Can't start ClutterFlow

Could you provide the output of running banshee from a terminal? You can store it in a file by using the following command:

banshee-1 > ~/banshee-log.txt

Just start banshee, let it start completely and than close it (or press ctrl+c in the terminal).
For your information, there is a 0.4 version in the git, so it could be just this. Sadly, I haven't come round to package it... (shame on me I know)

thanks,
mathijs

I tried the git but I don't have the time at the moment to solve the autogen errors:
configure.ac:47: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_GCONF_SOURCE_2
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.

I will try it again in the next days.

You should have gconf-sharp installed, and perhaps the dev packages for gconf as well

cheers
Mat

Very strange. I removed banshee and the extensions and compiled banshee 1.6.1 from source and then ClutterFlow from the community extensions git. I could resolve all the dependencies, but ClutterFlow isn't there. It is compiled and there is a folder for it but it isn't shown in the Extension menu from banshee. The other extensions are there (except Mirage).

I'm unable to upload a file so I will post the content of the logfile, you told me to create:

[Info 11:08:41.038] Running Banshee 1.6.1: [source-tarball (linux-gnu, x86_64) @ 2010-06-02 10:15:08 CEST]

bpm_detect got error: Interner Datenstromfehler. gstasfdemux.c(1646): gst_asf_demux_loop (): /GstPipeline:pipeline/GstDecodeBin:decodebin/GstASFDemux:asfd$

The last message only appears, when I end banshee in the menu. It isn't there if I close it with ctrl-c in the console.

There is also a warning in the console:
Gtk-WARNING **: Refusing to add non-unique action 'CloseAction' to action group 'Global'

Do you have any ideas Mat? Thank you for your help.

Okay,

just to make sure we're on par: after running ./configure (or ./autogen.sh if it is a fresh git) you get an output that should look something like this:
Extensions:
Alarm Clock: yes
AppIndicator: no
Awn: yes
ClutterFlow: yes
CoverWallpaper: yes
LCD: yes
Lirc: no
LiveRadio: yes
Lyrics: no
Magnatune: yes
Mirage: no
RadioStationFetcher: yes
StreamRecorder: yes
Telepathy: no
UbuntuOneMusicStore: no

Notice the line that read ClutterFlow: yes
if that line reads no, ClutterFlow won't compile. Usually, the missing dependency for ClutterFlow is clutter-sharp. You can grab (another) git copy of it like this:
git clone git://git.clutter-project.org/bindings/clutter-sharp clutter-sharp

to compile do the following:
./autogen.sh
If it complains: resolve dependencies (you know that bit already ;)), but for a default distro these days it should compile fine
and than:
make
sudo make install

after that go back to the banshee-extensions git dir and rerun ./configure

get back on me if this helped you out.

Fyi, I'm planning (don't know when I'll start) to port most of the code to C or use code from the Gloobus-flow project. So for the moment this project is on hold.

Cheers,
Mathijs

Thanks again. I'v compiled and installed the missing libraries. Now there is ClutterFlow in the extension menu but nothing happens. No new Tab or any other possibility to do something. The log shows the following:

But if you port the code to c I will wait and see if I can get it runnung then ;)

Could you try the new 0.4.1 version please?
