I just upgraded to Raring Ringtail and I decided to start using Banshee, it looks great and integrated DVDs and videos is a major plus point.

I can't get Banshee to list the DVD in its browser unless it's mounted, and when I click the entry to play the mounted DVD it just crashes.

I put a bounty on the question now because I came to Banshee from clementine because that had different problems. I'm not getting this sorted out on my own too quick and people are demanding to play their DVDs.

I figured it should be like a music CD and just be playable without being mounted. It looks like I need to mount the DVD to see it in the browser panel, but that requires extra interaction with xubuntu outside Banshee. If anyone can answer that I'd be grateful, but the bounty is for a solution to the crashing.

I've got libdvdcss2 installed and gstreamer-ugly.

I have the option in the Extensions preferences checked to play DVDs and CDs.

This is the error I get when running it from the CLI and trying to play a DVD:

The program 'Banshee' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 44 error_code 11 request_code 149 minor_code 19)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

  • First there is a memory crash happening to Banshee that is smashing it trying to keep a window drawn on-screen. Secondly whatever library is in use is defaulting in odd ways. It would be handy if you could please give us your system hardware specifications as that may be crucial to this problem. Jul 29, 2013 at 3:23

I solved the problem with a bit of help from the xubuntu irc channel.

It was basically the video drivers were no good.

What solved it was a combination or one of adding the gstreamer0.10-vaapi pkg, the i965-va-driver pkg, adding that ubuntu-x-swat ppa and rebooting.

This has got rid of the crashing in banshee and parole.
