I recently tried to move away from iTunes to Banshee on my Windows machine, and get similar update message issues etc. but also when I try to play AAC encoded music (which is most of my music), I get the message "Missing GStreamer Plugin MPEG-4 AAC decoder". I understand what this means but, t.b.h. I am a bit clueless about why I get it. I have tried installing (independently) both the 64 and 32 bit versions of GStreamer for Windows from http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/pkg/windows/1.0.7/ but subsequently Banshee still reports the same issue. Also, having given the error message it seems to try to play the track anyway, although nothing actually happens other than the play/pause icon changing Is there any news about a beta or RC version of Banshee for Windows?Codecs are a nightmare on any/every platform. I'd suggest asking on the gstreamer list; someone is more likely to know something there [I'd really expect the codec to already be there on Windows...]
Not all platforms. GStreamer's got codec auto-installation hooks present and implemented in most distros already. -- Kind regards, Loong Jin
