You still didn't tell us which quodlibet version is this about...

This doesn't look like a quodlibet problem. It looks like an upgrade/change in a package gstreamer uses might have caused the problem. Please run "revdep-rebuild" (provided by the gentoolkit package) and then "emerge gstreamer flac gst-plugins-flac gst-python". If that doesn't fix the problem, please re-open this bug and include a list of which version of quodlibet, gst-plugins-flac, gst-python, flac, and gst-python you have installed.

[Comment 5 A. Person 2006-05-31 09:51:49 UTC]

I ran revdep-rebuild which re-emerged 4 gst related packages and re-emerged gstreamer, flac, gst-plugins-flac, and gst-python but I have the same results.

[Comment 6 Thomas Cort (RETIRED) 2006-05-31 10:23:59 UTC]

I'm reassigning this to gstreamer@g.o as the problem appears to be in
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gst-0.10/gst/__init__.py and
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gst-0.10/gst/_gst.so

gstreamer team, please take a look at this. If it isn't a gstreamer related problem, please assign the bug back to me, thanks.

[Comment 7 A. Person 2006-06-19 17:49:43 UTC]

Any ideas here guys?

[Comment 8 foser (RETIRED) 2006-06-20 06:20:21 UTC]

I think it's libxslt libxml-2 python bindings being out of sync or something. Rebuilding those (libxml and then libxslt) might solve this.

[Comment 9 A. Person 2006-06-20 16:47:35 UTC]

I re-emerged those packages and quodlibet acts the same way.  I would really appreciate any other ideas you have.  I'll try anything.

[Comment 10 Zaheer Abbas Merali (RETIRED) 2006-06-21 20:20:22 UTC]

Please try this:

USE=python emerge libxml

Then see if it works, if not:

re-emerge gst-python

[Comment 11 A. Person 2006-06-22 15:24:40 UTC]

Same situation.  libxml doesn't have a python USE flag by the way.  Any other possibilities?

[Comment 12 Zaheer Abbas Merali (RETIRED) 2006-06-23 04:01:30 UTC]

Sorry, i meant libxml2 where i said libxml!

[Comment 13 A. Person 2006-06-23 12:18:37 UTC]

I already had python in make.conf but I went ahead and did it anyway with the same results.  Anything else?

[Comment 14 A. Person 2006-10-20 12:37:46 UTC]

I'm using Banshee now.
