Ever wanted to use libxine to play stuff in Banshee? I’ve coded up the Xine Backend for you and here is how to install and activate it. Be aware that Banshee version newer than 0.10.10 is required. If you want to compile from source and you are on SUSE Linux...

The following patches add the required in order to make the Helix backend in Banshee equalizable. It consists of 2 parts. The first one patches the Helix DBus Server and the second the Helix-Remote Engine itself. The patches: Helix_IEqualizer.patch helix-dbus-server_Equalizer.patch

I’ve redesigned my previous banshee equalizer as a core banshee component and also as a separate window. Screeny: [[Image:software/banshee-equalizer-3.png|center]]

Erm. I wasn’t exactly planning to do so much Banshee stuff during the past few days (not that it’s really that much), but eh… After the Xine backendI hacked up an Equalizer plugin for Banshee. Bellow is the first public screenshot. It works like a charm here, saves it’s state...

Whoever for whatever reason wants to use LibXine in Banshee rather than Helix/GStreamer can now use my Xine-Engine. Big thanks to Aaron Bockover. More info here. I can continue my work on System.Design.* now.
