Bug#480639: elisa: All media files ignored

[Daniel Nilsson]

Package: elisa
Version: 0.3.5-3
Severity: important


I'm trying to evaluate elisa but I'm stuck on a problem where all my media files are ignored, no files shows up in the gui available for playback. This is what I get on the console when elisa starts:

WARN  MainThread      metadata_manager            maj 11 11:12:44  Creating provider gstreamer:gst_metadata_client failed. A full traceback can be found at /tmp/elisa_Ma9JI5.txt (elisa/core/manager.py:103)

named file in /tmp in turns contains:

    p = self.protocol(isClient=True, security=self.security)
exceptions.TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'security'

I _assume_ this is what leads to this issue where only the directories of my music collection shows up. Running with debug on I get this:

This is the case for all audio, video and picture files, leaving only on-line content available
in elisa.

Same problem is reported at: http://elisa.fluendo.com/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=1715 but I'm
not sure this is an upstream bug though, it appears more likely to be a dependency or versioning
conflict? I'm not that familiar with python though so I'm not able to debug.
