BPD: Could not create playbin

[robinwit]

I installed these deps: brew reinstall gstreamer gst-plugins-base pygobject3 gst-plugins-good But BPD fails to call GStreamer (found this related PR).

Problem

Running this command in verbose (-vv) mode:

$ python3 -m beets -vv bpd

Led to this problem:

user configuration: /Users/robin/.config/beets/config.yaml
data directory: /Users/robin/.config/beets
plugin paths: 
Sending event: pluginload
library database: /Users/robin/.config/beets/library.db
library directory: /Users/robin/Music
Sending event: library_opened
bpd: Starting server...
error: Could not create playbin

Here's a link to the music files that trigger the bug (if relevant):

Setup

• OS: macOS 12.5.1 (arm64)
• Python version: Python 3.10.6
• beets version: 1.6.0
• Turning off plugins made problem go away (yes/no): n/a

My configuration (output of beet config) is:

plugins: bpd
bpd:
    host: 127.0.0.1
    port: 6600
    password: REDACTED
    volume: 100
    control_port: 6601

It's hard to say exactly what went wrong here! Maybe the GST_DEBUG environment variable would cause Gstreamer to reveal more information? https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/tutorials/basic/debugging-tools.html?gi-language=c

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
