Since no one else is answering, yes – there has been progress porting to windows. Currently there is work being done to make the trunk series (git master) build on windows in MonoDevelop without modifications to the code.
There has been a large number of patches applied to do this and progress is fairly rapid.

Also a number of people have successfully built the trunk version, with modifications – allowing developers to pinpoint where changes need to be made.

It is possible (although unlikely) that banshee will have nightly windows builds by 2.0 (we’re currently at 1.9.2).

Has there been any progress on Banshee for Windows? Particularly a GStreamer backed one. This would solve many of my friends Windows issues.

@ corey, stop being an elitest douche. i use linux and windows and it would be nice to have linux a little more mainstream. linux scares the average person and it pisses me off how linux users feel like it’s some kind of badge of honor. if linux is so great, why keep people confused and afraid of it? i like banshee alot and am glad it’s on windows. and yes i know the post is from 2 years ago

cheers!!

It will propably make it even easier to move from Windows to Linux if you can use the same applications.

Look, there will always be Windows users, Mac OSX users, and Linux/Unix users. I don’t see any problem with porting Linux apps to Windows in fear of making Windows more popular. :P

This is cool. But part of me deep down wants to say stop bringing linux to windows users and start bringing windows users to linux. But maybe exposing them to the greatness that is Banshee will.

You can use the windowprocedure to spy on hardware messages windows sends. I had this working in gtk a while back, if I can find the example I’ll send it your way.
