issues on ppc, xfce

I am playing around with pitivi but can not get it to work properly.
I am running on a MacMini, ppc architecture.
I have gstreamer up and running OK and also managed to compile and start pitivi.
I do not have GNOME or related components installed, only GTK+ and
glib. This means that I did have to modify the source slightly to get
it to run at all (maybe this is a problem).
- I needed to remove the file:// scheme-prefix from the URI:s because
filesrc does not seem to like that prefix at all. - The check for gnome/gnomevfs was removed also.
Problem 1:
I have been trying to add a simple ogg/vorbis tune but this does not
seem to work. If I use Thunar (XFCE file manager) to drag-n-drop or if
i Select the "Add" button the result is the same:
First time: The file is received but no icon show up in the "Sources"
list and if I enable debug I get a warning from the OGG demuxer:
"oggdemux(31759)
gstoggdemux.c(2057):gst_ogg_demux_read_chain:<oggdemux0>
failed to
read chain[]"
I get the same warning when doing the following:
"gst-launch filesrc location=track01.cdda.ogg ! oggdemux ! filesink
location=test.dat"
but this seqence actually does something (test.dat is written to disk).
I have tested several different ogg/vorbis files and none work.
However they are correct ogg/vorbis files because they play nicely
when playing them with ogg123.
Second time I try to add a ogg-file it fails and after adding debug
statements to different parts of the program the problem seems to be
that addFiles in discoverer.py is empty - however in
_dndDataReceivedCb there is a filename that looks correct.
Problem 2:
When I add images it takes several seconds (around 5-10 seconds) to
add an image and CPU usage goes up to 100% for the pitivi python
process during this time.
Problem 3:
I have been able to add a MP3 file without major problems but normal
MPEG and/or AVI files fail (I have gstreamer-ffmpeg installed) with a
error dialog with either unknown format or could not determine type. I
tried several different movie files and none work correctly (although
they do play in mplayer).
I know pitivi is under development and I am not sure if I should
report these as bugs seeing that I do not use the gnome parts and
modified the source?
Any tips on how to debug this? The logs did not tell me that much and
I am not entirely sure where to start in the source code.
pitivi is from CVS. gstreamer is 0.10.4/0.10.5 and gnonlin is latest
from CVS also, compiled with gcc from Fedora (gcc-4.1.0-3) and python
2.4.2
Thanks in advance,
