New installation; won't play any type of file

Hi, Steve,

 

Thanks for your reply.  My version of gnome is 2.16 and moving/copying the libraries to the /usr/lib directory didn't help. ; I believe that you are correct that Banshee can't see the gstreamer libraries, however, because I tested a second music player (Rhythmbox) that also doesn't work and, in fact, expressly complained that it couldn';t find the gstreamer plugins.  Since my initial email, I've further verified that Banshee can't play a music CD either (although it has no problems getting all of the meta-data).

 

So I'm afraid I'm still at a loss. ; If you have any other ideas, I'd be happy to hear them.

 

Thanks again,

Rob

This only happened to me on openSUSE 10.2 when the gstreamer libraries
were placed in a location that banshee couldn';t see.  If you're using
the stock gnome code (2.16) then this will probably be in
/opt/gnome/lib/gstreamer, but if like me you're on the edge with 2.18,
then you need to physically move the gstreamer stuff from that folder
to /usr/lib/gstreamer.

If you want to leave things where they are, then you probably want to
look at adding the location of gstreamer library folder to a
gstreamer.conf file in &nbsp;/etc/ld.so.conf.d/
You can create this file manually.

Hope it helps.
Steve



Hope this helps!

I didn't try that, but thanks to you and Matthew I realize that I didn't have the fluendo-mp3 plug-in.&nbsp; It's working very nicely now. 

 

Thanks to all,

Rob

Hmm!&nbsp; Did you try the ldconfig changes and then issue an ldconfig
command as root?
