clementine, mp3, gstreamer (F23)

[Frank Elsner]

Hello community,

as mentioned earlier the upgrade from Fedora 22 to Fedora 23 went smoothly.

But my favourite music player "clementine" refuses to play mp3 due to a missing gstreamer plugin.

The following gstreamer plugins are installed

gstreamer-0.10.36-13.fc23.i686
gstreamer1-1.6.4-1.fc23.i686
gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-1.6.4-1.fc23.i686
gstreamer1-plugins-base-1.6.4-1.fc23.i686
gstreamer1-plugins-good-1.6.4-1.fc23.i686
gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-0.10.23-29.fc23.i686
gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.36-13.fc23.i686
gstreamer-plugins-espeak-0.4.0-7.fc23.i686
gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.31-15.fc23.i686
gstreamer-plugins-ugly-0.10.19-18.fc23.i686
gstreamer-tools-0.10.36-13.fc23.i686

Which one is missing? Are there conflicting plugins?
Any changes related to plugins since Fedora 22?

Kind regards, Frank Elsner

Ok, following the dependency chain here...

$ rpm -q --requires clementine | grep gstreamer
gstreamer-plugins-good
libgstreamer-0.10.so.0()(64bit)

So it uses the gstreamer not gstreamer1 packages...

$ sudo dnf repoquery --whatprovides "libgstreamer-0.10.so.0()(64bit)"
Local Packages for Fedora 23                     51 MB/s | 172 kB     00:00
Last metadata expiration check: 0:00:01 ago on Wed May  4 07:38:00 2016.
gstreamer-0:0.10.36-13.fc23.x86_64

Played around with various incarnations of rpm -q/dnf repoquery and got to
this:

]$ rpm -q --whatprovides
"gstreamer0.10(decoder-audio/mpeg)(mpegversion=1)(layer=3)()(64bit)"
gstreamer-plugins-ugly-0.10.19-18.fc23.x86_64

So it looks like you have the correct package installed. I only recently
changed over to clementine and most of my collection is in ogg but I'm sure
I've played some of my MP3's by now.

Thanks,
Richard

Hello,

this seems to be the solution for the clementine/mp3 problem.
I got this on the RPM Fusion users discussion list

Will test this if time permits.
