Greetings ,
After yesterdays updates audacious seems to have lost the mp3 plugin and can no longer play mp3 files . The version with the problem is
audacious-2.4.3-1.fc14.x86_64 audacious-plugins-freeworld-mp3-2.4.0-1.fc14.x86_64 audacious-plugins-2.4.3-1.fc14.pl1.x86_64 audacious-libs-2.4.3-1.fc14.x86_64
Up until now i have never had a problem playing mp3 files . If am correct the thing is that the mp3 plugin seems to be installed but audacious ( the freeworld-mp3-2.4.0-1.fc14.x86_64) doesn´t seem to recognize it . Can someone tell me what´s going wrong ?

The freeworld plugin comes from rpm-fusion, not from Fedora. You need to enable the rpm-fusion repo and then do an update:
# yum --enablerepo=rpmfusion-free* update audacious-plugins-freeworld-mp3
If you look carefully at the packages you list, you can see that the freeworld package is an older version than what you just updated "audacious" to.

As explained in the Update Notes, the Generic Plugin API Version has changed since Audacious 2.4.2, and all plugins need a rebuild. Or else they are not loaded.
Plugin packages not provided by Fedora can only be rebuilt once the Audacious update is available in the stable updates repository.
On top of that, there hasn't been a strong dependency between the 3rd party plugin packages and the base player, which would reflect their specific Plugin API requirements. The plugin packages could have required a specific version of Audacious though, even if that would be too strict since some minor releases of Audacious *are* compatible.
Future updates of Audacious (currently only in Fedora 15 development, however) will be able to add a hard dependency on a specific audacious(plugin-api) package capability. That will make it possible for 3rd party plugin packages to block an incompatible update of Audacious in Fedora by creating a broken dependency temporarily.

Arrrgh. I just updated 2 minutes ago and indeed audacious is broken.
Arrrgh, no, it is not broken.
Please do read the Update Notes and my other reply in this thread.

Thanks Michael for the update. My question then is: why release it when the RPMfusion audacious-plugins-freeworld is not yet available on the stable branch? Aren't 99% of the audacious users using it along with that other "freee" package?
I honestly didn't paid much attention to the notes on the package update. This wasn't a core service or kernel update so I didn't paid much attention to that. I will next time..

The freeworld plugin comes from rpm-fusion, not from Fedora. You need to enable the rpm-fusion repo and then do an update:
But i have the rpm-fusion repositories enabled and that´s were the mp3 plugin was originally found . It´s just that the mp3 plugin is a bit older .
# yum --enablerepo=rpmfusion-free* update audacious-plugins-freeworld-mp3

So Michael, if i understood you correctly all i have to do is get the source of the mp3 plugin and recompile it or just wait a few days up untill the package with the mp3 plugin is released in rmpfusion and in the meanwhile i can always use another player from the many available ( Amarok / xmms /Kaffeine ) to listen to the mp3s ?
I was updating with yum and i have to admit that i am uncertain on where the update notes u mention are . Maybe i should check the Audacious web page for them ?

As I've learnt just a day ago (or so) that RPM Fusion cannot build against Fedora Test Updates. They have to wait for packages from "updates-testing" to enter the stable "updates" repository, before the build system will be able to use them.
There would have been only one work-around for this problem. Step by step:
1) publish a mostly superfluous update of audacious-plugins-freeworld to depend on exactly the previous Audacious 2.4.0 and not change anything else in that update 2) publish Audacious 2.4.3 at Fedora 3) RPM Fusion users will get a broken dependency when 2.4.3 enters stable, which will stop them from updating Audacious 4) publish an update of audacious-plugins-freeworld for 2.4.3 5) RPM Fusion users will become able to update all at once
That RPM Fusion seems to have new problems and hasn't pushed any packages since Wed adds to the severity of this issue.
A strict dependency in 3rd party plugin packages will be needed. An update of Audacious that exports the audacious(plugin-api) version has been submitted to Fedora 14 updates-testing this evening.

To fix this what you need to do is downgrade audacious.
$ yum list installed | grep audacious take note of what you have installed
$ yum erase audacious you will have to take out several other packages which are dependencies
go to http://pkgs.org/download/fedora-14/ Find and download: audacious-2.4.0-3.fc14.1.x86_64.rpm audacious-libs-2.4.0-3.fc14.1.x86_64.rpm audacious-plugins-2.4.0-5.fc14.x86_64.rpm
note: my system is 64bit. download the 32 bit if you need.
install the old "working" packages. $ rpm -ivh audacious*
now, $ yum install audacious-plugins-freeworld-mp3
along with whatever other packages you want and you are back in business.

Thanks Dennis. That worked nicely. pkgs.org rocks! I didn't know that one.
Best regards, Jorge

The updated audacious-plugins-freeworld package for Fedora 15 development has been released last week. You could get the src.rpm at your favourite RPM Fusion mirror and rpmbuild it for your Fedora 14.
I was updating with yum and i have to admit that i am uncertain on where the update notes u mention are . Maybe i should check the Audacious web page for them ?
The PackageKit GUIs display the notes entered within the Fedora Updates System: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/
It's really a web page many more Fedora users ought to become familiar with.

I see. Yes, that would have been a nice hack probably.

Great. Thanks for all the packaging work you do with audacious; it is is really appreciated.
All the best, Jorge
