 |
|
Hello,
I have a problem with m4a audio files.
I'm able to play them in xine, but rhythmbox complains about a missing gstreamer plugins.
These are my use flags
| Code: |
USE= " X gtk gnome -qt3 -qt4 -kde dvd dvdr alsa cdr -cups png truetype lm_sensors acpi samba
tiff jpeg bzip2 mpeg avahi hal dbus java cups sse sse2 mp3 xvid encode vorbis mp3 flac
aac
"
|
Anyone has an idea? Thank you

Did you install any of the gst-plugins-* packages? If not, then install at least media-libs/gst-plugins-base and media-libs/gst-plugins-good. I think that's enough for m4a files, but others might be required. There are quite a few.

Perhaps I'm missing some other package, or I'm missing some important USE flag?
I don't know if this helps, but I receive this error when I start rhythmbox from a console and then open a m4a file
| Code: |
mose@CoreDuo ~ $ rhythmbox
** Message: don't know how to handle audio/x-m4a

Actually, it's gst-plugins-faac you need, I believe.

I did an
| Code: |
CoreDuo mose # emerge media-plugins/gst-plugins-faac
|
...not enough, so I tried
| Code: |
CoreDuo mose # emerge media-plugins/gst-plugins-faad
|
Same error.
So I tried
| Code: |
CoreDuo mose # emerge gst-plugins-bad
|
And I finally got it fixed.
The strange thing is that I actually need all these three plugins (if I unmerge one of those I can't play m4a in rhythmbox) and, most strange, gst-plugins-bad is a masked and unmaintained package.
Sounds a little strange to me that we can't have m4a support without masked packages on x86 architecture.
However, problem is solved.
Thank you |
