Cannot play MP3 files on Totem

11-22-2011, 08:04 PM

Dear All,

When trying to play MP3 files on F16 with Totem, I get the following error:

"The playback of this movie requires a ID3 tag demuxer plugin which is
not installed."

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

MP3 is a proprietary file format codex for it are not included in
Fedora.

Thanks, Terry, but what plugin do I need? I do have rpmfusion
repository installed, but I do not know what plugin to install.

yum search gstreamer

Install all of the packages listed that have good, bad, ugly and
ffmpeg in their names that are correct for your architecture and
barring the devel packages. Alternatively you can install easylife or
autoplus to do all of this for you. Hope this helps.

Strange. As long as you have rpmfusion properly installed Totem should
figure out which packages need to be installed and offer to install
them. At least that's how it usually works for me.

The other strange thing is the error. It didn't say MP3 demuxer, but
rather an ID3 tag demuxer...

Fedora tries to find the appropriate plugin, but no appropriate plugin is found:

I do have the repository rpmfusion non-free installed.

Any further ideas?

Only work if you have the correct PackageKit* rpm installed.

Do you mean "PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin"?

Interesting, I've never installed that specifically, it must have been
pulled in by something else.

Paul,

Can you check to make sure you have that installed?

Yes, I have:

$ rpm -q PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin
PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin-0.6.20-1.fc16.x86_64
$

Ok, I did a quick search for id3 and found two likely packages:

id3lib
libid3tag

I have both installed so I don't know which Totem uses. Since it's not
a hard dependency I don't think repoquery can help here.

Seeing that libid3tag is required by gstreamer-plugins-ugly, I would
guess that's the one.
