    Rhythmbox and Gstreamer

    Hi All,

    I have been struggling to get gstreamer to play MP3 files. I understand that MP3 support is removed from FC3 and that the RPM 'gstreamer-plugins-extra-audio' from freshrpms will add the support.

    I add the freshrpms repo into my /etc/yum/repo.d/ directory and then installed the key for the repo 'rpm --import <url>'. After that I ran an update, just to make sure, and the entered the command 'yum install gstreamer-plugins-extra-audio'. The software and deps where downloaded and installed.

    I then ran 'gst-register' as root and as my user account. Next I started the Rhythmbox application and upon playing an MP3 file is crashed!! Any ideas? I'm a bit stumped.

    Secondly, is it worth installing 'apt' when yum seems to be the same thing?

    install gstreamer-plugins-mp3

    yum or apt? It's up to you. I installed smart and it works great! It is based on yum by the way, but you could also use synaptic as another front end.

    Can I get gstreamer-plugins-mp3 from freshrpms? I'll have a hunt.

    I'm a bit new to all this and to be honest it's a bit of step learning curve, I have used synaptic on debian so that would be prefered. Can synaptic work with yum?

    just do
    Code:
    yum install gstreamer-plugins-mp3
    Di you add the repos to yum? Check out www.fedorafaq.org for how to do this.
    As I don't use synaptic, I can't give you a definite answer, but I believe that synaptic uses apt as a back end. This thread http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/sho...light=synaptic might be of interest to you.
    Hope that helps!

    From what I read there, if you mix using synaptic with other front ends you will mess up your system badly!
    Also, bear in mind that there is a bug in the latest version of rhythmbox which really annoys me: When you add a folder to the library, it will loop forever (hang/crash) when it finds a jpg in it or it's subdirectories. I'm having that problem on version 0.8.8

    This is all good, but they provide i386 rpms and I need x86_64 - considering this is the AMD64 forum.

    Is that an AMD64 bit repo that have everything?

    At the rpm website look for same package and it will give you a 64 version.

    Use the fedora f.a.q. people: www.fedorafaq.org/#rhythmbox-mp3 explains how to add mp3 support for rhythmbox.
