Quote:
The video output is in use by another application. Please close other video applications, or select another video output in the Multimedia Systems Selector.
Anybody got a solution to this?

No problem. Glad you got your sound working.

Do you have all the gstreamer plugins installed?

"pacman -Ss gst-plugins"

should give you a list of the different plugins you can install.
I think if you just do "pacman -S gst-plugins" it will install all of them but I'm not sure.
