[SOLVED] exaile-0.3.2.0 error loading

welsh_frosty · 08-18-2010, 07:49 PM

hi, i have been trying to install this nice looking piece of software for the last 3/4 days, getting a headache now

my lastest error is..

Code:

** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GtkWindow)
** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GtkInvisible)
** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GtkObject)
INFO    : Loading Exaile 0.3.2.0...

    elems.append(gst.element_factory_make('identity'))
gst.ElementNotFoundError: identity

does anyone know what it is missing, with previous errors, it has been easy to work out (with and with out google's help), but nothing stands out to me,

i have installed

pygtk-2.16.0
pygobject-2.21.5
gst-python-0.10.19
dbus-python-0.83.0
pycairo-1.2.2
gobject-introspection-0.9.3
libffi-3.0.9

thanks to anyone that can point me in the right direction

The Requirements site http://www.exaile.org/requirements

Quote:

* Python ( >= 2.5)
* pygtk2 ( >= 2.12)
* gstreamer 0.10,
* gstreamer good plugins
* pygst

You also need gettext if you want localization support.

+ The optional dependencies. And all must be ' -devel ' packages.

sorry based on system LFS 6.3 (with xfce-4.6, i also have xine working, plays mp3s and videos no problems) so everything has been installed from source so "-devel" name in package don't count.

yes read the requirements, Python 2.5.2 is installed, so are all the other things, the list i gave was what was on top of my head.

so basically your saying you have no idea either then?

"" gst.ElementNotFoundError: identity ""
Hard to say, what it is.
May be it's caused by a certain combination of prerequisites ?
You are probably the first one to experience this error : Unknown by Google.

Using: python-2.5.2 pygtk-2.17.0 dbus-python-0.83.1 mutagen-1.18
gstreamer-0.10.19 python-gstreamer-0.10.19 'gstreamer good plugins 0.10.23'
> > >
cd exaile-0.3.2.0/ && make : The output is : ........ done .......... done ........
And 25 seconds later : $ 'exaile' displays the Exaile GTK GUI.
( I just clicked the script 'exaile', in the build directory 'exaile-0.3.2.0/' )

would it be gst and gst-python are different versions, gst is 0.10.30 and python is 0.10.19, basically plugin base and good are also different,
gst.elementnotfound say gst error but what?

knudfl · 08-21-2010, 12:50 PM

Ref. # 4 : Same prerequisites, but with gstreamer and gst-plugins-base
changed to version 0.10.30 : Same OK compile result with exaile-0.3.2.0

Please have a look into the source <file>.spec for the packages, I used.
May be the "./configure" is done different.
Also : There is a patch in gst-plugins-base : align.patch.
I can't see, if it has any importance. ( Probably not.)

well I got exaile to load. reinstalled gstreamer again, and it worked...
but..
it's not playing music, my mp3s or the files in the test directory, "your gstreamer installation is missing plugins".
noticed in ugly plugin I need lame, but xine works sure that needed gstreamer to..

well have a bash again tonight, but thanks for your help, will look at them files anyway to see if I missed something stupid.

welsh_frosty · 08-24-2010, 05:43 AM

hi, as i said in last post exaile loads.
i think the test files may be broken, the ogg one, dosen't work, but music file for widelands are ogg and they loaded, so it is working, but mp3 still isn't or is wma but didn't expect that to.

what gst plugin plays mp3s? didn't notice any of the ./configure say (not/)adding mp3 support so don't know what dependancies i'm missing

welsh_frosty · 08-25-2010, 07:31 AM

all sorted

needed gst-ffmpeg to be installed...
