On current, using Alien's Handbrake package, the preview feature will not play. The preview window opens, and shows a video frame, but a little while after pressing the play button, a message pops up saying "Missing GStreamer plugin. Audio or Video may not play as expected. H.264 (High Profile) decoder.". Similar messages for "MPEG-4 AAC decoder" and "AC-3 (ATSC A/52 decoder)". The Activity window shows:
Code:
** (ghb:30747): WARNING **: Gstreamer Error: Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in.
** (ghb:30747): WARNING **: Gstreamer Error: Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in.
** (ghb:30747): WARNING **: Gstreamer Error: GStreamer encountered a general stream error.
I have installed all Alien's gst-plugins-* packages, along with the full complement of Slackware packages, and x264-20130524-x86_64-1alien. There are no missing libraries when I run ldd on the ghb binary.
I can rip DVDs just fine, it's just the preview playback that won't work.
