Slight problem playing MP3s... rhythmbox complains with a window saying
"Couldn't start playback (null)"
Muine complains with
"Audio backend error:
You do not have a decoder installed to handle this file. You might need to install the necessary plugins."
So, I installed various gstreamer package (having searched these forums) ..
gstreamer-tools-0.10.15-1.fc8
gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.15-4.fc8
gstreamer-0.10.15-1.fc8
gstreamer-ffmpeg-0.10.3-5.lvn8
gstreamer-python-0.10.11-1.fc8
gstreamer-plugins-pulse-0.9.5-0.4.svn20070924.fc8
gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.6-7.fc8
no joy.
So then, I installed livna fedora 8 rpm release package then ..
Code:
# yum install gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-plugins-bad

Installed no probs but still the same errors when trying to play any MP3 I have.
The MP3s are on a CD and play on other O/S just fine so I know its not the MP3s.
Any ideas please.
