[SOLVED] Rhythmbox can't play mp3 in fedora 21

mshlinux · 12-11-2014, 02:13 AM

I know this is old question. But I googled around all day and couldn't find solution. I installed fedora 21 workstation. I can't play mp3 in Rhythmbox.
Of course I installed media codec.
I have these:

Code:

[msh@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa | grep gstreamer

If I run Rhythmbox in terminal, I get this:

Code:

[msh@localhost Downloads]$ rhythmbox "04-Nya Si Pyan Khae Par.mp3"

I got my solution.
I found this page http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/html_singl...llation-HOWTO/. See "6. MP3" section.
it says

Quote:

It ignores track numbers — or, at least, is not as smart at parsing them out of filenames as xmms is,

the problem is that the mp3 file I am trying to open is including track No. something like "04"
my mp3 file is this:

Quote:

04 - Nga Si Pyan Khae Par.mp3

stupid Rhythmbox doesn't understand it and my stupidity didn't understand it.
Now, I have changed the file name as "Nga Si Pyan Khae Par.mp3" and play it in Rhythmbox.
Ok.......... it plays.
I got it, Done!

I have the same issue, but I do not have any track number on the mp3 file and still it isn't playing. The errors are same as you. For now, I just installed Clementine and its working smoothly.

Issue resolved.

Your problem description sounds much like a corner-case where a set of
packages to be installed is rejected because at least one of the packages
is installed already.

You need to manually install the packages using yum.
