Debian Gnome3 Video/Audio Decoder Problems

checkmate3001 · 04-30-2012, 11:07 AM

I've decided to move my Debian machine from stable to testing. As such it has installed Gnome3 (which is quite buggy right now). Right now I can't play any DVDs or mp3s without it complaining that it can't find the "Gstream element uridecodebin".

It alos complains of a missing media profile or something similar.

I'm assuming this is a simple configuration blip, but I can't seem to find out how to fix this.

Any tips?

hi

run

Code:

dpkg -l | grep gstream*

I use vlc player but if something is pesky you may need to install the "good, bad and ugly" gstreamer files, you can see them with next command

Code:

apt-cache search gstreamer

I have all the plugins installed. If I had to guess some configuration file was not created correctly. Whatever the media profiles are. Strangely, I don't have this issue in Xfce. It is only in Gnome3.

Thanks.

lets assume its a missing media profile then

go into home folder with hidden files showing

I don't use gnome but there is bound to be a

(make a backup and I assume you know how to use a live cd to replace if problems)

.config/gnome* delete that folder

reboot

retry

good luck
