Hmm - is this with the latest gstreamer? I've only used rhythmbox with oss - give a day or two to try with alsa...

[jls]

yes

[Juanito]

With the previous version of gstreamer, rhythmbox plays without problems with both alsa and oss

i have strange problems with gstreamer too may be we should update gst-plugins ? i can update bad,good,ugly and ffmpeg but first gst-plugins-base has to be updated

or revert to old gstreamer if new gstreamer is not really required ??

Maybe JLS could comment on this - i.e. does the new gstreamer bring some real benefits, or could we stay with the old one.

I'm updating also the gst plugins

I'm updating also the gst plugins

which ones ? in past i have added some plugins to bad,good and ugly sets to keep backward compatibility i can update those again if gst-plugins-base is updated

[jls]

submitting gst-plugins-base 0.10.28

[jls]

tested 0.10.28 but gives me error with totem, so not submitting

[jls]

with gst-plugins-base 0.10.28:

Code: [Select]


tc@box:~$ totem

i have updated all of the gst plugins base,bad,good,ugly,ffmpeg and python in my local repository but there is an annoying bug gstreamer complains about reloading a missing plugin even if i load required libraries

so what is the logic of using gstreamer version latest when rest of plugins are not  ?

I updated gstreamer beacuse I had problem with voice/video in pidgin, and now it seems to work better then before, but maybe I'm wrong. If u come online with your gmail account we can try to speak, unfortunately I don't have anymore the previous version of gstreamer.tcz.

rm -f ~/.gstreamer-0.10/registry.i686.bin as a temporary solution fixes the problem of blacklisted plugins
