Title: [solved] Play avi with Parole
Post by: uggla on September 14, 2010, 06:58:02 AM

Hi!

When I try to play an avi with Parole I get:

A AVI demuxer plugin is required to play this stream, but not installed.

Is there a package for this?

regards

Ok, now I have gst-plugins-good installed and now I get:

You do not have a decoder installed to handle this file. You might need to install the necessary plugins.

I've tried installing the mentioned extensions before without luck. What should I try next?

well avi is a file format that contains video and audio streams, in order to decode these streams other codecs required.
you need to figure out the type of audio and video streams in the avi file

vlc shows information about codecs if you wish you can try it with vlc

I got it working!

I needed to install both gst-plugins-good.tcz and gst-ffmpeg.tcz.

Thanks!
