Hi all there,
I'm new in this forum, however I use Nightingale for a long time.
My problem is, that I'm now testing the Ubuntu Beta (trusty 14.04) and because there isn't a ppa: file of the release version for Ubuntu 14.04 I use the nightly version of nightingale (1.12.2a).
It all works nearly good with .mp3 and .ogg files but Nightingale isn't able to play my .wma files (however nightingale shows them in the library). At the begining I thought it could be a codec problem, but Rhytmbox and VLC are able to play this files.
Before I use Ubuntu saucy (13.10) and the release version of nightingale (1.12.1), this problem didn't occure.

I've made a screenshot of the error console, so I hope you can help me.

It is most likely some kind of codec problem, as VLC uses its own playback methods. Nightingale relies on gstreamer, and you probably don't have all required gstreamer plugins installed.

According to a german ubuntu help site, you should be able to install all free (as in beer) gstreamer plugins via executing

Code:

sudo apt-get install libxvidcore4 gstreamer0.10-plugins-base gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-alsa gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3

Thanks for your reply rsjtdrjgfuzkfg
I tried this command, but it seems, all codecs are installed and up to date.
I also think that, rhythmbox bases too on gstreamer so i don't understand why it works with rhythmbox but not with nightingale. So the fault has to be in my nightingale installation or may I overlook something?

Maybe the nightly version uses a bundled gstreamer? I haven't looked at the build config there tbh... and I can't find it right now. @GeekShadow should know that. Builds can be configured not to rely on an installed gstreamer.

Could you try building by yourself?

First off, GeekShadow probably has no idea how the Ubuntu nightlies are built, as those are maintained by Ukikie.
Secondly the nightly builds do use gstreamer. I can not give a definitive answer why Nightingale wouldn't play WMA files, but it seems the plugin is not loaded properly. If Nightingale doesn't display a Media Codec error, it is an error inside gstreamer. Note that we still use gst0.10, while in Ubuntu 14.04 the default gstreamer has been upgraded to 1.0, which could be one cause of the problem.

But Nightingale displays a Media Codec error... you find it down there...

If rhythmbox uses GStreamer 1.0 this does not say anything about what Nightingale can. However the list of packages includes every package that should allow you to play wma files with Nightingale. The only one not in the list is ffmpeg, but I am not sure if that allows you to play wma files.

So there is only the error in the error console and no media playback error (make sure you didn't disable the media playback error dialogs first, though I can't seem to find out what pref hides them).

Could you please run the following command(s):

Code:

export GST_DEBUG=GST_PLUGIN_LOADING:3 ; nightingale

This will log the plugin loading of gst. If you could please put the logoutput somewhere like pastebin.

If I paste this in a terminal, it only shows:

Code:

Hm, if I run this I get
