Playing audio samples from Amazon.com

English Applications
1

Does anybody know if there’s a codec package of some kind that I need to
install so that I can preview sound clips on Amazon.com? I’ve tried in
Mozilla, Konqueror, and Opera, and I hear nothing :frowning:

Konqueror offers to open the samples with Amarok, but it says “plugin
text/uri-list decoder is missing” but I’ll be darned if I can find a
package that might satisfy this missing dependency.

OK, this morning I can now play sound samples on Amazon.com. One of the
many packages I installed last night must now be working after the PC
had a rest overnight.

For future reference, one of the packages I remember installing was
gstreamer-ugly, and some python gst package. I don’t know how to see a
list of software I’ve installed over time.

Hi
Use the rpm command and pipe it to a file, for example;


rpm -qa --last > rpm_install_list.txt
less rpm_install_list.txt

sure):
