Hi,
I tried to install Arista Transcoder in openSUSE but when I try to transcode any file it throws an error that elements not found. Then it offers to install some gstreamer packages but fails to do so. How to make Arista work under openSUSE?
I have not specifically used the Arista Transcoder about which you speak, but I wonder if perhaps you are missing some multimedia files? I suggest you might want to read through this guide:
Multi-media and Restricted Format Installation Guide
I have a bash script that can check your multimedia setup you can find here:
Consider following the guide, then check your setup and then give the Arista Transcoder another test.
Thank You,
Where did you obtain your version of ‘arista’ from ? What version have you got ? When I look for packaged rpms of Arista for openSUSE-12.1 I note this: software.opensuse.org: Search Results … ie more than 1 source. Edit and also from packman: PackMan :: Informationen zum Paket arista
I tried downloading Arista from Yast (pacman repo is enabled) and also from software.opensuse.org. I have formatted my machine couple of times trying different methods so packages don’t conflict. I also installed restricted formats from here:Restricted formats/12.1 - openSUSE Community Wiki
When I run Arista and try to transcode I get this error:
Conversion of The_Iron_Lady.mp4 to Generic Android Droid X failed! Reason: Unable to construct pipeline! no property “profile” in element “faac0”
Faac is installed already.
OK. Looks like issue with Gstreamer.

“Well, this is maybe a temporary breakage of gstreamer…
Anyway, soundconverter tells faac to use the low complexity profile, but this is now the default (as of 0.10.35), so you can experiment, and remove the “profile=2” in soundconverter/gstreamer.py, line 654 and see what happens.”
Can someone please tell me the location of gstreamer.py so that I can edit and see if the problem goes away?

I have checked the script and it shows all the dependencies satisfied. I also checked #16 and it also did not throw any error. Yes, I can point one thing that while install codecs it did throw a lot of errors. I will reformat system and try to replicate the problem and share the out-put with you.
Yes. I also have all the codecs installed as mentioned in the link
