Clementine not playing Monkey Audio

English Multimedia
1

Hello

I’m running Opensuse 13.2.

When I try to play APE files with Clementine I get the following error: “Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in”. FLAC and CUE+FLAC play just fine. APE doesn’t play even when I open the APE itself, not the CUE. I installed the multimedia codecs pack for 13.2, but to no avail.

On the same machine everything plays fine with VLC, while Amarok plays the APE, but doesn’t understand the CUE.

Not that I couldn’t live without Clementine, but its GUI suits me best. Is there a way to get it to play APE?

Thank you.

Clementine uses gstreamer-0_10 for playback, VLC uses its own codecs.
Amarok uses KDE’s Phonon framework and therefore can use either VLC or gstreamer-1.0.

You seem to be missing the appropriate codec for gstreamer-0_10 only.

I don’t think there’s a dedicated plugin for APE files.
But try to install gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ffmpeg, that should cover basically everything.

It worked.
Thank you very much!
