GStreamer plugin missing - subtitleeditor

English Applications
#1

Loading a video in GTK-based subtitleeditor opens a error dialog:

GStreamer plugins missing.
The playback of this movie requires the following decoders which are not installed:

MPEG-4 Video Decoder (Advanced Simple Profile)

from the command line:

** (subtitleeditor:31659): WARNING **:  Decoder not available for type "video/mpeg, mpegversion=(int)4,  systemstream=(boolean)false, framerate=(fraction)24/1, width=(int)720,  height=(int)392,  codec_data=(buffer)000001b0f5000001b509000001000000012008868400630c5a10c45263000001b244697658353033623133393370000001b25876694430303634,  parsed=(boolean)true, profile=(string)advanced-simple, level=(string)5,  pixel-aspect-ratio=(fraction)1/1". [gsturidecodebin.c(939):  unknown_type_cb ():  /gtkmm__GstPlayBin:pipeline/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0]

Erasing the existing ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/registry.x86_64.bin just recreates it.

However it seems that GStreamer is installed from a mix of Oss and packman repos, although I did a full system switch (twice…):

Packman has higher 90 priority, all others are 99.

What am I not seeing?

Thanks.

#2

try

zypper dup --from 14
zypper in gstreamer-plugins-libav
#3

You must do a vendor change. Leave the priorities alone if you do only zypper up updates always come from the current vendor. If you d zypper dup you can get mixed repos.

#4

YES! That was it :slight_smile:

Thank you very much.

PS: AFAIKS there’s no need to dup, only gstreamer packages not on packman are installed from Oss.

#5

I did. Twice.

But a higher (lower number) priority would make no difference, since the vendor is already changed to packman, correct?

#6

Then, why do you have them? When you have them (which is not automatic, thus it is explicitly done by you), people get the idea that you think they are important. @gogalthorpe tries to explain that they are not.

Doing the switch afresh as first action when you think you have a multi-media problem is not a bad idea. When it does not help, the situation from where to start the debugging is clear to all.

#7

Correct, unless you run “zypper dup” (which you shouldn’t do anyway, except for upgrading to a new Leap version).

It does make a difference for newly installed packages though. But normally Packman’s versions should be higher anyway.

Btw, you may also want to install gstreamer-plugins-bad-orig-addon and gstreamer-plugins-ugly-orig-addon, those packages contain the plugins that are missing in the openSUSE packages for legal reasons (that should have fixed your original problem as well I think).
But gstreamer-plugins-libav should be able to play back virtually anything (everything that ffmpeg supports).

#8

It actually doesn’t matter if the gstreamer packages come from Packman or openSUSE, they are exactly the same (but Packman provides additional ones).

But for gstreamer-plugins-libav to fully work, you must have all ffmpeg/libav* packages coming from Packman.
The “zypper dup --from” assures that. Of course if all your packages are from Packman, it isn’t necessary to do it.

#9

I’d like to note that in this case the priority is indeed important, because the multimedia:libs repo has been added as well, which contains the latest (crippled, of course) versions of many multimedia packages, as it is the devel project for Tumbleweed.

#10

Btw, off-topic here, but still:
May I ask why you have [noparse]http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/wolfi323:/branches:/KDE:/Extra/openSUSE_Leap_42.3/[/noparse] in your list?
That’s basically just a work branch when I update packages in KDE:Extra.

You should have no need to use that, and the packages will disappear again anyway after I submitted them to KDE:Extra.
And even the whole repo may disappear again at some point.

#11

Wolfi explained why in post #9.

And that is exactly what I did…

#12

For kio-sysinfo.

#13

Ah, right.
I completely forgot that this is in there when I replied… lol!

That’s fine then.

#14

Please please please keep it there! lol!

#15

Sure. Except if I really submit it to KDE:Extra at some point… :wink:

I just was not thinking of the fact that it is in that repo, at the point of writing.
