Hi guys,
I am using openSUSE 13.1 and I am not being able to import some files in Rhythmbox 3.0.1.
Running rhythmbox in debug mode, gives me the following output, while trying to import those files:
http://pastebin.com/6zY2y5ep
On the GUI, under “Import Errors” I just see “The connection is closed”.
I have previously installed codecs under this websites:
http://opensuse-guide.org/codecs.php
http://opensuse-community.org/
without success. However, I don’t know if this may be related.
Can you please assist me on this issue?
Best regards,
Bruno
Does this happen with all files, or only specific filetypes?
I see mp3s mentioned in your output, but does it happen with all mp3s or only with some?
Rhythmbox uses gstreamer, so make sure you have gstreamer-fluendo-mp3 installed for mp3s to work.
And those are recommended as well, to be able to play most (if not all) files (this also applies to Totem/Videos of course, as this is also using gstreamer):
gstreamer-plugins-bad-orig-addon, gstreamer-plugins-ugly-orig-addon, gstreamer-plugins-libav
If installing them alone doesn’t help (or you have them installed already), try to do a “full repository vendor change update” to Packman:
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Vendor_change_update#Full_repository_Vendor_change
Sometimes it seems to be necessary to delete the gstreamer plugins cache to make it correctly recognize all installed plugins:
rm -r ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0
And make sure you don’t have both Packman and the VLC repos active. They are not compatible and haveing both will break multimedia support sooner or later.
If in doubt, please post your repo list:
zypper lr -d
I don’t use Rhythmbox at all, but it seemed to work fine last time I tried.
THANKS! Clean the cache worked.
