WMA - i can't get it to work

English Applications
1

I don’t know. Maybe i am just dump but it seem i can not get wma files
to play under my Linux.
I read a lot of posting to do this and that and i tried it all out. I
think at least.
But no matter what i do, it still does not play them.

Here some infos first.

I think its not a codec but a streamer pack thats needed. I might
perhaps get fluendo to make it easier for me in the future.
Well, if someone knows a tip or solution i am thankful for that. It
drove me crazy yesterday. Uggh.

Hi
You use gst-inspect… I run fluendo codec bundle;


gst-inspect |grep wma
fluwma:  fluwmadec: Fluendo WMA Decoder (STD + PRO + LSL + WMS)
fluwma:  fluwmsdec: Fluendo WMS Decoder
typefindfunctions: video/x-ms-asf: asf, wm, wma, wmv

Mm… ok, here is mine.


joerg@linux-26uw:~> gst-inspect |grep wma
typefindfunctions: video/x-ms-asf: asf, wm, wma, wmv
ffmpeg:  ffenc_wmav1: FFmpeg Windows Media Audio 1 encoder
ffmpeg:  ffenc_wmav2: FFmpeg Windows Media Audio 2 encoder
ffmpeg:  ffdec_wmapro: FFmpeg Windows Media Audio 9 Professional decoder
ffmpeg:  ffdec_wmav1: FFmpeg Windows Media Audio 1 decoder
ffmpeg:  ffdec_wmav2: FFmpeg Windows Media Audio 2 decoder
ffmpeg:  ffdec_wmavoice: FFmpeg Windows Media Audio Voice decoder

so why does it not work. I tried to play these files with every
application but it seems not to work.
It doesn’t happen very often that i have these wma files, but i feel
like that i will not get them to work.
I assume that you use the paid bundle.

Hi
Should work, maybe some embedded DRM? Can you upload a sample somewhere? lame/faad2 combo should be able to convert.

Yes, been using paid version for a number of years now, codec-bundle, handbrake and libdvdcss2 (3 rpms total) and all my multimedia requirements are met…
