there are plugins available ? any output if you run the command by hand ? In your case i'm actually thinking you messed up your system somehow beyond our control.
Recently faced the same problem, it used to work, but stopped at some point. Plugins are in /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8/, gst versions: [ebuild R ] media-libs/gstreamer-0.8.1 0 kB [ebuild R ] media-libs/gst-plugins-0.8.1 +alsa +esd +oss 0 kB gst-register-0.8 gives: rebuilding global_registry (/var/lib/cache/gstreamer-0.8/registry.xml) rebuilding user_registry (/root/.gstreamer-0.8/registry.xml) loaded 0 plugins with 0 features There was thread in forums on the issue as well: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=166591
Getting the same thing here, right after a regular -u world upgrade to gstreamer 0.8.1, didn't touch anything myself.
Does anyone who experiences this problem *not* use reiser4? # gst-register-0.8 rebuilding global_registry (/var/lib/cache/gstreamer-0.8/registry.xml) rebuilding user_registry (/root/.gstreamer-0.8/registry.xml) loaded 0 plugins with 0 features # cd /usr/lib/ # cp -a gstreamer-0.8/ /dev/shm/ # mount --bind /dev/shm/gstreamer-0.8/ gstreamer-0.8 # gst-register-0.8 rebuilding global_registry (/var/lib/cache/gstreamer-0.8/registry.xml) added plugin ac3parse with 1 feature(s) added plugin alaw with 2 feature(s) added plugin alsa with 3 feature(s) added plugin gstaudio with 0 feature(s) ...
I'm using reiser4 here, and it turned out to be the problem for me.
It's more general I think. All versions of gstreamer I tested (from 0.6.4 to 0.8.1) doesn't seem to work.
When using a reiserfs 3 partition this does not happen. Also people in the forums have reported it works for ext2/3. If you want me to do some test let me know.
OK, I meaned it works not on reiser4 with any version of gstreamer.
Okay, I am not sure what we can do about this bug since it's reiser4 related, all I can say is that it's probably not a good idea to use reiser4 as your main partition yet.
