By default, the gnome-cd application included with gnome-extra/gnome-media-2.18.0 is unable to play CDs. When started, it gives the error `No URI handler implemented for "cdda"'. Installing media-plugins/gst-plugins-cdio, currently without a package marked stable, solves this problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Without gst-plugins-cdio installed, install gnome-media 2.18.0. 2. Insert a CD and open `gnome-cd' from the command line. Actual Results: gnome-cd spits out an error and claims it cannot find the disc. Expected Results: gnome-cd should recognize the disc and allow the user to play it.
We can't depend on it until it doesn't have a stable version, or we'll be stuck in ~arch for gnome-media till then. Gstreamer plugins are supposed to be dynamic like that - ideally instead of depending on any of them, you would be told what package you need to emerge to enable a functionality you try to use - like libgimmecodec in Ubuntu, I think. There are plans for such a gstreamer hook for Gentoo, similar to what Ubuntu and now also Fedora has, but no-one has taken the time to implement this yet. Just a version that tells what package to emerge in the command line would be a good start.
@reporter, does it also work with gst-plugins-cdparanoia ? (you'll have to temporarily remove gst-plugins-cdio to test that, use quickpkg and emerge -k to restore).
ok did the tests myself in the end, it appears to work with both gst-plugins-cdio and gst-plugins-cdparanoia. Added the deps, closing.
