When I try to import ogg files into rhythmbox, it tells me "There is no plugin installed to handle Ogg file." I have the gstreamer ogg plugin installed though. BTW I had to enter gconf and change default sink and src to alsa manually after installing gstreamer-0.8.0 which does not need oss like 0.6.4 did or rhythmbox would not work at all (I prefer alsao over oss). Do you want a seperate bug report for that? My setup: $ equery list ".*gst.*" Searching for package '.*gst.*' in all categories among: * installed packages [I--] [ ~] media-libs/gstreamer-0.8.0 (0.8) [I--] [ ~] media-libs/gst-plugins-0.8.0-r1 (0.8) [I--] [ ~] media-plugins/gst-plugins-vorbis-0.8.0 (0.8) [I--] [ ~] media-plugins/gst-plugins-alsa-0.8.0 (0.8) [I--] [ ~] media-plugins/gst-plugins-mad-0.8.0 (0.8) [I--] [ ~] media-plugins/gst-plugins-gnomevfs-0.8.0 (0.8) [I--] [ ~] media-plugins/gst-plugins-xvideo-0.8.0 (0.8) $ equery list ".*rhythm.*" Searching for package '.*rhythm.*' in all categories among: * installed packages [I--] [ ~] media-sound/rhythmbox-0.8.0 (0) $ equery uses rhythmbox [ Colour Code : set unset ] [ Legend : (U) Col 1 - Current USE flags ] [ : (I) Col 2 - Installed With USE flags ] U I [ Found these USE variables in : media-sound/rhythmbox-0.8.0 ] + + oggvorbis : Adds support for the OggVorbis audio encoding - - xine : Use Xine backend - - flac : Adds support for the flac audio codec - - faad : unknown + + mad : Adds support for mad (high-quality mp3 decoder library and cli frontend) - - pda : Adds support for portable devices. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
To play ogg files you also need media-plugins/gst-plugins-ogg. (In addition to media-plugins/gst-plugins-vorbis). You can use to following to query the plugins: gst-inspect oggdemux gst-inspect vorbisdec Test out gstreamer has the ability to play ogg files from the commandline: gst-launch filesrc location=my.ogg ! spider ! alsasink device="hw:0" Where my.ogg is the path to an ogg file on your computer. If you use esd, instead: gst-launch filesrc location=my.ogg ! spider ! esdsink
Cool thanks. I created Bug #48323 since gst-plugins-ogg wasn't a dependency for rhythmbox.
See Bug #48323
