Description Emmanuele Bassi 2016-11-21 23:15:55 UTC

Description of problem:

New install of Fedora 25, straight from the Live USB key.

With gstreamer1 and gstreamer1-plugins-base from fedora-updates — 1.10.0-1.fc25 — I cannot use Totem with any media file.


How reproducible: Always reproducible.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Videos/totem (both from the Shell and from the terminal)
2. Be greeted by a message dialog that says to check the installation because of missing basic plugins
3. [on the terminal] See the following warning messages:

** (totem:7673): WARNING **: Element 'playbin' is missing, verify your installation

** (totem:7673): WARNING **: Element 'scaletempo' is missing, verify your installation

** (totem:7673): WARNING **: Element 'autoaudiosink' is missing, verify your installation

(totem:7673): Gtk-WARNING **: A floating object was finalized. This means that someone
called g_object_unref() on an object that had only a floating
reference; the initial floating reference is not owned by anyone
and must be removed with g_object_ref_sink().

Additional info:

Disabling the fedora-updates repository, and downgrading gstreamer1 and gstreamer1-plugins-base to 1.9.2-3.fc25, I can play audio and video files.

Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2016-11-22 01:36:28 UTC

My guess is that GStreamer registry cache is broken.

Try running gst-inspect-1.0 on each of those plugins to start with. They won't be there.

Remove ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/registry.x86_64.bin (or move it aside) and try again and either it's going to work, or you'll why there are errors.

FWIW, works fine with:
gstreamer1-1.10.0-1.fc25.x86_64
gstreamer1-plugins-base-1.10.0-1.fc25.x86_64
totem-3.22.0-1.fc25.x86_64
for me.

Comment 2 Emmanuele Bassi 2016-11-22 12:22:30 UTC

Re-installing gstreamer1 and plugins from fedora-updates works again, so this seems to be an issue for new installations from a pre-release compose.

I guess the issue can be closed.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2017-11-16 19:21:21 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '25'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2017-12-12 10:28:06 UTC

Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
