Description Sam Knuth 2006-10-02 19:07:28 UTC
Description of problem:
When you try to play an Mp3 either a) nothing happens, or b) you get an "ugly"
codec or missing plugin error. I propose instead having an error window that
explains briefly why Fedora doesn't support MP3 and providng a link here:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Multimedia/MP3

After discussion on fedora-mktg-list I'm filing this agains distribution instead
of a specific player. If it has to be a specific player I suppose rhythmbox
would be the candidate.

Comment 1 Jesse Keating 2006-10-02 19:11:15 UTC
Or rather gstreamer since gstreamer serves as the underpinning of many of the
audio/video players.  Realistically each player backend would have to be
configured, thus it would make more sense to file against each player backend.

Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2007-02-01 11:19:25 UTC
This should be filed against the players themselves. It's also the point of the
CodecBuddy work. Moving to Totem.

Comment 3 Bastien Nocera 2007-09-20 14:43:38 UTC
Fixed with the addition of codeina in F8.
