Install XFCE's XMMS Plugin 2. Make shure audacious is installed 3. Try to add the plugin to the panel Actual results: Message "Cannot find any supported media player.

(In reply to comment #0) > But when trying to add the plugin to the panel a message "Cannot find any > supported media player. You have to install at least one player first." is shown As I just realized you will need to install audacious-devel, otherwise xmms-plugin wont find audacious. This is ether a bug in audacious packaging or in the plugin's code. I'll have to investigate this further, thanks for the report.
You don't need to install audacious-devel: $ cd /usr/lib $ sudo ln -s libaudacious.so.4 libaudacious.so libaudacious is correctly provided by the devel package, so the bug is in the panel. The plugin needs to look for the versioned lib. BTW: I think I just found a memory leak in xfce4-xmms-plugin. :(

Audacious >= 1.3 support is broken and now even XMMS is broken to. :( This code is horribly outdated, I will try to fix XMMS or otherwise orphan this package. For audacious it's not needed any longer since it ships with it's own tray icon in the Xfce panel.
Nice to see I'm not the only sucker to fall for this one. I'll help if I can, just point the way.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. 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 prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 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. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
