"Gstreamer element input-selector" plugin confusion
Last modified: 2009-06-30 17:41:24 EDT
Created attachment 348505 [details] Screenshot showing "kerneloops needs plugin" Description of problem: Each time I start rhythmbox and start playing a clip, I get a popup error indicating a missing plugin: "XXXX requires an addition plugin", where XXXX is a "random" process (e.g., kerneloops, pidgin, ...) No music.... When I clear the error by selecting "close", the clip immediately pauses. Pressing "play" a second time starts the music. This only occurs on the first "play" of a session. Restarting rhythmbox repeats this. I attach 2 different screenshots showing the error popup. When this happens Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhythmbox-0.12.2-1.fc12.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-farsight-0.12.11-1.fc12.x86_64 gstreamer-0.10.23-2.fc12.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.23-1.fc12.x86_64 gstreamer-tools-0.10.23-2.fc12.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-flumpegdemux-0.10.15-6.fc11.x86_64 gstreamer-python-0.10.15-1.fc12.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.15-1.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

What's the output of "ps aux" when this happens? I'd like to see what arguments are passed to the helper.
I get this too on F11, always happens after rb start the first time I hit play. This is how the helper is called in that case: /usr/libexec/gst-install-plugins-helper --transient-for=60817442 gstreamer|0.10|rhythmbox|GStreamer element input-selector|element-input-selector
Hmm, actually my case is a bit different, it's always saying "<song name> requires additional plugin" and the plugin is always gstreamer input selector. Searching for it doesn't succeed but it does play the song ok.
$ gst-inspect input-selector Factory Details: Long name: Input selector Class: Generic Description: N-to-1 input stream selectoring <snip> Binary package: gst-plugins-bad rpmfusion rpm Origin URL: http://rpmfusion.org/ Urgh! Rhythmbox really shouldn't require a plugin from gst-plugins-bad. I'll try to fix this. Tom, could you clone the bug against gnome-packagekit? The "kerneloops needs this" is bogus, and a bug in GPK.
