Ticket #1598 (Closed: fixed)

the most probable cause is that you don't have appropriate gstreamer plugins installed.

let's take a look at mp3 support first. do you have media-plugins/gst-plugins-mad installed? if so, what version?

also, what does the following say:

gst-inspect-0.8 | grep mad

and if you try the following with an mp3 file, does it play?

gst-launch-0.8 filesrc location=/foo/bar.mp3 ! mad ! alsasink

media-plugins/gst-plugins-mad is installed, version: 0.8.10-r1

# gst-inspect-0.8 | grep mad
output:
mad: mad: mad mp3 decoder
mad: id3demux: id3 tag extractor
mad: id3mux: id3 muxer
mad: id3tag: id3 tag extractor
mad: id3demuxbin: ID3-demux bin

gst-launch-0.8 filesrc location=/foo/bar.mp3 ! mad ! osssink
I tried it with osssink, i use oss only. It works.

hm...

and how does your gLiveSupport config file look like? it should be in /usr/etc/gLiveSupport.xml. I'm especially interested in the following section:

    <outputPlayer>
        <audioPlayer>
            <gstreamerPlayer audioDevice = "plughw:0,0" />
        </audioPlayer>
    </outputPlayer>
    <cuePlayer>
        <audioPlayer>
            <gstreamerPlayer audioDevice = "plughw:0,0" />
        </audioPlayer>
    </cuePlayer>

In my /usr/etc/gLiveSupport.xml:

    <outputPlayer>
        <audioPlayer>
            <gstreamerPlayer audioDevice = "/dev/dsp" />
        </audioPlayer>
    </outputPlayer>
    <cuePlayer>
        <audioPlayer>
            <gstreamerPlayer audioDevice = "/dev/dsp" />
        </audioPlayer>
    </cuePlayer>

sorry it was me.

this looks OK.

when you're trying to play an mp3 file from gLiveSupport, what does it do?

is anything else working on /dev/dsp at that time?

In gLiveSupport mp3 playing works good. But it don't play ogg files and playlists. No there isn't any other application uses /dev/dsp.

so, mp3 playing works, but it doesn't work with playlists having only mp3 files?

say, if you have a playlist with a single mp3 file in it?

if it doesn't play, what does it say?

Yes mp3 playing works, but doesn't work with playlists having only mp3 files.

If i want to play a playlist with only an mp3 file, it doesn't play, and sais:

can't open URL file:///usr/tmp/webStorageClient58d2f4ffa534df0b-1948325143.smil

But this file is exists on the given path.

did you have gstreamer emerged before emerging livesupport?

what does the following say?

gst-inspect-0.8 | grep smil

Yes i did.

gst-inspect-0.8 | grep smil

says:

typefindfunctions: application/smil: smil

ok, here's the problem: the gstreamer element handling SMIL content is missing. the output should have been:

minimalaudiosmil:  minimalaudiosmil: MinimalAudioSmil
typefindfunctions: application/smil: smil

hm. is there a file called liblivesupport_minimalaudiosmil.so in your livesupport package? say, what does the following say:

equery files | grep minimalaudiosmil

or has such a file been installed anywhere on your system?

sorry, I meant:

equery files livesupport | grep minimalaudiosmil

Yes i have a liblivesupport_minimalaudiosmil.so in my /usr/lib. I tried to reinstall gstreamer and gstreamer-plugins with the livesupport ebuild, by unmergeing the gstreamer packages, and emergeing the livesupport, but it doesn't work. Now

gst-inspect-0.8 | grep smil

says nothing.

Ok.

I have the key. The next 2 command:

cp /usr/lib/liblive* /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8/
gst-register-0.8

solved my problem.

Thanks for help.
