Can't reproduce music

[Alberto Verdoja]

Hi, I've installed Foobnix from yout PPA, when I try to play a song it gives me the following error:

albi@albi-desktop:~$ foobnix

1) Try
sudo pacman -S gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-ugly-plugins

2) Сheck, is python-notify package installed.

Thank for the answer!
I use Bodhi Linux, Ubuntu with E17.
If I type apt-get install python-notify gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly, results all installed at the most updated version.
Other tips? :D

Here the version of the packages.

[Dmitry-Kogura (dmitry-kogura)]

This looks like as problem with gstreamer codecs. Check also gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-base packages.
Try to play other gstreamer based players (for example Totem). What result?
Is this problem with any file format?

[Alberto Verdoja (nerduma)]

I've tried to use gnome-mplayer. With mp3 and ogg it reads all without problem, Foobnix give errors for both.

Mplayer doesn't use gstreamer codecs. Try Totem

[Alberto Verdoja (nerduma)]

ok, I've tried with Totem
Installed totem it doesn't reproduce audio, after the installation of gstreamer-tool and gstreamer0.10-alsa , totem works good (better than gnome-mplayer, I see :D ).
Foobnix seems to work now, thank you! :D
Maybe Foobnix needs as dependencies this 2 packages...

[Dmitry-Kogura (dmitry-kogura)]

gstreamer0.10-alsa is in dependences yet. It is strange that the package hasn't been installed automatically.
gstreamer-tools doesn' not affect on playing (you can try to remove the package and check). If I'm wrong, please let me know.

[Alberto Verdoja (nerduma)]

Strange, but Bodhi Linux use a strange hierarchy on repository, so maybe it haven't installed.
Thanks for the support, everything goes ok, now :D
