Thanks for the reply Jiri. The short story is that with your suggestions from above I was able to solve the problem - I was missing the gstreamer "ugly" plugin. So thanks for the help! (The long version is below if you're interested...) I can't find a way to confirm 100% that I have libwebkitgtk3 installed but all libwebkit*.so files on my machine are libwebkit*-3.0.so files. So, I assume I do. Here's the output from the first command: ---------------------- typefindfunctions: application/x-id3v2: mp3, mp2, mp1, mpga, ogg, flac, tta typefindfunctions: application/x-id3v1: mp3, mp2, mp1, mpga, ogg, flac, tta typefindfunctions: application/x-apetag: mp3, ape, mpc, wv typefindfunctions: audio/mpeg: mp3, mp2, mp1, mpga ---------------------- And here's the output from the other command: ---------------------- 0:00:00.005392923 7991 0x1fc7430 INFO GST_PLUGIN_LOADING gstplugin.c:317:_priv_gst_plugin_initialize: registering 0 static plugins 0:00:00.005671288 7991 0x1fc7430 INFO GST_PLUGIN_LOADING gstplugin.c:225:gst_plugin_register_static: registered static plugin "staticelements" 0:00:00.005697133 7991 0x1fc7430 INFO GST_PLUGIN_LOADING gstplugin.c:227:gst_plugin_register_static: added static plugin "staticelements", result: 1 0:00:00.014712123 7991 0x1fc7430 INFO GST_PLUGIN_LOADING gstplugin.c:830:gst_plugin_load_file: plugin "/usr/lib/gstreamer-1.0/libgstplayback.so" loaded 0:00:00.014773359 7991 0x1fc7430 INFO GST_ELEMENT_FACTORY gstelementfactory.c:365:gst_element_factory_create: creating element "playbin" Setting pipeline to PAUSED ... 0:00:00.015977969 7991 0x1fc7430 INFO GST_ELEMENT_FACTORY gstelementfactory.c:365:gst_element_factory_create: creating element "uridecodebin" 0:00:00.016969931 7991 0x1fc7430 INFO GST_PLUGIN_LOADING gstplugin.c:830:gst_plugin_load_file: plugin "/usr/lib/gstreamer-1.0/libgstcoreelements.so" loaded 0:00:00.017016176 7991 0x1fc7430 INFO GST_ELEMENT_FACTORY gstelementfactory.c:363:gst_element_factory_create: creating element "filesrc" named "source" 0:00:00.017332710 7991 0x1fc7430 INFO GST_ELEMENT_FACTORY gstelementfactory.c:365:gst_element_factory_create: creating element "decodebin" 0:00:00.017583077 7991 0x1fc7430 INFO GST_ELEMENT_FACTORY gstelementfactory.c:363:gst_element_factory_create: creating element "typefind" named "typefind" Pipeline is PREROLLING ... 0:00:00.022362387 7991 0x205c540 INFO GST_PLUGIN_LOADING gstplugin.c:830:gst_plugin_load_file: plugin "/usr/lib/gstreamer-1.0/libgsttypefindfunctions.so" loaded 0:00:00.023240634 7991 0x205c540 WARN uridecodebin gsturidecodebin.c:880:unknown_type_cb: warning: No decoder available for type 'application/x-id3'.
