Description Edward d'Auvergne 2011-06-20 16:21:57 CEST

Description of problem:

The problem looks the same as in https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748 with the same sound failure dialog.  I have gnash-firefox-plugin installed, the tainted repositories turned on, and all *faad* rpms installed, but still the gnash plugin will not play sound.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install 64-bit Mageia.
2.  Install firefox, gnash-firefox-plugin, faad2, lib64faad2_2.
3.  Go to youtube and watch a random video.

Here are some Mageia forum links to the same problem, unfortunately only in French and with no solutions:

I think you'll need the ffmpeg packages from the Tainted repo for AAC to work (just install ffmpeg from Tainted and it'll pull its libs as requires from Tainted too).

To Edward dAuvergne: did comment #2 solve your problem (installing ffmpeg from the Tainted media, so that it has AAC decoding support?

I'm pretty sure that I had ffmpeg, faad, faac, and many other codecs installed prior to this (/usr/bin/ffmpeg was present).  I would like to test this again, but I now have Adobe Flash installed due to this bug.  The only problem is, I can't work out how to switch back to Gnash after setting this up.

urpmi gnash-firefox-plugin
will reinstall it, but will require the removal of
flash-player-plugin.

Either the command 'urpmi gnash-firefox-plugin' or a later installation of ffmpeg appears to have fixed the problem.  Maybe ffmpeg should be made as a dependency of gnash-firefox-plugin, but only installed if the tainted repositories are added.  Is that possible?  Anyway, please close this bug.
