Bug 20988

Did any other program generate sound successfully before you installed phonon4qt5-gstreamer ?

CC: (none) => fri

Well, I did not test other programs before..but for instance sound on internet was working. 
I forgot to say (sorry about that..) that I have installed MUSIQUE in the GNOME desktop, so that all the .rpm has to install all the necessary phonon libraries, and probably missed this one.

Confirm, after a new instalment of Mageia 6 with LXQT. No sound from MUSIQUE until I installed phonon4qt5-gstreamer (the computer has little disk space, I did not install any other music play software. But the sound on internet was working).

Version: Cauldron => 6

Will be done in some time.

A very small update has been passed through, to check if it works:

Just install musique (without phonon4qt5-gstreamer being preinstalled, uninstall it if it is), and then check if it is installed alongside it. Check the sound.

The above assignment might have been unnecessary...I will leave it there in case it is necessary.

Tried (x64). Removed musique and phonon4qt-gstreamer. Renistalled musique from
standard repo (no backportor or testing etc.  activated). The version number is 1.5, but when I click to install, it reports 1.5.1, with bad signature. So I guessed it was the updated version. Anyway, this does not work, I have to install phonon4qt5-gstreamer separately to have sound, just as before.

Its working on my side. Lets check the steps :

1) urpme phonon4qt5-gstreamer (uninstall phonon4qt5-gstreamer)
2) urpme musique (uninstall musique)
3) urpmi musique (mga6 or cauldron)
4) check if it prompts for download of phonon4qt5-gstreamer, if yes, success
5) play music

However, I tried it on cauldron. Shouldn't make a difference since it does install phonon4 component.

You might have to use the updates-testing version for this.

To Comment 8: that was exactly what I did.
To Comment 9: OK, enabling updates-testing it worked. I tested only the 64 bit version.

MGA5-32 on Asus A6000VM MATE
At installation draws in phonon4qt5-gstreamer, and plays music.

Mageia 6 on x86_64

Installed musique and failed to play anything.

Ran the update and tried again.
Still no luck on any selection.

This is exactly what was posted at the earlier attempt.

Now it plays - so the first attempt did not actually install the phonon gstreamer.  ??
The help website is still not accessible.
However, the main problem seems to be fixed.

Confirming M6/64 impirically.

From normal repositories:
 $ urpmq -d musique | grep ^phono
 phonon-gstreamer|phonon-vlc
 phonon4qt5

From updates_testing:
 $ urpmq -d musique | grep ^phono
 phonon-gstreamer|phonon-vlc
 phonon-gstreamer-common
 phonon4qt5
 phonon4qt5-gstreamer

shows that the update adds 'phonon4qt5-gstreamer' (+ 'phonon-gstreamer-common') as dependancies.

Devising an advisory, taking SRPM from the update RPMs link.
