Description Reinout van Schouwen 2012-03-10 22:18:33 CET
Description of problem:

On the Politiek24 web site there is a video stream in wmv format that the Totem plugin can show.
However in a default Mageia setup (with tainted packages added) this doesn't work.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.10.23

How reproducible:
Have seen this once

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://nos.nl/nieuws/live/politiek24/wmv/
2. Observe that the Totem plug-in offers to search for MMSH provider
3. Accept the offer

Actual results: 
Nothing happens

Expected results:
gstreamer0.10-mms is installed [or should be installed by default]

I suppose so, but it doesn't say packagekit as far as I recall.
Comment 3 Manuel Hiebel 2012-03-10 22:53:22 CET
ok, to be sure can you make a screenshot ?

I will mail the dev mailing to ask if we can fix this feature since codeina is deprecated.

Summary: Offers to search for MMSH package but nothing happens => packagekit cannot install suggested gstreamer plugin asked by totem
Source RPM: gstreamer0.10-mms => packagekit

I've add mandriva patch on this issue, but I don't know if it works.

[manu@vosdook ~]$ totem
Gtk-DEBUG: Connecting to session manager
** Message: Missing plugin: gstreamer|0.10|totem|Décodeur XVID MPEG-4|decoder-video/x-xvid (Décodeur XVID MPEG-4)

What is the output of following command?

/usr/sbin/update-alternatives --display gst-install-plugins-helper

[manu@vosdook ~]$ /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --display gst-install-plugins-helper
No alternatives for gst-install-plugins-helper.
Comment 9 Dave Hodgins 2012-03-16 04:44:49 CET
Try installing packagekit-gstreamer-plugin

Perhaps that should be added as a suggests on totem.

a little better :)

** Message: Missing plugin: gstreamer|0.10|totem|Décodeur audio/midi|decoder-audio/midi (Décodeur audio/midi)
** Message: PackageKit: xid = 23068756
** Message: PackageKit: Codec nice name: Décodeur audio/midi
** Message: PackageKit: structure: gstreamer0.10(decoder-audio/midi)()(64bit)
** Message: PackageKit: Did not install codec: failed to find codec
** Message: No installation candidate for missing plugins found.

If I install gstreamer0.10-wildmidi with urpmi it works
Comment 11 Funda Wang 2012-03-17 04:42:51 CET
Well, it is another problem, gstreamer0.10-wildmidi does not provide gstreamer0.10(decoder-audio/midi).

Maybe you should report another bug on gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
