Totem ( Videos in the menu ) is complaining about needing an "MPEG-4 AAC decoder" or a Digital Video (DV) System Stream demuxer. The codecs I've been installing, or make sure are installed, are: MCC: gstreamer0.10-cdio ok MCC: gstreamer0.10-cdparanoia ok MCC: gstreamer0.10-decoders MCC: gstreamer0.10-decoders-audio MCC: gstreamer0.10-dts ok MCC: gstreamer0.10-dv ok MCC: gstreamer0.10-faad ok MCC: gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg ok MCC: gstreamer0.10-lame ok MCC: gstreamer0.10-mpeg ok MCC: gstreamer0.10-mpeg2enc ok MCC: gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad MCC: gstreamer0.10-plugins-good ok MCC: gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly ok MCC: gstreamer0.10-x264 MCC: gstreamer0.10-xvid All are ok on Mageia 2. OpenShot does not handle audio. Simply drag an mp4 file into Totem and it will complain. Same for a DV file. VLC seems to be effected also. May be related to: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7951
Summary: Several audio encoder/decoders seem to be missing or defect => Several audio encoder/decoders seem to be missing, defect or misnamed
can you run it in console, iirc there is some interesting logs from gstreamer
Created attachment 3408 [details] Totem on M3B2 run in a terminal trying to play an mp4 fie
Created attachment 3409 [details] Same exact mp4 file played with totem in a terminal in m2
Many thanks on this. I do a LOT of video editing and not being able to deal with mp4 files is a major concern. This mp4 file comes from a Sony Action Cam and is typical of many/most mp4 video files used today.
pkcon what-provides "gstreamer1.0(decoder-audio/mpeg)(mpegversion=4)" ? and if you install that pkg ? (seems is use gstreamer1.0 instead of the old one)
Totem now uses gstreamer 1.0.x so none of the plugins you mentioned work in totem. But if you install the gstreamer1.0 versions of the listed plugins everything will work again. For AAC decoding you can use gstreamer1.0-faad or gstreamer1.0-libav (same thing as gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg). (Some other applications still use gstreamer 0.10.x.)

More testing on my part over the next days/weeks. OpenShot still appears to have a audio problem. Run from a terminal I get this error: [audioresample @ 0xb5f4680] Audio sample format conversion failed. Should I take that to a separate bug? A simple way to test is import any mp4 video file with audio and edit or export. No audio. Also missing from gstreamer1.0.x are: gstreamer1.0-decoders gstreamer1.0-decoders-audio gstreamer1.0-ffmpeg gstreamer1.0-wildmidi gstreamer1.0-xvid Thanks
I suspect this is a problem with new ffmpeg (v1.1). I went back to old ffmepeg (v.1.01) and don't have this problem. I have installed: ffmpeg, lib64avcodec54, lib64avfilter3, lib64avformat54, lib64ffmpeg-devel, lib64ffmpeg-static-devel, lib64postproc52, lib64swresample0, lib64swscaler2.

Created attachment 3411 [details] "rpm -qa | grep gstreamer | sort" and totem log (ffmpeg v.1.01)
@Marcin so far no problem in totem reported here, if you found one please report it. @William: As I said there is no gstreamer1.0-ffmpeg it is called gstreamer1.0-libav instead. FFMPEG was forked to "libav" and gstreamer uses the other version. It may be better to file a new bug for openshot, could be a problem between ffmpeg and gstreamer1.0-libav and probably not related to gstreamer plugins not being installed.

I'm gonna close this one as repeated testing here of mulitimedia apps seem to work correctly.
