Description William Kenney 2013-01-18 23:12:37 CET
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.

Comment 4 William Kenney 2013-01-19 01:22:07 CET
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.
Comment 5 Manuel Hiebel 2013-01-19 01:35:56 CET
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)
Comment 6 Christiaan Welvaart 2013-01-19 05:06:35 CET
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.)

Yes, that helped a lot. Totem now plays mp4 video/audio. 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.

"rpm -qa | grep gstreamer | sort" and totem log (ffmpeg v.1.01)
Comment 10 Christiaan Welvaart 2013-01-19 15:17:27 CET
@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.
