Details

Muine does not play mp3 files. Please note that all gst-mp3 stuff are installed and rhythmbox and nautilus can play the file fine. Muine just spits that:

(muine:2425): GStreamer-WARNING **: pushing data on non-negotiated pad mad0:src, not allowed.

and then says that there are no codecs installed for it. Are you sure you have gst-sharp somewhere?

Also, Muine abruptly exits when you click on its "about" menu.
   morgana.mp3 (200 KiB)

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  GStreamer 0.10 plays this file fine, as long as you install the -good plugin along with the -mad plugin.

apparently rhythmbox crashes too on that one mp3 file. Nautilus does play it though, and vlc/real player don't have a problem either. It seems that gstreamer has. I tried to upload the mp3 file, but i was not able to...

I wonder how muine plays my MP3 files I downloaded from soulseek then...
Comment by Eugenia Loli-Queru (Eugenia) - Sunday, 02 October 2005, 23:35 GMT
As I said, it does play some mp3s, but not others. It seems that gstreamer has the problem, it is unable to play some mp3s (and so is Rhythmbox). This mp3 was encoded by the Streamgrabber/tuner app under Arch Linux.

Is there a limit on the MBs to upload? This mp3 that has the problem is 4 MBs.
Comment by Jan de Groot (JGC) - Monday, 03 October 2005, 07:27 GMT
if you could supply the first 200KB of the offended file, then it's fine also. MP3s contain a header and the rest is data streaming only.
Comment by Eugenia Loli-Queru (Eugenia) - Monday, 03 October 2005, 07:29 GMT
If Arch comes with a file-splitting tool, please give me a sample syntax on how to use it, so I can cut-off the file and upload it here.
Comment by Eugenia Loli-Queru (Eugenia) - Monday, 03 October 2005, 16:56 GMT
ok, attachment done, a 200kb mp3 is uploaded, please check with your muine and rhythmbox.
Comment by Eugenia Loli-Queru (Eugenia) - Wednesday, 05 October 2005, 05:27 GMT
Ok, there are more bugs with both .ogg and .mp3. It seems that the new gstreamer is completely b0rked. BOTH Rhythmbox and Muine will CHOP both ogg and mp3 songs during playback. This didn't used to happen, so I am guessing is a new bug.

Seems it is known upstream:

Comment by Eugenia Loli-Queru (Eugenia) - Wednesday, 05 October 2005, 23:07 GMT
I wonder if the problem is the fact that the stream was 96kbps but the encoding happened at 128kpbs (I think). Just a wild guess.
Comment by Jan de Groot (JGC) - Wednesday, 02 November 2005, 10:09 GMT
The file isn't the problem, it's the playbin thing that does wrong things. When manually setting up sinks and pipes the file plays fine. Totem and Rhythmbox use playbin to find out how to play files however.
Comment by Eugenia Loli-Queru (Eugenia) - Wednesday, 02 November 2005, 10:25 GMT
Thanks for the investigation. When can we expect a fixed playbin?
Comment by Jan de Groot (JGC) - Wednesday, 02 November 2005, 21:32 GMT
I guess when GNOME 2.14 is released with GStreamer 0.10. I haven't seen any activity in the upstream bugreport in the last month.
Comment by Eugenia Loli-Queru (Eugenia) - Friday, 04 November 2005, 09:26 GMT
Jan, how do you explain the fact that Nautilus also plays that file without a problem? When I put the mouse cursor on top of the mp3 on Nautilus, it plays it without any hickups. Nautilus also uses Gstreamer, right?
Comment by Jan de Groot (JGC) - Friday, 04 November 2005, 09:44 GMT
Could be that nautilus uses something else than playbin. Whenever I construct the pipes by hand on the commandline, or even when linking gnomevfssrc to decodebin to osssink, the file plays fine. The playbin item is something that will find out how to get input from the file, how to process it and where to put the result. The playbin sink is buggy in doing this, which results in the bad warnings and the crashes you get.

Nautilus uses mpg321 to play on mouse-over...
Comment by Yi Qiang (yi) - Thursday, 09 February 2006, 06:31 GMT
This bug should be closed by now. Muine is using playbin and the about crash is fixed in 0.8.4
