gstreamer broken?

it seems there is something wrong with gstreamer. totem and banshee won't play any more... each time i tried to open a file in totem or banshee, it says the following:

Code: 
Internal GStreamer error: negotiation problem.  Please file a bug at [url]http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GStreamer[/url].

if i start totem in an x terminal, the error message is like this:

Code: 
gsturidecodebin.c(1571): setup_source (): /GstPlayBin2:play/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0:
Can't link source to decoder element

So there might be something wrong with gstreamer on my machine? It's been broken for couple of weeks...

Nobody reported similar problem on freebsd-gnome mailling list.
I recompiled all gstreamer ports:
Code: 
sudo portmaster "gstreamer*"
after a csup ... but no luck here.
 
Try rebuilding gstreamer (gstreamer-0.10.26) recursively, using [cmd=]portmaster -Rr gstreamer-0.10.26[/cmd].
 
  • Thanks
Reactions: pat
still no luck...

i rebuilt gstreamer recursively but it didn't work.
gstreamer doesn't play anything...
but mplayer and vlc work well. it is very weird...
anyway thanks for your suggestion!
 
It did it

As wisely advised by DD, gstreamer and deps got recompiled recursively and everything is back to normal state now: totem and rhythmbox play, files get thumnailed.
I'll have to remember to be more zealous than /usr/ports/UPDATING states.
Thanks again DD :*
 
well...

i'll give it another try.
maybe i did something wrong while rebuilding gstreamer.
 
it does not work...

recursive rebuilding did not work...

i rebuilt gstreamer recursively, but it did not work...
maybe there is something wrong with my system...
 
Same here with 8.0-RELEASE-p2 i386 and latest ports, rebuilding doesn't help.

gst-typefind-0.10 core dumps, maybe it has something to do with this:
Code: 
ERROR:gst-typefind.c:73:typefind_file: assertion failed: (GST_IS_ELEMENT (source))
Abort trap: 6 (core dumped)
Basic gst-launch command fails too:
Code: 
gst-launch filesrc location=some.mp3 ! mad ! osssink
ERROR: pipeline could not be constructed: no element "filesrc".

The Test button in gstreamer-properties dialog does play sound.
 
Looks like coreelements isn't listed by gst-inspect, though /usr/local/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstcoreelements.* exist.
 
I think something like this fixed it

Code: 
cd /var/db/pkg && pkg_delete -f gstreamer-*
cd /usr/ports/multimedia/gstreamer && make install clean
cd /usr/ports/multimedia/gstreamer-plugins && make install clean
 
nothing help. try all
Code: 
portmaster -Rr gstreamer-0.10.26
and
Code: 
cd /var/db/pkg && pkg_delete -f gstreamer-*
cd /usr/ports/multimedia/gstreamer && make install clean
cd /usr/ports/multimedia/gstreamer-plugins && make install clean

but have
Code: 
** (totem:82876): WARNING **: can't find typefind element, decodebin will not work

(totem:82876): GStreamer-WARNING **: Element decodebin21 has an ALWAYS template sink, but no pad of the same name

gsturidecodebin.c(1571): setup_source (): /GstPlayBin2:play/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0:
Can't link source to decoder element

any idea? :(
 
arachnid: gst-inspect|grep coreelements

If the coreelements are missing, try:

Code: 
cd /var/db/pkg && pkg_delete -f gstreamer-*
cd /usr/ports/multimedia/gstreamer && make install clean

then do

gst-inspect |grep coreelements

yet again.

if you've got the coreelements now (as I did) the core gst is fixed. If not, then your problem is somehow different from mine.

After this you can make install clean /usr/ports/multimedia/gstreamer-plugins-{good,bad,ugly} one by one and gst-inspect after every step to check if the necessary coreelements disappear.
