Re: [Banshee-List] Internet Archive - Suitable codec not found

[Michael Martin-Smucker <mlmartin13 gmail com>]

To play an mp3, you'll probably want the "bad" and "ugly" gstreamer plugins, but I doubt that's the issue, since you can play mp3s in your library just fine.  The issue is probably related to the fact that it's looking for a text/html decoder to play audio files... :-/ Seems weird.  Does this happen with all of the media that you try to play through the Internet Archive extension, or only certain files.  If it's only certain files, could you let us know which files so that others can help test this?  Either way, it sounds like this might be a bug in the software, and you might have better luck reporting it to Banshee's bug tracking system.

I am currently using Banshee 1.6.1 under Ubuntu 10.04.  I have enabled the
"Internet Archive" extension, and I am able to view the listings for various
movies, concerts, etc.  However, when I double-click an entry to play a
file, such as an mp3 file from the concert listing or a movie from the video
section, the entry does not play.  I receive the following set of messages:

"The required software to play this file is not installed. You need to
install suitable plugins to play media files. Do you want to search for a
plugin that supports the selected file?
The search will also include software which is not officially supported."


A search gives negative results and the following message:
"The requested plugin could not be found
The requested plugins are:
text/html decoder."

What decoder am I missing?  Normal mp3 files play just fine, and I have the
gstreamer GOOD set installed.  Is there another file I should install within
synaptic?
