[SOLVED] media problems

[micah1104]

whenever I try playing media off of my iphone when I plug it in to rhythmbox, it says:

Music Player requires a additional plugin to decode this file
The following plugin is required:
MPEG-4 AAC decoder
Do you want to search for this now?

When I click Search, it says:

Failed to search for plugin
Could not find plugin in any configured software source

When I try to start playing the file, it gives me:

Couldn't start playback
Problem occurred without error being set. This is a bug in Rhythmbox or GStreamer.

Is there anybody that has a fix for this?

TIA

Micah

From

Fedora 13 Update: rhythmbox-0.12.8-1.fc13

su -c 'yum update rhythmbox'

might have to take out the ' between yum and rhythymbox.

It looks like you haven't installed RPMFusion repository. All those plugins are available there only.
Follow instructions from here to install RPMFusion.

After repository installation, plugin iphone again. There won't be any plugin installation problem.

That link just redirects to my thread, but I know how to find how to do it, so I did... and when I told it to search THIS time, it asked if I wanted to install gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.19-1.fc13, I said yes, typed root password, then asked if I trusted the keys, I said yes, and typed root password again and it gives me:

How did you install RPMFusion repository? Which version of Fedora are you using?

That link just redirects to my thread

Corrected it.

From the terminal, try

su -
yum clean all
yum update
yum install gstreamer-plugins-bad

I am running Fedora 13, and I installed RPMFusion from the same website you posted, I tried the CLI method, and the .rpm method, but neither worked...

[micah1104]

From the terminal, try

su -
yum clean all
yum update
yum install gstreamer-plugins-bad

I think that fixed it, I was able to play a m4a file, and I will try some off my iphone later when I have a chance to...

To cover as many bases as possible, you'll also want gstreamer-ffmpeg and gstreamer-plugins-ugly from rpmfusion. That plus the bad plugins before should allow you to play almost anything you come across. (At least for gstreamer based media players.)
