gstreamer "MS GSM decoder", where is it?

trusktr · 2010-09-04 17:11:09

I get this error when trying to play some WAV files:

Additional gstreamer plugins are required to play this file: MS GSM decoder

I've installed all of the gstreamer plugin packages. Any ideas?

What exactly are you trying to play? MS looks like it's Microsoft ...

You probably need libgsm, it's in AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=6964
Then you need to recompile whatever gstreamer package has the libgsm plugin, which a quick google indicates is gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins

Some distros have gstreamer-gsm which has libgstgsm.so, but seems that Arch doesn't.

Interesting, thanks for that tidbit Karol.

Hey Gusar, do I use pacman to re-install gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins after i get libgsm or do I have to do it manually?

Try gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg.

You'll need to compile a new package. Because the pre-compiled package does not contain the file karol mentioned, only a recompile will produce it. So fetch the PKGBUILD for gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins and do a makepkg.

I already have ffmpeg skottish, but thanks!

I guess i might have to recompile. I filed a feature request for it to be included for all Archers...
