[SOLVED] Clementine: equalizer-nbands error

Fellow archers,

I am unable to play any music in Clementine. When I press play I just get the following message:

GStreamer could not create the element: equalizer-nbands. Please make sure that you have installed all necessary GStreamer plugins (e.g. OGG and MP3)

This happens both with version 1.0.1-1 and today's git. Does anyone recognize the error and know how to fix it?

EDIT: wrong subforum! Moderators please help.

Do you have the plugins installed?

Re: [SOLVED] Clementine: equalizer-nbands error

'pacman -Qqs gstreamer' would be easier to read ;P

Try reinstalling gstreamer0.10-good; when I remove this package, I get a similar error, but it mentions 'autoaudiosink' instead of 'equalizer-nbands'.

Edot: Actually, equalizer-nbands seem to be part of gstreamer0.10-good-plugins, so you might want to reinstall / redownload this package.

Moving to the right sub-forum (Multimedia and Games).

Re: [SOLVED] Clementine: equalizer-nbands error

Reinstalling the packages didn't help but rebuilding the gstreamer registry did:

rm -f ~/.gstreamer-0.10/registry.x86_64.bin

Now it works. Updating status to fixed.
