[SOLVED]Installation of common codecs

Nixxx · 2009-10-25 15:08:01

Hi All. I'm wondering why pacman -S gstreamer0.10-{{bad,good,ugly,base}{,-plugins},-ffmpeg} from ArchWiki page doesn't work and I have to install all gstreamer codecs manually?

Codecs packs are not officially supported any more in the repos. Try installing codecs from the AUR.

small typo in the wikipage:

pacman -S gstreamer0.10-{{bad,good,ugly,base}{,-plugins},-ffmpeg}

should be:

pacman -S gstreamer0.10-{{bad,good,ugly,base}{,-plugins},ffmpeg}

You can simply install the whole group:

pacman -S gstreamer0.10-plugins

@stefanwilkens I must be blind. THNX. @bernarcher gstreamer whitch supports almost all formats is in repo so i don't know what are you talking about: "codecs package is out-of-date and no longer needed!"

That's what I did when I installed them on my mother's computer .

When I installed and set up my computer, the wiki didn't have:

pacman -S gstreamer0.10-{{bad,good,ugly,base}{,-plugins},ffmpeg}

I can't remember exactly what commands it gave then, but it's different now.
It works either way .
