Do you have gstreamer0.10-good-plugins installed?

I think you need to install unrar and unzip for that. Also if you didn't intall mate-extra you probably need engrampa archive manager.

and the music file not running when the mouse hover on music icon ,
So please what the caja extension to solve that  ,

I'd like to know how to get this one working aswell

Re: [SOLVED] caja extension

With issues like these, it's best to check if you have the optional dependencies installed. zip and rar archives are usually handled by unzip and unrar packages. https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … /engrampa/ mentions them as optional dependencies so ugjka is probably right.

caja says only gstreamer0.10-good-plugins are needed for automatic media playback when mouseover, so unless you want to install some other gstreamer plugins and see if it works, I'm out of ideas. Maybe it's a sound issue - the music is being played, but you don't hear it?

Re: [SOLVED] caja extension

thanks guys , the problem was fixed by installing gstreamer0.10-ugly-plugins package , actually installing all gstreamer packages , reinstalling unrar and unzip packages and installing unrar-free package
