[SOLVED] Parole can't read h264 videos

RmRfSlash · 2017-02-16 13:52:40

Hi,

I installed Parole and it says it lacks the h264 codec to play my videos, but I can't find which package provides it. I tried installing x264 and restarting Parole but it didn't work. Parole offers to install the codec automatically, but when I accept the dialog window closes and nothing else happens.

How can I make Parole read h264 files ?

run pacman -Qi parole and check if you're missing some of it's optional dependencies.

Thank you. The gst-libav package was missing.

I got the same problem. Installing gst-libav solves the problem. Thanks you very much!

mswdwk,

This is a two-year old thread; whatever problem was had has likely been solved (particularly noticeable in this case as the thread is marked SOLVED). Please reread the code of conduct (link in my signature for ease).

Closing.

All the best,
