Hi
I upgraded to Gnome 46 a few hours ago, my system is fully updated.
Since the upgrade, all gstreamer apps stopped working.
Parole player does not play any video, Pitivi video editor and Totem video player do not open,
Strawberry music player does not play anything and sometimes it crashes.
I also get an error when running the following command in the terminal:
$ gst-discoverer-1.0 https://stream.radioparadise.com/flacm
Analyzing https://stream.radioparadise.com/flacm
Done discovering https://stream.radioparadise.com/flacm
An error was encountered while discovering the file
Could not determine type of stream.There is a bug report on the bug tracker of Strawberry:
https://github.com/strawberrymusicplaye … ssues/1410
Here is a comment from the develeoper Jonas:
This crash looks glib/pcre related, I suggest to report this to Arch.
Does this also crash?
gst-discoverer-1.0 https://stream.radioparadise.com/flacm
Strawberry works as expected on another computer running fully updated Arch + KDE Plasma 6.
The error with Totem:
$ totem
** (totem:5721): WARNING **: 08:26:17.967: Element 'gtkglsink' is missing, verify your installationThe errors with Pitivi:

Could not determine type of stream.Can anyone else confirm problems with gstreamer apps on Gnome 46?
Is there a solution/workaround?
Thanks for reading.

Is your repo mirror up to date with pipewire 1.0.4-2 and gstreamer 24.1-2?
Strawberry working fine here on up to date system with gnome 46.0.

I have just noticed that the problems with Gstreamer apps do not occur with another user account.
I have disabled all Gnome Shell extensions in the affected user account, but the problems persist.
Any idea on what is going on?

This worked for me. Looks like wireplumber config change.

Sound works with all user accounts, just the Gstreamer apps are broken with the main user account.
I have deleted ~/.local/state/wireplumber and then rebooted anyway, but the bug persists.

Do `rm -rf ~/.local/state/wireplumber` then reboot, then re-select your sound devices, e.g via GNOME sound settings.
If that fixes it then not related to GNOME update but rather the update of wireplumber from 0.4.17-1->0.5.0-1 which occurred a couple of days before. Many of us had similar issues.

Sorry, my previous comment is incorrect. I have deleted ~/.local/state/wireplumber, not ~/.config/wireplumber/.
I'm going to edit and correct my previous comment.

Solved by deleting ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/ folder. \o/
