Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-app-install

Just tried this after realising that the GStreamer musepack decoder plugin is not installed:

  totem kantate.mpc

The codec installer comes up, but doesn't find the appropriate package (gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad).

This is the output I get in the terminal:

tpm@zingle:~$ totem kantate.mpc
** Message: don't know how to handle audio/x-musepack
** Message: Error: You do not have a decoder installed to handle this file. You might need to install the necessary plugins.
gstplaybasebin.c(2203): prepare_output (): /play

** Message: Missing plugin: gstreamer.net|0.10|totem|Musepack (MPC) decoder|decoder-audio/x-musepack (Musepack (MPC) decoder)

** (gnome-codec-install:27891): WARNING **: return value of custom widget handler was not a GtkWidget
additional codec installation declined

** Message: don't know how to handle audio/x-musepack
** Message: Error: You do not have a decoder installed to handle this file. You might need to install the necessary plugins.
gstplaybasebin.c(2203): prepare_output (): /play

Note the '** (gnome-codec-install:27891): WARNING **: return value of custom widget handler was not a GtkWidget
additional codec installation declined' which is not from totem.

This is with an up-to-date gutsy as per 01-08-2007 on amd64.

Yes, I have (in /etc/apt/sources.list). Also, sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad worked immediately.

(On a sidenote: even if I hadn't enabled it, I'd still expect the codec installer to find it, since it explicitly says that it will also search repositories that are not supported by Ubuntu in the codec install dialog)

What happens if you execute the following command:

gnome-codec-install "streamer.net|0.10|totem|Musepack (MPC) decoder|decoder-audio/x-musepack (Musepack (MPC) decoder)"

and window shows no result and a in this context nonsensical message in the bottom pane saying: "There is no matching application available.

Thanks for your bugreport.

I can reproduce this here and it will be fixed with 0.4.6 (to be uploaded when the archive is unfrozen).

Thanks,
