Gstreamer fails to load in Xfburn

[Neil Edmond]

Whenever I open Xfburn, before the app window ever opens, I get a warning box:

Code: Select all

Failed to initialize gstreamer transcoder: An error occurred setting gstreamer up for transcoding
	(falling back to basic implementation)

Why is this? I want to burn an audio CD from some MP3 files, and Xfburn can't to that without gstreamer.

Hi Neil,

if you check the dependencies of xfburn ("depends xfburn") you see that gstreaer is a dependency of xfburn. There is a move from gstreamer0.10 to gstreamer1.0, and both versions are there in the repos, maybe this is somehow related. I wouldn't care too much as long as stuff works - it seems more like a debug message than an error per se.

It will burn disks as-is, but it cannot do the mp3 to audio cd conversion. Which is what I was trying to do today. Not something I do often, but still, it should be a rather simple task.

Oh I got you now, sorry. I thought you only asked about the message.

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly

[Neil Edmond]

Installed gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly...and nothing has changed. That is, I still get the same warning when opening Xfburn, and it won't convert mp3 to cda.

tried to add the -bad and -good ones, too? It must be something about these encoders/decoders.

Maybe you need the package:

lame

for mp3 converting.
