Re: [Gnash-dev] Plugin and codec error messages on YouTube

[Jeremy C. Reed]

Following up to 
http://www.mail-archive.com/address@hidden/msg05218.html (sorry I don't 
have original to reply to).

I used the idea from the wiki to play RMS video from youtube (since I 
can't get it to view in firefox3 itself and firefox3 finally hangs):

$ url=http://youtube.com/watch?v=9sJUDx7iEJw 
$ vars=$(ftp -o - "$url" | grep -F watch_fullscreen | cut -d \? -f 2 | cut 
-d \" -f1)
$ /home/reed/gnash/bin/gnash  -vv -F 2 -P "FlashVars=$vars" http://youtube.com> 
466:140187730444288] 12:00:20 DEBUG: Verbose output turned on
466:140187730444288] 12:00:20 DEBUG: No rendering flags specified, using 
rcfile
GET :javascript:checkCurrentVideo('undefined');
GET :javascript:checkCurrentVideo('9sJUDx7iEJw');
SDL: Audio timeout - buggy audio driver? (disabled)

It played the video fine but no sound. The popup window for Gnash Error
said:

MediaHandlerGst::createAudioDecoder: Couldn't find a
plugin for audio type audio/mpeg! --
MediaHandler::createFlashAudioDecoder: no available
FLASH decoders for codec 10 (Advanced Audio Coding)

Debugging also says:

466:140187730444288] 12:00:26: ERROR: Missing plugin, but plugin 
installing not supported. Will try anyway, but expect failure.

The full logging of that is at

Any hints on how to get gstreamer to use its audio/mpeg plugin?
