Feel free to write an Mplayer or Xine backend. Totem supports a Xine backend, but we do not package it, and it's likely to be deprecated upstream anyway. But the frameworks don't matter... we can't ship or distribute the codec you are looking for. Build or install ffmpeg support for GStreamer and make sure ffmpeg has the codec plugin you are looking for, and Banshee will magically play the content you want. There might be native codec support for the content you want to play in GStreamer too, but it doesn't matter, because we can't ship it. GStreamer is a plugin-based system. We can only ship the plugins that are not encumbered by patents. It's not ridiculous. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
