Please describe the problem: the player used by nautilus are not available anymore in current debian (sid) : - totem-sound-preview is not available anymore - gst-launch-0.10 does not have uridecodebin anymore but decodebin2 is supposed to replace it (though I did not manage to use it with my test audio but I found another pipe that does more and better that is playbin). (src/file-manager/fm-icon-view.c get_preview_argv ) Steps to reproduce: 1. mouse over a sound Actual results: nothing plays Expected results: sound played Does this happen every time? yes, under debian sid Other information:
Created attachment 107854 [details] [review] replace uridecodebin gstreamer and all the pipeline by playbin pipeline This may have the added bonus that we do not rely on autoaudiosink anymore . Thus we would have the sink choosen in the gstreamer-properties (need to be confirmed).
Thanks for your bug report and your patch. However, this seemingly-complex pipeline has been added deliberately: We do not want video preview. http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/nautilus?view=revision&revision=13389 I committed a slightly different patch that re-ports the code to playbin, but sets "current-video=-1" on the playbin. This keeps video playback disabled. http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/nautilus?view=revision&revision=13979
(In reply to comment #0) > Please describe the problem: > the player used by nautilus are not available anymore in current debian (sid) : > - totem-sound-preview is not available anymore I think you meant that it wasn't available in your distribution rather. It was added in Totem 2.21.0, your distribution was probably too old.
