Description John C F 2010-12-17 12:54:29 UTC 
I cannot open mp3 files because they say 'audioconvert' plugin is missing. I did some research and found that 'libgstaudioconvert.so' is actually located in '/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10'.

And when I ran 'gst-inspect -b', I got the following output:
Blacklisted files:
  libgstvideotestsrc.so
  libgstaudioconvert.so
  libgstvideoscale.so
  libgstadder.so
  libgstvolume.so
  libgstpython.so
  libgstdeinterlace.so
  libgstqtdemux.so
  libgstvideobox.so
  libgstrtsp.so
  libgstmatroska.so
  libgstvideomixer.so

Total count: 12 blacklisted files

Someone please help me unblacklist these files...
And find out how these files got blacklisted...
Thanks...

I deleted the registry.i386.xml file under $HOME/.gstreamer-0.10/ and ran 'gst-inspect'

then I got only 1 blacklist entry: libgstpython.so
Comment 2 Stefan Sauer (gstreamer, gtkdoc dev) 2010-12-17 14:45:32 UTC 
The libgstpython.so is a bug. It can be triggered by causing a python application to rescan the registry (e.g. gst-inspector) :/
Comment 3 David Schleef 2010-12-17 20:11:55 UTC 
The other plugins all use Orc.  Could you paste the output of orc-bugreport?  It could help me figure out why it happened in the first place.  If your distro doesn't package orc-bugreport, attach /proc/cpuinfo instead.
Comment 4 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2010-12-17 20:15:22 UTC 
The matroska and rtsp plugins don't use orc
Comment 5 John C F 2010-12-25 05:39:53 UTC 
Sorry for the late reply.. I thought the bug was a mistake!! Here is the orc-bugreport output:
$ orc-bugreport

Comment 6 David Schleef 2010-12-30 05:07:50 UTC 
As Sebastian noted, I was incorrect in assuming the Orc commonality.  The orc-bugreport output confirms this.

We have had some phantom blacklisting problems floating around, but since there's no information to go on here, we might as well leave this as NOTABUG.
