Error dialog

Seems to be a problem with a WMA file, but I can't figure out which one.


The parameters passed to the application had an invalid format. Please file a bug!

The parameters were:

Found the file causing the problem, uploaded it here:

Comment 2 Jonathan Matthew 2017-03-15 21:46:02 UTC
The bug here is either in gst-plugins-base or the plugin installer application, but it's pretty hard to tell.  What distribution are you using?
Comment 3 Stephan Walter 2017-03-15 22:04:35 UTC
/etc/lsb-release:

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=xenial
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS"


plugin installer application? Do you mean gnome-codec-install?

ii  gnome-codec-install 0.4.7+nmu2ubuntu1 all          GStreamer codec installer


It would seem that the error dialog is from gnome-codec-install. When I run "gnome-codec-install --help" I get the same kind of dialog, telling me to file a bug :-)

So it seems that Rhythmbox calls gnome-codec-install with command line options it doesn't understand.
Comment 4 Jonathan Matthew 2017-03-15 22:18:33 UTC
Reassigning to gstreamer, but I suspect this really is gnome-codec-install's problem.
Comment 5 Tim-Philipp Müller 2017-03-15 23:08:04 UTC
This looks more like an issue in gnome-codec-install.

Not sure why it pops up at all, gstreamer1.0-libav is installed and should contain avdec_wmav2 which should handle this file.
Comment 6 Tim-Philipp Müller 2017-03-16 14:46:29 UTC
Does anyone know in which bugzilla component gnome-codec-install lives? Or is it on a different bugzilla?
Comment 7 Tim-Philipp Müller 2018-01-19 18:57:12 UTC
Not sure what to do about this, doesn't look like a GStreamer issue, sorry.
