rhythmbox decoder plugins

[_stan_]

Hi everyone,
This is my first attempt at using Linux, I used to use XP. I am having problems with rythmbox. I am unable to play a *.pls file from an internet radio station;

http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/shoutc...e=filename.pls


when I try to listen it tells me I need to install a decoder. how do I do this? Has this something to do with yum?

help would be welcome.

have u got gstreamer installed?

install the livna repo http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-7.rpm

i think you'll need the

gstreamer-plugins-ugly-0.10.5-2.lvn7.i386.rpm

and

gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.5-3.lvn7.i386.rpm

and

gstreamer-ffmpeg-0.10.2-2.lvn7.i386.rpm

yum should handle the dependancies during install of those 3 rpm's

not sure, when I select Applications/Add Remove Software I get told that

Another application is running which is accessing software information.

how do I close that application? there is nothing showing on the panel.

Try

su -
rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-7.rpm
yum install gstreamer-*

And try exaile for internet radio & media player as it has a good shoutcast plugin

yum install exaile

To disable the other app ( yum-updatesd ) try


su -
chkconfig --level 12345 yum-updatesd off
