Sorry... my mistake: gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=/path/to/Layla.mp3 ! decodebin ! fakesink
filesrc doesn't take an URI but a location. If that fails too please attach the same as before: GST_DEBUG=5 GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR=1 filesrc location=/path/to/Layla.mp3 ! decodebin ! fakesink -- gstreamer0.10 refuses to play certain valid MP3s (not all, but some) https://launchpad.net/bugs/42247 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
