Specifying preferred audio codec about mopidy-youtube

[jghibiki]

I am seeing this same audio/x-unknown issue for this video as well. Other videos however play just fine (with an occasional hiccup like this one).

I am seeing this issue on Debian GNU/Linux 7.

The actual output from mopidy is:

WARNING  Could not find a audio/x-unknown decoder to handle media.
WARNING  There is no codec present that can handle the stream's type.
ERROR    Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in.

ERROR Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in.

That means you need to install gstreamer-plugins-{bad,ugly,unsupported...} the best is to install all plugins that there are for GStreamer :)

@dz0ny I tried that to no avail.

Yes I also tried installing every gstreamer plugin but it still didn't help. I think the problem is that the mime type is audio/x-unknown and so it can't find a plugin for it?

If you're installing GStreamer from Homebrew, there's lots of optional dependencies that are not included by default. The mopidy/mopidy/mopidy Homebrew formula does a good job at install GStreamer with a long list of useful extras, ref. https://github.com/mopidy/homebrew-mopidy/blob/17b1d11924005fd34e6a0f602589b721b0cc2f1d/mopidy.rb#L10-L36

Thus, I'd recommend uninstalling GStreamer and installing mopidy/mopidy/mopidy to let it handle the optional GStreamer parts:

brew uninstall gst-plugins-base010 gst-plugins-good010 gst-plugins-bad010 gst-plugins-ugly010
brew install mopidy/mopidy/mopidy

That appears to have fixed it for me.

Thanks!
