quodlibet @3.1.1 missing py27-gst-python dependency

[dave.parillo@…]

After installing QL 3.1.1, QL runs and imports a music library, but no files of any type (mp3, ogg) play.

Error displayed in QL:

No GStreamer element found to handle the following media format: 'gstreamer|1.0|quodlibet|MPEG-4 AAC

Manually installed py27-gst-python and that fixed the problem.

Didn't see an entry for gst-python bindings in the most recent port file or in r119946.

Thanks for reporting!

py27-gst-python should not be necessary since QL 3.x uses the GObject bindings, not the direct python bindings as in QL 2.x.

Your problem looks more like missing gstreamer1-gst-plugins-ugly. The fact that installing py27-gst-python fixed the problem is weird. I'll investigate more.

Can you try to uninstall py27-gst-python and see if QL still works?

Strange results:

~$ sudo port list installed | grep quodlibet
quodlibet                      @3.1.1          python/quodlibet
quodlibet                      @3.1.1          python/quodlibet

Ran port uninstall quodlibet @2.6.2_0 and port uninstall py27-gst-python and quodlibet still runs and still plays mpg and m4a.

Sorry for the false alarm. I am a bit perplexed why sudo port list installed | grep quodlibet doesn't return all the ports installed. Clearly my ignorance of how the port command works. Feel free to close, I can't do that.

Replying to elelay@…:

Hi, no worries: I'd rather get a false alarm than port broken for ages :-)

I use port installed quodlibet to show what versions are installed.

port list installed lists available versions of installed packages whereas port installed quodlibet lists actual installed versions of quodlibet. It's much faster and also has a more verbose output.
