[Bug 1499889] [NEW] gstreamer-codec-install: error: no such option: --interaction

 

Public bug reported:

Attempting to play a mp3 file with Totem on the latest Wily daily build
(from the USB stick).

Totem opens but no playback start.
On the terminal I got this:

** Message: Missing plugin: gstreamer|1.0|totem|MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) decoder|decoder-audio/mpeg, mpegversion=(int)1, mpegaudioversion=(int)1, layer=(int)3, parsed=(boolean)true (MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) decoder)
Falling back to package information
Usage: gstreamer-codec-install [options]

gstreamer-codec-install: error: no such option: --interaction


The wizard to install the missing codec actually fails to launch.

The very same happen when attempting to play a video. Strangely enough,
when the audio codec is supported but the video one is not, Totem starts
to play the audio and just display a black rectangle instead of the
actual video stream.
