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

 

Hmm, in fact not only the "--interaction" argument is missing.

This is not a serious patch, but the issue can be worked-around by
adding the following lines after line 90 in /usr/lib/python3/dist-
packages/sessioninstaller/gstinstaller.py:

parser.add_option("", "--interaction")
parser.add_option("", "--desktop-id")
parser.add_option("", "--startup-notification-id")

After this monkey-patch, Totem shows me the dialog to install missing
codecs.

Bug description:
  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.
