[gentoo-user] gst-plugins

[dhk]

When do I need gstreamer? When I run the "emerge --search
@media-plugins/gst-plugins" command I get a lot of results and I have no
idea what I need to install for what I want to do.

Right now I want to listen to a radio show at
http://www.legendsradio.net/ and it says I need a plugin. Anyone know
how I find out which one I need? I pretty sure I need a gst-plugin, but
not sure.

Thanks,

dhk

It's better to say what error you get rather than ask how you fix the problem
you assume you might be having. You need gstreamer and it's plugins when you
use an app that uses gstreamer to play media. The thing you use might not use
gstreamer.

Having said that, the site you mention does not appear to work. I get "server
down" errors on just about every play link. Maybe the station is barfed?
