As does ffplay (command > line from xterm). And so does vlc. All on an mp4. mplayer also doesn't use GStreamer. See "rpm -qR mplayer|less" for many libraries it depends on, just not GStreamer. > perl-GStreamer-0.19-3.fc21.x86_64 > perl-GStreamer-Interfaces-0.06-7.fc21.x86_64 > phonon-backend-gstreamer-4.8.2-3.fc21.x86_64 > python3-gstreamer1-1.4.0-1.fc21.x86_64 > python-gstreamer1-1.4.0-1.fc21.x86_64 > qt5-gstreamer-1.2.0-2.fc21.x86_64 > qt5-gstreamer-devel-1.2.0-2.fc21.x86_64 > qt-gstreamer-1.2.0-2.fc21.x86_64 > qt-gstreamer-devel-1.2.0-2.fc21.x86_64 > rubygem-gstreamer-2.2.5-1.fc21.x86_64 > rubygem-gstreamer-devel-2.2.5-1.fc21.x86_64 > rubygem-gstreamer-doc-2.2.5-1.fc21.x86_64 This bottom part of the list is even weirder, as these are language-bindings for programming languages other than C (to use GStreamer from programs written in those other languages). It seems you've chosen to "install everything that has 'gstreamer' in its package name", even if that installs packages you don't need. If installing vlc, mplayer, ffmpeg or other programs, dependencies should really pull in everything that's needed. And in case there are optional runtime requirements, if the documentation doesn't mention them, consider reporting that as a problem. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
