Amarok: No suitable demux plugin

[snakyjake]

Trying to play mp3 files in Amarok (v1.4.2). It plays ogg files fine. Rhythmbox and Banshee play mp3 files. I also use Xubuntu.

Error Message:
Error Loading Media
No suitable demux plugin. This often means that the file format is not supported.

Thank you,

Install libxine-extracodecs

That worked. Thank you.

I ran across this error message too, and tried to follow the advice above, but it turns out I already have these installed. If anyone can help me understand why I might still have these errors, I'd appreciate it.

I'm having the same problem when I click on a shoutcast stream. I can play aac+ streams but not mp3 streams. I have the extra codecs installed also.

i'm also having this problem. i can play mp3 and aac files from either my hard drive or my ipod, but i can't seem to play streams.

I had the same problem. Reinstalling the libxine-codecs (even though I already had them) fixed the problem for me.

I had a similar problem, only that local mp3s worked fine but radio streams did not. The fix that worked for me was to close Amarok, delete the ~./xine folder and restart Amarok.

In addition to removing .xine, I found removing .gxine solves the problem as well.

I tried initially to install libxine-extracodecs on Feisty. It said that the following package can be installed to replace it, which was libxine1-ffmpeg. So installed that package and it worked like a charm.

Thanks.
