missing GStreamer plugin ? - logoiccc - 06-18-2016
file:///home/jll/Desktop/Eva%20Cassidy%20-%20Drown%20in%20My%20Own%20Tears.mp3: Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in.
I got this error after installing the " Alarm Applet " and directing it to play this mp3 audio file. How do I go about finding out which plugin is missing ? Can some one help me out with this. I'm wanting to learn how to find these things out on my own whenever possible. thank you.

It may help for you to list the steps you took in your installation attempt. Did you use source code, deb file, ppa, repository, etc.
There appears to be gstreamer plugins available via Install/Remove Software. Menu > System > Install/Remove Software. Open it an search for "gstreamer".

I just installed the applet from synaptic and it functioned fine , except for playing an audio file.
I don't know why it didn't occur to me to just look through the Gstreamer plugins . I think I was a bit intimidated by by the prospect . I'm a low level user ; but I scrolled through and installed some things that seemed like they might be pertinent and nothing seems to have broken , and it plays an mp3 file , so , hopefully it's all good. Kinda fly by nite , hit or miss.

Try installing Restricted Extras in Lite Software.
