Thanks for your patience and sorry for bringing confusion by posting to a duplicate of this bug.
I finally managed to have a closer look at this problem. First of all minitube depends on phonon and phonon depends on phonon- backend-xine | phonon-backend. Means that if no phonon backend is installed phonon-backend-xine will be pushed in and if there is already a backend like phonon-backend-gstreamer no other backend will be installed in addition. I think it is acceptable to prefer phonon- backend-xine, because this is a Qt application. Further, you have to install the necessary codecs, libxine1-ffmpeg is enough. I managed to play and listen to videos on GNOME with this configuration and I did not have to install any gstreamer stuff. I will make minitube suggest libxine1-ffmpeg. It is no solution to make it depend or recommend on libxine1-ffmpeg, because if you are using an other backend as phonon-backend-xine, you would not want to have libxine1-ffmpeg installed. So in conclusion, if you install minitube on Ubuntu and no phonon- backend is installed, minitube will install phonon-backend-xine and suggest libxine1-ffmpeg in future. Flavio, could you probably change your description on the minitube homepage that GNOME users should not change to phonon-backend-gstreamer, installing libxine1-ffmpeg is enough? KDE users usually have libxine1-ffmpeg installed already, because they need it for e.g. Amarok. -- minitube don't played the youtube movies, no sound https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/559906 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
