Re: [PATCH] gnu: Add rhythmbox.

[David Hashe]

Hi Ludo and Ricardo,

The 'uridecodebin' error is a result of GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH not being set. However, the recent patch to gstreamer adds that to its native search paths, so that error should be resolved now on an updated system. I had a line defining GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH in my .bashrc, but I was able to remove it after that patch was applied. Rhythmbox is working without errors for me.

I've also realized that some of the packages I put under inputs should probably be propagated inputs, so I'm attaching an updated patch which changes that.

I am currently using guix over ubuntu.

Thanks,

David

Well, I still get this error and I don’t know if I need to do anything
after installation to make this work.  It very much looks like a
gstreamer error to me, but I don’t have the time to investigate this
soon.

David, is Rhythmbox working for without any such errors?  Are you using
GuixSD?
