Pithos (Pandora Radio) missing plugin

Wed Apr 20, 2016 3:16 pm

Long story short...

I installed pithos for debian which is Pandora Radio.
https://www.howtoinstall.co/en/debian/jessie/pithos

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install pithos

I get this error:
Error: your GStreamer Installation is missing a plug-in
Any ideas on how to resolve or fix the missing plugin for GStreamer?

Thanks

Are you sure that's the full error message?
It just states that the plugin is a plugin... :shock:

Typo fixed.
Also the error message is shown in the attached image

Also, a note to the effect that unless pithos installed gstreamer as a dependency, or it is otherwise already part of Jessie, it wasn't installed by me at all.

I have a sneaking suspicion I might not get much help on this considering this service (Pandora) is available only to those in the US/Australia/New Zealand.

EDIT
Apparently Pithos is for Gnome (and Raspbian Jessie is LXDE).

Pithos removed.

Anyone know of a light MP3 player ? (OMXplayer doesn't quite work for me in that I don't want the visible overlay, and prefer something with a FM navigable GUI, has the ability to create random playlists, and that can be minimized to taskbar and played in debian-jessie background)

I don't want VLC Player, or Amorok.

Thanks
