Installing Fluendo MP3 Plug-in

Fedora 8 now includes CodecBuddy (Codeina) to install Fluendo Plugins.

On December 21st 2005, Fluendo released MP3 plug-in for the GStreamer multimedia framework. The MP3 decoder is available free of charge both for individual end users and GNU/Linux and Unix distribution makers. This will allow playback of the popular MP3 format using many popular open source applications such as Totem Movie Player, Rhythmbox Music Player.

Here is a basic step of installing Fluendo MP3 Plug-in for GStreamer step-by-step for an end user:

Step 1

Visit Fluendo Webshop and click on "Fluendo MP3 Decoder"

Step 2

Select your architecture and click on "Add to Cart" button and follow by "Checkout" button.

Step 3

Sign in either as a new customer or returning customer. Continue Checkout Procedure to confirm this order.

After confirming your order, you'll be given a link where you can download "Fluendo MP3 Decoder"

Step 4

Once downloaded, extract the tarball and read the documenation/INSTALL.mp3.txt.

$ ls
fluendo-mp3-1.i386.tar.bz2
$ tar -jxvf fluendo-mp3-1.i386.tar.bz2
fluendo-mp3-i386/
fluendo-mp3-i386/libgstflump3dec.so
documentation/INSTALL.mp3.txt
documentation/LICENSE.mp3.txt
$ ls
documentation  fluendo-mp3-1.i386.tar.bz2  fluendo-mp3-i386
$ cd fluendo-mp3-i386/
$ ls
libgstflump3dec.so

Step 5

Basically, you need to create a plugins directory under $HOME/.gstreamer-0.10 then copy the binary over.

$ mkdir -p $HOME/.gstreamer-0.10/plugins
$ cp libgstflump3dec.so $HOME/.gstreamer-0.10/plugins
$ chcon --type=textrel_shlib_t $HOME/.gstreamer-0.10/plugins/*.so

Last step may not be necessary if selinux is disabled.

If selinux is enabled, make sure that executable stacks are enabled (see System > Administration > SELinux Management > Boolean > Memory Protection > Allow unconfined executables to mark their stack executable).

Step 6

Now, you should be able to play MP3 files using GStreamer applications such as Totem Movie Player, Rhythmbox Music Player, Banshee Music player or the Elisa Media center.
