Ah, thanks. That was the pointer I needed. I just added a spec-file to SFE for SFEpyopenssl. If you also need it in other things (like CherryPy), feel free to add SFEpyopenssl as a dependency to its spec-file. Now that I am building codeina with OpenSSL support, it seems to work better. Now when I launch it, it pops up a dialog asking me if I want to buy codecs from Fluendo. However, it seems to show me the plugins available for Linux, not the subset available for Solaris. Also, when I set GST_INSTALL_PLUGINS_HELPER to "/usr/bin/codeina" and run totem, and try to play a format like WMA or WMV that has an available Solaris codecs at the Fluendo webstore, it also does not work. It complains "No productions found to install". Again, I suspect that codeina needs a bit more work to recognize which codecs are, in fact, available for Solaris. I will dig into this and see if I can get it working. I know many people have suggested it would be good to get a program like codeina available on Solaris, to make it easier for people to get access to media codecs. So, I will continue to try and get this working. It is a little annoying that it has so many new dependencies (pyyaml, notify-python, and pyopenssl), but if it adds enough value, I imagine we can integrate these as well. Brian
