[arch-general] PyChess Audio
Hello, all. Does anyone play chess? PyChess is great and seems mostly free of bugs now. There is one, glaring exception, but it could be specific to Arch. Sound effects do not play, and the sound files the pychess package installs to /usr/share/pychess/sounds do not appear in the sound selection dialogs (which have strange untitled filters applied to them). Should the problem be reported upstream?

I cannot reproduce the issue I'm afraid, everything works well on my end off a fresh install of pychess.

Thank you for the response. On 2015年05月08日 09時23分, Jan Alexander Steffens wrote: Have you installed the gstreamer0.10-plugins? I can find this package neither with $( pkgfile -ir 'gst.*plug' ) nor by searching the package database online. Here is what I do have installed: ■ pacman -Q | grep 'gst.*plug' gst-plugins-bad 1.4.5-2 gst-plugins-base 1.4.5-1 gst-plugins-base-libs 1.4.5-1 gst-plugins-good 1.4.5-2 Though it seems the pychess package lists none of these as relevant. Perhaps this is a packaging error? ■ pacman -Qi pychess Name : pychess Version: 0.10.1-4 Depends On : gnome-icon-theme python2-rsvg pygtksourceview2 gstreamer0.10-python desktop-file-utils Optional Deps : None

Could you please share output for the following command? Jan's response makes me wonder whether my system lacks an undocumented dependency. pacman -Q | grep 'gst.*plug'
Re: [arch-general] PyChess Audio
AFAIK gstreamer0.10-python is for gstreamer0.10 and not for gst, try installing the same plugins but for gstreamer0.10 And you might want to look at the output of running pychess in a shell On Fri, May 8, 2015 at 12:47 PM, Grady Martin sunnycemet...@gmail.com wrote: On 2015年05月08日 09時34分, Ben Oliver wrote: I cannot reproduce the issue I'm afraid, everything works well on my end off a fresh install of pychess.
