(I don't have updates-testing enabled)

As I mentioned earlier, I have disabled the negativo17.org repo and
downgraded ffmpeg, which seems to have fixed the problem. Presumably
the spurious version it had overwritten a library.

Could you verify the signatures of the RPMs you have installed.  On my
system I have this:

$ rpm -qi vlc | grep Signature  # same for mplayer and ffmpeg
Signature   : RSA/SHA1, Wednesday 07 October 2015 11:01:18 PM IST, Key ID 
81c9b42397f4d1c1

D'oh! No dist/repo tag. It's exactly the same version-release as rpmfusion's
package:

  ffmpeg-libs-2.8.3-1.fc23.x86_64

That's really lame from the makers of that repo.
We've been warning about repository mixing problems for years!
This is the worst case that can happen.
At a minimum, packages would need to properly upgrade/replace packages
from another repo, and even that is not without risks.

Seems you've run into a repository mixing trap:

$ rpm -qpR ffmpeg-libs-2.8.3-1.fc23.x86_64.rpm |grep cenc
warning: ffmpeg-libs-2.8.3-1.fc23.x86_64.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key

That's for this package:

So, the dep on that lib is present, but your installation is broken

From negativo17.org. They have a Fedora repo. I assume they compiled HB
from sources. It seems to run fine on Fedora.

Note that my problems with MP4 pre-date my installing HandBrake. In
fact I installed it to help extract some home video DVDs which don't
play on Fedora.

I said that they don't "require" it (as a packaging dependency). They
do however fail to run and complain that it's not there. I don't know
if that points to a problem with my ld configuration (I haven't touched
LD_LIBRARY_PATH) or ldconfig settings.

And yet several apps fail because it isn't there, despite them not
having it as a dependency, so it looks like (at least) a packaging
error affecting more than one of them. If it were just a single app one
could complain to the packager, but several of them failing makes it
look like something more general.

BTW, HandBrake was also failing with the same error, until an update
last night fixed it. It no longer tries to load the library in
question.

There is no references to that lib in mplayer her (F23). Plus, it
doesn't exist in any dependencies at all:

# repoquery --whatprovides 'libvo-aacenc.so.0()(64bit)'

vlc, mplayer, mpv and ffmpeg all report no problems when run against
"rpm -V", however the last three do report a missing library with ldd:

[poc@bree ~]$ ldd /usr/bin/mpv|grep "not found"
libvo-aacenc.so.0 => not found
[poc@bree ~]$ ldd /usr/bin/mplayer|grep "not found"

[poc@bree ~]$ ldd /usr/bin/vlc|grep "not found"
[poc@bree ~]$ ldd /usr/bin/ffmpeg|grep "not found"
libvo-aacenc.so.0 => not found

Looks like a library for AAC-encoded files. This might be the problem,
except that vlc doesn't use that library and still doesn't work.

"dnf search libvo-aacenc" gives nothing.

I've never used Opera, but I'd be very, very astonished if it didn't 
allow you to trim quoted text to what's needed only, and remove 
redundant lines such as the boilerplate that the list includes on every 
post.

mplayer also doesn't use GStreamer. See "rpm -qR mplayer|less" for many
libraries it depends on, just not GStreamer.

This bottom part of the list is even weirder, as these are language-bindings
for programming languages other than C (to use GStreamer from programs
written in those other languages).

It seems you've chosen to "install everything that has 'gstreamer' in
its package name", even if that installs packages you don't need.

If installing vlc, mplayer, ffmpeg or other programs, dependencies should
really pull in everything that's needed. And in case there are optional
runtime requirements, if the documentation doesn't mention them, consider
reporting that as a problem.

If you are using the gmail app from android is pretty easy to respond in
line and to quote text, just do that, make sure that when replying, down is
a check box that say "quote text" and next to it and option that say
"respond in line", then make sure to comment below the paragraf you are
refering on.

Also, avoid respond in html style, instead of it try to use plain text.

This keeps readability ;)

I run mplayer, and have no issues with mp4.  Have you tried an install
of mplayer and ffmpeg from rpmfusion?  They might even pull in the
dependency that seems to be missing for vlc with their install, and
then vlc will work as well.

I *have* had this exact issue intermittently with firefox playing mp4
videos on vimeo, even when it works on mp4s elsewhere.  I suspect that
is a problem with their player or feed, though, not with my setup.

Throwing out your computer and buying another one would also have
worked :-)

Seriously, it is sometimes easier just to reinstall everything, but
it's almost never necessary, and if you do it you'll probably never
know what actually went wrong.

True. I mentioned gstreamer as an example. VLC uses a bunch of other
libraries, but still doesn't work with MP4.

As I said, VLC doesn't need it, but doesn't work. In any case, I've
removed all the older gstreamer packages and nothing protested, so
presumably they were unneeded.

Sorry, but this is bad advice - Linux/Fedora is not Windows.

Reinstalling the distro because some arbitrary program (here: vlc) or a

The package description for that says it's an "encoder", not a decoder.

This will become a growing problem for more users, too. What you show is a
wild mix of packages for two independent GStreamer versions. The packages
with prefix gstreamer1-* are for GStreamer v1.x, those with gstreamer-
prefix are for the older GStreamer 0.10.x. Better check which version
of GStreamer your audio/video players really need.

Re: MP4 video on F23

2015-12-08 Thread Mark Haney
I had a similar problem and I think I had to install the x264 libraries to
make it work, but I'm not certain what I did to get it working on my F23
system.
