Okay, I somehow fixed it... first I deleted (moved) all gstreamer files I could find on the system, then purged all of the gstreamer packages using dpkg --force-all --purge and then reinstalled them. That didn't work right away, but then I found out that it was only that one user who had a problem, so I removed the ~/.gstreamer-0.10 folder (which I had done previously to no avail) and when it rebuilt the database, all was well.
Thanks for the help, sorry to be a bother. ** Changed in: gstreamer0.10 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- gstreamer no longer playing nonfree media files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/558904 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gstreamer0.10 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
