Brian: Note that I filed this bug report as codeina ticket #210:
https://core.fluendo.com/gstreamer/trac/ticket/210 I suspect there is a problem in the codeina server since the codeina source code hasn't changed at all since this last worked. I know that codeina just released version 8 of the Solaris codecs this past week, so I am guessing something got messed up with the update. Hopefully this will get resolved quickly. I'll touch base with the codeina developers about this. Today is a holiday in Barcelona (where Fluendo is based), though, so it will probably be tomorrow before this is looked into at the earliest. You should be able to run codeina standalone to download the needed plugins, in the meantime. Just run codeina from the command line and you should be able to download the plugin.
