Hmm? The real cause seems to be described adequately in what I wrote later on: if the config file written by old versions of Clementine includes a certain option (audio sink selection), new versions fail badly with no obvious error message given to the user. But, as the version in Stretch suffers from this problem, fixing this is moot by now: Clementine would have been unusable for that system/user for the whole time the system was at Stretch. So only users who'd benefit from such a fix last used Clementine in Jessie then upgraded all the way to whatever release improved handling of config file failures. Not worth our time, this can stay closed.

Bug#841364: clementine: no sound at all, "GStreamer encountered a general stream error."
severity 841364 important retitle 841364 clementine: unable to play anything in special configuration cases, "GStreamer encountered a general stream error" thanks Hi, @Adam, I tried many migrations and I still could not reproduce your bug. I still think that this is caused by a special use case of forcing a sink device in the config file or something like this. So before I get more information about your configuration, I'm lowering the severity of this bug and retitle it because it only affect a particular configuration case. @Dio, I confirm with your screenshot that your issue sound like a missing Gstreamer plugin story and it's not related with this issue. Please open a new bug with all informations needed: what file are you trying to play, what is exactly the error message you got. Thanks, Thomas Pierson

Hmm well, did that bug's related with something like that?: http://imgur.com/a/r7Ifk Okay I'll uninstall gstreamer-0.10-ffmpeg and gstreamer1.0-libav was installed from debian repository. So in my case, I think the clementine's still need legacy gstreamer AFAIK. >In fact, maybe you have the same gstreamer error message but I think you >have a totally different issue.

In Stretch/Sid there are no Gstreamer0.10 and there are no Gstreamer ffmpeg codecs anymore. The equivalent package you are looking for is probably gstreamer1.0-libav. But this is only a set of optional plugins, not a depend. In fact, maybe you have the same gstreamer error message but I think you have a totally different issue. And you are using unofficial repositories like www.deb-multimedia.org which are known to be very buggy and to cause breakages with many official packages. So, don't hesitate to open a new bug report but please retry first with a clean system without any unofficial package. Thanks, Thomas Pierson

Bug#841364: clementine: no sound at all, "GStreamer encountered a general stream error."
Package: clementine Version: 1.3.1+git240-g1a2f6e2+dfsg-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable Since today's upload, Clementine fails to produce any sound at all, instead popping up a window with endlessly repeating: GStreamer encountered a general stream error. --- GStreamer encountered a general stream error. --- GStreamer encountered a general stream error. --- GStreamer encountered a general stream error. No amount of messing with user-available settings (which have been dumbed down to just "Output device" with "Choose automatically" and a handful of "Default device on ") seems to help. Settings that are apparently not meant to be adjusted by the user (~/.config/Clementine/Clementine.conf) are undocumented at all, with nary a comment; what I remember from past versions (cf #823301) doesn't seem to work anymore. This is reproducible on different hardware, even of different architectures (I just happen to have exactly one non-remote amd64 box but plenty of arms), all using plain ALSA. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (150, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-rc1-debug-pp2+ (SMP w/6 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages clementine depends on: ii gstreamer1.0-plugins-base 1.8.3-1 ii gstreamer1.0-plugins-good 1.8.3-1+b1 ii gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly 1.8.3-1 ii libc6 2.24-5 ii libcdio13 0.83-4.2+b1 ii libchromaprint1 1.3.2-2 ii libcrypto++65.6.4-1 ii libfftw3-double33.3.5-1 ii libgcc1 1:6.2.0-7 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.36.0-1 ii libglib2.0-02.50.1-1 ii libgpod40.8.3-8 ii libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0 1.8.3-1 ii libgstreamer1.0-0 1.8.3-1 ii libimobiledevice6 1.2.0+dfsg-3 ii liblastfm1 1.0.9-1 ii libmtp9 1.1.12-1 ii libmygpo-qt11.0.9~git20151122-1 ii libplist3 1.12-3.1 ii libprojectm2v5 2.1.0+dfsg-4+b1 ii libprotobuf10 3.0.0-7 ii libpulse0 9.0-4.0nosystemd1 ii libqjson0 0.8.1-3 ii libqt4-dbus 4:4.8.7+dfsg-9 ii libqt4-network 4:4.8.7+dfsg-9 ii libqt4-opengl 4:4.8.7+dfsg-9 ii libqt4-sql 4:4.8.7+dfsg-9 ii libqt4-sql-sqlite 4:4.8.7+dfsg-9 ii libqt4-xml 4:4.8.7+dfsg-9 ii libqtcore4 4:4.8.7+dfsg-9 ii libqtgui4 4:4.8.7+dfsg-9 ii libqxt-gui0 0.6.2-3 ii libsqlite3-03.15.0-1 ii libstdc++6 6.2.0-7 ii libtag1v5 1.11+dfsg.1-0.3 ii libx11-62:1.6.3-1 ii projectm-data 2.1.0+dfsg-4 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 Versions of packages clementine recommends: ii gstreamer1.0-alsa 1.8.3-1 Versions of packages clementine suggests: ii gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad 1.8.3-1+b3 -- no debconf information
