I installed Clementine and I'm happy with it's user interface and certain features.

Unfortunately, it refuses to play wma, wav and m4a files.

As far as I know, I do have all the gstreamer plugins installed and the same files play well in Rythmbox, VLC and gnome-player.

I was getting gtreamer is missing a plugin error message. I installed gnome-codec-install and now it is giving me "internal data flow" error.

I searched the internet but to no avail. Any idea why this is happening?

Your issues seem to go beyond codec install as clementine should play wav without anything.

In any event clementine uses gstreamer0.10 so make sure that these are installed:

  • gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
  • gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg

(don't think the gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly is needed but you could install it)

If there is still an issue then try deleting the .bin file inside ~/.gstreamer-0.10/

Note that gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg is not available in 14.04 but can be had here: https://launchpad.net/~mc3man/+archive/ubuntu/gstffmpeg-keep
