I'm having problems getting m4a files to work with Rhythmbox, I've installed the good, the bad and the ugly, no vlc repositories, all Packman.
If I try to import or play m4a files, they are skipped. Other formats play fine.
If I use the 'Video' app to play them, it wants to install gstreamer files which do not exist. But I'm not bothered about that, because the correct codecs ARE on the system, because...
If I su then run Rhythmbox and import m4a files, they import and play perfectly - so there is something amiss between how I'm setup and the root user, I'm wondering if it's permissions or something.
Any ideas folks? I know it will work, just not sure where to begin, I have trawled the net but I'm not sure what I'm looking for. I spent half an hour installing and I've spent 48 hours stuck on the m4a problem. rotfl!
