[Swfdec] flv support?

[Ravi Karmarkar]

Hi,

I converted an flv file to swf and now I'm trying to play it back...however
I'm getting the following errors:

SWFDEC: ERROR: swfdec_audio_decoder_gst.c(109):
swfdec_audio_decoder_get_resampler: no resampling element found. Check that
GStreamer's base plugins are installed.
SWFDEC: ERROR: swfdec_audio_decoder.c(232): swfdec_audio_decoder_errorv:
error decoding audio: no suitable decoder for audio codec 2
SWFDEC: ERROR: swfdec_codec_gst.c(222): swfdec_gst_decoder_init: failed to
create decoder
SWFDEC: ERROR: swfdec_video_decoder.c(407): swfdec_video_decoder_errorv:
error decoding video: no suitable decoder for video codec 2

I have *gstreamer-0.10.22* and *gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.22* installed.
Taking the above errors one by one, first I want to know why swfdec is
complaining about base plugins when they are installed?

Thanks and regards,
Ravi Karmarkar
