Hi all --

I've been using Rhythmbox for many years, thanks!=C2=A0 But I recently upgr=
aded my desktop to Fedora 25 and I haven't got Rhythmbpox to play any MP3s.=
=C2=A0 I first tried installing gstreamer1-plugins-* from RPMFusion; and wh=
en that didn't work I uninstalled gstreamer1-plugins-ugly and installed gst=
reamer1-plugin-mpg123 and mpg123-libs from the default Fedora repositories,=
 as suggested by this page:=20
https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/9111/sticky-what-plugins-do-i-nee=
d-to-install-to-watch-movies-and-listen-to-music/
=20
In both cases, whenever I click on an MP3 song in rhythmbox, I get a notifi=
cation that 'an application is requesting an additional codec', and a butto=
n to open the 'Software' application.  The Software application crashes bef=
ore doing anything, but that's not your problem :-/

I can play MP3s with the mpg123 command line program and with VLC.  Totem b=
ehaves essentially the same as Rhythmbox.

Any ideas?  Or is there a better place for me to ask?

Thanks!
Bob
