Tech Tip: Make Jamendo Playback Work in Firefox on Mageia Linux

If you’re having a problem playing Jamendo tracks after pressing the “Listen” button (such as on this page) on Firefox running on Linux, then try to install the packages «gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-mpeg gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg» (relevant to Mageia; try their equivalent in other distributions), restart Firefox and try again. The problem is that Firefox needs extra gstreamer plugins to play proprietary formats in HTML audio and video elements. Cheers!

(Thanks to “dolske” from #firefox on irc.mozilla.org for their help.)
