[Bug 1171027] Re: Unable to play midi files Ubuntu 13.04 Invalid Commandline

[Edwin Lee]

At first I didn't notice it was just midi files; I was trying to play an
mp3 but my queue had a midi at the top entry, and sure enough it is a
midi / gstreamer issue.  I installed Ubuntu 13.04 on release day,
upgrading from 12.10 using standard procedure.

Title:
  Unable to play midi files Ubuntu 13.04 Invalid Commandline

Status in “gnome-codec-install” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In 13.04, when trying to play any midi in the default payer, Rythumbox, or Banshee, the playing fails. In two of the players I get the error message:
  Invalid Commandline
  The parameters passed to the application had an invalid format. Please file a bug!

  The parameters were:
  -transient-for=85983243
  gstreamer|1.0|totem|audio/midi decoder|decoder-audio/midi

  I see the report says it is an alpha release. I installed 13.04 from
  the Beta 2 Ubuntu download.
