Question - Can Lollypop play module and MIDI files?
Created by: ghost
Hello
I see that Gstreamer 1.0 is supposed to support module files through libmodplug and MIDI files through wildmidi. When attempting to play them with the snappy video player (which also uses Gstreamer 1.0), this works correctly. I think it doesn't work in Lollypop because it is blocking them out based on the mimetype.
I've been taking a look at Snappy's source and it seems to just assume it can play anything, complaining about a codec being missing whenever Gstreamer eventually fails to actually play it, for example: https://git.gnome.org/browse/snappy/tree/src/gst_engine.c#n662 I'm not entirely sure if this suits your needs for an implementation in Lollypop, however.
Kind regards
