Hello. When I try to play a midi file on Firefox (and I assume in any other place, as it's a coded missing) I get the following error.
It says that I'm missing x-midi-event decoder. Where can I find it. Everything else plays just fine, I thought I had installed all the gstreamer plugins. Of course when I click on "Search" nothing is found.
How can I solve this?
Now with the latest Fedora 21 Workstation, MIDI works fine for me, all you needed to do is to type "sudo yum -y install gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-fluidsynth" in GNOME Terminal and play a ".mid" file, if you system version is 20 or less, try upgrading to latest version and install the GStreamer Fluidsynth plugin.
This says gstreamer doesn't support MIDI at all: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/faq/html/chapter-dependencies.html#idp54903680
Try downloading the file and using an application that supports midi playback.
