Hello guys,

on my pi2 which I updated from wheezy to jessy mopidy2.0.0 is running fine  
All my files m4a and mp3 are played.  
But on a fresh install I tried installing and deinstalling codecs for gstreamer

Have you any ideas how to solve it?  
Somehow most or all mp3 files are not scanned

Here is what I get starting scan

I use an RPI3 with all Raspbian Jessie updates and experience the same problem.  
After a “local scan” I miss about 10000 songs which are visible in the folders. but can not be played with, for example, VLC player.

**Example:**  
WARNING Failed local:track:K/Keith%20Anderson/Keith%20Anderson%20-%20Sunday%20morning%20in%20america.mp3: gst-stream-error-quark: Could not determine type of stream. (4)

Provide the output of `mopidy deps`.

You are probably just missing a suitable mp3 gstreamer plugin. Make sure you have all the plugins installed.

- gstreamer1.0-plugins-good
- gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad
- gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly

And maybe the libav one (if that’s available in jessie, I can’t remember).
