Hello I have installed XBMC 12 with no issues, but when I try to reproduce an mp3 file, XBMC fails. not having the same issue on flacs files
Looks like a library is missing.
OS: OPEN SUSE 12.1
Any idea what's going on?

Here is the log

Are you able to play mp3 files on that system outside of XBMC (e.g., using a music player app included with your OS installation)? Are you able to play locally stored mp3 files using XBMC?

Also, please do not post log snippets here. Instead, upload your complete debug log (wiki) (with debugging enabled) to www.xbmclogs.com that shows you attempting to play mp3 files. Post the assigned URL for your uploaded log here.

[Solved] !
Thanks. For some reason, some libraries were missed in the installation.
I have installed vlc and that solved the issue
Thanks again.
