I talked with Jonathan today about this. Currently the only way to get rhythmbox to use a new lame preset, is to first create the preset. In python this looks like something like:
import gst; l = gst.element_factory_make("lamemp3enc"); l.props.quality = 2.0; l.save_preset("precise-defaults") This will create the preset in ~/.gstreamer-1.0/presets/GstLameMP3Enc.prs We will need to ship the preset so it ends up /usr/share/gstreamer-0.10/presets/ and reference it's name in the rhythmbox.gep. Attached you will find the preset and the updated rhythmbox.gep which references this preset. ** Attachment added: "MP3 encoding preset to be used for Precise" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/945987/+attachment/3094790/+files/GstLameMP3Enc.prs ** Changed in: rhythmbox (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/945987 Title: No Settings are available in "Preferred format", only preset defaults are used To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/945987/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
