Bug ID: 374670
Summary: AAC transcoding is broken due to deprecated libfaac
Product: amarok
Version: 2.8.0
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Transcoding
Assignee: amarok-bugs-d...@kde.org
Reporter: rdragonr...@gmail.com
CC: ma...@laitl.cz
Target Milestone: 2.9
Okay, I am not certain what priority this would fall under, but it is currently
broken with no workaround and I would like to use the feature.
I have a Nintendo DSi and 3DS that require a form of AAC audio, specifically
.m4a. I have attempted to use Amarok to transcode to AAC, but the option is
perpetually greyed-out, despite installation of what would seem to be the
correct packages.
Someone on the Ubuntu forums has discovered the problem, once I asked about it
there:

Specifically, it seems to be this:

https://cgit.kde.org/amarok.git/tree/src/core/transcoding/formats/TranscodingAacFormat.cpp
Okay, so Amarok is looking for ffmpeg to report that it has libfaac encoder
available.
ffmpeg has deprecated libfaac: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/AAC
Sigh...
(End Quote)
I assume a possible fix would be to use a different transcoder, and fdkaac was
mentioned as an alternative that was in use on a different program, so perhaps
that will help?
I'll be the first to admit I don't really know how to fix it, but I would very
much appreciate a working transcoder on here. I am savvy enough to build a
working version from source, however.
Thanks!!!
