Seems like it really does not know how to demux mp3s anymore. (Version 1.1.9-1 in Sid lists "mp3"explicitly when I run the same command.) > Also, an upgrade was involved regarding libxine.

It is maybe not advisable to downgrade to the vulnerable versions of the libxine1-* packages. (When I wrote my previous mail I had not realized yet that this is a security upgrade.) Unfortunately I do not know if disabling mp3s was an integral part of fixing the security hole or just a mistake that could have been avoided. The upgraded package was not produced by the regular libxine1 maintainer. If you don't care about the security implications then you can either downgrade to the old version or upgrade to 1.1.9-1 from unstable, which seems to be equally vulnerable to the exploit. If you want to be safe then you probably have to wait for version 1.1.9-2 to become available in unstable and trickle down to testing. -- Regards,| http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

This is the output of list plugins. $ xine --list-plugins=demux This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.99.6cvs. (c) 2000-2007 The xine Team. Available xine's plugins: -Demuxer: anx, image, iff, yuv4mpeg2, mpeg_pes, mpeg_block, wve, idcin, ipmovie, vqa, wc3movie, roq, str, film, smjpeg, fourxm, vmd, matroska, flashvideo, nsv, ogg, avi, fli, pva, quicktime, aud, aiff, flac, nsf, realaudio, snd, tta, voc, vox, mod, mng, real, asf, mpeg-ts, slave, mpeg, rawdv, sputext, elem, yuv_frames, wavpack. Also, an upgrade was involved regarding libxine. Here are the lines:- [UPGRADE] libxine1 1.1.8-3 -> 1.1.8-3+lenny1 [UPGRADE] libxine1-console 1.1.8-3 -> 1.1.8-3+lenny1 [UPGRADE] libxine1-doc 1.1.8-3 -> 1.1.8-3+lenny1 [UPGRADE] libxine1-ffmpeg 1.1.8-3 -> 1.1.8-3+lenny1 [UPGRADE] libxine1-gnome 1.1.8-3 -> 1.1.8-3+lenny1 [UPGRADE] libxine1-misc-plugins 1.1.8-3 -> 1.1.8-3+lenny1 [UPGRADE] libxine1-plugins 1.1.8-3 -> 1.1.8-3+lenny1 [UPGRADE] libxine1-x 1.1.8-3 -> 1.1.8-3+lenny1 Nothing about libmad0 in the log file. So, what should I do now to fix this issue? Why do I have to downgrade? Wouldn't this problem be fixed in Lenny at all? Please suggest the best possible path from here.

Is there any package that I need to install? As far as I know, the standard way of playing MP3s involves the xine engine (libxine1), which in itself relies on libmad0 to decode the MP3 stream. Check if the upgrade involved the libxine* or the libmad0 packages. You can find this information in /var/log/aptitude (if you use aptitude) or in /var/log/dpkg.log. (The aptitude log is easier to read.) If any packages were upgraded, try to downgrade them again to the previous version (which might still be in your /var/cache/apt/archives/ directory). > I am using Debian Lenny. Check the output of: xine --list-plugins=demux This should tell you if xine really does not know how to play any MP3s anymore or if it just does not recognize your particular file(s) as MP3. -- Regards,| http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Unable to play mp3 files after yesterday's dist-upgrade on Lenny
till yesterday, mp3 files were running fine using totem, xine as well as VLC. But after a dist-upgrade, it refuses to play in these players. Currently I am able to play mp3 files with mplayer only. This is the error message I get when I try to play them with various applications. xine - xine engine error - There is no demuxer plugin available to handle . Usually this means that the file format was not recognized. VLC - no audio sound audible. vlc player progress bar rapidly moves from 0 to full and then nothing happens. totem - There is no plugin to handle this movie. file type of the mp3 file obtained with file command is:- file.mp3: Audio file with ID3 version 23.0 tag, MP3 encoding Please help. Is there any package that I need to install? I am using Debian Lenny. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
