[Bug 37248] Re: AmaroK tries to play MP3 without support - Should give an error
Changing package to xine, according to comment in kde bug #124540: This is not amaroK's fault, but the fault of the distro packagers who patch xine-lib. The problem is, they remove he mp3 codec, without updating xine's internal list of supported file types. So xine happily reports to amaroK that it was able to play mp3, while it really isn't. If it were patched correctly, you would not be able to insert the files in the playlist, and amaroK would complain about missing mp3 support. ** Changed in: amarok (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: amarok = xine-lib -- AmaroK tries to play MP3 without support - Should give an error https://launchpad.net/bugs/37248 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

I too fell victim to this trap. While adding the xineextras dep probably isnt possible or desired. I do think that a helpful error message of an unsupported media codec would be appreciated. I thought it was an issue with the sound engine auto-detection at first. -mf -- AmaroK tries to play MP3 without support - Should give an error https://launchpad.net/bugs/37248 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

[Bug 37248] Re: AmaroK tries to play MP3 without support - Should give an error
This is definately a bug... I became quite frustrated trying to figure out why AmaroK was refusing to play MP3s and Shoutcast streams. I had thought it either a conflict with artsd or a bug in AmaroK itself, because both MP3s and Shoutcast streams worked as expected in XMMS. Eventually, I thought to try to play the MP3s in xine-ui and discovered xine-ui immediately popped up a message saying something like MP3 VBR type (0x0) codec not recgonized... Because of that error I eventually figured out that it was because libxine-extracodecs was missing. Some options to fix this issue would be to fix the dependancies for AmaroK to require libxine-extracodecs or to fix the config so that they don't include MP3 support without the libs being there (since the upstream says its a packaging issue: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124540).
