[Bug 346246] Re: Amarok in Kubuntu/Ubuntu Jaunty does not offer to install restricted codecs (like MP3)
workaround for getting back MP3-playing (since no one's mentioned it yet) : `sudo aptitude install libxine1-ffmpeg` worked for me -- Amarok in Kubuntu/Ubuntu Jaunty does not offer to install restricted codecs (like MP3) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346246 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Loïc: a regression would be if this option was working before and doesn't work anymore. But Amarok doesn't handle codec download at all and never has, this depends on your distributors choice to offer (or not) preinstalled mp3 codecs for the xine sound engine. ** Tags removed: regression -- Amarok in Kubuntu/Ubuntu Jaunty does not offer to install restricted codecs (like MP3) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346246 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to amarok in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
[Bug 346246] Re: Amarok in Kubuntu/Ubuntu Jaunty does not offer to install restricted codecs (like MP3)
Myriam: Amarok (1.4) in Kubuntu/Ubuntu 8.10 offered this option. Upon playing an mp3, it would prompt for install of restricted codecs (and install them if the user wants it). In 9.04, Amarok (2.0) doesn't do this anymore. But Amarok doesn't handle codec download at all and never has, this depends on your distributors choice to offer (or not) preinstalled mp3 codecs for the xine sound engine. Note that this bug is opened against amarok (_Ubuntu_), not against the upstream project. For amarok (_Ubuntu_) it's a regression (even though Amarok 2.0 is a different beast than 1.4, it's still an upper version of the same program, which is valid for reporting a regression). -- Amarok in Kubuntu/Ubuntu Jaunty does not offer to install restricted codecs (like MP3) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346246 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Amarok (1.4) in Kubuntu/Ubuntu 8.10 offered this option. Right, you are comparing apples with oranges here: Amarok 2 is something totally new, filing a regression for an application which has not even a common codebase with the 1.4.x series and never had this option is a bit strange, don't you think? Also, the option you describe is particular to gstreamer IIRC, and Amarok 2.0.2 doesn't use gstreamer directly, it uses phonon. I don't think this is an Amarok bug at all, but a distribution specific bug for mp3 codecs. -- Amarok in Kubuntu/Ubuntu Jaunty does not offer to install restricted codecs (like MP3) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346246 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

filing a regression for an application which has not even a common codebase with the 1.4.x series and never had this option is a bit strange, don't you think? That's a peculiar question. Obviously I wouldn't have filed a regression if I thought that. Amarok 2.X has been chosen as a replacement for 1.4 in Ubuntu 9.04, whatever the codebase it's a regression for the user of the same application. Again note that the bug is limited to the Ubuntu project, nobody has suggested to file it upstream. -- Amarok in Kubuntu/Ubuntu Jaunty does not offer to install restricted codecs (like MP3) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346246 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 346246] Re: Amarok in Kubuntu/Ubuntu Jaunty does not offer to install restricted codecs (like MP3)
Amarok uses update-notifier-kde to prompt for restricted codecs install. Most non-Kubuntu desktop users won't have that installed and won't get prompted, which is indeed a regression from previously. Ideally Amarok would use packagekit to check for useful codecs and install through that. This would be a (mostly) desktop and distro independent way of installing codecs. -- Amarok in Kubuntu/Ubuntu Jaunty does not offer to install restricted codecs (like MP3) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346246 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
