[Bug 37671] Re: rhythmbox need support for easy-codec-installation
This feature is still very much needed. I just updated my laptop to Gutsy beta and pulled up Rhythmbox to play some music shared on my desktop computer with avahi/firefly. Playing an mp3 doesn't even show any message at all but if you examine the song properties then there is a message about codec support. I think the argument that users will only browse with nautilus and double-click music files is naive at best and avoiding the real issue at worst. Gutsy is great about doing the right thing with respect to missing components in most cases so this lack in Rhythmbox is all the more obvious. -- rhythmbox need support for easy-codec-installation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/37671 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 37671] Re: rhythmbox need support for easy-codec-installation
For me, first thing after installing a fresh Ubuntu Feisty system is to check out my music collection, so naturally I look for Music Player in Applications menu. Rhythmbox nicely welcomes me and offers to locate my music files! I select the music folder with my MP3s and OGGs, complete the wizard, but the biggest part of my collection just does not appear on my playlist! Rhythmbox doesn't give me any error messages, it just silently excludes my MP3s from playlist, which is rather confusing for someone who doesn't know anything about media formats. "Why is half of the music missing from playlist?" - my friend wonders. I start explaining him about codecs and that Easy Codec Installation only works when you open files from file browser (Nautilus) that will launch Totem that will install the codecs... To which he says "That's stupid?". I bet he is right. Rhythmbox is the only "Music Player" on Ubuntu installed by default. Please, make it work, apply Easy Codec Installation to Rhythmbox as well. Going through not so obvious steps of first opening music files in a Movie Player in order to install MP3 support for your Music Player sounds silly. For most people there is no music without MP3s. Most of portable music players (usually named "MP3 players") unfortunately do not support OGG. Do not include non-free formats in system, but make it easy to install them when needed.

For me, first thing after installing a fresh Ubuntu Feisty system is to check out my music collection, so naturally I look for Music Player in Applications menu. Rhythmbox nicely welcomes me and offers to locate my music files! I select the music folder with my MP3s and OGGs, complete the wizard, but the biggest part of my collection just does not appear on my playlist! Rhythmbox doesn't give me any error messages, it just silently excludes my MP3s from playlist, which is rather confusing for someone who doesn't know anything about media formats. "Why is half of the music missing from playlist?" - my friend wonders. I start explaining him about codecs and that Easy Codec Installation only works when you open files from file browser (Nautilus) that will launch Totem that will install the codecs... To which he says "That's stupid?". I bet he is right. Rhythmbox is the only "Music Player" on Ubuntu installed by default. Please, make it work, apply Easy Codec Installation to Rhythmbox as well. Going through not so obvious steps of first opening music files in a Movie Player in order to install MP3 support for your Music Player sounds silly. For most people there is no music without MP3s. Most of portable music players (usually named "MP3 players") unfortunately do not support OGG. Do not include non-free formats in system, but make it easy to install them when needed.

This feature is still very much needed. I just updated my laptop to Gutsy beta and pulled up Rhythmbox to play some music shared on my desktop computer with avahi/firefly.

Going through not so obvious steps of first opening music files in a Movie Player in order to install MP3 support for your Music Player sounds silly. For most people there is no music without MP3s. Most of portable music players (usually named "MP3 players") unfortunately do not support OGG. Do not include non-free formats in system, but make it easy to install them when needed.

What "argument that users will only browse with nautilus and double- click music"? Where did you read that?
