[Bug 87715] Re: Soundconverter creates VBR MP3 files with incorrect length/bitrate
have_xingmux is not referenced anywhere because it's dynamically created at start, it's replaced by available_elements in the next version, but the generated files will have the same problem. The real underlying problem is in gstreamer, which seems to be unable to generate a proper xing header. This problem was fixed back in 2007, I'll investigate to find out what is happening. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/87715 Title: Soundconverter creates VBR MP3 files with incorrect length/bitrate To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/soundconverter/+bug/87715/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 87715] Re: Soundconverter creates VBR MP3 files with incorrect length/bitrate
The version I had had this line: if have_xingmux and properties[self.mp3_mode][0]: I changed it to: if properties[self.mp3_mode][0]: and it worked. I couldn't find any reference to have_xingmux being set anywhere in the file. I looked in the Trunk and that line seems to be changed to: if available_elements['xingmux'] and properties[self.mp3_mode][0]: So, it looks like it has been fixed, just not in the version I'm running. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/87715 Title: Soundconverter creates VBR MP3 files with incorrect length/bitrate To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/soundconverter/+bug/87715/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 87715] Re: Soundconverter creates VBR MP3 files with incorrect length/bitrate
I agree with Ola, I think that this problem still exists in version 1.4.4 (at least on the version available in Ubuntu). Previously I was running Ubuntu 10.04, but upgraded this week to 10.10. At first I noticed that when I used VBR to convert some flacs for use on my Android device that the Android player seemed to not only have trouble seeking but also was reporting the wrong time position within files. Just today I converted a few files with Soundconverter and installed MP3 Diags; it reported having a different frame count than the Xing tag reported on the converted files. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/87715 Title: Soundconverter creates VBR MP3 files with incorrect length/bitrate -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 87715] Re: Soundconverter creates VBR MP3 files with incorrect length/bitrate
This issue still seems to be alive.. I have converted FLAC files to VBR mp3, quality option Very High. I run Lucid (10.04) with gstreamer0.10 -plugins-ugly installed. Soundconverter 1.4.4 seems to do its work but the bad time count is still there. I have tried to repair, rebuild and remove Xing header with mp3 Diags, with no success. Am I doing something wrong? I have a whole bunch of gstreamer0.10-plugins installed (base, good, bad, fluendo etc.), but that is maybe not the problem? -- Soundconverter creates VBR MP3 files with incorrect length/bitrate https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/87715 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

Has this been fixed yet? I've been hit with this one recently. I converted all my jamendo ogg's to MP3's since my player can't handle them. Is there a way to fix the length now btw? PS.

Thank you for the patch ! But, xingmux seems to be broken: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=397759 I'm not to sure what to do now: without xing header half of mp3 players wrongly handle vbr mp3s, and with a broken xing header the other half will be angry :) On 2/26/07, William Grant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > As the Debian/Ubuntu maintainer of SoundConverter, I'll wait for a while > to see if upstream releases a new version with this patch included.

Great, thanks for that! I've built this fix on top of the latest 0.9.3 source, and this does indeed fix the problem.

[Bug 87715] Re: Soundconverter creates VBR MP3 files with incorrect length/bitrate
The problem is that soundconverted attempts to use gstreamer lame's xingheader option, which hasn't worked ever (see the header comments in this file: http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins- ugly/ext/lame/gstlame.c?revision=1.102&view=markup). The correct solution, as suggested in that header comment, is to add xingmux to the output pipeline. I'm attaching a unified diff file against 0.9.3-1ubuntu1 that fixes the problem permanently.
