[Bug 89611] Re: handling of missing codecs for internet radio streams
20070315: forgot to add new information: in Feisty Fawn, at least on my box, libgimme-codec was not installed. That did not help. Furthermore, even after installing it, Amarok (and Kafeine, I might add) did not deal gracefully with MP3s (and aacPlus) files & streams (that's where I tried to make use of aacPlus). things only started working after I installed (going from memory here) libxine-extracodecs and some other mpeg packages via the adept package manager. (I hope someone reads this, that I am not typing this for nothing.)

test result, 20070307: * with konq, going to shoutcast.com, clicking on stream's link: amarok comes up, then complains needed decoder not loaded (have to go from memory again, i'll explain). Quit amarok. * clicking on a locally loaded MP3, amarok comes up, says it needs to install the proper codec, but hangs there. I click on the "yes install" button (again, from memory), but nothing happens. Amarok totally froze. * trying to play the same mp3 with kafeine, not successful (sp?): kafeine has the same behaviour as amarok had yesterday or the day before. * cannot re-launch amarok: the "wait" bouncing icon is displayed, but nothing comes up. Again, it would be neat if trying to play an internet radio stream whose codec is missing could result in the automatic installation of said codec (after asking the user, of course). /bm -- handling of missing codecs for internet radio streams https://launchpad.net/bugs/89611 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

follow-up, next (?) day -- 20070305: I have tried locally stored media files and: (1) .wav will play fine (2) .mp3 wil not, in either amarok or kafeine. there is no message saying something along the lines of "this seems to be a file of type abc, you are missing codec xyz in order to play it, do you want to download and install?". Though amarok will give an error message, unhelpful for non-technical users (I have to go from memory as I cannot get amarok to start again; it refuses to start again after I quit it the first time). I have attempted again to get a stream listed on http://www.shoutcast.com to play "automagically" and: (1) amarok still does not do anything, other than filling some playlist and leaving it at that. (2) kafeine will actually stream the music... but nothing comes out of the speakers. I hope this can help. -- handling of missing codecs for internet radio streams https://launchpad.net/bugs/89611 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
