 Posted: Tue Jun 15, 2004 11:19 am Post subject: k3b audio decoder |
 |
|
I can't burn any audio cds with k3b because it claims there are no audio decoders installed.
emerge -pv k3b prints
| Code: |
[ebuild R ] app-cdr/k3b-0.11.10 -debug +dvdr +encode +flac +kde +mad +monkey +oggvorbis 2,674 kB
|
So at least flac, ogg and mp3 support should be in.
The plugins page in the configuration lists *nothing*.
Do I need to add some more USE flags? |

A couple of things to try:
see if any missing dependencies need to be emerge'd (-o does only dependencies. I separated it to highlight its use)
If this doesn't return any results, manually see if lame (+encode) is installed
| Code: | | emerge -pv media-sound/lame |
Also, depending on your needs you can remove some of the flags you currently have. My flags on k3b are | Code: | | [ebuild R ] app-cdr/k3b-0.11.10 -debug -dvdr +encode -flac +kde -mad -monkey +oggvorbis 3,103 kB |
Essentially, I disabled, flac, mad and monkey, don't use any of these, and also disabled dvdr, don't have a dvd player or burner.

Hmm, doesn't help. Here's what I get:
| Code: |
emerge -pvD -o k3b:
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
Total size of downloads: 0 kB
|
So all dependencies are OK.
| Code: |
emerge -pv media-sound/lame:
[ebuild R ] media-sound/lame-3.96 -debug +gtk 0 kB
|
It would just reemerge lame - it's installed.
I also unmerged and reemerged k3b to see if it helps but still
starting an audio cd project gives me an error message about no audio decoder being installed and in the K3b-Configuration->Plugins Tab there is no plugin listed...
Can I somehow point k3b manually to the libraries? |

Caveat: everything that follows is a guess since I didn't have to do this myself.
You could try going to Setings->configure K3b->Programs->Search Path and make sure that any encoders you are using are on your Search Path.
However since it appears that you used emerge to install lame (and others?) they should be in one of the paths already listed | Code: | whereis lame
or
which lame |
You might also try requesting k3b to search for external programs by clicking the search button, but again, I'm not even sure if "programs" includes plugins. I don't see the lame plugin in my program list.
At this point I will have to defer further answers to the rest of the community. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

| I had the same problem when I ran the program as root. I switched down to a regular user. And all was fine. |

I recently got a new laptop, did the KDE 3.4 split ebuilds, never did get to where I could burn MP3's... but just now I was looking at something, and I'm wondering if transcode could be the solution. I noticed in the configure k3b that it said transcode was not installed...
maybe something to look at? I donno. I'm going to install it and see what happens...
[edit]
yeah, transcode didn't help the mp3 decoder problem.
[edit, again]
well, it's nice to know that if I take a minute and look at the problem, it's easy to solve! I just had to make sure I had +mad. me = not paying attention. |
