Is it normal that noatun doesn't play flac files? I have the flac use flag in /etc/make.conf, but I have to use vlc because noatun plays mp3 and ogg files only.

Thanks. 8)

i don't know why noatun won't play flac files with the flac use flag set, but you could try xmms. it is what i'm using to play flac, ogg, and mp3s.

With xmms it's the same as noatun: I can play only mp3 and ogg files. Only vlc plays flac files to me.

Why??

hi

I guess that if you're able to make xmms playing flac files, noatun will do it as well.

You need the flac flag in /etc/make.conf, and maybe theses 2 packages to be install:

* media-libs/flac
* media-plugins/gst-plugins-flac

and you might need to re-emerge noatun as well.

At least, I got the same problem with rhythmbox. and after merging gst-plugins-flac and rhythmbox again, I could read the flac files again.

Did you just add the 'flac' useflag recently? Try doing an emerge -uDN world to remerge all the packages that use it.
