 Posted: Sat Mar 24, 2007 3:57 pm Post subject: audacious bug (SOLVED) |
 |
|
I have few mp3 files which audacious refuses to add to the playlist because it cribs saying that
| Quote: | The following files could not be played. Please check that:
1. they are accessible.
2. you have enabled the media plugins required. |
This file is perfectly playable in mplayer with libmad decoder (which I think is what audacious is using). So, why is audacious rejecting a file that it can actually play?
| Code: | $ file a.mp3
a.mp3: MPEG ADTS, layer III, v2, 56 kBits, 22.05 kHz, JntStereo |
btw, mpg123 and xmms can play it too...

Just a few, or all mp3 files? All would mean you forgot to enable mp3 useflag for emerging audacious-plugins.

| it refuses to add only a few! ones with the above mimetags. All other mp3 files it plays fine. The use flag is 'mad' and not 'mp3' for mp3 support in audacious-plugins. |

Could you please post the output of "emerge audacious-plugins -pv" anyway?
And are you able to find out if there is one common property the unplayable MP3s share? |

the mime info is common to all that don't play.
| Code: | | a.mp3: MPEG ADTS, layer III, v2, 56 kBits, 22.05 kHz, JntStereo |

The culprit is the new stricter mp3 detection by the audacious plugins with the patch:
/usr/portage/media-plugins/audacious-plugins/files/1.3.1-stricter-mp3-probe.patch
If I remove the patch, audacious works and plays all these files.
The patch does more analysis with the header and just doesn't accept the input as valid mp3 file while it is valid because libmad , xmms , mpg123 play it. |

Yes, because something designed to keep hostile MP3s (buffer overflows vulnerabilities, etc) from harming your listening experience is a good idea to remove.

There should be a better way than refusing to play valid mp3s. Are you saying that all the programs that do play the file are vulnerable? |

the "smartassness" (new word for the new world) is really contagious...its the latest cultural fashion to hit the internet. why do people resort to this kind of battering when the better response is "please don't remove the patch, its there for a reason. Instead apply the patch referred in the bug on top to fix your current issue." I bet everybody (including the poster) would be much happier with a response like that, and probably add to their lives. |
