This was working fine a few days ago, I did a "emerged-uDN world" today and now amarok just crashes as soon as I attempt to play any flac files.

Starting from the console gives
Code:

amarokapp: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.1.4/xineplug_decode_ff.so: undefined symbol: avcodec_decode_audio2


Tried emerging xine-ui and it falls over with the same error.

According to some old (2006) results from google, xine might have problems with id3 tags in flac files. I have removed all tags and the tags were vorbis anyway, but amarok and xine still crash with the same error.

I haven't changed any use flags, system is completely up to date and have tried re-emerging flac and xine-lib with no luck. Also tried xine-libs 1.1.7, but still the same.

Code:

emerge -pv xine-lib

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.4-r2  USE="X a52 aac aalib alsa dvd flac gtk imagemagick ipv6 mad nls opengl samba sdl speex truetype v4l vcd vorbis win32codecs xv (-altivec) -arts -debug -directfb -dts -dxr3 -esd -fbcon -gnome -libcaca -mmap -mng -modplug -musepack -oss -pulseaudio -theora -vidix -wavpack -xcb -xinerama -xvmc" 0 kB



Can anyone help? I have a big collection of flac files and this is a bit daft!

Edit: xine-check reports

Code:

[ good ] plugin directory /usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.1.7 exists.
[ good ] found unknown plugin: xineplug_flac.so


So, is xine just looking at the wrong plugin?

What does revdep-rebuild -pv say?

Nothing to rebuild. The system is up to date, config files updated and so on.

Thanks anyway, wyvern5

Hello

I had the same problem some time ago. Downgrading both xine-lib and flac to earlier versions worked for me (unless you need new xine-lib for kaffeine or similiar). AFAIR newer flac is somehow broken anyway (or breaks other stuff acc. to its changelog).

Thank nieve9, you're a star!

I'd been working my way through all the unmasking/rebuilding joys and all I needed was
Code:

echo ">media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.3" >> /etc/portage/package.mask

and I'm back up and running again. flac is fine using flac-1.1.2-r8 stable, it just seems it was a problem with xine-lib!

Thanks again.
