Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kaffeine
Hi when I first installed Ubuntu Breezy 6.10 one of the first things I did was run automatix and install all of the required win32 codecs and so on. After doing this I was able to play MP3's normally. However after a recent batch of updates, both Amarok and Kaffeine have suddenly decided to stop playing MP3's. The only common thread I can find between them is the xine engine - so I can only assume that MP3 support in the included xine-engine in Ubuntu has been disabled (as is the case on Suse). The question is how do I re-enable it? I would try automatix again, however since originally installing Breezy 6.10, I have now upgraded to the Feisty repositories and now automatix will no longer run and it claims it is not compatible with that version of Ubuntu. Something else that is odd that I noticed too however is that many KDE specific apps have stopped being able to play MP3's, like Amarok, Kaffeien, Kaboodle and so on - and I can no longer sample/preview MP3 music files in konqueror either - but all non KDE specific apps can still play MP3's - such as XMMS, Real Player, MPlayer and so on. So this seems to be related specifically to KDE somehow. I have followed all of the guides (including this guide here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats) for enabling MP3 support in Amarok - and when I try to play and MP3 file Amarok offers to enable MP3 support - but after offering to do so when I click on "yes" it crashes and MP3 support is not enabled. I also tried following the manual guide on the Wiki for enabling MP3 support in Amarok/Kaffeine but still to no effect. I installed (and reinstalled) libxine-extracodecs and was still unsuccessful in enabling MP3 support. I have tried upgrading and downgrading both Kaffeine and Amarok - but again to no effect. I also have the latests Win32 codecs installed. Currently MP3 support appears to be broken for all of my KDE related apps. ** Affects: kaffeine (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed ** Tags added: amarok feisty kaffeine xine -- MP3 Support is Broken In Feisty https://launchpad.net/bugs/77059 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
