Re-opening RB or should I file a new one ? In 12.10 you all are now providing a rhythmbox.gep & 2 presets that are incompatible. The effect of this is both mp3 & ogg encoding are unavailable & a "Install additional software required to use this format" box appears. Clicking it will be to no avail., when a preset is wrong the box appears & will not go away until the preset or .gep is corrected.
The 2 .prs's supplied have this as the name - (in /usr/share/gstreamer-0.10/presets [ubuntu-default] The rhythmbox.gep has this - preset = rhythmbox-custom-settings So they need to be the same, pick one or the other ** Attachment added: "Screenshot from 2012-08-28 22:40:44.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/945987/+attachment/3281470/+files/Screenshot%20from%202012-08-28%2022%3A40%3A44.png ** Changed in: rhythmbox (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => New ** Changed in: rhythmbox (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/945987 Title: No Settings are available in "Preferred format", only preset defaults are used Status in The GStreamer Multimedia Framework: Incomplete Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “transmageddon” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “rhythmbox” source package in Precise: Fix Committed Status in “transmageddon” source package in Precise: Fix Committed Bug description: = Transmageddon = [ Description ] Transmageddon ships gstreamer preset files in a shared directory, /usr/share/gstreamer-0.10/presets. As these presets have fixed names, this is unhelpful. An upstream commit included in 0.21 moves these to a private location. [ Development fix ] Fixed in Quantal in an identical way. [ Regression potential ] If the fix doesn't work then it's possible that transmageddon won't be able to find its presets and will not be able to encode anything. [ Testing ] There should be no functional difference. Test with both the old and new transmageddon that you can still transcode some videos using a variety of settings, and that the settings you choose are the ones which are pplied. = Rhythmbox = [ Description ] No encoding preset is shipped with Rhythmbox, meaning that subpar defaults for encoding are selected. [ Development Fix ] Quantal's Rhythmbox has support for custom encoding settings. There, we've shipped the same set of "ubuntu-default" presets, but have set the default (in rhythmbox.gep) to use the user's selected custom settings. [ SRU fix notes ] We Break and Replace old transmageddons, which have a file conflict with this version. ** Thus, the Rhythmbox SRU MUST NOT be accepted, both into -proposed and -updates, without the transmageddon one. Otherwise we will introduce upgrade failures. ** [ Regression potential ] Perhaps the new settings will fail to apply and Rhythmbox will pick up a worse set than it had before. [ Testing ] Rip a CD with the new Rhythmbox with the default settings and determine that the quality and other encoder parameters are what they should be. [ Original Description ] This has been going on since 11.10 dev, maybe should be addressed In Edit > Preferences, on the Music tab the Settings button for Preferred Format is greyed out & unavailable. So there is no user available means to adjust encoding for vorbis, mp3, mp4, ect. Even using something like sound-juicer to change the very same 'Preferred.. ' is of no use, Rhythmbox doesn't use.
