Bug ID: 439105
Summary: Unable to play midi files even though using VLC
directly works
Product: Elisa
Version: 21.04.2
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: matthieu_gall...@yahoo.fr
Reporter: putr...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
As per the title, Elisa is unable to play midi files (no sound comes out),
although UI wise it looks normal. I have set up VLC to use FluidSynth, and
configured it to use a SoundFont file in my Music folder, so using it directly
to play the same midi files works fine.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install the FluidSynth plugin for VLC (I used vlc-plugin-fluidsynth-bin from
the AUR)
2. Configure it to use a SoundFont file
3. Try to play a midi file through Elisa
OBSERVED RESULT
No sound comes out.
EXPECTED RESULT
It should play normally, or if it is explicitly not supported it should be
hidden from the library and/or an error message should be displayed.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.83.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
When running Elisa from the terminal, this shows up, even though I have
followed the procedure it outlines (VLC by itself works fine):
[00007ff7a4024410] fluidsynth decoder error: sound font file required for
synthesis
[00007ff7a4024410] main decoder error: MIDI synthesis not set up
[00007ff7a4024410] main decoder error: A sound font file (.SF2) is required for
MIDI synthesis.
Please install a sound font and configure it from the VLC preferences (Input /
Codecs > Audio codecs > FluidSynth).
[00007ff7a4024410] main decoder error: Codec `MIDI' (MIDI Audio) is not
supported.
[00007ff7a4024410] main decoder error: Codec not supported
[00007ff7a4024410] main decoder error: VLC could not decode the format "MIDI"
