Bug#592726: please use libmp3lame in the mp3 plugin instead of the lame frontend

[Fabian Greffrath]

Package: kdemultimedia-kio-plugins
Version: 4:4.4.5-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

as it seems, the mp3 plugin in 
/usr/lib/kde4/libaudiocd_encoder_lame.so currently relies on the 
existence of the lame frontend in /usr/bin/lame instead of using the 
libmp3lame shared library which is available for ages. The problem 
with this approach is that in order for this plugin to work, the lame 
frontend must not be compiled with libsndfile support, c.f. [1] and [2].


However, losing libsndfile support for the frontend is a pity, since 
it allows for a much wider range of input formats. So instead of 
relying on a command line frontend in /usr/bin (and furthrmore relying 
on specific compile time options for it to work properly), the mp3 
plugin should e.g. dlopen() the libmp3lame library.


This way it will work when the library is installed and not if the 
library is absent - just as it is now with the frontend, but without 
the libsndfile compatiblity issue.


Cheers,
Fabian

Bug#592726: Acknowledgement (please use libmp3lame in the mp3 plugin instead of the lame frontend)

[Fabian Greffrath]

BTW, the lame encoder plugin has been rewritten in May 2005.

SVN commit 417210 by bmeyer:

Completely new mp3 (lame) encoder that uses KProcess and outputs the 
results to a temorary file so *finally* the Xing tag can be set.  This 
is also the beginings of the new encoder(s) for audiocd which will 
finally produce the merger of KAudioCreator and audiocd (and perhaps 
Juk?).


BUG:79235


 M  +216 -527  encoderlame.cpp
 M  +36 -35encoderlame.h

The background was that the lame_mp3_tags_fid() function of 
libmp3lame, which appends a Xing VBR tag to the mp3 file, could not be 
called, as thw target is not a regular file. I don't know if this 
situation has changed fundamentally within the last five years, but 
maybe it's worth at look at .


Cheers,
Fabian

Bug#592744: dragonplayer doesn't play dvd

[Oliver Sander]

Package: dragonplayer
Version: 4:4.4.5-1
Severity: normal

When I insert a DVD, the KDE device manager applet suggests that
I use dragonplayer to play it.  When I pick dragonplayer, the player
opens.  I click on 'Play CD/DVD' but nothing happens.

It's the same when I start the player from the konsole.  Then I
additionally get the error messages

dragonplayer(2421)/kdeui (kdelibs): Attempt to use QAction 
"aspect_ratio_menu" with KXMLGUIFactory!
dragonplayer(2421)/kdeui (kdelibs): Attempt to use QAction 
"audio_channels_menu" with KXMLGUIFactory!
dragonplayer(2421)/kdeui (kdelibs): Attempt to use QAction 
"subtitle_channels_menu" with KXMLGUIFactory!


Please prompt me for more information, if needed.
