I'm stumped. Using the repo version, amarok will spit an error about missing ffmpeg to the console. No surprise there..
So I built my own version with the packages I mentioned, but I still cannot get the transcode window to appear even if I move flac's and wav files to my USB stick. However, this build of amarok does not complain about missing ffmpeg in console. I wish I could help more with this bug, but I'll admit I find the Amarok interface and the whole "collection" concept confusing and unintuitive. Amarok's lack of control over the transcode dialog is simply maddening. I should just be able to right-click a track and have a transcode option. I guess this is why I prefer Clementine for a "library" player... ** Changed in: amarok (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Confirmed ** Summary changed: - amarok needs to build-depend on libav packages for transcode support + amarok lacks transcode support -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1285729 Title: amarok lacks transcode support To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amarok/+bug/1285729/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
