Bug 106277 – gst-plugins-wavpack (new ebuild)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Asko Eronen 2005-09-17 07:37:06 UTC]

I need wavpack plugin for Gstreamer. Could it be added to portage? Gstreamer
should have it but it's not in portage.

[Comment 1 Asko Eronen 2005-09-21 01:00:54 UTC]

I'm under imperssion that wavpack plugin could be made easily. It should be
already in Gstreamer and it shouldn't have any dependencies with Wavpack package.

should work fine with a couple notes(and on more than x86, but I only have an
x86 to test with):
before this gets included in portage, to have it compile from /usr/local/portage
you need to ln -s /usr/portage/media-libs/gst-plugins in
/usr/local/portage/media-libs otherwise it won't be able to find what it needs
to inherit

secondly, this plugin currently crashes on any wavpack file that was encoded
with -h as an option

I get the error "!!! No package manifest found:
/usr/local/portage/media-plugins/gst-plugins-wavpack/Manifest"

How to fix this?

[Comment 5 Asko Eronen 2005-11-06 18:24:46 UTC]

I got the plugin to emerge, but Amarok isn't abel to play wavpack files.

[Comment 6 Asko Eronen 2005-11-10 14:24:28 UTC]

The wavpack plugin is installed, but no mather what encoder options I use,
Amaroc won't recognise the .wv file.

to play wavpack files by command line you have to use:
gst-launch-0.8 filesrc location=yourWavpackFile.wv ! wavpackparse ! wavpackdec !
osssink*
you should be able to use the following, but do to an error you can't:
gst-launch-ext-0.8 YourWavpackFile.wv

Thus Amarok can't currently play wavpack files because while gstreamer can play
wavpack files, it doesn't realize that it can.  This error should be corrected
in cvs and hopefully in gstreamer's next release if you don't want to try cvs.

Also, taglib, which what Amarok uses to decode tags, doesn't support wavpack, so
encourage the taglib developers to support wavpack if you want to be able to see
your tags in amarok when

[Comment 8 LMS 2005-11-11 15:52:29 UTC]

two other notes:
the crash on wavpack files encoded with -h has been fixed in cvs

and the newest wavpack (4.3) has a bug that causes this plugin to no longer function

gst-plugins-wavpack-0.10.1.ebuild

Here's the ebuild for gstreamer 0.10.x, wavpack is compiled from gst-plugins-bad.

[Comment 10 Kai Huuhko 2006-05-16 12:03:53 UTC]

gst-plugins-bad-0.10.3 in portage, please consider putting gst-plugins-wavpack in portage as well.

[Comment 11 Sergiy Borodych 2006-12-29 05:20:30 UTC]

media-plugins/gst-plugins-wavpack-0.10.4 is out
need update to it for work with new wavpack-4.40

[Comment 12 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2007-08-30 10:54:19 UTC]

Since gst-plugins-good 0.10.6 wavpack has been part of it, and it's now in Portage. Thanks for reporting.

[Comment 13 Sergiy Borodych 2008-06-29 20:31:10 UTC]

IMHO need add wavpack plugin to gst-plugins-meta
with "wavpack" USE flag
