I'm unable to view or edit metadata for any of my audio files (.flac, .m4a) with Kid3 3.3.1. Also there are no plugins listed in "Settings->Configure Kid3->Plugins".

may this be related to plugins, being not detected correctly? i do not see a single plugin in kid3 settings.
FYI, I'm having the same problem. Same symptoms described by both previous commenters. So far no luck troubleshooting.
So... still having this problem. I've tried downgrading to 3.2.1-r1, but get the exact same behavior. I tried downgrading to 3.1.2, which was the version I was using before this upgrade, I can no longer build it. The configure terminates with the snippet posted at the end (I can include the full logs if requested; not doing so now since this is tangential to the bug report). I'm running kde/plasma 5, using the keywords files from the kde overlay. I just did a full system update, revdep-rebuild, etc., and I'm still unable to find anything that should be causing this. Anyone else have any better luck?

Here's a "me too". There are a number of plugins installed into /usr/lib64/qt4/plugins/kid3. But according to `strace -e file kid3`, it never looks in there. I couldn't find any mentioning of "kid3" in the strace output that wasn't "kid3rc". I'm still on stable KDE4, amd64.
I do not have a Gentoo installation, but I think that I found the problem: In files/kid3-3.2.1-libdir.patch, there is a line at the bottom which sets the WITH_PLUGINSDIR CMake variable: + set(WITH_PLUGINSDIR "${WITH_LIBDIR_DEFAULT}/${QTVER}/plugins/kid3") This will modify the original CMakeLists.txt around line 400. The problem here is that the variable WITH_PLUGINSDIR is used before at line 203: file(RELATIVE_PATH CFG_PLUGINSDIR /${WITH_BINDIR} /${WITH_PLUGINSDIR}) This sets the variable CFG_PLUGINSDIR to a path to the plugins directory relative to the directory where the kid3 binary is located. This variable will then be used to generate the header file config.h with a #define CFG_PLUGINSDIR, which is used at runtime to locate the plugins. In the current situation, CFG_PLUGINSDIR and the later modified WITH_PLUGINSDIR (which is used to install the plugins) use different directories, the plugins will not be searched where they are installed. To fix this, I would recommend to remove this kid3-3.2.1-libdir.patch. It only modifies CMake variables which can be passed to cmake, so in the kid3-3.3.1.ebuild remove the line PATCHES=( "${FILESDIR}/${PN}-3.2.1-libdir.patch" ) and add additional cmake variable definitions after "-DWITH_QT5=OFF": -DWITH_LIBDIR=lib$LIB_SUFFIX -DWITH_PLUGINSDIR=lib$LIB_SUFFIX/qt4/plugins/kid3 This should do the same thing as the patch, but as I said, I could not test it, and I am not sure if LIB_SUFFIX is set and if it can be used like this in the ebuild.
(In reply to Gramiel from comment #7) > I do not have a Gentoo installation, but I think that I found the problem: Wow, thanks for the suggestion. I just tried it out and it seems to work fine. I've not tested exhaustively, but tags do show up now and the plugins display in the settings. I'll give it a more thorough test later (including actually modifying tags) and report back if there are any negative results. Thanks, Gramiel. Greatly appreciate the help.
Yep, it works great. Had to reset some preferences (looks like this version switched over to KDE Frameworks 5 and it didn't migrate the KDE 4 settings), but otherwise everything is working as expected. Thanks again for the help.
Created attachment 428382 [details, diff] modified libdir.patch kid3 would not compile for me with Gramiels solution, so I modified the patch. Getting rid of the patch would be a better way to fix this.
