Bug 42673 – JuK won't play Ogg Vorbis files

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mario Doria 2004-02-23 17:21:53 UTC]

After emerging kdemultimedia-3.2.0 and installing JuK, it does not play Ogg Vorbis files.

As noted in the URL above, it seems to be fixed by a simple change, as follows:

     static const char flacType[] = "audio/x-flac";

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge kdemultimedia-3.2.0
2. Open JuK
3. Try to play a Ogg Vorbis file

Actual Results:  
The file won't appear in the playlist.

This seems to be a reappearance of Bug 30325 and http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64024 after juk was put into kdemultimedia...

[Comment 2 Dominik Stadler (RETIRED) 2004-03-20 10:49:54 UTC]

This is still present in KDE 3.2.1.

[Comment 3 Dominik Stadler (RETIRED) 2004-05-12 13:14:57 UTC]

From looking at the code this seems to be still present in KDE 3.2.2. I can play ogg-files from inside juk, but not from konqueror.

[Comment 4 Mario Doria 2004-05-20 09:57:42 UTC]

After reading the page I found this: http://www.vorbis.com/faq.psp. So JuK was right from the start, problem is it sometimes fails when playing ogg encoded files.

"What is the MIME content type for an Ogg Vorbis stream? 

application/ogg.

The official mimetype was approved in February 2003. The experimental application/x-ogg may still be out there, though. "

[Comment 5 Mario Doria 2004-12-01 21:53:38 UTC]

I found out that if the file I am trying to play, for example "music.ogg", DOES NOT have the ".ogg" extension, JuK will crash. If the file is in the format of "name.ogg", JuK will hapilly play it.
