Description regomodo 2010-08-01 18:25:39 UTC
Even if the ogg USE-flag is enabled the script "/usr/share/gtkpod/scripts/convert-2mp3.sh" fails. This is caused by lame which gtkpod requires; Lame seems to have stealthily deprecated ogg support.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to add an ogg file in gtkpod
2. Watch it fail
3.



Expected Results:  
Converted the ogg file to mp3 with no fuss.

bug wranglers should fix summary to include category & assign it to gtkpod maintainers, not a sound@ bug

sry for the noise, i thought sound@ would like to take a look at this first.

Try gtkpod-1.0.0
Comment 4 regomodo 2010-11-02 23:15:58 UTC
Bug still remains. gtkpod-1.0.0's convert-2mp3.sh script still uses lame which no longer support's ogg.
Comment 5 regomodo 2010-12-06 23:15:46 UTC
Had another look. It appears gtkpod-1.0 uses a decoder for oggs which is piped into lame.

By going through the gtkpod-convert-common.sh and convert-2mp3.sh scripts the equivalent command is

oggdec --output - -- ${OGGFILE} | lame --preset standard - ${MP3FILE}

Trying this with a oggfile which converts fine with ffmpeg the result is:


$ oggdec --output - -- cherub\ rock.ogg | lame --preset standard - cherub.mp3
Decoding "cherub rock.ogg" to "standard output"
  [  0.0%]LAME 3.98.2 64bits (http://www.mp3dev.org/)
Using polyphase lowpass filter, transition band: 18671 Hz - 19205 Hz

Still same with gtkpod-2.1.0 and lame-3.99?
