Bug 83677 – Xmms doesn't install mpg123 by default or with mp3 USE flag

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Tim Leslie 2005-03-01 05:47:30 UTC]

Upgraded from xmms last night to 1.2.10-r13. Previos versions automatically installed all relevant plugins. New version uses IUse flags.

mpg123 plugin is *not* installed, either by default (I wasn't aware of the mp3 use flag until this) or with the mp3 flag. Also, changing the mp3 flag does not get caught by emerge --newuse.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade xmms from previous version
2. Attempt to play mp3
3. Watch it complain as it can't find the decoder plugin and won't add your mp3 to the playlist

Actual Results:  
Xmms won't play my frickin' file like it did previously.

Expected Results:  
Played my mp3 file with the installed plugin.

--- I *did* try it with mp3 in the use flags.

[Comment 1 Roland Bär 2005-03-01 06:31:30 UTC]

You should have "mp3" to enable a mp3 plugin.
When you have "mad" also set, then it chooses media-plugins/xmms-mad for that.
Unsetting "mad" it will emerge media-plugins/xmms-mpg123 instead.

So more likely the xmms-mad is broken....

[Comment 2 Tim Leslie 2005-03-01 06:58:20 UTC]

Re-emerging the file enough times eventually got it to work --the note that this new xmms doesn't include some plugins should also include the mp3 plugin. Marking as Invalid.
