Bug 200243 – media-sound/moc will not play mp3s

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description James Laver 2007-11-24 23:25:41 UTC]

...despite the documentation saying all you need is libmad and libid3tag.

Without these the files would not show up in moc.

So i gave it the 'mad' USE flag and it pulled in libid3tag and it actually showed up the mp3 files this time. Yet when going to play it...:

Can't get decoder for /path/to/file.mp3

I'm using 2.5.0_alpha2 with these USE flags: alsa curl -debug ffmpeg flac -jack libsamplerate mad -modplug musepack -sid sndfile -speex -timidity vorbis -wavpack

[Comment 1 James Laver 2007-11-24 23:26:53 UTC]

Oh, forgot to mention this showed up with 2.4.1 as well, so it's not a version issue.

And the '2.5 alpha' version i'm on is now stable (and yet 2.4.2 is ~amd64....)

[Comment 2 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2007-11-24 23:40:33 UTC]

/usr/lib64/moc/decoder_plugins/libmp3_decoder.so
/usr/lib64/moc/decoder_plugins/libmp3_decoder.la

Or just lib on 32bit, but you never posted "emerge --info" so hard to tell.

These get installed with USE="mad" and play mp3s.

Also need entire configure & build log to see if something went wrong.

Those are present.

Created attachment 136943 [details]
The log of the moc build

Here is the output for the entire build

[Comment 5 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2007-11-25 17:18:16 UTC]

I can't see anything wrong in the build log, and continues to work here on amd64, ~amd64 and ~x86. You could try removing insane flags "mfpmath=sse -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs" but I doubt it.

Does "objdump -p /usr/lib64/moc/decoder_plugins/libmp3_decoder.so | grep NEEDED" print also libmad?

[Comment 6 James Laver 2007-11-25 17:41:51 UTC]

Yes, I get libmad.so.0

revdep-rebuild didn't pick anything up and libmad.so.0 exists so doesn't appear to be a soname issue... hrm...

[Comment 7 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2008-03-01 10:36:22 UTC]

Try 2.5.0_alpha3, it contains all the fixes from upstream "stable" series rel. 2.4.3 too.
