Bug 330737

Summary:	app-pda/gtkpod fails to convert oggs (due to lame regression?)
Product:	Gentoo Linux	Reporter:	regomodo <regomodo>
Component:	Current packages	Assignee:	Olivier Crete (RETIRED) <tester>
Status:	RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
Severity:	normal	CC:	pda, xmw
Priority:	High
Version:	unspecified
Hardware:	All
OS:	Linux
Whiteboard:
Package list:		Runtime testing required:	---

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

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"

Still same with gtkpod-2.1.0 and lame-3.99?
