K3B 1.66 from OBS KDE:KDE4:Playground has no codecs package

mliddle · #1 (**permalink**) 27-Jun-2009, 10:36

Hi there,

I just installed K3B from the OSB KDE:KDE4

layground repo, and when I start up I get the following message:

-------------------------------------------------
Mp3 Audio Decoder plugin not found.
K3b could not load or find the Mp3 decoder plugin. This means that you will not be able to create Audio CDs from Mp3 files. Many Linux distributions do not include Mp3 support for legal reasons.
Solution: To enable Mp3 support, please install the MAD Mp3 decoding library as well as the K3b MAD Mp3 decoder plugin (the latter may already be installed but not functional due to the missing libmad). Some distributions allow installation of Mp3 support via an online update tool (e.g. SuSE's YOU).
-------------------------------------------------

I have libmad installed, but the old k3b-codecs package only exists for the old KDE3 version.

Does anyone out there know what's up with this?

you can get the codecs from:-

PackMan :: Package details for kde4-k3b

Hm I don't get that package listed when I search for k3b in either zypper or YaST (I have the Packman repository enabled, using the Index of / mirror). Does that mean that the mirror is busted?

Ah, it's only there for 11.1, but I'm using 11.0, sorry. Should have said...

From a terminal do

Code:

zypper lr --details

Yikes.
To be honest it's a wonder you don't all manner of conflicts with that repo setup.

k3b-codecs is avail in Packman I just checked. Problem is you have all yout repo priorities in mess.

Try this from a su terminal:

Code:

zypper in Packman_Repository:k3b-codecs

If this doesn't work try the next one below.

Code:

zypper in Packman Repository:k3b-codecs

Hi caf4926,

Thanks for your help, but it's actually the kde4-k3b-codecs package that I need. As I said in an earlier post its present for 11.1, but not 11.0. If you look in the following dir:

Code:

http://packman.jacobs-university.de/suse/11.1/i586/

that package is present. Unfortunately I'm running openSUSE 11.0, and as you'll see in here:

Code:

http://packman.jacobs-university.de/suse/11.0/i586/

no kde4-k3b-codecs

I don't know why this is...

I guess since I have the version of K3B installed from KDE:KDE4

layground:

Code:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Playground/openSUSE_11.1_KDE4_Factory_Desktop/i586/

I'm wondering why there's no k3b-codecs package in there (neither for 11.0 or 11.1)? Perhaps no one's got around to it yet...

Thanks,
Mike.

P.S. Yeah there are quite a few repos, but I rarely get conflicts (and if I'm not wrong this isn't a conflict either

), 'cause of the priorities...
