audiokonverter + KDE 4

English Multimedia
1

Hi

Recently I upgraded to 11.1 from 11.0 (this one had also konqueror 3.5 + audiokonverter, and it worked perfectly).

I have installed audiokonverter for KDE4 and the installation had no problem…but…it does not work.
When I open the submenus to convert to any format and launch audiokonverter, the terminal window opens and then closes immediately (impossible to read anything).

Any idea about what’s wrong??? I’ve got lots of files to convert, so I am eagerly waiting for the solution.

Thanks in advance.

i don’t have this working either and have not had time to look into it. I just used jripper.
Not much help I know, sorry.

works fine for me.

if you have (say) a wave file if you right-click on it is there not an option to convert the file?

4

No right click context menu offered.

If the terminal windows closes instantly, you should try what happens if you open a new cli window and run the script directly on a file.

6

Ok. I will try, but please tell me what should I write to run the script.

Oh, and for me the right click context menu does display, but the problem is that it launches the script but immediately closes.

I did have a similar problem with audiokonverter on kde3 once - in that the settings didn’t take. To check to see if this is the problem - can you set up a new user and see if audiokonverter works for the the new user.

I assume that the scripts anytowav, audioconvert, movie2sound, oggdrop-lxare installed to


/usr/share/kde4/bin

.
If they aren’t there type


rpm -qa --fileprovide | grep audiokonverter

. It’ll show you the patches containing audiokonverter from the rpm database. Try to run one from the scripts, example anytowav. It requires just one parameter (the source file).
Hope that helps.

I can’t even install audiokonverter becoz of some conflict. It says some requirement can’t be provided… I’m using kde 4.1.3.

You should add the Packman repository.
Additional YaST Package Repositories - openSUSE - select one mirror.
Please post here the list of requirements from the error message.

I tried to install from packman repository only… it shows architectural change of libfaac0-1.26-15.53.i686 to libfaac0-1.28-0.pm.0.i586 and install with vendor change. Video LAN Project as one option

Well, I have not been able to make audiokonverter work as I wanted to. I will have to investigate more about it.

In spite of that I have installed PACPL-CONVERT which works very well within Konqueror. Apart from that jRipper also works very nicely. Any of both can do what I needed.
