K3b - STILL "MP3 Audio decoder not found" (13.1)

After hours of tinkering and researching the problem, I still get “MP3 Audio decoder plugin not found” window on startup and can’t create AudioCD from mp3s.

Here’s what I have:

Summary     : An MPEG audio decoder library
Description :
MAD is a high-quality MPEG audio decoder. It currently supports MPEG-1
and the MPEG-2 extension to Lower Sampling Frequencies, as well as the
so-called MPEG 2.5 format. All three audio layers (Layer I, Layer II,
and Layer III a.k.a. MP3) are fully implemented.


MAD supports high quality 24-bit PCM output for modern audio
technologies. MAD computes using 100% fixed-point (integer)
computation, so you can run it without a floating point unit.

Highlighting is mine.

I’m not new to OpenSUSE, I had 10.3, 11.2, 12.2, now 13.1 (and all that after Mandrake 10 and Mandriva). Before 13.1 I easily solved the problem. Now what?

#2

No problems here
Did you follow
https://forums.opensuse.org/entry.php/149-openSUSE-13-1-Multi-media-and-Restricted-Format-Installation-Guide
Have you used the switcher on Packman

#3

Apparently it can open /usr/lib64/kde4/k3bmaddecoder.so so it actually should work. And it does work fine here.
Maybe running “kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental” would help?
Or try to remove k3b’s configuration file ~/.kde4/share/config/k3brc.

Are you using the proprietary nvidia driver maybe? The latest version 331.20 is known to cause interesting problems. But I have no idea if it could cause this as well.

#4

Switching all packages to Packman didn’t help. Most of multimedia packs were from there anyway, as I wrote, I’m not new to OpenSuse.
After some more testing:
The ‘packman’ version of K3b could’t create audiocd even from WAV. And it shows nothing in “Setting > Configure K3b > Plugins”. Apparently it can’t find it’s plugins.
Worse, after switching to Packman, now I have this:

And the problem looks to be the same kind - plugins:

Looks related. I’ll dig more and try the suggested in this thread:
https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/493295-amarok-error-2
BTW, I am using NVIDIA 331.20. If everything else fails, I’ll try this line of investigation.

Well, and which version of KDE do you have installed, and from what repo?

Apparently you have a mix of incompatible packages.

#6

Updating KDE from 4.11.2 to 4.11.3 fixed both K3b and Amarok.
The switch of more packs to ‘Packman’, which initially broke Amarok, pointed me in the right direction.
Thanks for the suggestions, people.
