GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 127636
[patch] output format options are hard coded
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
As filed in Red Hat Bugzilla: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=108405 The "Output Format" widgets (Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, MP3 and Wave) are hard coded, so that they appear as valid choices even if those gstreamer plugins are not installed. Both FLAC and MP3 plugins are in the gstreamer-plugin-extras packages which does not ship with Fedora. I'm attaching a proposed patch that queries gstreamer to see if the plugins are installed. If they are not, the widgets are then disabled. On a related subject, the "Output Format" options may be better presented in a GtkOptionMenu instead of a 2x2 grid of GtkRadioButtons. It would more closely match the "Directory Hierarchy" and "File Name" GtkOptionMenu widgets if it were an OptionMenu.
Created attachment 21688 [details] [review] proposed patch to desensitize widgets for encodings that are not installed
ping?
I already fixed that a long time ago, I believe. Did you re-run gst-register after installing the new plugin?
Bastien: All I can tell is that sound-juicer out of CVS has all encoding options sensitized even though I don't have gstreamer-plugins-extras installed.
I must have been doing something wrong...s-j out of cvs does the detection correctly without needing my patch. Looks like Bastien added that code on Sept. 1. Anyway, sorry for the fuss. Closing this report now.
