GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 41499
Ogg Vorbis support
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Support the new "Free" (as in speech) audio codec that is destined to replace MP3 :) There is an XMMS plug-in for it, so hopefully it'll be easy to implement/add in the Nautilus view. Here are some URL's with related info: http://www.vorbis.com/index.html http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/index.html ------- Additional Comments From andy@eazel.com 2000-06-28 01:18:52 ---- this would be nice, but we have to defer it unless someone outside Eazel wants to do it. We would also like to support .wav, which is pretty straight-forward. ------- Additional Comments From aliabdin@aucegypt.edu 2000-10-01 04:55:05 ---- I started taking a look at this. I was gonna just use libvorbis, then realized we do not really have a way to 'output' the sound (there is oss vs. esd vs. alsa etc.) - I look at what 'ogg123' uses - It uses a library called 'libao' (audio output library). libao supports output targets: 'esd', 'alsa', 'oss', 'wav', and 'null'. I decided thought it would be probably be better/easier to just use ogg123 (then we can just 'emulate' mpg123 support). Anyway, ogg123 is not mature enough yet, so I submitted patches to the author to implement the '--quiet' and '--skip' command line arguments (--quiet so we can parse easier and --skip so we can do seeking). I can probably take another look at Ogg support once these patches go into ogg123 ------- Additional Comments From aliabdin@aucegypt.edu 2000-10-15 02:52:26 ---- Stealing this bug since I'm working on it and have a bunch of it done already. I got Sound Preview done, and the metadata displays correctly in 'View as Music'. The only thing left is the actual playing of the song in 'View as Music' ------- Additional Comments From aliabdin@aucegypt.edu 2000-10-22 02:54:56 ---- I am now in the process of feeding ramrio various packages to go into eazel- hacking. We still have a mime-type issue which mjs is trying to resolve. The actual code for it is "done". ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2001-09-09 20:33 -------
Changing to "old" target milestone for all bugs laying around with no milestone set.
Marking future. Alex says the actual code is very mp3 dependent. This is something that should really be implemented in the future with gstreamer.
*** Bug 76336 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
marking as a dupe of 82345 which has a patch that ports the music view to use monkey media which is a a thin abstraction layer to gstreamer which will solve all our problems :) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 82345 ***
