GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 532561
Cannot import .oga/.ogv Vorbis files
Last modified: 2008-11-21 15:28:19 UTC
I have changed all of my .ogg Vorbis files to the newer extension .oga and Banshee beta will not add them to the library. I also believe Banshee should rip Vorbis files to .oga from now on. Source link: http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/MIME_Types_and_File_Extensions
Same goes with .ogv for video files, Banshee will not import them with that extension.
I added oga and ogv extensions to the white list extension mask. Not sure about ripping to oga. Most people just use ogg so it might be a strange change. These are two separate issues so if you feel passionate about the oga thing, file a separate bug please. At the very least you could write a Boo script to enforce oga extensions when ripping.
In fact, since I'm always looking for an opportunity to write sample Boo scripts, here's one for you: http://svn.gnome.org/svn/banshee/trunk/banshee/src/Extensions/Banshee.BooScript/Resources/vorbis-oga-extension.boo You need a fairly new Boo, Banshee must built with the Boo extension, and you need to enable the Boo extension in the Preferences dialog (it is not enabled by default, even if it gets built). If you place the script I linked into ~/.config/banshee-1/boo-scripts/ it will be run by our Boo scripting extension and you'll notice that when you rip CDs, the file extension will be .oga.

I can confirm that importing .oga's still doesn't work. I think this is actually a bug in taglib#. I'm working to confirm that..
Do we still need a separate bug for ogv or will this cover that too now?
It's the exact same issue/fix, so let's keep it together.
Confirmed it's a bug in taglib#, closing this, opening in taglib# - see http://forum.taglib-sharp.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=276&p=821#p821

I just wanted to say that I can now import and listen to .oga Vorbis files in Banshee 1.4.1 on Ubuntu (Intrepid Ibex). I have not tried importing or watching .ogv video files though. Also, when ripping a CD in Banshee 1.4.1 to Vorbis, Banshee still rips to .ogg rather than the preferred .oga extension by default. There is the Boo plugin that Arron made, but I personally think Banshee should rip to .oga by default, since that is the preferred extension for Vorbis audio files now.
