Description georgehu 2009-07-10 18:55:39 UTC 
I don't know why it's so complicate in linux here, all I want is able to click on file named "music.cue" and it can automatically fire up rhythembox and play the corresponding ape or flac files. Depends on what is instructed in the cue file. I tried rhythembox bug list but It is said a upstream problem so I create here.
Comment 1 Tim-Philipp Müller 2009-07-10 19:30:08 UTC 
This isn't really complicated 'on linux', just not supported by rhythmbox or totem yet (afaik). There's no reason why these applications can't add support for that yet.

It might be desirable to do this in GStreamer as well at some point, but it's really part of a bigger issue (playlist support etc.) and requires more effort and thought to get the right framework/API.

Apps currently do playlist processing themselves, so they should also do .cue file handling themselves. Don't expect a fix in GStreamer anytime soon, especially since the .cue file name isn't even congruent with the song filenames but may be completely different, which makes it even harder from a gst point of view.

Regarding the format of the files:

Comment 4 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2012-09-03 11:12:06 UTC 
This bug is 3 years old now. Any progress in relation to playlist support in gstreamer? I mean "the right framework/API"?

Now GStreamer has TOC API. Read more about it here:
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer/html/gstreamer-GstToc.html

Also GStreamer already has TOC support (support embedded cuesheets) in FLAC format. Read more about it here: bug #540891
Comment 6 Tim-Philipp Müller 2013-03-16 14:21:39 UTC 
Retitling and moving to audioparsers for now, though exact mechanisms how to best implement this will still need to be figured out.
Comment 7 Edward Hervey 2018-05-04 11:33:47 UTC 
External cue sheets are essentially playlist and should be handled as such.

Marking this as a duplicate of the generic playlist support bug.
