K3B "mp3 audio decoder plugin not found" audio cd support

Message

When I launch k3b I get this error...
"MP3 Audio Decoder plugin not found"

This is the function of writing mp3s into an audio cd.

I'm trying to figure out how to fix this error.

I've rebuilt k3b with and without ffmpeg, libav, whatever combination, same error.

Code: Select all

m17xr3 ~ # emerge -Dav k3b

 * IMPORTANT: 16 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

[ebuild   R   *] app-cdr/k3b-9999:5::kde  USE="dvd encode ffmpeg* flac handbook libav mad mp3 musepack sndfile sox* taglib vcd vorbis -debug -emovix {-test}" 0 KiB

Also, I'm using k3b-9999 because I'm running Plasma 5 / @kde-next-live overlay.
This error I believe has nothing to do with it being a live build.

----------------

What do I need to do to fix this and enable mp3 audio cd support?

I have practically every audio/media related USE flag in my make.conf

BTW, I'm using the default non-desktop profile as both plasma & kde desktop profiles were pulling in KDE4.

------------------

Any ideas what's going on?
Is this a license issue and gentoo has mp3 disabled or what?

------------------

I do have one issue,
required dependency kdenlive is not merged (error with needing mlt version higher than available)

I'm not sure if I had to use keep-going to get k3b to build or whether I had different use flags.

Does kdenlive have anything to do with this mp3 decoder problem?

You need the mp3 decoding libraries.

https://packages.gentoo.org/

But i don´t see any libs here.

As I remember mp3 was invented by Fraunhofer Institute.

this is a duplicate of my post

https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1 ... ight-.html

and it is a won t fix anyway.

same issue. i still have k3b on my box form kde-overlay.

kde overlay belongs to unsupported. k3b is broken in portage and from this overlay.
portage k3b can not handle proper m4a files
k3b from kde overlay can not handle m4a, mp3 ...

broken ffmpeg. won t fix.

when you want ot create audio cds, you can use gnomebaker from portage, that worked a few hours ago for myself. there are other ways also ...

libmad is not proper handled by kde overlay k3b. but its build form git. so he may report it to the kde devs, as k3b is buggy anyway and so many open bugs regarding k3b i gave up...

libmad => mp3 plugin for k3b ...

I should have libmad installed as I am using the 'mad' use flag.

As for previous poster saying to just give up its not going to work... there has to be a reasonable explanation of this.
-- I tried to see if this is an issues in Arch Linux, k3b works fine (though I'm not sure of the actual version)

---------------

How else am I suppose to use K3B other than using k3b-9999.... I wish to use all qt5, plasma 5 and related applications.
Plasma 5 is not new, its been around for a while now and the relatively slow ported of applications to Plasma 5 is disappointing.

You can download the source code for mp3 decoding somewhere in the internet.

mp3 decoder source code

Isn't that the job of Portage and setting the proper USE Flags?

Even if I did have to manually create an ebuild file, is there something missing from portage causing this?

So what I am hearing is Portage is installing libmad/mad but not including a plugin, even though the USE flags are set correctly and in all accounts should work?
-- Is there a dev or group handling the libmad portage section that I should contact about this issue?

First of all you use Git code from kde overlay. so its unsupported. I wonder why its not moved to unsupported area.

And you compile from git? No wonder the app does not work. Why should it?

When you want to change that, you need to check the ebuild in question from kde-overlany and submit a bug at bugs.kde.org (i think thats the url)...

and why do you compare it with arch -linux.

does arch linux pull these days everything on a daily basis from git? i doubt, i used arch linux for quite a while and that was not git stuff in the arch repository...

you compare apples with bananas

arch repository VS git tree from kde development which is beeing made available with kde overlay, unsupported ebuilds, in the first place!

That stuff is unfixable. I wont bother again ever with unproven git code from any dev... They change on a daily basis stuff, so you just waste your time.

To quote myself from the other topic, about the same issue:

portage ebuild: mad useflag for mp3
kde overlay ebuild: mp3 useflag for mp3
both utilize ffmpeg and / or libmad ... for that feature ...

My point is this seems to be a common error and not related to k3b being -9999 but rather how gentoo is configured.

I'll try k3b-15.x and see if I have the same issue.

Hm, KDE4 is finely co installable with Plasma5

k3b works fine and burn audio CDs from MP3

(excuse please my bad english)

portage k3b: try m4a audio files, and you better use a rewriteable disc, as the audio gets gargage... gentoo bug was closed => upstream and i neiver reported it upstreams ..
