Cannot import .mp3 files via Dropbox in Ubuntu #725

Closed WMTH closed 3 years ago

WMTH commented 3 years ago

.mp3 files cannot be imported via a Dropbox in Ubuntu builds. .wav files are imported normally. This behavior is exhibited in Ubuntu builds only; import of .mp3 files in CentOS7 builds function normally.

Unable to reproduce the problem here.

Some things to check in your setup:

  1. After running './configure', you should be seeing the following line in the Audio Codecs section of the RIVENDELL CONFIGURATION SUMMARY: MPEG Decoding Support ... Yes.
  2. Go into RDAdmin->ManageHosts->[hostname]->AudioResources and look in the 'SUPPORTED IMPORT FORMATS' section. You should see 'MPEG Layer 3' listed there.

If you're missing either of these items, then you're likely missing a dependency. The necessary packages for MP3 import support on Ubuntu are 'libmad0-dev' and 'libmad0`. If you're missing either of these, then install them and then re-configure and re-build Rivendell.

I have traced this down and determined that if M4A support is included, the mp3 imports will fail with an "audio converter error" message. Uninstalling faad-2 and mp4v2 code remediates the issue. Notes:

  1. The "--disable-mp4" flag is non-functional in configure
  2. M4A support works in CentOS7 builds

Downgraded mp4v2-2.1.0 to mp4v2-2.0.0, re-compiled Rivendell and problem remediated.
