mp3 profile does not show

Thank you for your bug. What version of Ubuntu do you use? Does it happen only with your user? That might be due to some user datas, the profile is correctly listed on my feisty desktop

I run Feisty too. I also have a vmware partition of feisty with a bit older files in it, and it seems that everything works there. But on my up to date laptop with feisty, I have the problem above.

I not only not getting the mp3 option on the combo box of sound-juicer, but the "Edit profiles" window freezes when I click to edit the mp3 options there. Maybe something got broken during the latest updates?

Does it really work for you? It doesn't here.

Works fine for on my desktop, the preferences profiles dialog lists the mp3 profile correctly. Marking unconfirmed, maybe somebody else gets the bug and can work on it

Wait, this is not right. I installed a second feisty on another laptop, and the same problem persists! The mp3 profile is listed correctly on gnome-audio-profiles, but NOT on sound-juicer's profiles. This is confirmed on two different machines, with all the latest Feisty updates.

Please note that UP to about last Tuesday, I would get the mp3 profile on sound-juicer too, but since then, it's gone! And when any profile is opening for editing through sound-juicer, then that window is frozen. However, the same window is not frozen when opened directly via gnome-audio-profiles from the command line.

BTW, I don't know if it's related, but i also get this:

eugenia@inspiron:~$ sound-juicer

(process:5923): GStreamer-WARNING **: The GStreamer function gst_init_get_option_group() was
        called, but the GLib threading system has not been initialised
        yet, something that must happen before any other GLib function
        is called. The application needs to be fixed so that it calls
           if (!g_thread_supported ()) g_thread_init(NULL);
        as very first thing in its main() function. Please file a bug
        against this application.

The bug might be due to a translation, what locale do you use?

I am using the US locale. The only thing I have done is to edit the mp3 profile to see if it was active. I clicked on the active checkbox and it got deactivated, and then I enabled it again. Then, poof, it has dissapeared from sound juicer. Screenshot attached showing how the profiles have a mp3 profile, but soundjuicer doesn't.

do you have any error on the command line when running it?

Do you have gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly installed? The profiles are listed now only when the required elements are available

No.

The no above was for an error, I don't get an error.

>Do you have gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly installed?

Yes.

what is the value of the /system/gstreamer/0.10/audio/profiles/mp3/active gconf key?

It is checked.

ok, I've no other idea on why it would not be listed then. I'll try with a new installation when testing the feisty beta CD

I found the problem. You don't include id3mux in the version of gstreamer-ugly that comes from the official Ubuntu repository and so Sound-juicer can NOT utilize the mp3 profile.

It works for you because you have a DIFFERENT gstreamer-ugly package installed, you have the multiverse version, not the official version! Please merge the two packages because they create confusion and ubuntu installs by default the limited one when mp3 is requested by Totem. If not, then please add id3mux on the ubuntu version of gstreamer-ugly.

The issue is not with id3mux (which is shipped with gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly), it's that mp3 encoding is patented so the lame code has to be moved to multiverse. Closing the bug, we can't move patented code to universe

But you do make it easier to playback mp3 and a lot of other formats. Aren't these patented?

decoding and encoding are the same topic, it's easier to distribute a decoder

This bug should definitely be reopened... I have this problem on both a machine with a fresh install and a machine which has had feisty reinstalled from a build on 8th April...

I need reopen this bug. I have the same.

I'm confused by the response to this bug. Is there some way to get the MP3 profile to actually show in the output formats dropdown? I tried installing gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse and even tried removing gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly (the universe version) but the profile still doesn't show even after restarting sound juicer.

I have installed gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse and gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly to get the profile. Both of them. If the profile doesn't show on yours, then this a brand new bug.

I have all of the relevant packages installed.

The Mp3 profile does not appear. Nor do any manual profiles I try to create.

Also, If I click the edit profiles button, then choose a profile and click edit the profile window which appears is frozen until the window behind it (profile manager) is closed.

This happens on three machines I have, Feisty final release with all updates.

These are all British English if it is a locality issue.

Yes, the frozen dialogs are easily reproducible.

the lock is bug #84007

Dunno if this'll help but I just used the code on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats which is:

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-pitfdll gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gxine libxine-main1 libxine-extracodecs ogle ogle-gui

that made the mp3s available in the format output box of sound-juicer. ( and installed some other stuff which might be useful )

Also a way around bug #84007 is to close the "Audio Profiles" dialog ( which appears in the bottom panel ). This makes the "Editing profile 'whatever'" dialog active.

that's not a bug then, there was a required plugin package not installed

that last sudo worked well for me. I had to restart sound-juicer, but the mp3 profile then appeared and worked. thank you!
