Amarok 1.4.10 from AUR plays flac files with errors

amarok 1.4.10 from AUR plays flac files with errors and i mean that it plays flac files but with strange behavior and of course the result is awful is there any chance to fix that problem. i have compile it with xine engine, can i use a different engine in PKGBUILD and how. i should write that i don't known much from configure a PKGBUILD by my own. with exaile and totem i have no problem i also play flacs with 24bit and 96khz audio quality. tnks for your time

Why not amarok 2.3 from extra?
Found this but its for 2.3: forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=116&t=85428
looks like amarok just uses xine, which I don't know much about...
the 2.3 version depends on kde4, so you can run kde4 system settings and switch the multimedia backend between xine, mplayer, and gstreamer (need the aur packages first). I know mplayer should use ffmpeg to playback though.
Edit: looks like exaile and totem use gstreamer for playback

  • HT1711 How to play FLAC files with iTunes?

    How do you play FLAC music file with iTunes on a MacPro?

    Convert them to a format that is compatible with iTunes, such as aac, mp4, mp3, wav, etc.
    Then play your compatible music in iTunes on your MacPro.

  • Playing FLAC files in iTunes with Windows 7 OS.....is it possible?

    Are there any apps or hacks that anyone is aware of that will allow me to play FLAC files in iTunes?
    I do not want to convert my FLAC files to another format to use - it would be too difficult to synchronise the tags and song ratings from the mp3 files (or whatever formats itunes supports) back to my ''archived' FLAC files.
    Yet I really enjoy iTunes' playlist functions - no other players compare. I am hoping to have the best of both worlds: FLAC and iTunes cataloguing features. A search through the web and these forums makes me think it is not possible.
    Any links or suggestions? Or do I need to choose between FLAC and ITunes for realsies?

    Firstly, playing Flac in iTunes is an altogether different animal than playing them on your iOS device and is something you never asked about. For that you'll need to Google "Fluke FLAC" if you're still running Lion or older. If you're running a newer Mac OS I haven't yet heard of a solution for playing FLAC in iTunes and you'll have to resort to a third party app like Vox.
    For most FLAC playing iOS apps you'll add your music files via the "file sharing" section at the bottom of your Apps tab in iTunes when your iPod touch is plugged in. 
    As for Flac Player specifically the high price coupled with some reported problems I heard when looking into it had me steering clear so I can't offer first hand reports on THAT program.
    Since it sounds like you've been longing to play FLAC on your iPod touch for quite some time I was simply offering a bevvy of options to do just that I know of, including some free ones. 
    Hopefully someone will stumble across this thread and chime in with feedback about THAT app specifically for you.

  • Just upgraded an iMac with 4GB Memory and Intel Processor from 10.6.8 to Mavericks and Quicktime plays m4v files with stuttering audio

    I just upgraded an iMac with 4GB Memory and 3.33 Ghz  Intel Core Duo Processor from 10.6.8 to Mavericks.  I now have Quicktime 10.3 which plays m4v files with stuttering audio.  This is a nightmare as I use Quicktime a lot in my research.  I have seen similar threads but so far only reporting the problem.  For now I have installed Quicktime Player 10.7 (which appears in utilities, leaving Quicktime 10.3 in the main applications list) which plays the same videos with no problem, but it would be good to know if anyone has managed to find a workaround at all, or know if Apple have plans to do anything about it?

    Slow performance after installing Yosemite on an older Mac is often caused by inadequate memory. Although you can install the upgrade on a Mac with 2 GB of memory, experience has shown that at least 4 GB is needed for full performance.
    Select About This Mac from the Apple menu. If you have less than 4 GB of memory, and your model has upgradable memory, install as much as it can take, or at least that much. Any reputable RAM vendor will have a web form in which you can select the Mac model and be directed to compatible parts.

  • My QuickTime player us not playing .avi files and says I need a codec I can't play no .avi files on QuickTime. How could I fix this because I want to play these files with QuickTime.

    My QuickTime player us not playing .avi files and says I need a codec I can't play no .avi files on QuickTime. How could I fix this because I want to play these files with QuickTime.

    Hmm . . . comes with a Utility MPEG2 Component ML app with no explanation of what it's for?
    The utility app is an "assistant PKG installer." It allows Lion and Mountain Lion users to install the older QT MPEG-2 Playback Component installer PKG file which is not allowed to run on its own under Lion or Mountain Lion since these operating systems already have a QT X only MPEG-2 component embedded in the QT embedded structure. Without this utility you would have to either copy the component from an older system to your Lion or Mountain Lion system, use Pacifist for installation, or manually open the PKG contents and transfer the component to the appropriate component folder.
    As to your "discussion" regarding the playback of AVI file types, there are really only two strategies here:
    1) You can add component support so that QT can play the files natively or
    2) You can convert the file contents to compression formats that are natively compatible with the unmodified QT component configuration.
    Each user should decide for his or her own self which approach best suits their needs for a particular source file. In most cases, conforming the system's codec component configuration to play the source file directly results in higher video quality since no transcoding takes place but this strategy will not work if a codec which is required is not available for the user's operating system. On the other hand, converter utilities tend to support more built-in codecs and are easier to use since the user does not have to concern him or herself with the nature of the particular source compression formats but at the risk of some potential loss in visual quality. As to what converter to use, once again this is a matter of personal choice. In the case of commercial converters like iSkysoft, the codecs are built in while MPEG Streamclip accesses the host operating system's QT codec component configuration. I personally prefer the free HandBrake app for AVI, MKV, TS, MTS, and M2TS conversions since it has an exceptionally full-featured X.264 GUI with some user options that 97% of users are likely to never use.

  • How to open VLC wit JAVA and later play a file with it..?

    Hi,
    I do it if I want to Play a file with VLC:
    Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
              try {
                   rt.exec("C:\\Program Files\\VideoLAN\\VLC\\vlc " + "C:\\songs\\llarala.mp3");
              } catch (IOException e) {
                   // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                   e.printStackTrace();
    but I want to Open VLC and later work with this VLC opend, for example to Play a file with it. Anyone knows how to do it? Thanks.. I' m new about that..

    Keep working as you are is the simplest way. The VLC client (and server) has a pretty rich command-line interface, you can do pretty much anything through the command-line that you can with any other interface. Or there's the telnet interface, if all those processes are too much

  • Can CDHtmlDialog play swf file with audio component?

    Hello, I'm using CDHtmlDialog in our application to play swf that shows user how to do a workflow. It works fine if swf does NOT have audio; if the swf has audio component, then it does not play.
    Can CDHtmlDialog play swf with audio?
    If not, any suggestion on how to implement playing swf file with audio?
    Many thanks in davance.

    Hi PingHu,
    How do you play the swf file in a html. I tried play a swf file with audio in my CDHtmlDialog class. I just use this:
    Html code Play the SWF file.
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <body>
    <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="200" height="100">
    <param name="movie" value="filename.swf">
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent">
    <embed src="D:\html directory\swf filename.swf" width="400" height="500" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" />
    </object>
    </body>
    </html>
    Then my sample is able to play a SWF file with audio. Hope this helps some.

  • How to play flac files from a Maxtor external hard drive

    Trying to use an old mac mini PPC to play music from a Maxtor external hard drive. Files are flac format. Would like to move files to iTunes library individually or by album or ideally only when I want to play them. Am not that accustomed to using a Mac, just finding my way around...flac file conversion
    is possible for this old mac or do I need to download some freeware?

    If you want to convert your FLAC files (I would recommend to Apple Lossless format) then have a look at the free XLD software.
    See http://tmkk.pv.land.to/xld/index_e.html
    Apple Lossless format is the same exact quality as FLAC, roughly the same file size but works natively in iTunes and on Apple's iPod/iPhone/iPad devices. It can also be played in most Windows applications including Windows Media Player if you add the right plugins or codecs. Apple Lossless is a free open-source format now, just like FLAC.

  • Juk/xmms - playing flac files

    Hi
    When I try to run juk and ask it to scan folders it keeps crashing.  For some reason it doesnt like the FLAC files which is odd, because I've used Juk in the past with FLAC files.
    Here's the error:
    TagLib: FLAC::File::scan() -- FLAC stream not found
    KCrash: Application 'juk' crashing...
    The same applies to xmms.  I have the xnns-flac plugin enabled.
    I'm running Arch Beta.

    Thanks in advance.

  • [Help]Playing MP3 files with Juk have to wait for 1 hr to hear voice

    I am not sure how long should wait, but difinately longer than 10min. If you are playing a playlist, you have to wait a long time for next song...
    Observations:
    1. You can hear voice after all, that means the hardware and codec is working properly.
    2. You can play the mp3 file with smplayer without difficulty. that means the filesystem/storage hardware should'nt be problematic.
    3. When waiting for playing songs, the CPU usage of Juk is remaining on about 3%. I believe it is a reasonable value and does not indicating any problem of the program.
    Have anybody here got this problem before? Help!

    in case your phonon backend is gstreamer, change it to xine. that's what is recommended by amarok devs.

  • Play .3gp-files with JMF (jffmpeg)

    Hello,
    for a MMS-Application I'm trying to show 3gp-files with Java. I heard that it should work with jffmpeg but I still couldn't get it to work.
    I added the Codec:
    String JFFMPEG_VIDEO = "net.sourceforge.jffmpeg.VideoDecoder";
    try {
        Codec video = (Codec) Class.forName(JFFMPEG_VIDEO).newInstance();
        PlugInManager.addPlugIn(JFFMPEG_VIDEO,
                video.getSupportedInputFormats(),
                video.getSupportedOutputFormats(null),
                PlugInManager.CODEC);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }and then started the player.
    It already works for mpg-Videos, but if the file-extension is .3gp the player throws a javax.media.NoPlayerException: Cannot find a Player for : file://C:/test.3gp
    When I change the file-name to test.mpg the player initializes but doen't show a picture.
    How can I register the 3gp-extension? Or is anything else missing?
    Thanks in advance for any hint :-)

    I still didn't get it to work as I need it, but I made some progress so far:
    Instead of jffmpeg I used the FOBS for JMF Package (http://fobs.sourceforge.net/index.html) in addition with the JMF.
    Using this package allows you to play a 3gp-Video in Swing that is stored in your filesystem (!).
    I'm still having two problems with this solution:
    - I use a Java Webstart-framework and can't acces the user's harddisk, so I need to play the 3gp-Videos directly from memory (they are stored as byte[] in a database), but the current version of FOBS is limited to 3gp-Playback only from filesystem.
    - Each user of the application has to download and install JMF and FOBS for their OS (system-specific libraries). Especially FOBS is not always very easy to install, because it needs to change some of the jmf.properites. This can not be done with the JAR-distribution-System of WebStart and I'm expecting problems, when the users try to install both packages on their own.
    If you are developing a plain Swing-Application you might be satisfied with the possibilities of FOBS and JMF.
    Good luck :-)
