IDJC MP3 Playback problem

[Wizkid]

Binary package hint: idjc

When adding a MP3 file to IDJC's Playlist the file does not show up in the playlist window were you can play it. OGG files does show up and are playable but MP3 files do not. (I do have all codecs installed from the Ubuntu repos and is playable threw Totem & xmms)

This is a problem with Ubuntu 7.10 Gusty

[Ruy (ruy-jol)]

this is happening to me too,

oog and wav is allowed, but not mp3... :S
also using ubuntu 7.10

[Luis del campo (delcampo)]

In fact, this problem is with idjc 0.6.12. on Gutsy.
The problem no exist with the version 0.7.0. Only one time I can to get to "configure and make" in this last versión, but I no remember the way!... and I no have these Ubuntu, because was loosed when the hd was formated.
Now on my new ubuntu instalation only I can to run the 0.6.12.
:(

I have just upgraded IDJC to version 0.7.0-1 from 0.6.12 and the MP3 playback problem has been solved in the newest version. You can download it at http://mirror.ne.gov/ubuntu/pool/universe/i/idjc/idjc_0.7.0-1_i386.deb

MP3 pPlayback is now enabled, but your 0.7.0-1 version does not support mp3 streaming

[Francisco de la Peña (fdelapena)]

About the mp3 encoding: I found this in the 0.7.1 changelog:

- Build system fix for Ubuntu 7.10 regarding problems detecting libmp3lame.

A new patched package would be fine

[FloLiebgott (linux-flolie)]

Thanks for the package, Wizkid!
mp3-playback works now. But at first, all mp3s had the length 0:00. Because of this, seeking didn't work and the commands in the playlist were executed at the beginning of the previous track.
Solution: I installed the package eyed3 and now everything works fine.

[Risto H. Kurppa (risto.kurppa)]

Have you been able to get mp3 streaming work?

[Sven Hoffmeister (schaumkeks)]

Ok, 0.7.0-1 from hardy gives MP3 playback but takes MP3 streaming.

I found this in the source diff:

As you can see lameenabled is changed to 0. So simply change this line in your local /usr/share/pycentral/idjc/site-packages/idjc/idjc_config.py and don't forget to install the package "lame", if not already done. idjc should now support mp3 streaming, but the option for this is a bit hidden in the new GUI. You have to scroll within or resize the radio server configuration dialog to see the format and stream info options. There you can now change format to mp3 so the Server Connect button will not be gray if shoutcast is selected.

Could this be fixed, please? I guess, lame and flac package and maybe some others optionally used by idjc should be in Suggests/Recommends, but I'm no expert in packaging.

[Sven Hoffmeister (schaumkeks)]

Sorry, mp3 streaming is not working. Should have tested first.

encoder_start: unhandled file format mp3:jack
encoder_start: failed to start the encoder
command failed for command: encoder_start

[drhiii (david-oldcolo)]

No joy here either. Latest .deb dnld and it plays .mp3 and .ogg, but will only stream .ogg, not .mp3.

Unable to come up with a solution.

[Marf (marcuswiederhold)]

Something is still wrong with the idjc-package V0.7.0 from the Ubuntu repos.

I had the same problem that Sven Hoffmeister reported.

The only solution that I have found is to compile idjc by myself. Here is a nice manual how to build idjc and enable the mp3 streaming support: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Internet_DJ_Console (in German). There is also a list of all packages you need to do that.

After $make install the mp3 support should be work ;-) *i hope so*

PS:
Sorry for my bad english

[Sven Hoffmeister (schaumkeks)]

Just rechecked this case and found out, that intrepid will have a version compiled with mp3/ogg flac streaming support. Those packages are AFAIK synched from debian. They still miss flac and vorbis-tools packages as dependency (at least Recommends) for meta data handling including duration retrieval for flac files. At least having these not installed results in a notification by IDJC about this on startup. Maybe I'll file a bug report for the debian package.

Until intrepid is available I upped a backported version (no source changes) to my ppa:

any news on this problem? idjc launches and seems to transmit audio data to the stream while i play mp3 files. but listernes cannot hear anything. (microphone doenst work either)

from time to time even the track title is send but no audio.

i'm using jaunty amd64 and a self compiled idjc version 0.7.17

[Alessio Treglia (quadrispro)]

Is this still reproducible on Lucid?

[Francisco de la Peña (fdelapena)]

Testing idjc 0.8.1-1 (lucid):

How to reproduce the problem:

- Open "Server" window
- Select any of the six Stream tabs
- Format section
- Select "MP3" tab
The tab shows:
"To enable MP3 streaming install the package named 'libmp3lame' and restart IDJC."

I already have that package. I can't broadcast to shoutcast/icecast servers in MP3 format.

[Alessio Treglia (quadrispro)]

I can reproduce this, I'm on it.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package idjc - 0.8.1-4ubuntu1

---------------
idjc (0.8.1-4ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * Build against libmp3lame-dev to provide MP3 support (LP: #154880).

This bug came up again in 13.10. No mp3 playback available in idjc.
