@Daniel, I agree with you, it's just maybe it's not a dependency building issue.
@Rohan, I tried to install k-r-e, amarok doesn't allow to transcode. The only way, for me to have transcode working on amarok is to install the original ffmpeg... If you have any idea of package not installed by k-r-e neither listed in the first comment, available in ubuntu repository (no ppa) that could make transcode works again in amarok, tell me I can try. For all, If you don't have an iPod (which is know by amarok to be limited in file support), you can reproduce the bug with any simple usb key. If ffmpeg is installed, when you try to copy any song from "local collection" to the USB, amarok should ask in which format you want transcode. If ffmpeg isn't installed, amarok will simply copy the song to usb key, without asking fro transcoding. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to amarok in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1285729 Title: amarok needs to build-depend on libav packages for transcode support Status in “amarok” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Amarok 2.8 in (K)Ubuntu trusty is unable to transcode files before copying them to an iPod. When running amarok, on console we get the following error: "amarok: [CollectionLocation] FFmpeg is not installed or does not support any of the required formats. " As there is no more ffmpeg packages on Ubuntu, we can't install it to fix the problem this way. I tried to make a symbolic link of avconv to ffmpeg (ln -s /usr/bin/avconv /usr/bin/ffmpeg) but that doesn't fix the problem.

The step to reproduce are simple: 1) install amarok (2.8) 2) Put in your local collection somes audios file in flac/ogg/.. 3) Try to copy flac/ogg/.. on a device (like iPod) which need transcoding. 4) You get the error message.
