Title:
amarok does not play wma files in ubuntu 14.04
Status in “app-install-data-ubuntu” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
In KUbuntu 14.04, when trying to play a WMA file, Amarok says that it
needs an additional plugin, e.g. "Decoder Windows Media Audio 8".
Running the proposed search for the plugin yields no results.
The bug is likely related to the removal of the package
gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg, see bug 1275556. In another system with 14.04,
where this package was occasionally left from some older installation,
WMA is played normally. However it seems that the genuine reason is in
the Amarok itself, which looks not properly tuned to work with the
updated audio libraries. Other audio players that I have installed can
play WMA with no error.
Running "gst-inspect | grep wma" gives only "typefindfunctions:
video/x-ms-asf: asf, wm, wma, wmv". In the ubuntu 14.04 system with
the old package gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg this command identifies several
available WMA codecs.
