I installed Edgy Eft kubuntu and copied my home directory, including the .xine directory from the old installation.
I couldn't play .mp3 and .ogg files. When trying to do this amarok raised an error message saying the following text: ------------------------------------------------------------ Error Loading Media No suitable demux plugin. This often means that the file format is not supported. ----------------------------------------------------------- The file ~/.xine/catalog.cache was created from an old version. Deleting this file forces xine to rebuild it (i.e. at the start of amarok). Now I can play these mp3s and oggs (of course I installed the packages). Reinstallation of the amarok or some other packages does not purge the ~/.xine files, so this does not work. ** Attachment added: "the 'defect' ~/.xine/catalog.cache file for debugging purposes" http://librarian.launchpad.net/5160936/catalog.cache -- Amarok Ver 1.4.3 / KDE 3.5.4 - Will not play MP3 files, nor install MP3 Support, when chosen. https://launchpad.net/bugs/61972 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
