This package is broken in Intrepid. Out of box, amarok does not find the script, it does not have a .spec file to tell amarok to use it as a transcoder, and the script is broken until using this version.
Here's how I fixed it on my system: # Create symlink for amarok to find the script sudo ln -s /usr/share/apps/amarok/scripts/soundkonverter /usr/share/apps/soundkonverter/amarokscript/ cd /usr/share/apps/soundkonverter/amarokscript/ # Replace bad script rm soundKonverter.rb wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18982229/soundKonverter.rb # Create spec file sudo vim soundKonverter.spec Now paste this into the .spec file: -----------------START CUTTING HERE----------------- name = SoundKonverter type = transcode [Transcode] target_formats = mp3 ogg flac m4a mp4 wav -----------------STOP CUTTING HERE----------------- Save that file. Now the next problem is that the transcode job will use "Very low" setting no matter what setting is chosen in the script's configuration in amarok. I looked at the script, and saw it was looking for a 'config' file, so I created one. It's probably a matter of having no write access to this directory to create one. I put one of the following settings on a single line: Very_low Low Medium High Very_high # EXAMPLE: set transcoding option to Very_high cd /usr/share/apps/soundkonverter/amarokscript/ echo 'Very_high' > config Perhaps the best way would be to install the script into the user's home directory like you posted before. I would think another solution would be to symlink any config files into the user's home dir, but then what happens with multiple users? Perhaps there's a way I do not know of using the debian packaging tools to set configuration files to a directory based on user. Please fix these bugs in 0.3.9 ;-) -- SoundKonverter is not called from Amarok https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/285387 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
