Description Scott Doty 2008-11-08 23:48:04 CET

mplayer isn't seeing id3 tags in my flac files ... they used to work, but have now stopped working in rawhide.
The flac files were ripped from cd using xmcd:

   http://www.amb.org/xmcd/

BTW, if I use "oggify" to transcode one of these flac files to mp3, then id3info picks up the tags

...not sure what component to file this against, any idea?

sample data are in:  http://ponzo.net/9b10e209/

Are you sure these files actually have any tags?

OK, it turns out the sample file has tags, but these are not id3, only Vorbis comment, as seen using metaflac. I'm not sure if MPlayer supports these. You say it worked before - could you find out which was the last MPlayer version that it worked with?

Turns out, in all cases where mplayer was displaying .flac tags, they were mplayer-svn builds...

I see that one of my ./configure flags was "--enable-vorbis" at one point, but I'm not sure if that is needed any more...

I'll check out the rpmfusion source rpm to see if there's something it's lacking to get this to work.

Are you sure MPlayer SVN supports this? Could you share your ./configure command line (preferably with the corresponding config.log)?

Any progress?

OK, you must've been using some very old snapshot. FLAC metadata reading was disabled about a year ago in r25918. If you want to have this fixed, better send a patch to MPlayer developers. I can't fix it myself.
