Arch Linux

Just for the record, I tried recompiling amarok 1.4 svn and 1.3.8 against the new musicbrainz-2.1.2-1 and tunepimp-0.4.2-3 , but the problem remains.

i added all missing parts to tunepimp, i don't know why it doesn't work :(

I am stumped by this too. I will try recompiling tunepimp and musicbrainz from source, but I dont know how that will help, if at all.

well the fun is i have now 2 files that are taggable, but if one fails they are not taggable until you restart amarok

I can confirm this. After troubleshooting this with one of the amaroK developers, it appears that tunepimp is not communicating with the musicbrainz server for some reason. tp_tagger reports TRM's for tracks, but always returns a result of no matches, so it doesn't appear to be strictly related to amaroK. Here is a tp_tagger session log

BTW, tunepimp 0.3.0 works, I dropped back and tested that today. Also, there have been other amaroK users complaining about this in #amarok on freenode, one of which is an Arch user, the others I am not sure. I don't know if this is strictly related to Arch, but I will say this, I know other Arch users with the problem, and I know Gentoo users using 0.4.2 that do not have this problem.

0.4.0 works too, just tested it

could you try if 0.4.1 works too?

okay, 0.4.1 also works. amaroK returns results and tp_tagger works fine.

and just to confirm, an upgrade to the official Arch package, and it doesn't work again. BTW, I did also try to build 0.4.2 from source and got the same result.

Continuing to look at a few things that may help narrrow this down. './configure' for 0.4.2 returns the following erros:


checking for readline in -lreadline... no
*
* The GNU readline library isn't installed.
* This means the sample tagger, tp_tagger, won't
* have readline support.
*

checking for taglib >= 1.4.0... no
*** NOT compiling TagLib support

Now the funny thing is I have both readline and taglib on my system.

$ pacman -Qs readline
local/readline 5.1-2
GNU readline library

$ pacman -Qs taglib
local/taglib 1.4-2
A library for reading and editing the meta-data of several popular audio
formats.

and taglib-config reports the correct version

$ taglib-config --version
1.4

The readline problem is solved if you apply the patch from abs, in the extra/multimedia/tunepimp directory.

yep, got it, sorry for the noise

it looks like the patch solves the taglib configure check, but I don't see how it fixes the readline configure check error.

downgraded to 0.4.1 now, 0.4.2 seems not to work for whatever reason, perhaps it's taglib related who knows or libmp4v2
