Output of xine --bug-report on an MP3 file none

Description Christian 2009-09-15 19:06:55 UTC 
Description of problem:

Audio players using xine as the backend no longer play mp3 files. I can't say when this started, but this worked fine until recently. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

rpm -qa | grep xine
xine-lib-1.1.16.3-2.fc11.i586
phonon-backend-xine-4.3.1-6.fc11.i586
xine-lib-extras-1.1.16.3-2.fc11.i586
xine-lib-extras-freeworld-1.1.16.3-1.fc11.i586
xine-ui-0.99.5-16.fc11.i586
xine-lib-pulseaudio-1.1.16.3-2.fc11.i586
xine-plugin-1.0.2-2.fc11.i586

How reproducible:

100%.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run amarok or juk, with xine as audio backend configured in KDE
2. Attempt to play an MP3 file
  
Actual results:

The message "xine is asking to seek behind the end of the data stream" is printed to the console, and the file is skipped/not played.

Expected results:

MP3 should be decoded and playing.

Additional info:

Audio generally works, other file formats (such as OGG) are playing fine as well. I was under the impression that xine-lib-extras-freeworld is all that's needed to play MP3?
Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2009-09-15 19:26:44 UTC 
Unfortunately, I can't reproduce.

works fine here using amarok, you're right about xine-lib-extras-freeworld too.
Comment 2 Christian 2009-09-15 23:13:07 UTC 
Mhmm ... okay, any suggestions for where to start debugging?
Comment 3 Kevin Kofler 2009-09-15 23:20:03 UTC 
Try running:
package-cleanup --problems
and:
rpm -Va

I suspect xine-lib-extras-freeworld or one of its dependencies (libmad?) is corrupt or missing entirely.
Comment 4 Christian 2009-09-16 02:13:59 UTC 
Thanks Kevin -- sorry, but that didn't help. package-cleanup reports no problems, and the changes reported by rpm -Va are unrelated. I did reinstall the xine-lib-extras-freeworld and libmad RPMs.

I ran xine --bug-report on a test MP3 file for which the file command reports:

test.mp3: Audio file with ID3 version 2.3.0, contains: MPEG ADTS, layer III, v1, 128 kbps, 44.1 kHz, Stereo

The report file (attached) clearly indicates that a demux plugin is missing, but I don't know how to fix that. Help is greatly appreciated.

Comment 6 Rex Dieter 2009-09-16 13:40:19 UTC 
difference for me, when I run xine --bug-report... I see a line:

load_plugins: probing demux 'mp3'

which I believe comes from xineplug_decode_mad.so

So, for you, check:

$ rpm -qV xine-lib-extras-freeworld libmad

$ rpm -q -f /usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.26/xineplug_decode_mad.so

$ ldd -r    /usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.26/xineplug_decode_mad.so

If all this checks out, I'm stumped.
Comment 7 Christian 2009-09-16 15:19:31 UTC 
Rats, I'm afraid they all check out. :(

This one finds no differences.

I came across http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=337209 , deleted ~/.xine, and things work again. Thanks all for the help.
