Description of problem: mt-daapd is unable to access the tag data attached to .flac files, or .flac-encoded streams wrapped in a .ogg or .oga container. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1:0.2.4.2-6.fc12 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Drop a tagged .flac file into the mp3_dir directory 2. Start mt-daapd 3. Start rhythmbox, or other daap-compatible music player Actual results: The .flac file will show up, but is only listed by its filename. The track, title, artist, genre, and other tag information isn't listed. Expected results: The file should be categorized according to the genre/artist/album information in the tag fields. Additional info: The problem has long-since been corrected in "the most recent cutting-edge build", Build svn-1696, of Mon, 29 October 2007, available from http://nightlies.fireflymediaserver.org/nightlies/svn-1696/mt-daapd-svn-1696.tar.gz
This problem persists in the mt-daapd released by Fedora repos for Fedora 13 GNU/Linux. I'm running F13 with mt-daapd: ---------------------------------------------------- $ rpm -qi mt-daapd Name : mt-daapd Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 0.2.4.2 Vendor: Fedora Project Release : 6.fc12 Build Date: Sun 26 Jul 2009 10:27:28 PM CDT Install Date: Wed 09 Jun 2010 09:20:13 PM CDT Build Host: xenbuilder2.fedora.redhat.com Group : Applications/Multimedia Source RPM: mt-daapd-0.2.4.2-6.fc12.src.rpm Size : 286221 License: GPLv2+ Signature : RSA/8, Mon 22 Feb 2010 12:29:42 AM CST, Key ID 7edc6ad6e8e40fde Packager : Fedora Project URL : http://www.fireflymediaserver.org/ Summary : An iTunes-compatible media server Description : The purpose of this project is built the best server software to serve digital music to the Roku Soundbridge and iTunes; to be able to serve the widest variety of digital music content over the widest range of devices. ---------------------------------------------------- and I get a lot of tracks in the "Unknown" genre with Rhythmbox because mt-daapd can't parse the Vorbis comments where the track's tags are. I am sure this is not a Rhythmbox problem because when I point Rhythmbox to the directory where my FLACs are (the same directory mt-daapd reads from; the mt-daapd "mp3_dir" directory) Rhythmbox properly parses the same tracks that mt-daapd can't parse properly.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
