Lubuntu 14.04 and the Opus audio codec has been busted since an update for like two weeks or more now
anddam 2017-03-07 20:53:52
nothing, I cannot figure out why autof isn't creating the subdirectory in the mount point
Ben64 2017-03-07 20:54:08
Afshaal: elaborate
Afshaal 2017-03-07 20:54:11
I sure hope libopus or whatever the problem library is gets fixed soon...
Afshaal 2017-03-07 20:54:54
Pretty simple, any video or bare audio using Opus audio doesn't play back on all the players I've tried since a couple weeks ago now
JP____ 2017-03-07 20:55:54
conclusion: never update :p
Afshaal 2017-03-07 20:56:32
Parole Media Player and VLC give some hints as to the problem at least at least
JP____ 2017-03-07 20:56:49
can't you reinstall the packages?
JP____ 2017-03-07 20:56:59
Maybe see if the older versions are still available
JP____ 2017-03-07 20:57:09
( or build them if you can get into the git branches)
Afshaal 2017-03-07 20:57:21
VLC thinks the format is "undf" and Parole tries to get you to install the missing decoder for audio/x-unknown
Ben64 2017-03-07 20:57:38
Afshaal: works here, must be you
Afshaal 2017-03-07 20:57:58
what system and version Ben64?
Ben64 2017-03-07 20:58:01
14.04
Afshaal 2017-03-07 20:58:10
My 16.04 desktop plays Opus fine
Afshaal 2017-03-07 20:58:18
it's just this 14.04 laptop that's messed up
JP____ 2017-03-07 20:58:35
Afshaal: why don't you reinstall?
Afshaal 2017-03-07 20:58:37
I've done nothing to my codecs recently so I can only conlude this happened in some sort of update
Afshaal 2017-03-07 20:58:42
reinstall what?
JP____ 2017-03-07 20:58:43
Or did you try that already?
Ben64 2017-03-07 20:58:50
well it isnt an update
JP____ 2017-03-07 20:58:50
libopus
Afshaal 2017-03-07 20:58:55
oh
Afshaal 2017-03-07 20:59:00
hmmm
Afshaal 2017-03-07 20:59:03
how?
JP____ 2017-03-07 20:59:19
sudo apt-get install libopus
JP____ 2017-03-07 20:59:31
it should update it if it isn't the newest
JP____ 2017-03-07 20:59:44
otherwise: sudo apt-get remove libopus
JP____ 2017-03-07 20:59:48
and then install
JP____ 2017-03-07 21:00:30
apt-cache search libopus gets you the package name
Afshaal 2017-03-07 21:00:34
Got mplayer2 already
Ben64 2017-03-07 21:00:43
so do the rest of what i said
Afshaal 2017-03-07 21:00:44
How do I make it spit out an output
Afshaal 2017-03-07 21:00:55
oh run from terminal?
Ben64 2017-03-07 21:00:58
yeah
JP____ 2017-03-07 21:01:36
yeah always terminal :p
cfhowlett 2017-03-07 21:01:51
doesn't everyone run from terminal?
Afshaal 2017-03-07 21:01:58
[mkv] Unknown/unsupported audio codec ID 'A_OPUS' for track 2 or missing/faulty
Afshaal 2017-03-07 21:01:58
[mkv] private codec data.
Ben64 2017-03-07 21:02:06
pastebin
cfhowlett 2017-03-07 21:02:16
Afshaal, all .ogg report this error or just this one fil?
anddam 2017-03-07 21:02:19
cfhowlett: sure, I ran automount verbosely to no avail
Afshaal 2017-03-07 21:02:31
all media with Opus audio encoded
Afshaal 2017-03-07 21:02:45
whether it's an .ogg audio file, .mkv video, etc.
Afshaal 2017-03-07 21:10:13
so it doesn't play for you?
Ben64 2017-03-07 21:10:30
nope, it isn't done properly to play here
Afshaal 2017-03-07 21:10:45
and you have tested out other Opus files of your own on your system?
Ben64 2017-03-07 21:10:48
yep
Afshaal 2017-03-07 21:10:58
hmmph
jluc 2017-03-07 21:11:29
Hello all,
AtuM 2017-03-07 21:11:30
Afshaal: It plays on my vlc just fine
Afshaal 2017-03-07 21:11:38
Could it have been an ffmpeg update that broke things... But why does it still play perfectly fine on my 16.04 system?
Ben64 2017-03-07 21:11:53
like i said, later stuff must have added support
Afshaal 2017-03-07 21:24:13
VLC doesn't have an ffmpeg dependency
Ben64 2017-03-07 21:24:24
remember what i said about newer stuff
Afshaal 2017-03-07 21:24:35
yeah but I didn't first encode this file on this system either
JP____ 2017-03-07 21:25:00
Afshaal: did you do the reinstall?
Afshaal 2017-03-07 21:25:10
no
Ben64 2017-03-07 21:25:14
won't help
Afshaal 2017-03-07 21:25:21
Was afraid to break a ton of programs
JP____ 2017-03-07 21:25:23
How can you be so sure?
Afshaal 2017-03-07 21:25:59
36 other packages to remove along with libopus0
JP____ 2017-03-07 21:27:47
if you remove libopus0?
JP____ 2017-03-07 21:28:31
otherwise do: apt-get remove libopus0 > OhOh.txt
Ben64 2017-03-07 21:28:48
don't remove...
JP____ 2017-03-07 21:29:00
that way you save what packages were removed and can manually restore them in case a reinstall doesn't automatically install them
JP____ 2017-03-07 21:29:08
Ben64: you got this?
JP____ 2017-03-07 21:29:13
I know you have more experience :p
Afshaal 2017-03-07 21:29:16
it's a bunch of programs it'll remove
Afshaal 2017-03-07 21:29:23
in addition to libraries
anddam 2017-03-07 21:36:24
JP____: syntax, for me
FManTropyx 2017-03-07 21:37:04
I experienced problems upgrading my system
Afshaal 2017-03-07 21:37:26
Well... I'm not too sure how to resolve this problem outside upgrading to 16.04 (which I'm not even sure I want to do)
FManTropyx 2017-03-07 21:38:06
does someone know what "some metadata was ignored due to errors" might indicate?
FManTropyx 2017-03-07 21:38:26
then I got "update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults"
FManTropyx 2017-03-07 21:39:45
"Warning: Setting GRUB_TIMEOUT to a non-zero value when GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is set is no longer supported."
FManTropyx 2017-03-07 21:40:46
"W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file '/var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial/adobe-flashplugin_20170214.1.orig.tar.gz' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)"
FManTropyx 2017-03-07 21:41:15
wait, why do I even suddenly have a flash plug-in? I haven't installed that
Afshaal 2017-03-07 21:41:38
I need sleep though, maybe I'll throw away hours of my time on this frustration again another time -_-
Afshaal 2017-03-07 21:42:07
luckily I'm adept enough to just re-encode audio to something else in the mean time
Ben64 2017-03-07 21:42:13
Afshaal: use ogv instead
Afshaal 2017-03-07 21:42:16
thanks for the help
Afshaal 2017-03-07 21:42:20
ogg video?
Ben64 2017-03-07 21:42:23
yep
Ben64 2017-03-07 21:42:28
(or a better audio codec)
Afshaal 2017-03-07 21:42:28
the container doesn't matter, this is a codec problem
Ben64 2017-03-07 21:42:33
wrong
Afshaal 2017-03-07 21:42:35
Opus is the best :)
Ben64 2017-03-07 21:42:39
it isn't
Afshaal 2017-03-07 21:42:43
yeah huh
Ben64 2017-03-07 21:42:52
but if you insist on using it, use ogv
Afshaal 2017-03-07 21:43:06
I'll test that theory real quick
Afshaal 2017-03-07 21:43:48
is .ogv the right extension?
Ben64 2017-03-07 21:43:53
indeed
Afshaal 2017-03-07 21:44:01
having trouble moving it from .mkv to .ogv
Ben64 2017-03-07 21:44:07
moving?
Afshaal 2017-03-07 21:44:11
oh right this is vp8 video
Afshaal 2017-03-07 21:44:16
one sec
