[opensuse] Playing DTS audio files.
Hi, I'm trying to play some audio files encoded in dts format (.dts), tried Amarok which prompts for the installation of an extra plugin "DTS Decoder" to decode files, but which unfortunately does not find anything useful in the available repos (standard ones). Now according to http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/plugins.html gstreamer comes with a suitable decoder which seems to be included in the gst-plugins-bad (http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/modules/gst-plugins-bad.html) package. Now I should be already covered accordingly: ~> zypper search gstreamer | grep plugins | grep bad i | gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad | GStreamer Streaming-Media Framework Plug-Ins | package | gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad-32bit | GStreamer Streaming-Media Framework Plug-Ins | package | gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad-devel | GStreamer Streaming-Media Framework Plug-Ins | package | gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad-doc | GStreamer Streaming-Media Framework Plug-Ins | package i | gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad-lang | Languages for package gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad | package i | gstreamer-plugins-bad | GStreamer Streaming-Media Framework Plug-Ins | package | gstreamer-plugins-bad-32bit | GStreamer Streaming-Media Framework Plug-Ins | package | gstreamer-plugins-bad-devel | GStreamer Streaming-Media Framework Plug-Ins | package | gstreamer-plugins-bad-doc | GStreamer Streaming-Media Framework Plug-Ins | package | gstreamer-plugins-bad-lang | Languages for package gstreamer-plugins-bad | package But still Amarok does not know how to decode the files. I know the format is somewhat odd for an audio file, but before trying to convert with mplayer, I thought I could have missing something: any hints? Thank you. -- Marco -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

In YaST do a Search in the Install Software section and include in the Search parameters Description and Provides for the term 'dts'. See what comes up, OK?

Unfortunately that search criteria do not bring a lot: apart from the gstreamer good plugin package and a decoder lib for dts file from packman repo (which I have both installed) amarok still does not play them. The only piece of software which plays them it would seem to be smplayer. -- Marco -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

You need to check that KDE is using the GStreamer back-end rather than the VLC backend. Either in Amarok choose Settings / Playback / Configure Phonon, or run System Settings / Multimedia / Audio and Video / Backend. You should then see a list of backends, move GStreamer to the top and click apply. If you don't have GStreamer as an option then you need to install the phono-backend-gstreamer package in Yast.

Phonon it's already using GStreamer which is also the only backend available on my system for it. -- Marco -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Why don't you use VLC? Handles everything including dts.
