Re: audiothumbs doesn't work

IF

If you mean this:

a thumbnailer for the audio file art

Plugin for KDE file managers (Dolphin and Konqueror) to
preview cover arts embedded in Audio (MP3, FLAC) file tags
as thumbnails.

audio/flac != audio/x-flac

Earlier - (Ubuntu 10.10) Mime type for the flac is /1/:

mimetype -b /media/sda5/tmp/Lakka.flac

audio/x-flac

Now - (Ubuntu 11.04) mime type for the flac is:

mimetype -b /media/sda5/tmp/Lakka.flac

audio/flac

Fix

The AudioThumbs is looking the audio/x-flac. You could edit the mime types. System Settings > File Associations - ! I didn't try this !


Patching the AudioThumbs:

AudioThumbs.cpp., line 85 -
Changing:

  else if (type->name() == "audio/x-flac"){

to

  else if (type->name() == "audio/flac"){

AudioThumbs.desktop, line 6 -
Changing:

MimeType=audio/mpeg;audio/x-flac;

to

MimeType=audio/mpeg;audio/flac;

Building, installing.... flack thumbnails are working.

/1/ man mimetype

MIMETYPE(1p) User Contributed Perl Documentation MIMETYPE(1p)

NAME
mimetype - Determine file type

SYNOPSIS
mimetype [options] [-] files

DESCRIPTION
This script tries to determine the mime type of a file using the Shared MIME-info database. It is intended
as a kind of file(1) work-alike, but uses mimetypes instead of descriptions.

If one symlinks the file command to mimetype it will behave a little more compatible, see "--file-compat".
Commandline options to specify alternative magic files are not implemented the same because of the
conflicting data formats. Also the wording of the descriptions will differ.

For naming switches I followed the manpage of file(1) version 4.02 when possible. They seem to differ
completely from the spec in the 'utilities' chapter of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (POSIX).
