K3b will not create audio CD from wavpack files

[FractalWheel]

I have installed k3b-extrathemes, k3b-i18n, normalize-audio, sox, movixmaker-2, libk3b6-extracodecs, vcdimager and I still can't get k3b to read wavpack files,When I installed kubuntu I also installed support for mp3 files,flash,.....


When I put an wavpack file in k3b this shows up:

But if I put only an wavpack in it it k3b crashes,but If I first put an flac file then wavpack it only shows the above error "unable to handle the,..."

I already reported this bug to the bugtracker but It would be great if this can be fixed manually.

Thanks in advantage.

look in k3b>settings>programs and see if it "found" transcode if not install it . and try again

Do you have the package wavpack installed? It's in the repositories.

This package contains an encoder and decoder for wavpack files.

[FractalWheel]

Thank you for your replies.I have installed both packages transcode and wavpack but still the same error appears.

Kubuntu-Restricted-extras and LAME are the only things I add and never have had a problem.

K3b crashes

But if I put only an wavpack in it it k3b crashes,...

The K3b crashing could be the Qt problem with the Kubuntu:

- https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ku...er/007632.html
- https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ku...ry/007857.html
- https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ku...ry/007918.html
- https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ku...ry/007954.html


At here - testing with the few wv sample files from the : http://wavpack.gl.tter.org/ . The K3b with the Saucy (Qt: 4.8.4) is crashing but the Trusty (Qt: 4.8.5) is not.

K3b WavPack support

...wavpack it only shows the above error "unable to handle the,..."

The K3b doesn't have dedicated WavPack plugin. It is using the K3b FFmpeg plugin.

The K3b FFmpeg (k3bffmpegwrapper.cpp) has:

...
#ifndef K3B_FFMPEG_ALL_CODECS
        //
        // only allow tested formats. ffmpeg seems not to be too reliable with every format.
        // mp3 being one of them sadly. Most importantly: allow the libsndfile decoder to do
        // its thing.
        //
        if( file->type() == CODEC_ID_WMAV1 ||
            file->type() == CODEC_ID_WMAV2 ||
            file->type() == CODEC_ID_AAC )
#endif
...

With the 'standard' K3b FFmpeg pluging you will get the 'not supported' window.




If you want to - You could build your own version. Older: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/...howtopic=56150

Now days there is no the ' --enable-ffmpeg-all-codecs' option but you could get the same by editing the code...

Rebuilding the K3b...and installing a new unrestricted version of the libk3b6-extracodecs...




The import part seems to work...

using the test files from http://wavpack.gl.tter.org/ in 14.04 I was able to do a simple convert to .wav with "avconv" like this

vinny@vinnys-HP-G62:~/Downloads/Wavpack4Wlab_samples/Wavpack 4.2/Lossless (high)$ avconv -i 6_Channel_ID.wv 6_Channel_ID.wav

dispite the "error" the file plays and is lodable into K3b

so frome in the folder with a bunch of .wv's you could do something like

 for f in *.wv
      do 
      avconv -i "$f"  "${f%.wv}.wav"
done

and should get copies of all the files as .wav

vinny@vinnys-HP-G62:~/Downloads/Wavpack4Wlab_samples/Wavpack 4.2/Lossless (high)$ ls
16 ST.wv  24 ST 192kHz.wv  24 ST SFX.exe  24 ST.wv  32FLOAT ST.wv  32INT ST.wv  6_Channel_ID.wv  8_Channel_ID.wv  8U ST.wv

As far as I know WAV and WAV PACK are two different audio formats. I think and the OP is wanting WAV PACK.

Ahummm ....the OP is wanting to burn audio cd's from the .wv wavpack files .......witch K3b dose not want to do ,,,,,,,,I was just showing an easy way to get the files to a audio cd withought rebuilding K3b whitch is to just convert them first to somthing K3b knows what to do with ,,,,,,,you can just as easy use flac (or whatever)in the example I gave for batch converting

Yep! Just adding more for others. I agree with your approach though. Should have made that clear. I wouldn't want to rebuild!

EDIT: http://www.wavpack.com/

I rip all of my cue files on an windows 7 with cuetools and when I choose to export as flac it gives me an "opencl platform not supported error" and I don't know hack what to do even when I installed opencl and it gives an error "no opencl found" or something similar,this is why i'm stuck on using wavpack.

[oshunluvr]

Stop using windows. Rip your cd's on linux with K3B.
