| Summary | 0000933: No music support in Fedora | ||||
| Description | The standard Fedora repository for installing software doesn't provide any framework/library for playing Mp3 files due to Fedora's license terms and the patents which protect the Mp3 encoding/decoding mechansim. SDL_mixer resides in that repo and thus meaning it can't be used for playing Mp3. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | |||||
| Additional Information | Proposal: We shouldn't provide converted OGG files to players due to legal issues. Compiling sdl_mixer with Mp3 support may result in unstable VCMI execution. It's also more complicated if you got two versions of SDL_mixer and you have to specify the one with Mp3. The easiest way I think for both players and devs is: 1. Run the bash script dirogg http://freecode.com/projects/dirogg. [^] It's simple to use and can convert one folder recursively from Mp3 to Ogg. 2. When the resource management re-organization(branch animRewrite) is finished it'll be easily possible to wrap the music loading logic so that a ogg file takes precedence over a Mp3 file. 3. A RPM installation script may then convert Mp3 to Ogg automatically when installing VCMI. (the player has nothing additionally to do) | ||||
