            Bug ID: 374670
           Summary: AAC transcoding is broken due to deprecated libfaac
           Product: amarok
           Version: 2.8.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Transcoding
          Assignee: amarok-bugs-dist@kde.org
          Reporter: rdragonrydr@gmail.com
                CC: matej@laitl.cz
  Target Milestone: 2.9

Okay, I am not certain what priority this would fall under, but it is currently
broken with no workaround and I would like to use the feature.

I have a Nintendo DSi and 3DS that require a form of AAC audio, specifically
.m4a. I have attempted to use Amarok to transcode to AAC, but the option is
perpetually greyed-out, despite installation of what would seem to be the
correct packages.

Someone on the Ubuntu forums has discovered the problem, once I asked about it
there:

Specifically, it seems to be this:

https://cgit.kde.org/amarok.git/tree/src/core/transcoding/formats/TranscodingAacFormat.cpp

Okay, so Amarok is looking for ffmpeg to report that it has libfaac encoder
available.
ffmpeg has deprecated libfaac: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/AAC

Sigh...
(End Quote)


I assume a possible fix would be to use a different transcoder, and fdkaac was
mentioned as an alternative that was in use on a different program, so perhaps
that will help?

I'll be the first to admit I don't really know how to fix it, but I would very
much appreciate a working transcoder on here. I am savvy enough to build a
working version from source, however.

Thanks!!!
