Opus players on 12.04?

[mc4man]

I think you should use -

OPUSENCODERSYNTAX=opusenc

instead of what you have - OPUSENCODERSYNTAX=opus
I use a fuller .conf & adjust as desired the OUTPUTTYPE= line

[shantiq]

hummmmmm puzzling; thanx for replies



by changing line 39 to

OUTPUTDIR="/home/shan"

[instead of OUTPUTDIR="$HOME/Opus/"
] it gets rid of the // but still not there yet

i ran the neroAacEnc one again just to verify; so yes it seems a problem with opus specifically

[mc4man]

Did you try changing the OPUSENCODERSYNTAX line?
and remove the working folder before re-attempting

[shantiq]

------------see lower down

[mc4man]

Maybe repost your current .abcde.conf (in a code box
Works fine here with my .abcde.conf

[shantiq]

-----------------

[mc4man]

so we are all clear this is the untouched abcde.conf page

Don't you use a local .abcde.conf ? (Home folder

[shantiq]

ok mc got there!! [and yes use a home folder .abcde.conf]


which now looks like that

# -----------------$HOME/.abcde.conf----------------- ## # A sample configuration file to convert music cds to
# opus using abcde version v2.5.5-UNRELEASED
#
# -------------------------------------------------- #








# Specify the encoder to use for opus
OPUSENCODERSYNTAX=opusenc




# Specify the path to the selected encoder. In most cases the encoder
# should be in your $PATH as I illustrate below, otherwise you will
# need to specify the full path. For example: /usr/bin/faac
OPUSENC=opusenc




# Specify your required encoding options here. Multiple options can
# be selected as '--best --another-option' etc.
OPUSENCOPTS='--bitrate 256 --ignorelength '




# Output type opus.
OUTPUTTYPE=opus




# Use AtomicParsley for tagging.
ATOMICPARSLEY='AtomicParsley'

# dagrab, cddafs (Mac OS X only) and flac.

# Give the location of the ripping program and pass any extra options:
CDPARANOIA=cdparanoia
CDPARANOIAOPTS="--never-skip=40"




# Give the location of the CD identification program:
CDDISCID=cd-discid


# Give the base location here for the encoded music files.
OUTPUTDIR="/home/username/Desktop"

# Decide here how you want the tracks labelled for a standard 'single-artist',
# multi-track encode and also for a multi-track, 'various-artist' encode:

VAOUTPUTFORMAT='${OUTPUT}/Various-${ALBUMFILE}/${TRACKNUM}.${ARTISTFILE}-${TRACKFILE}'




# Decide here how you want the tracks labelled for a standard 'single-artist',
# single-track encode and also for a single-track 'various-artist' encode.
# (Create a single-track encode with 'abcde -1' from the commandline.)
ONETRACKOUTPUTFORMAT='${OUTPUT}/${ARTISTFILE}-${ALBUMFILE}/${ALBUMFILE}'
VAONETRACKOUTPUTFORMAT='${OUTPUT}/Various-${ALBUMFILE}/${ALBUMFILE}'




# Create playlists for single and various-artist encodes. I would suggest
# commenting these out for single-track encoding.
PLAYLISTFORMAT='${OUTPUT}/${ARTISTFILE}-${ALBUMFILE}/${ALBUMFILE}.m3u'
VAPLAYLISTFORMAT='${OUTPUT}/Various-${ALBUMFILE}/${ALBUMFILE}.m3u'




# Put spaces in the filenames instead of the more correct underscores:
mungefilename ()

echo "$@" | sed s,:,-,g | tr / _ | tr -d \'\"\?\[:cntrl:\]
}




# What extra options?
MAXPROCS=2 # Run a few encoders simultaneously
PADTRACKS=y # Makes tracks 01 02 not 1 2
EXTRAVERBOSE=y # Useful for debugging
EJECTCD=y # Please eject cd when finished

the mistake therefore was using OPUSENCODERSYNTAX=opus as opposed to OPUSENCODERSYNTAX=opusenc
thanx for that mc

[mc4man]

hi mc is it not simpler if you post the one that worked for you; then i can run it here please

Ok - note this assumes oggenc, lame,flac,opus-tools & neroAacEnc are installed, if any aren't then comment out the appropriate 'Path to' line like done for #MPPENC=mppenc & might as well the 'Options for' line like seen for #MPPENCOPTS='--extreme'

What determines the encoder(s) used is then solely the OUTPUTTYPE= line, in this case I just enabled opus (blue line
(if you have alternate method for aac tagging then comment out ATOMICPARSLEY= line, been a while here since this laptop drive is in poor shape

Edit: just to note about the ENCODERSYNTAX line -
You can also likely just use 'default', ex. -

OPUSENCODERSYNTAX=default

[shantiq]

excellent idea!
putting them all in there for future use



now it is even possible to remove


OUTPUTTYPE=opus



and then to use

cd abcde_build/abcde-read-only && ./abcde -o opus

and never again to have to touch .abcde.conf if all codecs installed which is way more user-friendly

cd abcde_build/abcde-read-only && ./abcde -o m4a

or even

cd abcde_build/abcde-read-only && ./abcde -o opus,flac,m4a
