I just compiled aotuv beta 5 from source using your guide. I used prefix=/usr/local

It says to



Anyone know how to use it with a ripper like Grip? I don't know what to enter for the command-line executable in the config section. I have a static linux binary aotuv, but I'd rather us the one I compiled (on 64-bit ubuntu) since it's a lot faster.

I'd use "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib oggenc" instead (without the double quotes).

Doesn't work.

I guess I'll just have to be satisfied with the static binary or update my libvorbis libraries to use the aotuvb5 patch.

There's another way: make a wrapper script:

/usr/local/bin/aotuv


chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/aotuv and use that path in grip.

another way is to compile vorbis-tools using the aotuv libs rather than the official libs, breakout oggenc and call it oggenc-aotuv.

that's what i did for rarewares to make it "easy"


later

Thanks again.

The shell script seems to work great--it calls oggenc with the aotuv libs as it should at correct settings. But then I check the file with ogginfo:



I ran it a number of times with different tracks. No change. But if I run the command from the terminal, I get a perfect ogg, no error.

Strange. I've made the script a couple of times now, and still the error.






I'll try your way next.

I think I may have found the reason for that error.

Grip is ripping the wavs and encoding fine, but something is happening in the tagging stage to change the mime-type to mp3!
In nautilus that's what it says, 'Type: MP3'...MIME type: audio/mpeg. Weird.

Everything else (media players, etc) show 'ogg'. When did that start happening? I never noticed because I have the browser set to view icons instead of list. Good thing I use mostly abcde and eac! Hope it's not a big deal otherwise and correctable.

yep, the id3v2 tags option was enabled for some reason. That's the problem.
