how to update xmms in slackware64 13.0 to play flac?

wingevil · 06-15-2010, 02:14 PM

When I want to play a flac-file, I've used always Audacious on my slackware64 13.0-pc because xmms doesn't work with that filetype.

Now I've installed slackware 13.1 on an 2nd pc and there I can play flac-files in xmms.

What do I have to do to enable xmms on my slackware64 13,0-pc to play there flac-files with xmms also?

thanks in advance

Do you have the flac package installed? That's the one that includes the xmms plugin.

flac-1.2.1-x86_64-2 is installed.

Remember:

I can play flac-files with Audacious.
I can convert into flac with gnormalize.

BUT I can't play flac with xmms

The flac package in x86_64 doesnt include the xmms plugin cause xmms was removed from Slackware at the time the x86_64 port happened and the flac package was built.
You can simply rebuild it with xmms installed iirc.
