Mediaplayer and ogg support problem on n900
 
Hi, I installed ogg support to my n900, and loaded an album (.oga) to music folder. Mediaplayer doesn't show it there and is not playing it.

However when I browse the album through files and select a song from the album mediaplayer is playing it nicely.

Is there a way to make an ogg-album 'visible' to mediaplayer so I could play them directly from it?

Wouldn't really like to transform my oggs to mp3...

Cheers.

From the source of ogg-support I can see that it simply does not register the mimetype audio/ogg. You can report this as a bug here.

Rebooting the device may help. I see no problems with Ogg in the media player on my N900. But the extension of my Oggs is .ogg, not .oga, if that makes a difference.

Thanks, the extension was the problem. I renamed the songs from .oga to .ogg and everything is cool now.

I'm wondering if I should still report a bug, because my rythmbox seems to rip my cds to Ogg with oga extension, and .oga recognition would be handy...? But maybe that's not necessary...

Thanks and cheers :)

It only needs to register application/ogg as that is what the gstreamer typefinder will typefind it as.

But it doesn't find *.oga files, which is the recommended filetype for Vorbis audio files. The *.ogg container will be replaced with *.ogx AFAIK: http://wiki.xiph.org/MIME_Types_and_..._-_audio.2Fogg

And they wonder why no one uses OGG for music.

Yes, so I think you are right.

what a strange comment. XIPH is just following the same standard as the MP4 format and the WM format

M4A, audio only
M4B, audio books
M4V, video
MP4, container

WMA, audio
WMV; video

OGA, audio
OGG, container
OGV, video
