Description John 2022-12-01 12:33:18 UTC 
SUMMARY
Elisa removed support for open source vorbis muic files. The music is not present in albums nor artist etc at the left side.
Elisa scans folders, but doesn't add ogg vorbis files at all (.ogg created with oggenc from vorbis-tools) and completely ignores them. If you put .flac in the album folder surprisingly elisa scans and sees the .flac music files, but not vorbis.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Tryout I:
1. Fire up elisa, wait for it to scan folders (cannot be turned if nothing changes, i.e. not music added ?)
2. No music in Elisa
Tryout II:
3. Fire up elisa, wait for sanning to finish
4. Use Elisa menu to reset the database and rescan folders

OBSERVED RESULT
No music (vorbis .ogg created with oggenc from vorbis-tools) in Elisa. Elisa doesn't support ogg vorbis. Elisa supports FLAC (.flac) music files, though.

EXPECTED RESULT
Elisa must support free and open source formats, like ogg vorbis from xhiph. Elisa may not intentionally skip open source format in Music folders and not show them, while at the same time promoting non-free softwear like AAC.

While I bother reporting the bug:
P.S. Last time I created bug report on bugs.kde.org there was intentional repack version of kimageformats that removed open source formats/encoder like aviff, despite various aviff.so beging present throughout the system. This is the second time I see KDE removes open source software while promoting non-free, non-libre software (AAC, HEVC, etc.). This is unacceptable. Someone please stop sabbotaging KDE Plasma and KDE gears and libraries.

Elisa finds my Ogg Vorbis music files just fine. The title is needlessly provocative as nobody has intentionally removed support for Ogg Vorbis files. There must just be some bug somewhere in the stack that is preventing your files from being played.

For the Ogg files in question...
1. If you select one in Dolphin, can it be played in the Information Panel's preview?
2. If you open it in VLC, does it play?
3. If you open it in DragonPlayer, does it play

Can you attach one such file so I can take a look?
