Hi,

I'm using the latest image of QLC+ on a Raspberry Pi 3.

When I try to load a audio file (doesn't matter if it's a mp3 or a wav) QLC says "This audio file cannot be played with QLC+. Sorry".

The file is located on the systems sd card, not on an usb. When closing QLC, navigating to the file and typing "omxplayer ***.mp3", the file plays without any problem.

Any hints?


Best regards
Noel

Hi, sorry for the delay.
I need to find some time to try this.
Question: are the project file and the audio file in the same folder or different ones ?

Hey,

No problem, thanks for your answer.

Initialy, the audio files were in /root/music/. But even if they are in the same folder as the project, the problem still exists.

Hi, I finally found the time and the issue is confirmed !
Basically the image doesn't include libmad and libsndfile ! I have no idea how that happened but I'll include them in the next image.

For now, just install them manually:

Code: Select all

sudo apt update
sudo apt install libmad0 libsndfile1
That's all.
Sorry for the inconvenience
