Hello everybody,

I'm a new user and please pardon me if I did something wrong to describe correctly the subject for this thread.

Since two days, I'm a happy user of Kubuntu 15.10 / KDE neon (clean install). For now, I've been missing some settings to control the kio-multimedia settings to get full access to the path audiocd:/ in dolphin file-browser.

What I've done so far:
- installed lame
- installed kdemultimedia-audiocd-kio and all other multimedia-plugins for using kio-slaves (as I did in KDE4)

Where can I get access to control the ogg, flac, mp3,... settings - I couldn't find it in the plasma system-settings? When I use dolphin to get access to the Audio CD, I can't see the folder MP3 (I've installed lame) in marked contrast to Ogg and FLAC?

Could you help me please to fix this. What I've done wrong?
Thanks in advance for your support!

Best regards
Peter

The KDE Frameworks (KF5) System Settings is showing the KDE (KF5) Control Modules if they are available.



kio audiocd & KF5

The KDE is using kioslave to open/rip audiocds.

Looking: KF5 Porting Status: http://developer.kde.org/~cfeck/portingstatus.html
It says: 'kio-audiocd (red) No KF5 port found in this branch.'

Looking: https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/k ... itory/show
There is no frameworks branch.

File managers

The Dolphin has been ported to the KF5. It will show the 'Invalid protocol error'



The Konqueror is still using KDE4 so it can use the KDE4 kio-audiocd.



There is dolphin4 available. It can use the KDE4 kio-audiocd.

Hi,

Thanks for your detailed reply.
Your tip to type in "kcmshell4 audiocd" and to use Konqueror for ripping Audio CDs solved the problem!!

Thank you so much - now I can rip it as it used to be.

Best regards
Peter

FWIW: you will only be able to play MP3 tracks if you install the gstreamer plugins for it. Check your distribution for gstreamer 1.x plugins for MP3. MP3 codecs are patent encumbered and not shipped by most distributions in the default installation, it is up to the users to install them manually.

There are duplicates of the 'Plasma 5: Settings for kio multimedia "audiocd:/" dolphin'. Another: viewtopic.php?f=224&t=131038
