Error with unrecognized music format about mario-level-1 HOT 11 CLOSED

For anyone still having this issue... try

brew uninstall libvorbis libogg # if you have them installed
brew reinstall sdl_mixer --with-libvorbis

from mario-level-1.

It might have to do with your installation of pygame. Try either reinstalling pygame or maybe just SDL_mixer: http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/release/SDL_mixer-1.2.12.zip

Let me know if that helps or not. I have a feeling one of the dependencies dealing with music is not installed properly.

I got it to work with Homebrew by doing the following. Thanks!

brew install libvorbis

brew reinstall sdl_mixer

Thanks @hamidnazari, that worked for me in my project, after spending 2 days trying to get pygame to play mp3 and ogg files on OSX.

It worked also for me!! Great!

OS X Yosemite 10.10.3
Python 3.4.2
Pygame 1.9.1

Thank's guys

Reinstalling sdl_mixer worked for me too, thanks.

I still have the same issue, after trying to install libvorbis, and uninstall both libogg and libvorbis, and reinstalling sdl_mixer. Is there a full list of dependencies somewhere I'm overlooking?

from mario-level-1.

Fixed my issue, here's what was going on:

SDL Mixer wasn't compiling with smpeg support because no docs include smpeg as a dependency. Also compiled SDL Mixer (just config, make, make install, nothing fancy).

For any of those having the same issue, I wrote this up on a Stack Overflow question with the same issue.

You can ignore step2 if you have already installed pygame. Also change pip3 to pip and remove python3 from the brew install list if you plan to use python27 or something

Step 1:
Install all Pygame deps for Mac with Brew (if you don't have brew, look up how to install first)

    brew install python3 hg sdl sdl_image sdl_ttf portmidi smpeg 

Step 2:
Install PyGame

    pip3 install hg+http://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame

Step 3:
Download sdl-mixer source code from: https://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/release-1.2.html

Untar the tar.gz file with tar zxvf:

    tar zxvf SDL_mixer-1.2.12.tar.gz
    cd SDL_mixer-1.2.12
    ./configure
    make
    sudo make install

Step 4:
Run your pygame code and see if it fixes your dependency issue

I hope this helps others who come to this with the same issue I had on OS X Yosemite

Unfortunately first brew installation did not work. But uninstall and reinstall works! Thanks @hamidnazari
