I've tried on Ubuntu 16.04, openSUSE Tumbleweed, and currently Arch Linux, and cannot get audio to process.

I've installed everything (aside from bad and ugly gstreamer plugins) mentioned on the Wiki pages for both a base MG install and audio (Arch): sudo pacman -S --needed nodejs git python2-lxml automake make npm python2-pastedeploy python2-virtualenv gst-python2 python2 python2-pillow gst-libav gst-plugins-good python2-scipy python2-numpy libsndfile alsa-lib

I have added mediagoblin.media_types.audio (with double brackets on both sides; ticket formatted it weird) to mediagoblin_local.ini.

I have also ran gmg dbupdate and restarted both celery and paster.

All audio I've tried (various .ogas, .mp3s, and .oggs) fails to process.

Videos (even audio on the video) and pictures work fine. I'm not sure what else could be wrong, unless the documentation is missing some critical step, or audio support is broken.

I've used various MG builds from the master branch I think as far back as 0.80. At the time of writing, I'm using the latest version available from master.

The flup maintainer has dropped the ball and release a version that isn't actually python3-compatible, while also breaking python2-compatibility (see #5373). When trying to run v0.9.0 with latest flup, users report the below error.

File "/path/to/mediagoblin/lib/python3.4/site-packages/flup-1.0.3.dev20151210-py3.4.egg/flup/server/paste_factory.py", line 7, in asbool
NameError: name 'unicode' is not defined

There are alternative flup packages, such as ​https://pypi.python.org/pypi/flup6. We should try to find one that actually works and update the documentation. Until then, users can't run fcgi with python3.

steps:

Enable mediagoblin.media_types.blog. Run gmg dbupdate, OK. Disable mediagoblin.media_types.blog. Run gmg dbupdate, FAIL.

with Traceback:

KeyError: '562bc42a8fff'... alembic.util.CommandError: Can't locate revision identified by '562bc42a8fff'...

After search, it's same as: ​https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32311366/alembic-util-command-error-cant-find-identifier

If I delete '562bc42a8fff' from the alembic_version table manually, it will works.
