@stylemistake Yes, I have ffmpeg 1:3.4.2-2

Edit: I've also installed and tested ffmpeg-git and ffmpeg-compat-54

Legacy Bitwig worked fine.

@mikeza Have you installed "ffmpeg", which is an optional dependency?

Encountering problems trying to import/play MP3 and FLAC files. WAV works fine. All other features are working great.

@bsorahan > Hoping that "pacman -Syu" wouldn't put me back in demo mode!

Due to their new licensing policy, you get updates for 1 year after purchase, and this cycle is different depending on when you purchased it. So when you decide not to continue paying for the next year, just lock yourself into specific PKGBUILD version, and that's it.

I've used this to install bitwig and it works fabulously (after installing jack2), so I'm thinking about buying a license. I was curious about what would happen when bitwig 3 comes out: hoping that "pacman -Syu" wouldn't put me back in demo mode! It looks like we should maybe expect a major version upgrade to require a different package or some other sort of manual intervention? Thanks for making this package!

@liam1895 - "loading jack package: jack_get_version_string" - I had the same issue and fixed it with `sudo pacman -S jack2`. `jack_get_version_string` seems to be present only in Jack2 (https://github.com/jackaudio/jackaudio.github.com/wiki/JackAPIchanges12#symbols-present-in-jack2-but-missing-in-jack1)

It's working OK for me on two installs with jack2 (plus cadence-git).

liam1895 commented on 2017-03-02 06:52 (UTC)

Is there a missing package? When installing and trying to use jack audio in bitwig interface I keep getting the error "error loading jack package: jack_get_version_string"

Created bitwig-studio-legacy for those who are unhappy with licensing model of 2.0.

jonathon commented on 2017-03-01 00:02 (UTC)

Given the new licensing model would a bitwig-studio-legacy (or similar) package for 1.3.15 be a useful thing?
