APE file support?

General

Some of my music was compressed into APE format (Monkey’s Audio), and it seems that the APE files can not be recognized by Mopidy. The error message while scanning is as follows:

WARNING Failed local:track:Rossini%20String%20Sonatas/CDImage_Disk%201.ape: No audio found in file.

Is there any way to fix it? Thanks.

Mopidy use GStreamer for all audio decoding. It seems GStreamer 1.x supports APE through ffmpeg/libav. Thus, once Mopidy’s ongoing transition from GStreamer 0.10 to 1.x is complete, you should be able to sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-libav and have APE files working.
