The icons besides the files show that Kid3 thinks that MP3 files are not supported (otherwise there would be NO TAG or a combination of V1, V2, V3). Could you please check which plugins are active? In the Plugins tab of the settings, Id3libMetadata or TaglibMetadata must be activated to support MP3 files. I would recommend to check the TaglibMetadata entry and then restart Kid3.
Thanks for the quick reply.
Settings > Configure kid3 > Plugins was (and is) empty in both panes.
taglib-1.11-1.fc24.x86_64 was already installed.
I installed taglib-extras-1.0.1-13.fc24.x86_64 and restarted but did not make anything get listed.
I guess a package dependency on the distro level should be declared instead, and this ticket could be closed as invalid?
I also think that this is not a bug in Kid3, but a packaging issue. I do not have a Fedora installation, only Ubuntu and Arch. I tried to start the Fedora packages 3.3.2-1.fc24 and 3.4.0-1.fc24 from both, but from Ubuntu, only Id3libMetadata and OggFlacMetadata were listed as metadata plugins for both versions, the "Available Plugins" list was empty for 3.3.2-1.fc24 but full for 3.4.0-1.fc24. On Arch, version 3.4.0-1.fc24 seemed to work, so you could try to install this version which is currently in testing from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=770175.
Confirming that kid3-common-3.4.0-1.fc24.x86_64 and kid3-3.4.0-1.fc24.x86_64 solve the problem: "Available Plugins" list is now populated and application behaves as expected. Thank you!
