Hello all
I have spent the last few hours trying to get amarok to play mp3 files on my new installation. At first it refused to play mp3 files completely, but after installing almost all thinkable gstreamer and ffmpeg packages it seemed to work, until I tried to seek in a track. This causes Amarok to skip to the next track, instead of seeking in the playing track. FLAC and ALAC files are fine. I want to keep using the phonon gstreamer backend, so please do not suggest switching to vlc backend. Audio files come from a via autofs mounted nfs share. A similar setup with the same library and phonon + gstreamer + nfsautofs + amarok on my thinkpad works perfectly. Am I missing a package? Have I installed conflicting packages trying to get it to work in the first place? Or what else could be causing this problem? Im following Debian testing, this is the output of amarok diagnostics:

Just solved my issue by purging gstreamer1.0-fluendo-mp3!
Why is this? I thought Amarok was still using the older gstreamer0.10 and gstreamer1.x packages did not matter for amarok? The QPainter lines are still there. During startup (and maybe at other times that I have yet to discover) amarok UI freezes. I don't really care about this as amarok starts with my system and reboots happen less then once a month, but it might be relevant. Quick system specs: i7-4790K 32GB ram GTX970, latest drivers from nvidia site, 3840 X 2160 60hz display But I am very happy I can use Amarok again! It is one excellent player when it works properly |

This does not depend on Amarok, but on Phonon: depending on which version you use, you can only use either 0.10 plugins (prior to 4.8 beta) or only 1.x plugins.
Running Kubuntu 22.10 with Plasma 5.26.3, Frameworks 5.100.0, Qt 5.15.6, kernel 5.19.0-23 on Ryzen 5 4600H, AMD Renoir, X11
FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ... |

In using phonon 4.8.0, so it will be using gstreamer 1.0 then. And so it was probably the ffmpeg and fluendo-mp3 plugins conflicting with each other.
But those QPainter log lines are still there and causing my ~/.xsession_errors to become a **** and swell to huge sizes. It was 1.8G after a few days. Of course I could shove Amaroks output into /dev/null, but that is a last resort. Also Amarok freezes for about halve a minute before it resumes normal operation. There is a possibly related problem that I might post on the workspace forum if I can't solve it by myself or it is shareworthy: a few applications and all "get hot new stuff" widgets freeze during startup. That includes amaroks "Manage Scripts" window and every plasma/kde get new widgets, window decorations, color schemes etc. |

The QPainter log lines are more likely indicating a problem with your KDE installation, you should report this to your distribution.
