Hi,
anybody knows, why I have such a choppy playback? I am using arts, amarok 1.0 and kde 3.2.2. The effect appears with and without the soundsystem enabled! And I already have the soundbuffer to the max... Any ideas ? greets, tragor |

I have pretty much exactly the same problem. This doesn't seem limited to amarok. It also seems to affect other mp3 players that use artsd. I don't have the same problem using rhythmbox (which uses gstreamer).

You can use gstreamer with amarok, it's the recommended sound backend now. You'll need gst and gst-plugins >= 0.8.1.

Yeah, I tried to use gstreamer.
Confiure seems to find it ok, and says that amarok will be built with artsd and gstreamer plugins. Make seems to finish without any errors. After make install I can see the following files: /usr/local/kde/lib/kde3/libamarok_gstengine_plugin.so /usr/local/kde/lib/kde3/libamarok_gstengine_plugin.la But in the plugin manager dump in the console output there is no mention of gst. There is no entry in the combo box in "Configure Amarok" to switch to gstreamer. I tested gstreamer directly with gst-player and indirectly with rhythmbox. Both of these work ok. Any ideas? |

On the shell: [code:1] ktradertest amaroK/Plugin [/code:1] you should get an output like: [code:1] query is : amaroK/Plugin genericServiceType is : constraint is : preference is : got 2 offers. (...plugin details) [/code:1] If this only lists one offer, it means KDE can't find the other plugin. This would be an installation problem, rather than a problem related to gst. Try "kbuildsycoca" after installation, it rebuilds KDE's config files. Post edited by: markey, at: 2004/07/05 17:25

You installed amaroK to the wrong prefix by the look of it. Check out the README.

Thank you guys, especially markey
i got the same problem with arts (sound was sometimes choppy) Now i switched to gstreamer but i experienced some problems but now it works. Im using apt-get to install amarok on my Debian machine so added the link from this page and so on. apt-get only installed the amarok-arts first. so I had to install amarok-gstreamer. After that I haven seen the plug-in in amarok so I did kbuildsycoca and then it worked. I only had to switch the output to ossink. And now it works like a charm Maybe there are some bugs in the .deb files |

It would be nice if this problem could be solved. My mp3 playback was fine with arts. Then I installed amaroK and it was still okay. Then I changed my sound buffer to max and mp3 playback via arts quit working on everything (amaroK, juK, artsplay, ...).
I am curious if anyone else here is running a K8 chipset? |

Just a quick note. Playback using arts in Ubuntu Breezy was very choppy, used the Xine engine and works perfect.

But Amarok can play mpc files only with Arts. I have to switch to Xine or Gstreamer when I listen mp3 or ogg files and switchback to Arts to listen Musepack files.:angry:
