Hello,
Ive seen a few other posts with this problem(also others on #amarok) but is there any real fix/solution for it?
The gstreamer engine will just not work.(nor will xine but one thing at a time ) When i say it wont work i mean what a few other users have been experiancing. When it trys to play a track it just does nothing and the counter wont move. Nothing i try will get any sound. And yes this includes gst-register. Unstable support for this engine seems to be the only major flaw in this fantastic piece of software. If this could be fixed in the next version or some other solution can be provided, I (and the others who are finding this) would be much appricative! Until then i have to use the arts which i hear is inferior sound quality wise and skips non-stop when the cpu is under any pressure at all.
Thanks.

(haveing this problem on all builds of amarok, currently using beta2 with the latest version of gstreamer and plugins and running mandrake 10)

I've mentioned it before and will repeat here:

In current CVS, gst-engine is broken, due to a code redesign. Use xine-engine instead. In beta1 gst still works ok.

If you have a general problem with your GStreamer installation, read the amaroK FAQ, the GStreamer FAQ, and go to #gstreamer on freenode.

thanks very much for the help. i was experiancing this problem with all versions of amaok but it must be gst installation probs. it seems to install fine but il mess around with it some more..
thanks again!

I am also having this problem with 1.1 beta 2.
I know its not my gstreamer setup, as 1.0 works fine.

Any ideas ?

I just installed all the xine engine stuff and that works fine.
So it looks like there might be some sort of issue with gstreamer in the program.
