Hi all

Since yesterday amarok refuses to load the Xine engine.

First of all, I removed my xine-lib rpm, downloaded the source, compiled and installed it.

Then I downloaded the kdeextragear-1 package, configured and installed it (it did say it was including the xine engine)

After successfull installation, amaroK starts but says that the xine plugin cannot be loaded.

To be sure that my xine libs actually work, I compiled the xine-ui frontend, and the mozilla-xine plugin. They both work without a glitch.

Thinking that this was just a glitch in the cvs release, I waited overnight and did an cvs up kdeextragear-1, make uninstall, make, distclean, make -f Makefile.cvs, configure, make, make install

The result is still the same!

I am stuck now with the akode plugin witch is buggy at least since the gstreamer plugin just kills amaroK without a trace. Also neither of them is able to play my favorite stream.

Then lastly there is this issue that I cannot shutdown amaroK normally. Whenever I choose quit, it just hangs and I have to let the assasin in me take over to kill it.

I really do appreciate any and all help.


With kind regards



Andy

Can you please help me out.
I am a beginer to amarok. I am finding it tough to find xine engine for it. I have searched the entire net. But I founf nothing useful.
I am using Fedora Core 4 with KDE3.4 and amarok 1.3.2
The Gstreamer engine is giving errors sometimes when I play a particular song. It stops in between and the statusbar says, \"Gstreamer error...\"
I want to use xine engine, as I feel xine gives a better audio quality than any other in Linux.
Please help me out. I am a lover of Linux and I love to use amarok.

Hi,

You can find what you need at http://rpm.pbone.net/ Use the advanced search and choose Fedora 4. Search amarok-xine.

The specific rpm package is amarok-xine-1.3.2-0.1.fc4.kde.i386.rpm
