Hi!

Amarok workes for me a long time. I mean, it will play music for a while (one hour) and then -> it disappears without any kind of message.. It just close and thats it... I have no clue how to trace this problem back.
Does anybody know about this problem? It\'s very annoying since you listen to good music and suddenly it stops playing

Regards

amaroK Version? Engine? Dist? ...

Please give more information, then someone might help you.

okay, sorry. I\'ve forgotten to add these informations

amaroK version: 1.2.3
Distro: Gentoo
Engine: Gstreamer with alsa (I don\'t know if this is the right engine. I just use alsa everywhere and arts is disabled. Maybe I should use another engine? I don\'t know)

thanks

well... I\'ve tried another engine, but all other engines can\'t play online-streams from di.fm but gstream can.
I\'ve also noticed that amarok often crashes when I\'m playing these streams from di.fm

however, I\'ve no information about the reason WHY amarok crashes. Is there nothing I can do to get some info about the crash?

Yes, we always apperciate backtraces (which allows us to see where in the actual code the crash took place.

http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/index.php/FA ... cktrace.3F

Okay, I\'ve now a backtrace for you But there are some \'??\' in it, so I don\'t know if it would help you. Maybe I should recompile kdelibs and kdebase with the \'nostrip\' feature too (I\'m using gentoo)?

Cosh:
Unfortunately this backtrace is useless to us, as it provides no information.

You need to compile amarok with --enable-debug=full.

which I did. I compiled amarok with the debug USE-Flag.
In the meanwhile I re-emerged kdelibs and kdebase with the nostrip FEATURE too. I hoped, that this would help. But I now see, that the gdb-output is still the same (amarok crashed again a few minutes ago)

I followed the wiki step by step...

What are your CFLAGS?

here:

[code:1]CFLAGS=\"-march=athlon-xp -Os -pipe -funroll-all-loops -mmmx -m3dnow -msse\"[/code:1]

something wrong with my CFLAGS?

heh, yes. Your furthering the bad sterotype of gentoo users with flags like that.

It probably explains the crashs. Change it to \"-march=athlon-xp -Os -pipe\".

hmm... could you please explain me, why my cflags is so bad? I think I\'m using only the basics to fully use my processor since it supports all the flags I added.

however, I change my flag now and recompile amarok.
Should I recompile other parts too? Like glibc, kdelibs, kdebase.. and so on?

...yea actually that might be necesary. Probably not though.

I\'ve read that -funrollloops (or whatever) just breaks some code sometimes (not sure about amaroK in particular). It has nothing to do with what your processor may or may not support. Many CFLAGS are put there by the GNU developers so that people who are making binaries for their app can find ways to make it faster - they\'re not intended to be used for /everything/.

mh, okay..

since amarok still crash, I recompile kdelibs too and try it again...
I\'m a bit afraid of setting up my system from scratch again
However.. If I still can\'t get this to work, I will do it at the weekend
