I am using Suse9.3 and amarok 1.2.

Amarok will not play mp3 files that are listed in playlist that are located on the NTFS partition. Juk has the same problem but real player can play these same files off the NTFS partition???

Previously I was using Suse 9.2 and i could play the windows media file through amarok and Juk?


thanks

Just wondering: could it be permission problems?

Yes, I\'m having the same difficulties.

Because of this issue, i\'m having to use RealPlayer for all my audio / video purposes, which is not at all satisfactory!

Any other ideas?

How do you come to the conclusion that NTFS is the culprit? It probably isn\'t.

I expect you\'re aware of the fact that SUSE removed mp3 support in 9.3, and you have to manually install it via online update (YOU)?

I\'m having the same problem with Ubuntu 5.04, running Amarok 1.2.3 on KDE 3.4.0. I have installed MP3 support for Ubuntu, but Amarok won\'t even list my songs (from an NTFS partition) in a playlist or load them into the library.

Suggestions?

i know this doesnt help you a lot, but:
why do you guys put mp3 songs on an NTFS partition anyway? AFAIK ntfs write support is still pretty risky in linux.

yeah, i understand you are dualbooting and all that, but i would use NTFS for my video files ( which might get >4GB ) only. this would be the only reason for me to use NTFS on a windows CLIENT.

any other data would go perfectly well on FAT32, and can be edited, played,read,whatever like a charm from both OS.

think about it! just my 2cents.

Yeah, I should probably do that, but I had my music folder (gigs and gigs of MP3s) on an NTFS partition on my second hard drive long before I ever thought about installing Linux and running a dual boot system, and it\'s just kind of stayed that way. *shrug* That\'s my reason.

I think the way to solve your problem is adding the following line to /etc/fstab:

/D /M ntfs rw,user,auto,umask=0220 0 0

where:
- D is the NTFS partition, mine is /dev/hda1
- M is the folder where you would like to mount your NTFS partition

This worked for me!!!

You should never attempt to mount NTFS partitions rw! You could seriously
corrupt your data if you do that. I have seen this happen many times. Mount
the NTFS partition ro and amaroK should handle it just fine.

Amarok wont list non supported files even if they are mp3.

if you don\'t have MAD
(mp3 decoder) the songs wont be listed.


I\'m sure NTFS is irrelevant

and i find NTFS for Mp3\'s is handy admin as it is a faster than fat32 and being Readonly i wont have any accidents


DO NOT MOUNT NTFS RW as NTFS writing in Linux is unstable.
and will guarntee complete loss of data.



Install all mad codecs for Xine and gstreamer.
and suggest you install xine-win32 codecs



Real player uses seperate codecs than xine or gstreamer so it may work when others fail.

Rule permision error out as real can read the mp3\'s
Rule write access from the mp3 source/ntfs drive as Amrok doesnt need to write where the mp3\'s are stored.

if anyone looked on the amarok web site it gave you how to install mp3 support!!!

your welcome

Please don't revive old support requests for extremely outdated versions of Amarok.
