I'm using Amarok 1.4.1 from the Kubuntu 6.06 packages, and when I click on the playlist folder, and open up Cool Streams, I'm trying to select some streams to play, and I get an error message that says "No suitable demux plugin" and/or "No suitable input plugin" and the streams will not play.

I'm using xine and I have all the necesssary libraries and packages installed.  I havent tried all the streams under Cool Streams, but I am connecting to a lot of the SomaFM streams.  I don't know how to use Last.fm to play the same streams either.

Can anyone help me?

i have the exact same problem as you . i'm running Ubuntu 6.06 using the repos mentioned in the wiki. none of the lastfm streams work...

I've tried with just about every method possible - build via source, via SVN, and the kubuntu packages, yet I still can't get this to work right.

It's a bug in Ubuntu's xine-lib package. See here:

Have the xinelibs been fixed yet? I can play nearly anything with Amarok except the three default Digitally Imported streams from SomaFM. Amarok throws the errors "no suitable input plugin". I have done some googling and found an archived IRC log that made it sound like it was a error at SomaFM that they were putting out some bad header info. Don't know, but I would like to fix my Amarok if possible. I can play the other cool streams (shoutcast) fine as well as the last.fm streams. Thanks. If this thread was too old to resuscitate, my apologies.

You can play all of the Cool-Streams. The key is to click it again a few times after you got this error. It will  work at the second or third try.

Not being difficult, but no you can't. The Digitally Imported streams that are in the default setup will not play no matter how many times I click them. If you are able to get them to play, I would appreciate you sharing your setup so that I can try and duplicate it. It would be nice if xine would give you the option of defaulting to mp3 (or other) when it can't accurately identify a stream. I saw some traffic that said the SomaFM streams were incorrectly identified as theora rather than mp3. I don't use any other theora, so I am wondering if I can't change a configuration somewhere to associate theora with the mp3 decoder. Don't know, not life and death, but annoying.
