Hi,

this morning I restarted my amarok on my kubuntu feisty (with backports enabled) and now it won't play mp3s anymore.
When I drag mp3s into the playlist, the "install mp3-Support"-Dialog pops up and amarok freezes.
I tried executing /usr/lib/amarok/install-mp3 manually but that doesn't change anything.

I don't get this since it worked before. libxine-extracodecs are installed.

Can anyone please help me?

Thanks!

P.S.: This is the output when I start amarok from CLI

Amarok: [Loader] Starting amarokapp..

There is probablya rebuild of the mp3 plauback support somewhere.  Try uninstalling amarok and re-installing to see if any other new updates get pulled back in.

I was wondering if there was any update to this issue.  I recently upgraded to Kubuntu 7.10, which brought in Amarok 1.4.7, and now it is unable to play MP3s.  I got the identical output from the CLI as chandler-bing.

I've tried uninstalling, checking the repos, etc, I'm pretty much lost at the moment.

try "sudo /usr/lib/amarok/install-mp3"
maybe that could solve your problem.

Worked for me. THANKS!!
