hello everybody,
beg your pardon for my english, i hope you will understand me:
i have installed many multimedia-programs and, by the same time, added a second user ( i have allowed the second user to listen to the media files of the first user.
Since then the first user can`t listen to ogg-files anymore.
He is able to listen to all other kind of files  and, what is more funny, the second user may listen to ogg-files.

During the last few days i have read a lot about this problem, most advices tell:
a) to remove the amarokrc file in ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok  or ~/.kde/share/config/
b) that there is a bug in that file where is a  "&"ogg where a ogg is supposed to be.

I have removed the amarokrc files, amarok was again with the default settings, but still didn`t play ogg files.
i have looked for the wrong "&"ogg, but have found no ogg at all
( i think it was in the amarokrc, but i`m sure confused now).

thats all im able to say on my own, im quite new to computers and i`m missing lots of knowledge.
if someone might help me it would be great.
with best greetings to all of you
tornow

( by the way:  if tried several media-players, linux-like rythmbox  and even windows and i-tunes, but i really do like amarok.thanks for giving so much fun to the world too!)

hello again,
once again i`ve read about the bug with the &ogg. So  i`ve checked my config-file once again.

In my .kde/share/config/amarokrc isnt any line with one of the following content:
-sharedFiletypes
-ogg
-mp3
or anything like that:

It would be great if somebody could tell me what to do now, cause all i read about this issue is the bug problem with the
&ogg. On my own i can`t solve the problem.

greetings to all of you
tornow

at least i got the solution:
there was an error with xine,
so i renamed its configuration file in my home folder, and everything is fine again.

Code: Select all

mv  ~/.xine  ~/xine_backup

greetings to everyone
tornow
