From what I can tell from the errors created by ampache, it seems that the hash is wrong. My new problem: I will try to play a song, and if it is from my local drive it plays great, but if I am trying to play it from my ampache collection, the binoculars next to the next track button kind of flash for a bit, and the song does not play. Amarok then moves on to the next song. My error logging inside ampache is turned on, and it is not displaying any errors. It seems this new issue is on amaroks side.

nhn KDE Developer Posts 114 Karma 0 OS	Re: Amarok & Ampache Issues Wed Feb 04, 2009 12:56 pm This is a know issue. Amarok 2 currently only works with the older authentication scheme. Karl Vollmer, the Ampache lead dev, has been talking about upgrading the Amarok ampache service to support the new scheme as well for a while, but he has never gotten around to it. If you poke him a bit he might take the tie to do it soon! - Nikolaj

I would bother him about it but I'm sure he knows he needs to do it and will get around to it when he can. Now, I'll bother him perhaps asking too look at the code myself so I could possibly lend a hand... I installed the earlier version of ampache, and I can now access my ampache database through amarok, but with a problem. I will try to play a song, and if it is from my local drive it plays great, but if I am trying to play it from my ampache collection, the binoculars next to the next track button kind of flash, and the song does not play. Any ideas? Last edited by hysterix on Wed Feb 04, 2009 1:33 pm, edited 1 time in total.

I made sure I had all my xine-lib packages installed. Here is what I did: sudo aptitude search libxine* I then installed: sudo apt-get install libxine1-gnome sudo apt-get install libxine1-plugins sudo apt-get install libxine1-misc-plugins I restarted amarok and it now plays files feed to it by my ampache server! Yay!
