problem with fetching disc cover

Tue Aug 25, 2009 10:23 am
Linux work 2.6.27.29-0.1-pae #1 SMP 2009-08-15 17:53:59 +0200 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

kde-4.2
qt 4.5
amarok 2.1.1-2.20 from http://download.opensuse.org/repositori ... SUSE_11.1/
--------------------------------------
i see the problem in that, when i push "download disc cover" in popup menu on playlist or current track - appears box (request editor).

in that box i push "find". box disappear and apear again with no changes.

changing mirror give no results also.

Same here, all Amazon locales are broken today for me too.

I hear cover fetching is going to be moved to LastFM with the next release, any further info from anyone?

Yes, cover fetching is moving to use Last.FM instead of amazon. You can try applying the patch manually:
http://gitorious.org/amarok/amarok/comm ... 13d0949b51

Or, as a workaround, you can download and set the cover manually (but that's a bit sub-optimal).

No idea. You could file a bug with your distro, maybe they could either fix the API usage in Amarok, or backport the patch for you.

if you go to openSuse playground repo you can install 2.2alpha aka amarok-2.1.60git20090823-2.1.x86_64.rpm

Which is not Alpha, but a git snapshot. The Alpha release is due in a few days.

FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ...

Mamarok, do you know if release due in the next few days just for the x64 architecture in the playground repo, or a general Amarok release?

If a release is due, I'll hang and put up without covers for a while.

Kindest regards.,

Well, we do not make packages, that is up to the distributions, but yes, the first alpha is due in a week or two, but then you need to let the packagers do their work, too.

Just a little patience :)
