1. Start Amarok from the konsole with "amarok -d > log.txt 2>&1"
2. Put a CD in the CD tray and wait til it shows up in the Local Music section
3. Double click on the CD header to add it to the playlist
4. Try to play a track or two, then stop Amarok
5. Paste the log.txt in http://pastebin.ca

I know what you mean, a lot of the info looked superfluous to this problem. However, I thought I did just what you said. Any way, here is the output of that:

Although, steps #3 & 4 are not applicable because Amarok still shows zero tracks on all audio CDs.

I hope it is helpful though.

P.S. I'm now using amarok-2.2.90-57.1 from the KDE:KDE4:FACTORY:Desktop repository.

Code: Select all

amarok(30956)/kio (KIOJob) KIO::SlaveInterface::dispatch: error  163   "Device does not have read permissions for this account.  Check the read permissions on the device."

You should go through your system/user permissions, something is fishy there.

I hadn't noticed that! Thanks for catching it. I made a change that will hopefully fix this issue but I can't report the result until later today because I can't test it until then.

UPDATE:

I tried adding myself to the cdrom group (the group which my sole disc drive is in) but that did not help.

So I looked at the permissions of the device (sr0) and they looked fine (myself as a member of "cdrom" was allowed) but "Others" were forbidden from the device. So I allowed them and viola, Amarok could then detect my audio cd tracks.

However, the problem is now that Amarok refuses to actually play the tracks. No audio is produced (audio & audio cds work fine in other apps, such as Audacious), progress bar does not progress, however, Amarok "acts" as if it is playing the track because the right-click menu shows "Stop" instead of play.

Here is the output:

"Other apps" don't use Phonon. Make sure you use the phonon-backend-xine and have the necessary codecs for libxine installed. Most distributions don't include those codecs for patent reasons, so you have to install those by yourself.

I'm well aware of all of that. I know other apps don't use Phonon but other apps do play audio & audio cds fine which is why I mentioned it.

I do have the xine backend installed as well as the gstreamer backend. I also have all the xine & gstreamer codecs/plugins installed.

No idea why the EngineController causes problems here, I will have to ask the devs.
