Hey Guys,
since I want to change from Itunes to something else I figured I could use Amarok for Windows.
I followed the instructions and installed the nightly build. I installed the

Code: Select all

vlc-1.2.0-git-20100908-0003-

and set my PATH variable to the install path. Somehow I cannot get Amarok to work though. Do I have to do anything with the downloaded vlc in order to get the thing running?
I always get the error :

Code: Select all

Unable to use the VLC Multimedia Backend
Die Dynamische Bibliothek konnte nicht gefunden werden.

(Im from Germany it means the library could not be found...)
Do I have to set something else so Amarok can find it?
When I try playing a track with Amarok no matter what I am using, Mplayer or VLC, it just freezes and I have to kill the process.
Someone plz help me!

Edit: I am using Windows 7 64-bit if that might be a problem...

Edit2: After the first error it gives me a second one:

Code: Select all

The process for the file protocol died unexpectedly.

Which instructions did you follow? We have a new installer here:

You definitely should thy that one

Thx i'll try that one. I used the kde for windows installer for the unstable 2.2.0 release or sth like that...

Hey thanks alot. That works. Atleast I can hear music now. But it is phonon mplayer backend. is there any way to change it to vlc? I cannot even select it now.

anyone?

sadly phonon vlc is not fuctioning properly with kde windows, so untill the issues are resolved you are stuck with mplayer. Mplayer backend does everything youd need.

How can you say that? It doesn't even support an Equalizer...

Try the latest KDE for Windows release, Phonon-VLC seems to work quite fine now.
