Hello

I can't hear any sound when playing podcasts in amarok.
Just after this when i try to add some local music to the playlist the soft is closed with segmentation fault.

How can i improve this ?

thanks


i'm using
opensuse 12.1
amarok --version
Qt: 4.7.4
KDE Development Platform: 4.7.4 (4.7.4) "release 11"
Amarok: 2.5.0

try changing the pnonon backend used

Could you please file a bugreport for the crash? https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=amarok Make sure you have the package amarok-debuginfo installed beforehand.

As for the absence of sound: please make sure you use either the phonon-backend-gstreamer or the phonon-backend-vlc, you probably still use the xine backend which is deprecated and unmaintained. Also don't forget to install the gstreamer-plugins, you need bad and ugly for the various proprietary codecs.

Using gstreamer makes sound ok now
i had xine engine, seems like gstreamer is mandatory now.

I had the gstreamer plugins aready, but ugly that i added.

Adding the same local music does not crash the soft anymore, I'll fill a bug report if it comes back.

Thanks

One more question please : if xine if not ok : why is it still available in the phonon settings ?

Thanks

That depends on the distributions who still ship it. Since a new distribution is not published very often that is not surprising.
