hi *,

im using amarak 2.4.3 on KDE 4.6.5 (Fedora 15).
my Phonon-backend is Xine (the only one, where cue-sheets etc. work)

i experienced, that a view features won't work as expected, when my collection (mounted via SMB) is unreachable. this is reproduceable for me:

* startup amarok with external collection mounted.
* listen to a radiostream - all information like trackname, station etc. is visible
* stop amarok and unmount collection
* startup again
* no more trackinfo is displayed, cue-sheets wont work anymore ...

any hints/tipps for me?

thanks a lot in advance

That's odd, but still.....Amarok is designed to use a collection. Streaming is a nice add-on, but Amarok is fundamentally about playing your collection and allowing you to re-discover your music. You are deliberately disabling that.

Also you should not use the xine backend, it is not maintained anymore. Please use the gstreamer or the vlc backend instead.

i know gstreamer is the prefered backend.
but xine still is the only one working for me ...
neither cue-support nor radio-info are working properly using other backends
also very important for me: gapless playback only with xine

thx for your responses anyway
