Greetings. I recently installed KDE4.3.3 on FreeBSD 8.0 and encountered problems with audioplayer Juk. Somewhy Juk are not playing songs which have cyrilic letters in its filenames. When i run player from console, i receive following error when press 'play':

Code: Select all

xine is asking to seek behind the end of the data stream

this error also appears when i use Amarok

Also, when i close Juk after trying to play those songs, it crashes:

Code: Select all

kDebugStream called after destruction (from virtual Phonon::KioMediaStream::~KioMediaStream() file /usr/ports/x11/kdebase4-runtime/work/kdebase-runtime-4.3.3/phonon/platform_kde/kiomediastream.cpp line 80)

Help please :]

Test your file from console using kphononplayer to confirm that is a phonon and not a juk problem, and report the bug in bugs.kde.org.

KDE4 has several encoding problems don't resolved yet.

Meanwhile, you could try GStreamer Phonon Engine and maybe you would be lucky.

The application kphononplayer does not appear to exist on my system, so you may not be able to use it for diagnostic purposes, as it is unlikely to be on your system.

You can use Dragon Player ( command "dragon" ) as a substitute however.

kphononplayer is part of kmplayer AFAIK. But indeed, the best testcase would be to try with either Dragonplayer or Amarok, since both use Phonon.

thank you for response.

indeed, there is no kphononplayer in my system. amarok is also returns this error: "xine is asking to seek behind the end of the data stream"
looks like both players, juk and amarok, are using utf-8 encoding for opening files and reading tag information .also i have installed kplayer-0.6.3_2 , this one works with russian filenames pretty good (audio and video). i will test it with dragon once i'll get home. and, i cannot switch to gstreamer for testing purposes, there is only xine available in settings > multimedia > backend. perhaps i missing something:

pkg_info |grep gst
gstreamer-0.10.25 Development framework for creating media applications
gstreamer-plugins-0.10.25,3 GStreamer written collection of plugins handling several me
qt4-phonon-gst-4.5.3 Qt4 multimedia framework, gstreamer backend

Sorry, I think that kphononplayer was part of Phonon as a sample application.

dragon player returns same error in console:
xine is asking to seek behind the end of the data stream

I've mounted ntfs partition in UTF-8, everything seems fine except tags (which are in cp1251 mostly). also, player on my phone supports ID3v2 tags so... i decided to switch from KOI8 to Unicode. I hope newbie like me can handle it :]

I apologize for bothering you.

-- Update:
I use unicode in my system now, no more problems with xine. Also there is very useful python script md3iconv to convert media tags to id3v2.4 with utf-8 support.

Issue considered as solved and topic may be locked. Thank you.
