Look at banshee vs. helix-banshee and you'll see the reason. Without knowing the exact background information, I guess that SUSE would have been forced to rename Amarok to Helix Amarok, add a Helix EULA on startup and add Helix branding. The changelog of the amarok package cleary states that amarok-helix has been disabled on purpose. Certainly not in order to annoy the users.

No, amarok would need to belong to Real to make this working ...

Has it been dropped totally? Under inst-source-nonoss there are only helix-banshee packages, but no amarok.

Yes, we needed to reorganise our complete packaging for banshee and amarok. We can only use the real codecs from Real - or Helix - packages like Helix Banshee,

I am sorry but i am little confused. Do we still ship amarok?

yes

Do we still ship amarok with mp3 support (trough helix)?

no -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I am on 10.2 beta 2 and installed w32codecs and packman's libxine packages for 10.1 on it. Amarok plays mp3 and xine plays everything.

Right, and you can also install my amarok RPMs as they include all the features (mysql+postgresql collection backends, MP4 tag support through libmp4v2): http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/suser-guru/rpm/packages/Sound/amarok/ cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFWzglr3NMWliFcXcRAqJiAKC8naVazSHXXAzLi6yhw5TjisCDggCgrV3Z w80Xe/DMfPg39L5j7Rf9hK0= =OvzW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Realplayer will as well. I'm not happy about this either - and I'm totally unhappy about the current software patent mess,

What about Fluendo's gstreamer mp3 decoder? http://www.fluendo.com/resources/fluendo_mp3.php Warm Regards, Claes Backstrom --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
