[opensuse] amarok plays no more streams
Hi everybody because of a bug in dolphin I upgraded to KDE 4.6, the bug is gone, but now I cannot listen to radio streams in amarok anymore... Amarok Version 2.4.0, KDE 4.6.00 (4.6.0) "release 381", OpenSuse 11.3 it plays locally saved music files, but the radio stations I saved earlier do not connect. If I double-click the radio-station in the play list, a small message appears below saying "too many errors in the playlist"... No idea what it wants to tell me: at present there is only one radio stram in te playlist (and nothing else), which I entered with copy/paste from the browser where I tested the URL using mplayer. Any idea how I can get amaraok back to play radio streams? thanks for hints!

Ok, it's solved, but it was a horror trip... short: the phonon backend must be set to VLC this is the story (it is mostly rant, so ignore if you're tired...): - dolphin in KDE 4.5 gets crazy when in a directory containing html-files, - after a hint, I upgraded to KDE 4.6: - doplhin worked, but there was no streaming in amarok - after a search I came across the one click install for restricted formats and went thru it, although I already had the packman stuff, but well - wow: amarok played again: but KMail couldn't start anymore, it said something about ...phonon... - so I updated the phono things in Yast (that was backgraded during the 1click) - hey: Kmail worked again, but amarok now ranted that it cannot play mp3 (and of course no stream). Accepting to install the needed sofware amarok proudly told me: successfully installed! But ranted the same with the next start. Search, think search... - Ha: in KDE control center the phonon backend has been changed during the upgrade to 4.6 from xine to gstreamer! How I love those changes without asking me...! But hey: after canging back to Xine amarok worked, and KMAIL too. - So I thought, I'm goin to sleep (it's 2:15 at night now here in Barcelona) and wanted to shut down the computer. The screen got dark, and that was it: no shutdown! I could even click all the icons on the dark desktop, the menu, everything, except the shutdown. I had to swith to a console window, logon as root and shutdown. - I restarted to find out, googled, and you know what: you have to need the VLS phonon backed, if you want to be able to shutdown! - SO now, fingers crossed, I have a computer that can play music, send emails, display a directory containg html files, and even shutdown! It is just that nepomuk crashes when opening dolphin, but who cares about nepomuk? Great, isn't it! For sure worthwhile spending hours and hours instead of having a nice night in the city or go to bed early for once... But sometimes I get the impression that I'd better writer my letters by hand, sit on a horse and hand it out personally - might be faster. And to listen to music use my old vinyl disc player. Still works. No KDE in it! Good night! Daniel On Wednesday 16 February 2011 00.10:28, Daniel Bauer wrote:

I completely sympathize and absolutely agree that progress often isn't. Very often. In very many ways. Unnecessarily. -- bkw On 2/15/2011 8:25 PM, Daniel Bauer wrote:

Is there an (upstream) bug report for this?
- after a hint, I upgraded to KDE 4.6: - doplhin worked, but there was no streaming in amarok
What kind of streaming?

We're switching the default backend to gstreamer + PulseAudio for 11.4, as discussed on opensuse-kde@opensuse.org, with calls for testing. Please be more specific about the failed streaming in Amarok so that we can make sure that it works with the default 11.4 setup (and the Fluenod mp3 plugin, not the Packman packages).

Our KDE 4.6 packages are under development for openSUSE 11.4. If you use them you should *) expect problems *) read opensuse-kde@opensuse.org and discuss problems at Anyway it seems everyone gets robbed going out in Barcelona so at least you still have your valuables.
