amarok wont play (SOLVED)

English Applications

Hello Community,

I have just installed opensuse 11.2 and I am trying to get Amarok to work. I click on Coolstreams, click on my favourite station.

The toolbar tells me the music is playing (confirms the name of the song and other of its details) but there is no sound nor timer count.

Could a music playing plugin be missing ?

If so what is it?

Thanks

Yan

Have you followed this guide yet (in order to install restricted formats)?

Can you play MP3’s? if not you are probably missing the codecs. Try to install the codecs using the one click install in the previous answer.

Also:
run Amarok from the command line and open the stream. see if you get any errors or warnings in the terminal screen. that should give you a notion about what’s missing.
