After upgrading to KDE4.2.1. and Amarok 2.0.2 I get a strange behaviour of Amarok.
The player skips tracks in the playlist: imagine list is songs A B C D E, if you start by A it plays A, then skips B (and maybe C) and plays on the following songs.
Note:
it is NOT a codec problem: if skipped song B is double-clicked, plays fine;
People were discussing this in amarok forums, and it looks as if it’s a distro-specific problem: Skipped Tracks
upgrading Phonon and xine did not solve the problem for me (as for others out there).
I’ve been getting this problem (although actually I get a split-second of sound from the beginning of skipped tracks) for a couple of days too. Just updated packages from KDE:KDE4:Factory on openSUSE 11.0:
Something that just occurred to me that might have relevance here, is that the tracks I’m playing are coming off a network share (plugged into a FRITZ!Bix 3270).
Is it possible that something changed in Amarok recently that means that if network traffic is delayed (for whatever reason), it will be concluded that the track doesn’t exist and it would be skipped?
