Is anyone else having Problems with KDE4-Amarok Playing MP3’s? I’m running KDE4.2 release 83.1.
Any help would be greatly appreciated:)
Thanks;)
Works a treat for me. Sweet!
I deleted amarok from packman.
Added kde4 ver. That was it.
Same here. No mp3 playback. I tried upgrading phonon to the latest packages, but no luck.
Another success story here. Using 4.2.00 (KDE 4.2.0) “release 83.1”
after casual kde 4.2 update amarok 1.4.10 doesn’t add anything to playlist here.
To be able to play mp3s, you’ll need the libxine package from the Packman repository (i.e., this one). Naturally phonon-backend-xine (or something like that, don’t remember the name exactly) is also needed… Should be equally possible with gstreamer as well, but since I’m not using it I let someone else comment more on that.
I have problems with my Amarok. Sometimes it stops playing my playlist after some songs - but totally randomly. I need to kill Amarok - it isn’t responding.
Actually, this has happened to me on some occasions as well but never that bad that I’d needed to resort to killing processes… Seems to be reported [bugs.kde.org] already, so people will hopefully nail it down at some point.
Wow, thanks for this link! I’ll join to the discussion it’s like my problem, except I don’t need to start the Internet radio. 
Now I’m listening to Songbird. 
Yes, I’m running openSuse 11.1 with KDE4.2 and that’s what I had to do to stop it from crashing; too bad it wasn’t updated along with the rest of KDE.
