i am using suse 11.2 64 bit.i have installed all the restricted audio formats with one click install from the community site.even then amarok 2 is not able to play any audio.i changed the playback engine from xine to gstreamer and that at best plays one track and just hangs up.
presently i am using songbird but i am quite used to amarok.
so any ideas where i am going wrong or missing something
Please post some output of terminal commands:
zypper lr
rpm -qa | grep amarok
rpm -qa | grep kdelibs4
rpm -qa | grep xine
I suspect your KDE4 version is not matching with amarok. We’ll be able to find out after you post the output and help you to get it working. Amarok works best with Xine, so put that back as the engine.
