Description Jack Black 2008-11-04 16:38:25 UTC

In the new amarok beta (1.94) the filebrowser stopped showing any kind of videofiles. In my case these are h264 and xvid encoded. Nevertheless  I have no problems playing them with the dragon player. 
My sound backend is xine 0.2 which worked just fine for previous amarok versions (except of the latest svn builds right before the new beta). My current KDE version is 4.1.3 (official packages in ArchLinux) but the error was already there in KDE 4.1.2 with some recent svn builds of amarok.

btw. I only have used amaroks filebrowser to transfer videos to my ipod. Music files are displayed.

It doesn't shows some of the files Dragon Player can play here either. Mainly .avi files. Not sure if that is the way it is supposed to be.

SVN commit 881022 by markey:

Again allow to browse and open video files.

For a while canDecode() used to filter out all non audio/ mimetypes, but now we allow video/ too (as it used to be a while back), as Amarok is also able to play these (be it with sound only, or with the Video applet).
