Description Stefan Borggraefe 2006-05-29 17:35:21 UTC
Version:           1.4.0 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

The following stream can't be played anymore with amaroK 1.4.0 (current Debian packages in Sid):

rtsp://a961.l672223081.c6722.g.lr.akamaistream.net/live/D/961/6722/v0001/reflector:23081

When I add the stream to the playlist, select it and press "Play", the play button appears pressed but nothing else happens.

This still worked with amaroK 1.4.0 beta3c. I always used the xine output module. This stream is still played fine with the xine program on the same computer (xine <stream-URL> on the command line), so I don't believe this is a bug in xine.

On Kubuntu Dapper Drake I can't play the radio stream   mms://dms-cl-014.skypro.tv/drs3 in Amarok 1.4.0. It worked fine with older versions of Amarok and still works with Kaffein.

Hi,

same here with the following Stream:

mms://ms.mdcs.dtag.de/encoder.toi.hr3_p_live

It plays perfectly in Kaffeine with Xine-Engine, but not in amarok since update to 1.4.0

Hi,

same here with a lot of streams.

It plays perfectly in other players.

Ciao!

Aloha,

"Ubuntu Dapper" users please try:

- install "libxine-extracodecs"
- restart amaroK

Has worked fine for me.

Can't reproduce. Listening to the stream right now with xine engine on Amarok svn.
Comment 7 Stefan Borggraefe 2006-07-05 20:42:11 UTC
Indeed. All streams mentioned in this report work again with Amarok 1.4.1. :-)
Comment 8 Sebastian Kosch 2006-07-08 21:00:45 UTC
maybe another Dapper packaging problem?
Comment 9 Alexander Tuschen 2006-07-10 21:03:47 UTC
Amarok 1.4.1 now begins to play the above mentioned stream 

mms://ms.mdcs.dtag.de/encoder.toi.hr3_p_live 

but it regulary crashes after about 2-3 seconds now.
I'm not sure if it's a packaging problem. 
I'm using Kubuntu 6.06 LTS with KDE 3.5.3
Comment 10 Sebastian Kosch 2006-07-11 12:01:20 UTC
I am using Amarok 1.4.1 compiled fresh from source now on my Kubuntu 6.06 and the stream still doesn't work ("No suitable input plugins found", though I have all possible codecs installed). The default-streams included in the Playlist "cool-streams" all lead either to the same error or to a crash.

I don't know what to do.
Comment 11 Mark Kretschmann 2006-07-11 12:11:55 UTC
Err, this has nothing to do with amarok. Ubuntu's xine lib is broken; there's a report in Ubuntu's bugzilla.
Comment 12 Sebastian Kosch 2006-07-11 13:46:34 UTC
Yes, you're right!

Therefore, for all (K)ubuntu-Dapper-Users:

-Download all possible video- and audio-codecs you can find
-Download xine-lib 1.1 from xinehq.de
-Compile and install it with    
  1    ./configure --x-libraries=/usr/lib --with-xv-path=/usr/lib
  2    make
  3    make install
(or whereever your X11- and Xvid-libs are)
-Restart Amarok

... and most of the radiostreams (though not all of them) should work perfectly.

Thanks for your patience, markey ;-P
Sebastian
Comment 13 Mark Kretschmann 2006-07-11 14:04:38 UTC
In fact you should download xine-lib 1.1.2, which has been released just 
yesterday.
Comment 14 Rico Zienke 2006-10-21 17:03:22 UTC
Hi,
i have also problems with playing radio streams with amarok: 

http://www.radioeins.de/live.smil (<audio src="rtsp://.../radioeins-live.ra" />)
works perfect but when the connection is broken for a little moment it seems that after a automatically reconnection two different streams are played at the same time

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/realaudio/media/r1live.rpm (rtsp://.../r1_dsat_g2.ra)
i got always the message "Es gibt keinen Audio-Kanal. " (There is no audio kanal)
same problem with 
http://www.fritz.de/_/fritz_sure.smi (<audio src="rtsp://.../fritz-live.ra" /> )
with other player (realplayer; kmplayer) i have no problems

rtsp://stream01.rbb-online.de/broadcast/inforadio (rtsp://.../inforadio)
when i try to play this address, amarok does nothing for a while (no reaction), then appears 100% buffered, amarok says stream is played but i hear nothing :-(

To sum up:
That are all rtsp streams which shows different/strange behaviours. *kopf_kratz*
AMarok: 1.4.3
KDE 3.5.5
using xine (xine-lib 1.1.2-r2)
regards Rico
Comment 15 Myriam Schweingruber 2009-08-02 20:33:10 UTC
Sorry, Amarok 1.4.x is not maintained anymore. The current stable version is Amarok 2.1.1, available in KDE 4.
