Version: 1.90 (using 4.1.00 (KDE 4.1.0), MS Visual Studio 2005 SP1) Compiler: cl.exe OS: Microsoft Windows (i686) release 6.0 (Vista Home Edition) When reading a flac file (with official DirectShow filters (Xiph.org) installed), Amarok (Windows) skips the song and jumps to the next song, or crashes (mostly when numerous flac files are one after the other). No plugins have been installed.
I am pretty sure this is a phonon issue. Can someone confirm that?
Yep, seems likely. I'm reassigning.
This report needs more information for a developer to be able to fix it (unless he can reproduce it - which I cannot, since I don't have a Windows system).
what specific kind of information? I'm installed the necessary codec to play .flac files with other media player (wmp, foobar a.s.o.). When I played .flac files, amarok 2 beta 1 reads the title and length correctly, but amarok overleap the tracks. Need some debug log? How could I activate the amarok/phonon debug mode? Where can I read about it? Sry, I'm new here.
Like I said - I have no Windows experience, so I can't tell you how to gather information. But any info you can find might be helpful: debug logs, debugger sessions (stepping through the code to see where it takes a wrong turn), whether other Phonon based apps have the problem (e.g. the mediaplayer example shipping with Qt), whether wmp plays flac properly...
Since I've looked at the Amarok code recently, I have a new idea: Apparently Amarok refuses to play all files that don't match the MIME types in Phonon::BackendCapabilities::availableMimeTypes(). Qt ships a Phonon example application called "capabilities". Please use this to check whether the FLAC mime type is listed.
But how do we launch this app, "capabilities"? The new versions of Amarok, even the 2.0 one, didn't change anything to the problem (I doubt Phonon has been updated)
I can confirm this bug on a Windows Vista Business machine. It never crashed, though it didn't play the file, but didn't proceed to the next song either.
Any news on this ? Thanks
Changing from crash to normal status. Do you have the flac codec installed? Please try with that: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/flac/flac-1.2.1b.exe and report back.
Closing for lack of feedback.
