It also happens with dynamic playlist. Playback stops after every track.
This is actually kind of major for me... Nobody else gets this?

Nothing like this happened here lately.
Which Phonon backend are you using?
Tried an empty config?

Thanks lydia, an empty config solved the problem :)
I didn't think some settings could provoke such a bug...
I was using phonon-xine btw.

That is very odd. I would have loved to see a diff between old config and new :)

Markey, I've made further investigation and I found out the cause of this.
The problem is when "Resume playback on start" is active AND you close amarok while a last.fm radio is playing.

I can reproduce it with the following:

- Activate "Resume playback on start"
- Clear the playlist
- Add a last.fm radio: I only tried "Global Tags"
- Start playing the stream
- Close Amarok

amarokrc now has an entry that looks like this:
Resume Time=143000
Resume Track[$e]=http://play.last.fm/user/07c13136c1557cc5fe8e61774cc1fcaa.mp3

- Start Amarok
- The stream obviously isn't resumed
- Append an album or any track to the playlist
- Start playing
- Playback stops after every track


Until this string is removed from amarokrc, the problem will persist, no matter what.
Resume Track[$e]=http://play.last.fm/user/07c13136c1557cc5fe8e61774cc1fcaa.mp3

Thanks Mikko.
Reopening.

Thanks Micco. I'm going to check this.

Mikko, I could indeed reproduce the problem, following your steps exactly. Very very bizarre :)

I'm working on a fix, hold on.

SVN commit 873843 by markey:

With "Resume Playback On Startup", only ever resume local tracks. When resuming e.g. Last.fm the result can be very grave side effects, like Amarok not progressing to the next track.
