Description Remco vd Zon 2009-06-26 07:39:44 UTC
Version:           2.1.1 (using 4.2.4 (KDE 4.2.4) "release 2", KDE:42 / openSUSE_11.1)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.27.23-0.1-default

When a song is streamed via the web, the player does not allow one to search the music. The bar is simply disabled.

Also, there is no indication about the length of the song. (Other players, like VLC, do detect the length of the same song, and enable searching).

Reproduce:
Playlist -> Add Stream -> Fill in an MP3 (for example http://www.amy-lee.de/music/Haunted%202.mp3 ).

Expetected Behavoir.
* The length of the song should be set
* The player-bar should be 'growing' when more time elapses
* I can click somewhere in the player-bar, and music will be played at that time.

Amarok delegates all playback to Phonon (a KDE multimedia framework), which then delegates to other libraries.

Ergo, if Phonon reports that a file is not seekable, then Amarok unfortunately can't do it either.


Reassigning the report to Phonon.

Any news on this?
Comment 3 Myriam Schweingruber 2009-11-08 22:12:56 UTC
We would need a bit more information:
* Which phonon backend are you using?
* Can you reproduce this with current KDE 4.3.3 and Amarok 2.2.0 or later?

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and the GStreamer backend is able to seek remote media. The Xine backend still cannot seek though.
Comment 5 Myriam Schweingruber 2009-11-09 16:13:31 UTC
Thanks for the information. Changing to wish, since this is a non-implemented feature of this backend.

Phonon-xine can't also seek Minitube's (http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Minitube?content=111068 brilliant app IMO) streamed youtube videos. Phonon-gstreamer seeks them just fine.

ping ?
Comment 8 Harald Sitter 2011-01-13 21:52:36 UTC
The xine backend is running out of maintenance and wishlist items will no longer be implemented.
Therefore I am closing this bug report. Thanks anyway.
