Version: 2.2 (using KDE 4.3.1) OS: Linux Installed from: Unspecified Linux I'm using Amarok 2.2 on Archlinux 64bit and since first RC available in Arch I'm experiencing the same little bug. The OSD does not appear when track change automaticaly at the end of a song, the only moment it appears is when I manualy change the track or change the volume. This wasn't the case with Amarok 2.1 Please ask if you need more information.
This works fine for me in 2.2 (installed from tarball) on Kubuntu 9.04, KDE 4.3.1, might be a packaging issue?
Hum could be... I'm posting a bug on the Archlinux bugtracker too. But this would be realy weird, I don't think they modify Amarok before compiling it. Is there any specific options (with ./configure for example) related to OSD when compiling Amarok?
I can confirm, using debian packages.
I can confirm this is not a packaging problem, this problem does not appears on a computer's friend using the distro as me (64bit too). I don't know what's special with my configuration, I've a nvidia card but so do he...
You might be using different Phonon backends?
I'm using the xine backend, I always had problem with the gstreamer backend. Even right now I cannot get a sound from Amarok with the gstreamer backend even if the it work when I test sound in the system settings. I'll ask my friend to know what backend he is using.
Actually I can reproduce this now. Seems to be a regression.
I think this commit may have caused the regression: commit ba24bbf839143577713b3b256623a792a4028e0f Author: Seb Ruiz <ruiz@kde.org> Date: Sun Jun 21 01:03:08 2009 +0000 The OSD no longer subscribes to metadata changes. This fixes showing the osd when a track finishes (because finishedPlaying updates stats which notifies observers). It also fixes annoying problems of showing the osd when metadata changes (eg, editing a title) or the scanner updates a particular Track. svn path=/trunk/extragear/multimedia/amarok/; revision=984541
Fixed it: commit c5a8f3a019bce644a83dc110b5e41d281c0741e9 Author: Mark Kretschmann <kretschmann@kde.org> Date: Sat Oct 10 16:08:36 2009 +0200 Regression fix: OSD was not shown on automatic track change. BUG: 209376
