Version: 2.4.0 (using KDE 4.5.5) OS: Linux "Backward" command does nothing for LIRCing: I have configured remote to use Backward Amarok command with 20000 as argument (as far as it denotes milliseconds). The command invoke does nothing. Of course, remote it self is tested and used with other frontends (say, irexec). But even without remote KDE Remote Config dialog permits to try command without RC (that "Try" button on command assigning dialog). "Fast forward" (as well as all other commands I'm using) do work as expected. Reproducible: Always
Which Phonon backend do you use? Did you try the backward shortcut with that backend? AFAIK there is a problem with the gstreamer backend in this regard
I have tried gstreamer and xine Phonon backends with the same result - "Backward" does nothing. Keyboard shortcut (Left arrow) does work at both cases.
Addition: I'm not sure "Component: Shortcuts" is valid selection.
Thank you for the feedback. Setting back to general.
Amarok 2.4.0 (KDE 4.5.5) Kubuntu 10.10 "Backward" don't work using dbus. "qdbus org.kde.amarok /Player Backward 5000" does nothing (with various values) "Forward" works fine.
Probably the issue can not be called "unconfirmed" anymore, can it?
Indeed
This is an automated message from the triager: Amarok 2.4.1 has been released on May 8 already. Could you please upgrade and test if you can still reproduce this bug? Without feedback within a month we will close this bug as resolved. Thank you for your understanding.
Yes, the issue still exists. To verify it is sufficient to start this command qdbus org.kde.amarok /Player Backward 10000 and observe current playing position doesn't change. While qdbus org.kde.amarok /Player Forward 10000 does work.
