Kubuntu 12.04 32 bit KDE 4.8.3 Amarok 2.5.90 from source There are apparently problems with the ID when retrieving a playlist save in the database. Apparently amarok can't find the uid for some of the tracks See attachement, I draged a playlist into the qeue. It works for some of the songs and not for some others (those in grey) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create a playlist 2.Save it 3.Close amarok 4.Ropen amarok 5.Drag the playlist into the qeue 6.Some of the files are greyed and can't be played. If however you drag them from the collection view it will work
Created attachment 71616 [details] The error message that appears
Are the tracks in the playlist from the local collection or somewhere else? Do the tracks play after a little way. They should also become enabled (i.e. not gray) once they are resolved. This could be just a view update problem.
Should have looked at the attachment. It seems codec install is conflicting with proxy loading of playlist tracks. See if installing the codecs manually ( sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras ) solves this problem for your install. Myriam: Something that should be added to the test plan: try to play MP3 without restricted codecs installed.
The whole collection is local (in /home/Music/ ) sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras seems to solve the problem :) Thanks Bart ! I don't know how the packaging process works and if it is possible but Maybe for the release, it would be good that the ubuntu-restricted-extras get automatically installed with amarok (or that amarok suggest to install it when it faces this kind of problem)

Done: http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Development/Testing#New_Installation FWIW: this is a wiki, feel free to add more tests.
