since one of the last updates, when starting amarok all of a sudden pops up a message "Timeout on server 297.200.96.255: Socket operation timed out". now, i have no idea what that means, and as usual, there's no indication what and for what purpose started this request. the only network related feature i know and care about is fetching lyrics -- which afaiu starts only when a track plays, which is not yet the case here. Reproducible: Always

started a few times over and now notfied a very small progress bar at the left bottom, telling me about "downloading remote playlist". i don't know what a remote playlist that would be, i never created anything like that and i certainly was never asked about something like that. i disabled everything in "configure -> plugins -> internet services", and i certainly don't see anywhere something about a "remote playlist"

Try disabling the "Free Music Charts" script. I think that fixed it here.
Free Music Charts is disabled here, but I still get the message about 207.200.96.225. Did a whois on that IP address and it is owned by Netscape.
It's PlaylistFileLoaderJob displaying download errors as long messages. Would printing them as warnings in the debug log be okay?
Definitely better, yes.

Hi, I have the same problem, but what does PlaylistFileLoaderJob actually do? And what are the ramifications of ignoring these errors?
It loads playlists, including remote ones. Your errors are probably just some script trying to play some broken stream(s).
If it helps: The IP address belongs to Netscape/AOL.
AFAIK I don't have any remote playlists set up. However, would this include internet radio or podcast directory, etc. plug ins? Also, why would it be polling Netscape/AOL, and why would it be failing, given that my internet is fine?
(In reply to comment #12) > AFAIK I don't have any remote playlists set up. However, would this include > internet radio or podcast directory, etc. plug ins? Yep, like I said it's probably a radio script. Streams urls are inside these remote playlist files. Or do you get the errors with your scripts disabled? > Also, why would it be > polling Netscape/AOL, and why would it be failing, given that my internet is > fine? Should be a playlist file hosted there at some point, which this script is trying to download.

Or do you get the errors with your scripts disabled? Ah yes, disabling the "Cool Streams" script prevents this error. When enabled, I can expand the current operations and see about 20 playlists being downloaded. One stalls, and presumably is the source of this error.
