Description Juan Ehrenhaus 2005-01-12 21:18:29 UTC
Version:           1.2-beta3 (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          updated for KDE3.3.2 for SUSE9.1 
OS:                Linux

I using xbindkeys to control amarok. 
with old versions 1.1.1 for instance was possible to control it through multimedia keybords keys 
But for the Version 1.2 Beta 2 and 1.2 Beta3 seems not possible to call amarok with "amarok -p". It crahses with full CPU usage (KDM could not be killed). 

But if I call him with "amarok %U" and then let it play from the pop up menu from the systry icon,  it works. 

Thank you for looking for the solution
My system again
SUSE9.1 Professional, KDE3.3.2
Comment 1 Juan Ehrenhaus 2005-01-12 22:05:17 UTC
by the way the followiing commands are working: 
amarok -r
amarok -s
amarok -f
amarok --pause
Comment 2 Greg Meyer 2005-02-02 06:36:52 UTC
Can you update to beta4 or current cvs and see if this still occurs?
Comment 3 Juan Ehrenhaus 2005-02-10 19:56:18 UTC
Hallo,
thank you for the feedback.
unfortunately, the behavior is still happened:
Try to start amarok Beta4 with the command line "amarok -p" and KDE 
freeze under 100% CPU charge.
I will start amarok only with one command to open it and start to play.
Even the command "play at start" under "Play settings" (Wiedergabe 
Einrichtung - I have the German version) doesn't help.
Please try to kill this bug and offer amarok a playable setting like 
xmms has.
Best regards,
Juan_Lutz

Comment 6 Max Howell 2005-02-11 18:14:18 UTC
audio-engine, look in the config-dialog.
Comment 7 Juan Ehrenhaus 2005-02-12 18:29:14 UTC
OK !
The audio engine I am using is aRts. SuSE9.1, KDE3.3.2, Gnome 2.6
I have also the following engines installed:

xine: but amarok crash when I select it. I am using xine for all other 
DVD and video multimedia files: Kaffeine, Kplayer, Xine without problem, 
even by playing MS formats.

Gstreamer: It seems to be OK under my SuSE9.1 system. But I missing the 
output-plugin ossink, that is present in other PC I have with SuSE9.2. 
Under SuSE9.1, Kde3.3.2 and Gnome 2.6  (even the installed some 
gestreamer files seems to be missing this one). Amarok don't chrash it 
but no sound come out. If you call with  the command "amarok -p" under 
SuSE9.2, amarok open it saying "list finished" and don't play you must 
select the play command once more.

aRts is work fine, but under SuSE9.1 the behavior is described in my bug 
96867 if you call first time amarok with "amarok -p"

Comment 8 Max Howell 2005-02-12 19:18:00 UTC
So can I just verify. The crash only occurs with aRts-engine?
Comment 9 Juan Ehrenhaus 2005-02-13 11:42:08 UTC
The crash described in Bug 96867 occurs under aRts engine, yes.

By the other ones (xine, gstreamer) amarok doesn't work properly.

Comment 10 Alexandre Oliveira 2005-04-25 03:07:21 UTC
So, how's this issue with 1.2.3?
Comment 11 Alexandre Oliveira 2005-06-27 05:54:27 UTC
Closing for lack of feedback.
Juan Ehrenhaus, please, if you want to help, get a newer version, and reopen the bug if necessary.
Comment 12 Juan Ehrenhaus 2005-06-27 19:36:29 UTC
Hi, 
sorry for the dealy sending you an answer. 
I am using the Version 1.2.3, compile in a SUSE9.1 with KDE 3.3.2
Unfortunately,  I still cann't open amarok using for instance F2 and the command "amarok -p" as in the past (Version 1.1.1) was. 
It should be a very good issue to activate it again. 
Best reagrds, 
Juan Ehrenhaus. 
Comment 13 Alexandre Oliveira 2005-06-27 23:07:06 UTC
Thanks for showing up, and notice that as the reporter you could have reopened the bug yourself (you just need to login before).
Anyway, this bug is very strange. If amaroK is crashing, please, try to get us a backtrace, or at least the debug information it outputs to console.
Comment 14 Greg Meyer 2005-08-15 21:27:03 UTC
Can you update to 1.3 final and see if this is still happening?
Comment 15 Juan Ehrenhaus 2005-08-16 22:32:44 UTC
Take a look at the amarok FORUM-HELP, please. 
I have other problems with the amarok 1.3.  For the moment I have downgrade to the Version 1.2.4 as I explained there. 
As soon as I get an operable 1.3 Version I will follow up this issue. Feedback then. 
THX you for your follow up. 
best reagrds, 
Juan Ehrenhaus 
Comment 16 Mark Kretschmann 2005-09-23 16:49:06 UTC
Closing, I can't reproduce this.
