Description Peter ZHOU 2008-11-08 09:24:00 UTC

Version:           amarok2 SVN (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I use some music radio services that update their title from time to time. They usually show the current playing track info, which are very useful.

The playlist should auto update the current playing stream info and thus the lyrics scripts could auto fetch the right lyrics.

I can't reproduce this. The playlist updates fine with the xine Phonon backend.

Can you give an example stream that triggers the problem?

Comment 2 Mark Kretschmann 2008-11-08 10:19:44 UTC

Peter gave me this URL (a WMA stream), and I could reproduce the problem with it:

mms://media.iwant-in.net/pop

Comment 5 Mark Kretschmann 2008-11-20 16:55:18 UTC

So, is this a Phonon or an Amarok problem? Does it work with other Phonon players?

Comment 6 Peter ZHOU 2008-11-21 00:55:57 UTC

After reviewing the phonon code, I doubt if it is a xine bug. Anyone tried to play mms streams with the gstreamer backend?

This is not going to be fixed before 2.0.0, retargetting.

Comment 9 Mark Kretschmann 2009-03-25 17:31:36 UTC

Any news on this?

It's likely a Phonon issue, don't you think? So we should probably reassign it (if not yet fixed).

Comment 10 Mark Kretschmann 2009-04-16 12:09:51 UTC

Can't reproduce this problem any more with Amarok SVN trunk and KDE 4.2.2.

The stream seems to update its metadata now.
