Description Tom Kijas 2009-06-10 21:43:48 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Sometimes when I for ex. put 8 songs in playlist, and play it from the first, Amarok stops after the first-one. If it is the second-one, Amarok stops after it. Independence what number of the song Amarok stops playing after just one song. Don't know why. It is Amarok 2.1 in KDE4.2.4 (4.3 beta - same problem). I love this player and recommends it but it has much BUGs yet :( so it isn't for recommending yet.

I can confirm this issue, also on Kubuntu 9.04, amarok 2.1, KDE 4.2.90 (KDE 4.3. beta 2)

Comment 2 Myriam Schweingruber 2009-06-17 10:55:49 UTC

Do you both use the Xine backend?

Comment 3 Matt Casters 2009-06-17 11:10:07 UTC

Not a concision decision, but yes, I'm using the xine back-end.

Comment 4 Myriam Schweingruber 2009-06-17 11:29:05 UTC

Confirmed then.

Comment 5 Stephen Baker 2009-07-01 04:19:55 UTC

I also experience this (Amarok 2.1.1, KDE 4.2.4, Xine Backend, QT 4.5.1, Gentoo)

Also if I queue multiple tracks it stops after the first one.

I had something happen yesterday that might shed a little bit of light on a situation where this happens. It is consistent and reproduceable.

I have most of my collection on an external USB drive and it is checked in the list of folders as part of the collection.

When my PC starts up, this drive is not automounted (I am doing a cleanup in my archive before moving this drive to a small server in our house). So I need to mount it before I can play from it. I do this by clicking on it in Dolphin.

Yesterday I forgot to do this and started Amarok and clicked to play a few songs. Of course it did not play, so I went to Dolphin, clicked on the drive so it mounted and then went back to Amarok.

The song I clicked on now played, but it stopped after playing only one song.

Also, If I had a song playing and added another one to the playlist, Amarok would immediately jump to the new song and start playing it instead of just appending the new song to the list.

Restarting Amarok fixes the problem.

Amarok 2.1.1, Kubuntu 9.04, KDE 4.3

Oceanwatcher and my experience sound a lot like Bug 192114.  That bug was made a duplicate of Bug 191199 which I'm not sure I agree with, but I think this bug and Bug 192114 are definitely the same thing.

Comment 9 Myriam Schweingruber 2009-08-20 15:40:10 UTC

Sorry, must have mistyped the number in that other bug, corrected now.
