It seems the error is in the NowPlaying data engine.

If you can reproduce the crash at will (or you experience this regularly), can you install the "kdeplasma-addons-dbg", "kdebase-workspace-dbg" packages and post a complete backtrace here? Thanks

Here's the backtrace with the additional packages installed:

I can confirm this issue. I'm getting the same crash quite often. Here's a recent backtrace, with KDE 4.3.2:

From bug 217747:
---
What I was doing when the application crashed:

- Started amarok after upgrading to 2.2.1-2  / Arch Linux i686
- Tried starting a last.fm radio station
- Amarok was unable to play even a single track from this stream with the
effect of more or less skipping each song after less than a second
- The plasma add-ons from amaroks context panel (Current track, lyrics,
wikipedia and video) were updated partially, e.g. for some tracks the 
lyrics were loaded, etc.
- Since Amarok did not stop this behaviour after stopping the playback
and clearing the playlist, I quit Amarok via the "quit" option in the context
menu of the systray icon

*** Bug 217747 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Does this still happen with KDE 4.4?

It looks like a potential issue with Plasma::DataEngine (and, in particular, Plasma::SignalRelay).  I think that Plasma::DataEngine is getting signals (via SignalRelay) when it's already been deleted.

I am a non-paying Last.fm user, so I haven't been able to stream through Amarok for awhile.  If anyone is a paying customer, they should be able to stream and determine if there is still a bug.

Just attaching the backtrace, as the replicatin procedure was almost the same than the opener said. I also noticed a huge amount of "copying" dialogs previous to the moment when plasma crashed right after trying to close Amarok.

I got the same crash with KDE 4.6.0 and Amarok 2.4.0, the backtrace matches the one from comment #15. I'm running openSUSE 11.3 on x86-64. Amarok was paused when the crash happened.

Before the crash, I got a lot of file transfer notifications, a few seconds between each one, with plasma-desktop shown as the initiating application (yellow cashew icon). Since this problem had occurred before, I was running plasma-desktop in a Konsole tab and this was printed there dozens of times prior to the crash:

plasma-desktop(7853)/plasma Mpris::artwork: "The process for the file protocol died unexpectedly." 

I don't know if this problem is related to the crash though. I haven't seen this problem before 4.6.0 and the crash was originally reported on 4.3.1.

- Unusual behavior I noticed:

Notification widgets starts flooding with:
File: finished

messages, nothing more. When I close amarok, flooding stops and then plasma crashes.
Seems like it is due to now playing widget

From bug 265663:
- What I was doing when the application crashed:
Amarok started sending a lot of "Cannot create I/O Slave" errors. When i opened
the context menu for the icon to close it, plasma crashed. 

- Unusual behavior I noticed:
All those errors with amarok, they were a lot, like 20 (They opened and closed
very fast).

Seems like removing the now playing applet fixes the issue!

- What I was doing when the application crashed:

I closed Amarok after unusual behaviour occured

- Unusual behavior I noticed:

In the event notification icon (i) there was an increasing number of seeminly empty notifications that merely contained a message like "file:/" and nothing else. more and more of these kept popping up out of nowhere. This started with 4.6 and continues to happen with 4.6.1. The problem appears nearly every time I use Amarok, kinda rendering it useless for me right now.

I had that problem too (see comment #18), but it disappeared when I removed the "now playing" plasma applet from my desktop (thanks, comment #22).

I can confirm that removing the applet indeed solves this.

 I think I found the reason. If ID3 with a picture of album, plasmoid not show picture, and the process of copying appeared.

I am also experiencing this problem.  It causes a notification to constantly appear stating that some file is finished copying.  Sometimes I can close Amarok and this will go away, other times, it will not.

This ALWAYS happens with an album that does not show its artwork in the "Now Playing" applet.  It SOMETIMES happens with albums that do have displayable artwork.

Is there any update on when this will be fixed?  It has managed to affect the "Now Playing" applet so badly that I cannot delete it.  I'm not sure where to manually remove it either.  So now I either play songs that have artwork, or I use another media player.

AHA!  I found how to manually remove the applet from the desktop/workspace/thing!  In .kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc there are entries for the "nowplaying" applet.  Remove the config blocks containing those entries*, save the file, and log out/in.  The applet will be gone.

* I had more than one due to trying to figure out how to get rid of it.

oops, that should have been CCBUG!

btw, anyone here: if you can test with beta2 (or rc1, or whatever the pre-relesae after beta1 gets called) and report your findings that would be great!

*** Bug 277253 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

The patch from comment #35 broke the nowplaying widget so it doesn't display the cover at all. Reverting this commit or changing the conditional in

m_artworkLoaded = oldArt != m_metadata.value("arturl");

makes it work again (i suppose that != is wrong because it must clear the flag when the old artwork and the new one is different and this does the opposite).

Fix the cover issue with the nowplaying widget.

Is this a fix? How do I insert the fix?

Just tried out the patch attached in comment #42 against KDE 4.7.0 and that seems to have cleared up the problem displaying album covers in the now playing plasmoid.

Also seem to have helped a bit with the excessive CPU usage I was seeing from that plasmoid.

plasma-desktop (0.4) on KDE Platform 4.6.00 (4.6.0) "release 6" using Qt 4.7.1

- Unusual behavior I noticed:
KDE notifications began going crazy, repeatedly saying that it was working on a "desktop process"(I do not remember the exact name of it now, but it displayed the panel toolbox icon). The description of the activity was just "file" and I was not doing anything with any files at the time. It would populate about 20 of these, and when one finished, another would start. This started about 5 minutes before the crash.

the patch looks pushed. Can somebody confirm that it works now and the bug can be closed?

it won't fix the crash (whatever is/was causing it), it just improves CPU usage.

The nowplaying engine has been largely rewritten for 4.9.  If you still have crashes with that version, please either reopen (if it is triggered in the same way) or file a new bug.
