Description dory.thibault 2009-10-04 11:16:00 UTC
Version:           2.2 (using KDE 4.3.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unspecified Linux

I'm using Amarok 2.2 on Archlinux 64bit and since first RC available in Arch I'm experiencing the same little bug.
The OSD does not appear when track change automaticaly at the end of a song, the only moment it appears is when I manualy change the track or change the volume.
This wasn't the case with Amarok 2.1

Please ask if you need more information.

This works fine for me in 2.2 (installed from tarball) on Kubuntu 9.04, KDE 4.3.1, might be a packaging issue?
Comment 2 dory.thibault 2009-10-04 12:14:03 UTC
Hum could be... I'm posting a bug on the Archlinux bugtracker too.
But this would be realy weird, I don't think they modify Amarok before compiling it. Is there any specific options (with ./configure for example) related to OSD when compiling Amarok?
Comment 3 Anthony Vital 2009-10-04 12:36:02 UTC
I can confirm, using debian packages.
Comment 4 dory.thibault 2009-10-05 15:39:26 UTC
I can confirm this is not a packaging problem, this problem does not appears on a computer's friend using the distro as me (64bit too).
I don't know what's special with my configuration, I've a nvidia card but so do he...
Comment 5 Mark Kretschmann 2009-10-05 16:55:21 UTC
You might be using different Phonon backends?
Comment 6 dory.thibault 2009-10-05 17:11:45 UTC
I'm using the xine backend, I always had problem with the gstreamer backend. Even right now I cannot get a sound from Amarok with the gstreamer backend even if the it work when I test sound in the system settings.
I'll ask my friend to know what backend he is using.
Comment 7 Mark Kretschmann 2009-10-10 15:38:49 UTC
Actually I can reproduce this now. Seems to be a regression.
Comment 8 Mark Kretschmann 2009-10-10 15:56:31 UTC
I think this commit may have caused the regression:

    The OSD no longer subscribes to metadata changes. This fixes showing the
    osd when a track finishes (because finishedPlaying updates stats which
    notifies observers). It also fixes annoying problems of showing the osd
    when metadata changes (eg, editing a title) or the scanner updates a
    particular Track.
