Description Richard Longland 2010-05-25 15:16:58 UTC 
Hi All,

I'm using Amarok 2.3-GIT with the phonon-vlc backend (both pulled this morning). Amarok will occasionally stop after playing each track. This doesn't appear to happen with the xine backend, so I'm guessing it's a vlc thing. I've pasted the terminal output below. Please let me know if you need more info.

My original report has been marked has a duplicate of this one, but I've just rechecked, and the behaviour is true for all the backend I've tried: VLC, Mplayer, Gstreamer and Xine. Unless you need to restart amarok or even KDE which I wouldn't expect, so maybe this bug should be a duplicate of the other, but whatever, I just wanted to reiterate that this happens on all phono backends! But it doesn't happen if all the songs in the playlist belong to the same album, has previously stated.
Comment 3 iberlynx 2010-07-03 17:30:29 UTC 
Well! It seems as thought I did need to restart, which to me it makes no sense since linux isn't made to be restarted, this is not w$ndoez. But yesterday I had to restart and I had left gstreamer on has backend, so now playlist advance works all the time, not just when songs are from same album :P
I guess this means I was wrong.
Keep up the good work.

I cannot reproduce...
Can you check that you have VLC 1.1.1 and phonon-VLC 0.2.0 ?

Restarting an application after changing backends makes sense, nobody expects you to restart your system :)
I can't reproduce this at all

Reassigning to the new bugzilla product for better bug tracing of the various
backends. Sorry for the noise.
