Description Thomas Hejze 2018-07-05 18:58:28 UTC 
Amarok 2.8.0 under KDE 4.14.33
OpenSUSE 42.3

I only use local sources for music on my notebook.
I created a playlist from various Albums, which are stored as files in a subdirectory of $HOME.

When being the current playlist, playing worked fine. Finally I saved the playlist to the Amarok-Database.
After flushing the current playlist and closing amarok, I started it again. Since then Amarok was not able to play that saved playlist.
The playlist is still there and can be copied to the current playlist. It has all informations except the path to the respective track.
When I select "edit metadata", I get the following error under "Note:":

"Das SStück kann nicht wiedergegeben werden. When Amarok was last closed, this track was at , but Amarok cannot find this track on the filesystem or in any of your collections anymore. Qou may try plugging in the device this track might be on."

As I said the files are all locally stored and have not been moved.
Best regards
Thomas

Could you please upgrade to Amarok 2.9? your version is obsolete.

KDE:Extra repository has Amarok 2.9.0 for openSUSE 42.3 in case you do not want to update to newer openSUSE version. Please ask for help in a forum of your distribution how to install software from the KDE:Extra repository.
