Which phonon backend are you using?

Comment 2 albrubesc 2021-05-11 11:35:52 UTC

Only is installed phonon-qt5-backend-gstreamer.x86_64 so I suppose the backend is gstreamer.

Comment 3 Harald Sitter 2021-05-11 11:40:19 UTC

Thanks.

You might want to use the vlc backend, I'm not convinced the gstreamer backend is all that maintained anymore.

Comment 4 albrubesc 2021-05-11 12:24:20 UTC

With the vlc backend works fine, thanks.

Comment 5 Nate Graham 2022-11-24 02:29:59 UTC

This backend for Phonon is no longer maintained or supported, and has not been for quite some time. Please use the VLC backend instead--which is the recommended and maintained replacement--and see if you can reproduce the issue there. If you can, please open a new bug report at https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=phonon-backend-vlc.

Thanks a lot!
