Works for me. Can you write detailed steps to reproduce that shows how you made this happen?

Comment 3 Robby Engelmann 2024-01-11 16:27:00 UTC

I am doing nothing special

1. remove cache, config and elisa database to start from scratch
2. start elisa
3. go to Albums and select what you want
4. Nothing is played, progress bar is not clickable but shows the arrows to increase/decrease album art panel above

using openSUSE Tumbleweed with the KDE unstable repos for plasma/frameworks and apps.
using wayland

Comment 4 Nate Graham 2024-01-11 16:41:38 UTC

Hmm, still cannot reproduce. I suspect this will end up being caused by a packaging issue. Can you run `elisa` in a terminal window and paste the output that's printed there when you reproduce the bug?

Comment 6 Nate Graham 2024-01-11 19:06:27 UTC

Ah, it appears to be issues with the QtMultimedia backend. You should be able to use the VLC backend by installing libvlc.

Comment 7 Robby Engelmann 2024-01-11 20:03:13 UTC

libvlc is already installed here

Comment 8 Nate Graham 2024-01-11 20:30:31 UTC

Them I guess it's not being used somehow? I'd recommend checking with your distro.

Comment 9 Jack Hill 2024-01-12 10:53:32 UTC

Just installing libvlc doesn't enable the VLC backend. Elisa needs to be compiled with libvlc for that to happen.
