Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.2) Installed from: SuSE RPMs It would be nice if Amarok could read M3U files forward like Realplayer do. For example, open this file with Realplayer : http://www.rtbf.be/media/radio/alademande/prem_jeudico_1615/LU_play.m3u You can skip the beginning of the audio file and go directly to the 15th minute of the audio file (you go "forward)" I've tried this with the Amarok installed with my Suse10.0 and it doesn't seem to support this feature (yet?)
KIO doesn't support streaming over remote interfaces, sorry.

Seeking is supported.. Kind of.. See bug #72302 You have to specify when you start the get job that you want to read from position X instead of from the start, and when you want to skip to another part of the file, you have to close the job and reopen a new job at the new position. This has a bit of overhead though, because you need to start a new KIO job every time you seek.
Yes, but amaroK no longer utilizes KIO for playback. So it's entirely a backend thing. I have requested http seeking to be implemented in xine-lib; we will see what comes out of it.
