Version: 2.2.0 (using KDE 4.3.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Playback never starts. Fresh Ubuntu 9.10 Install. Amarok installed with the software center. I have solved the issue by installing an additional package. Commandline: "apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg". Perhaps I should post this bug to Ubuntu developers am not sure. Works perfectly when libxine1-ffmpeg is installed however. My humble guess is that if the Amarok installer would include libxine1-ffmpeg the bug should be eliminated. Thank you all developers for the amazing sound quality on Amarok.
