Version: 2.2.1.90 (using 4.3.85 (KDE 4.3.85 (KDE 4.4 Beta2)), Kubuntu packages) Compiler: cc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.31-17-generic In Amarok, setting all "Internet services" to disabled in the configuration dialog, it still shows "Podcasts", "Librivox.org" and "Cool Streams". This things should not be displayed - when all "Internet" plugins are disabled.
"Librivox.org" and "Cool Streams" are scripts and thus handled differently than the plugin based services. To disable these, look in tools->script manager. I will look into the podcast directory not obaying being disabled.
yes, maybe - from a programmer's point of view. That's exactly the problem - the average user (and even me, with some programming experience) thinks, hey, I disabled all the internet plugins, why the heck is librivox still there? That's what we've gotta learn in KDE. From a user's point of view it makes no difference wether it's a "script" or a "plugin". ;-) Anyway, thanks for the answer - are the scripts enabled per default in Amarok, or just installed in Kubuntu? is ist possible for such a script to hook itself into the "plugin" area (to show up there)? Or something similar? Banshee has a feature "disable all plugins that require internet access" - this would be useful here too maybe.
Changing to ServiceBrowser, pushed to wishlist
