what phonon backend are you using? xine or gstreamer? Does it work if you switch?
Multimedia settings: Gstreamer was the primary one. When I change to xine there is no difference!
did you restart amarok (or better KDE) after switching from gstreamer to xine?
I thought I did but I was wrong. Now, after restart with xine it works. BUT this might have a side effect on another bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172394
Then you should open a report for gstreamer.
Can't you switch this ticket to gsteamer? Or can I, is there a way to do this? Thank you! Martin

And you are sure you have the mp3 codecs for gstreamer installed? Those are different from the libxine1-ffmpeg
This should show the relevant packages on my machine: root@Innovation1:~# dpkg-query -l '*gstreamer*' |grep ii ii bluez-gstreamer 4.57-1 Bluetooth GStreamer support ii gstreamer0.10-alsa 0.10.25-7 GStreamer plugin for ALSA ii gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg 0.10.9-3 FFmpeg plugin for GStreamer ii gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 0.10.7.debian-1 Fluendo mp3 decoder GStreamer plugin ii gstreamer0.10-gnomevfs 0.10.25-7 GStreamer plugin for GnomeVFS ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-base 0.10.25-7 GStreamer plugins from the "base" set ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-good 0.10.17-1 GStreamer plugins from the "good" set ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly 0.10.13-2 GStreamer plugins from the "ugly" set ii gstreamer0.10-x 0.10.25-7 GStreamer plugins for X11 and Pango ii libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0 0.10.25-7 GStreamer libraries from the "base" set ii libgstreamer0.10-0 0.10.25-4+b1 Core GStreamer libraries and elements ii phonon-backend-gstreamer 4:4.3.1-5 Phonon GStreamer 0.10.x backend root@Innovation1:~# dpkg-query -l '*amarok*' |grep ii ii amarok 2.2.1-2 easy to use media player based on the KDE 4 technology platform ii amarok-common 2.2.1-2 architecture independent files for Amarok ii amarok-dbg 2.2.1-2 debugging symbols for Amarok ii amarok-utils 2.2.1-2 utilities for Amarok media player root@Innovation1:~# dpkg-query -l '*phonon*' |grep ii ii libphonon4 4:4.5.3-4 Qt 4 Phonon module ii phonon 4:4.5.3-4 Qt 4 Phonon module metapackage ii phonon-backend-gstreamer 4:4.3.1-5 Phonon GStreamer 0.10.x backend ii phonon-backend-xine 4:4.3.1-5 Phonon Xine 1.1.x backend Martin
Switched status because I already had sent info before. Regards, Martin
Martin, could you try again by removing the special characters (accents, umlauts) in the test file you showed in comment #1, please? If the file plays correctly then this is a known bug for the gstreamer backend not playing files with special characters in filenames: bug 198008
It is a bit more complicated. - Using gstreamer - Drag and drop from Konqueror to Amarok playlist /home/Musik/mp3/Fado\ Amalia\ \[Movie\ Play\]/01\ O\ Namorico\ da\ Rita.mp3 = /home/Musik/mp3/Fado Amalia [Movie Play]/01 O Namorico da Rita.mp3 will NOT be played! /home/Musik/mp3/Fado\ Amalia\ \[Movie\ Play\]/04\ Fado\ Amália.mp3 = /home/Musik/mp3/Fado Amalia [Movie Play]/04 Fado Amália.mp3 will NOT be played! /home/Musik/mp3/04\ Fado\ Amália.mp3 = /home/Musik/mp3/04 Fado Amália.mp3 WILL be played! So the reason is not the accent in the file name but the " [" or "]"in the path! Another example: /home/Musik/mp3/M\'Blu\ et\ Moi/Precious\ Spirit/M\'Blu\ et\ Moi\ -\ 01\ -\ Precious\ Spirit.mp3 = /home/Musik/mp3/M'Blu et Moi/Precious Spirit/M'Blu et Moi - 01 - Precious Spirit.mp3 WILL be played as well! Martin
Te other bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198008 is about "non-ASCII chars in name on non-UTF8-locales" but my installation should be a utf-8 system. I hope this is the correct command to show this: root@nnn:/home/Musik# locale -a C de_DE.utf8 POSIX Regards, Martin
*** Bug 233273 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Confirmed by duplicates.
please export PHONON_GST_DEBUG=5 and then run amarok --nofork, try to play such a file and attach the terminal output of amarok here. thanks.
Hello Harald, the problem seems to have gone so you can close this bug report. :-) Everything fine? Well I am too tired to continue with bug reports. See http://mynewkde4.wordpress.com/2011/01/06/never-ending-story/ :-# Regards, Martin
Great. Also about your blog post... The not being able to seek might indicate a problem with GStreamer itself. If you could send me an affected file by email I can try finding the cause. The crashing behavior you described will be gone in Phonon 4.5/KDE 4.7.

Attached the shortest mp3 I have. The problem occurs with any mp3 I tested. It does not occur with xine. Regards, Martin
reassigning to the new bugzilla product for better bug tracing of the various backends. Sorry for the noise.
