Version: 4.3.4 (using KDE 4.3.4) OS: Linux Installed from: Archlinux Packages When pressing the play button in KsCD, nothing happens. (The drive light remains off and the slider does not move.) I'm using the gstreamer Phonon backend. Other Phonon-based players, such as Dragon Player and Kaffeine for KDE4, are able to play CDs. I first noticed this problem after updating to version 4.3.3-1 of Arch Linux's kdemultimedia-kscd package. I reported the problem to Arch's bug tracker then, and the response was: Looks like upstream issue rahter than a packaging issue. Please report to upstream if not already reported. Thanks. The problem seemed to go away after updating to 4.3.4-1. However, the problem has now returned after some more system updates (but the KDE packages, including kdemultimedia-kscd, have not been updated since then, they are still at version 4.3.4-1).
Arch Linux has now updated to 4.4.0. KsCD doesn't seem to be having this problem in 4.4.0... at least, it hasn't yet.
I have the same problem in Archlinux now. Here is the console output after pressing 'Play' button: play stateChangedInternal newState: "PlayingState" previousState: "StoppedState" updateVolume Volume changed to - 50 From 50 [0xa26c944] main stream error: cannot pre fill buffer updateDuration Length changing from -1 to 3009560 stateChangedInternal newState: "ErrorState" previousState: "PlayingState" KDE version: 4.6.2 Archlinux -current
I can always reproduce it when I use phonon-vlc as the most preferable backend. But when I use phonon-xine, the issue is gone. But since phonon-xine is marked as deprecated (I read announcement here: http://www.archlinux.org/news/kde-sc-46-to-extra/), it'd be really good if kscd could work with other phonon backends.
The problem is happening again for me in 4.6.2. However, it doesn't always happen -- sometime it will play correctly, sometimes not, and I don't know what makes the difference. (Also, I'm using the phonon-gstreamer backend.)
I am an Arch user of the newest stable KDE (4.6.5, obviously). I would love to see the bug crushed. Trying to make it work, I did two hacks found on the net. First, I edited the second line of /usr/share/apps/solid/actions/kscd-play-audiocd.desktop to: X-KDE-Solid-Predicate=OpticalDisc.availableContent & 'Audio' which allowed me to launch KsCD right from the device notifier (it is another bug, but similarly nasty). The other hack was creation of /dev/cdrom -> /dev/sr0 symlink which enabled KsCD's CDDB fetch of CD-AUDIO metadata. Still, $ kscd [...CDDB fetch output...] $ [0x7f81ac001820] main stream error: cannot pre fill buffer So I guess I am stuck here. It seems to be udev or phonon related problem, but I have no knowledge to state anything for sure. If it works in any other distribution, one can ask the maintaining team, what hacks did they use to make it work. It is all I can give myself to help solve the problem.
Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!
Dear Bug Submitter, This is a reminder that this bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? This bug will be moved back to REPORTED Status for manual review later, which may take a while. If you are able to, please lend us a hand. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!
Thank you for reporting this issue in KDE software. As it has been a while since this issue was reported, can we please ask you to see if you can reproduce the issue with a recent software version? If you can reproduce the issue, please change the status to "REPORTED" when replying. Thank you!
I tried building KsCD from source, using the kf5 branch in the https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/kscd.git Git repository), but it failed to compile: [ 38%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/kscd.dir/mbmanager.cpp.o /home/amunkres/software/aur/kscd-git/src/kscd/mbmanager.cpp: In member function ‘void MBManager::discUpload(const QString&)’: /home/amunkres/software/aur/kscd-git/src/kscd/mbmanager.cpp:325:43: error: cannot convert ‘QString’ to ‘const QUrl&’ 325 | QDesktopServices::openUrl(url); | ^~~ | | | QString In file included from /usr/include/qt/QtGui/QDesktopServices:1, from /home/amunkres/software/aur/kscd-git/src/kscd/mbmanager.cpp:36: /usr/include/qt/QtGui/qdesktopservices.h:59:37: note: initializing argument 1 of ‘static bool QDesktopServices::openUrl(const QUrl&)’ 59 | static bool openUrl(const QUrl &url); | ~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~ make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/kscd.dir/build.make:197: CMakeFiles/kscd.dir/mbmanager.cpp.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:479: CMakeFiles/kscd.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [Makefile:136: all] Error 2 (See also the comments at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kscd-git -- the AUR package maintainer encountered this same compilation error.) However, the KsCD project on invent.kde.org is currently in "archived" status (see https://invent.kde.org/groups/multimedia/-/archived ), which seems to indicate that KsCD is no longer maintained? If so, then I suppose there's no reason to keep this bug open.
