Description jonny sutton 2010-10-20 20:01:09 UTC 
Version:           2.3.2 (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

When using the shortcut - either global or local, the track does not pause, instead it starts again from the beginning, I believe this is the action intended for the play shortcut not the play/pause which should stop the track at that point and resume playback at the same point at the second press of play/pause

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Start Amarok
Press play to start a track
Press Play/Pause shortcut to pause playback for resume at a later point

Actual Results:  
On pressing play/pause shortcut track plays from beginning

Expected Results:  
Track should have paused awaiting resume

OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.34.7-0.4-default
Compiler: gcc

This also happens to me but only on podcasts. If it is to any relevance, the podcast was downloaded from FriskyRadio.
Not only the shortcut restarts playback, the button on the UI also causes playback to be restarted.

Setting to confirmed.

This may be why occasionally the last.fm skips a track instead of pausing it. It's very intermittent for me. (Using Amarok on Ubuntu 10x).

I'm seeing the same behavior with flacs and mp3s on KDE 4.4.4 with amarok 2.4.1 on OpenSUSE 11.3; it works on OpenSUSE 11.4 with amarok 2.4.1 on KDE 4.6.0
Comment 6 Dima Ryazanov 2011-05-23 23:05:19 UTC 
I think I have repro steps:
- Play some streaming music (e.g., from Internet->Cool Streams)
- Pause it, resume it.
- Play a normal mp3 file.
- Pause it - now, the bug occurs; the track restarts instead of pausing.

If it doesn't repro, try a different stream.

Some other things I've noticed, possibly related: when I double-click an mp3 file while playing the stream, Amarok sometimes plays the wrong file (next one in the playlist?), or displays the track length incorrectly.

Could you please test with different Phonon backends? It would be good to know if this happens with both the gstreamer and the vlc backend.

Any news? Please see comment #7
Comment 9 Myriam Schweingruber 2011-09-08 20:28:34 UTC 
Closing for lack of feedback. Feel free to reopen this report if you can still reproduce this with current Amarok 2.4.3 or later and a very recent phonon-backend-gstreamer or phonon-backend-vlc.
