Version: 2.4.0 (using KDE 4.6.0) OS: Linux I encountered a number of strange issues, which I will summarize in this bug report. Whem I am playing a song and pause it, it often (but not every time!) refuses to play when I hit the Play button. There is a OSD saying that amarok continues playing, but there is no sound and the slider does not move. It also refuses playing any other song selected. Interestingly, that behaviour continues after quitting and opening amarok again. So I assume that it could be something with the backend. However, I am no expert and so I can hardly go trough the whole software stack and determine the source of this behaviour. I found a similar description of behavior ind Bug 257875 . Note: Amarok 2.4.0 on gstreamer backend and enabled Pulseaudio (!) I will deliver more Information if needed. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: Hardly possible. I seem to happen just by incident and whenever it want to happen. Possible magic involved. OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop Compiler: gcc
Could you please try with the Phonon VLC backend?
Yes, I will try it. I will report back after it.
Works flawlessly with phonon VLC backend 0.3.something so far.
Thank you for the feedback, I suspected this to be a backend problem.
Please get us a debug log http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/Phonon#Environment_Variables In particular also export PHONON_GST_GST_DEBUG=5 as this will give us gstreamer internal debug output.
Closing due to lack of feedback from reporter.
