Version: 0.4-git (using KDE 4.6.5) OS: Linux Back when I reported missing tracker file types in the list of supported file types I missed to mention *the* tracker file type: audio/x-mod (.mod) Could you please add this? VLC supports it. Thanks. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Try to play a .mod file in Amarok. Actual Results: Amarok thinks it's not supported and refuses to play it. Expected Results: Music!
*** Bug 281001 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
@Trever: why was bug #281001 marked as a duplicate of this bug? .mod and .flv are different filetypes - one is a module file tracker format and the other one is a video file. I admit I am affected by this bug as well, but people who read this bug, may be unaware of the need to also add support for .flv files. Let me copy my bug report: Version: 0.4.1 (using KDE 4.7.0) OS: Linux If you download this file: http://www.shlomifish.org/Files/files/video/Berry%20Sacharof%20-%20Mefaneh%20Maqom.flv to the hard disk, and try to drag and drop it from Konqueror/Dolphin to Amarok, then Amarok will refuse to enqueue it when using Phonon-VLC. It works fine in Phonon-gstreamer. It happens with all .flv files I tried that I downloaded using youtube-dl from YouTube. I can successfully drag, drop and play the file from the Firefox web-service to Amarok, where it is displayed as a stream. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download the file to the hard disk. 2. Start Amarok. 3. Start dolphin. 4. Drag and drop the file from Dolphin to the Amarok playlist. Actual Results: Nothing happens. Expected Results: Amarok should enqueue and play the file. I'm on Mageia Linux Cauldron.
Sorry, I should have been a bit clearer. This bug actually affects libphonon itself. Currently, applications are expected to ask phonon for a list of 'supported' mime-types and then make the decision if something is supported or not. The problem is that mime-types are not codecs. A file of type application/mp4 might actually contain a theora stream. No way to tell by mere mime types of a file. The real solution is for the application to ask phonon if some file is supported or not. The list of 'supported' mime-types shouldn't be accessible to the application since that is entirely unreliable.

Is it part of the same symptom? Should it be reassigned as a bug of Amarok? What?
