Amarok stops after each track from Ampache v3.5.4 source Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add Ampache resource. 2. Put songs into Playlist and play them 3. Amarok stops after each track Actual Results: Amarok stops after each track Expected Results: The playlist plays through Didn't see any duplicates but when searching the web with Google this seems to be a recurring problem with various releases.
The local songs in my playlist are in black font, but the Ampache songs are greyed-out like they don't exist. Not sure if that matters.
Please upgrade to Amarok 2.7 and try again.
> Please upgrade to Amarok 2.7 and try again. Debian Unstable and Debian Experimental both don't have this package available, and Debian 7 (when released) will probably never get Amarok 2.7 in the repos. It's hard to suggest (and use) a stable release as a desktop when packages don't work as advertized, and hard to test new packages when there aren't any available. I'll look into building from source or another option, thanks for getting back to me. The report is about 2.6; if it's not going to be fixed I guess you can close this ticket. If I have time to build 2.7, I'll let you know.
We don't do backports to released versions, and to have reliable bug reports those need to be about the latest stable, There is too much difference in the code from one release to the other. Don't forget: we are upstream, so if you want your distribution to back-port stuff you need to address them. FWIW: this is most likely a problem of the phonon-backend-gstreamer, you might want to test the phonon-backend-vlc to confirm.
I'll post with Debian about a backport and your blog post about building from source looks complete, thank you. https://blogs.fsfe.org/myriam/2009/09/26/compiling-amarok-from-git-locally-full-summary/ Using the VLC backend already.
As noted, I have the VLC backend in use already. I tried following the HowTo at http://blogs.fsfe.org/myriam/2009/09/26/compiling-amarok-from-git-locally-full-summary/ but I can't find the binary after Amarok is built. Initially I tried to build it with: > cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/amarok/2.7/ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DebugFull $HOME/kde/src/amarok which gave a list of errors at startup (but there was a /usr/local/amarok/2.7/bin/amarok executable). I followed the info to 'make uninstall' and built it strictly according to the webpage > cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/kde -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DebugFull $HOME/kde/src/amarok and now I can't find the executable at all. I'd post there for assistance but the comments appear to be closed.

Also are you sure you do have all the dependencies? We currently do depend on Qt 4.8.2 for example, and KDE 4.9.x, so not sure you will really be able to build. FWIW: following that blog post by the letter just works, so if you change anything there you must know what you are doing, else I strongly suggest you do NOT change the prefix or any other of the settings. Please address support questions to the forum at http://forum.kde.org/amarok or ask in #amarok on irc.freenode.net
> We currently do depend on Qt 4.8.2 for example, and KDE 4.9.x, > so not sure you will really be able to build. Yep, unable to build (Debian Wheezy has KDE 4.8.4) and Debian packagers will very likely not backport the full KDE desktop (4.9.x) to Wheezy. Ampache in Amarok on Debian Wheezy seems to not be an option but I will post a bugreport on Debian regardless. This can be closed :(
Closing for now, please feel free to reopen if you can reproduce with 2.7 or later.
