Created attachment 104921 [details] 1 minute stream rip The attached ogg is captured by using streamripper on public ogg streams. It contains 1 minute of music, but amarok believes it's much longer, making accurate positioning in the file difficult. It is only an example; other files show the problem (a 80 minute rip is claimed to have a length of 62 hours). Other players (audacity, deadbeef, audacious) don't have this problem.
Does this happen with both Phonon backends? Don't forget to restart Plasma after changing the Phonon backend.
(In reply to Myriam Schweingruber from comment #1) > Does this happen with both Phonon backends? Don't forget to restart Plasma > after changing the Phonon backend. This installation offers only the GStreamer backend. And please - why does the *backend* effect the way Amarok parses input files?
Simply because all sound related actions are performed by the phonon backend, including getting the length of a stream. We had differences in stream or track length reports in the past, and those definitely were backend related
