Description Ski 2018-01-22 20:51:49 UTC 
Sound system: phonon-gstreamer

Despite a clean install of Linux/KDE5, I have noticed this bug is still around (it's been in previous versions of Amarok, but I only recently got a KDE account to report it).

Go to Configure Amarok > Local Collection.

Enable "Scan folders recursively", it hard locks up Amarok, you have to do a kill -9 (or xkill) to get to restart Amarok. If you played songs before the lockup, all the stats will be lost.

We would need a backtrace for this, see also https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports

It would also be helpful if you could first test this with Amarok 2.9.0 or later, as there have been quite some changes since the beta version.
