Description jensenr30 2019-05-29 08:12:12 UTC
Created attachment 120370 [details]
A picture showing my Amarok window.

SUMMARY
I cannot view any Wikipedia pages in Amarok.  It worked on my Linux Mint installation, but on Debian I am having trouble.  Nothing shows up (see attached image).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Debian 9 with KDE desktop environment.
2. Run Amarok
3. Try to get information from the Wikipedia applet.

OBSERVED RESULT
The Wikipedia applet is empty (only the title bar appears).  If I try this on a song that has no artist information, the title bar reads: "Wikipedia: Artist is needed for searching Wikipedia".  However, when I load a song with proper Artist, Album, and Track information, the title bar doesn't update.  The title bar only updates when I try to get information from a music file that has no artist/album/track information.

EXPECTED RESULT
I was expecting to be able to view the Wikipedia page of the song/artist/album.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIOS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Debian GNU/Linux 9
KDE Plasma Version: 5.8.6
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.28.0
Qt Version: 5.7.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I am using the VLC backend because the gstreamer backend could not play mp3 files.

I am really surprised how much I like being able to automatically read the Wikipedia pages of my music.  I was skeptical at first.  Whoever came up with the concept for this applet is a genius.

Thanks for making such an awesome Free Open Source music player!
