This is distribution related, as the Neon devs have probably removed Qt4. Redirecting to Phonon.
Dear Myriam, does a realistic expected time scale exist for the portation of amarok to QT5?

Since we don't currently have anyone who has time and, most of all, willingness to work on this, I can't tell how long it ill take. Understand me right: it's not difficult, but tiresome and tedious work, and we can't force people to work on it in their free time... If you can live without the Context View, you can already use the Qt5 port, it is shipped by several rolling release distributions.
Dear Myriam, I suggest you to read that article: "http://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/Features/Clementine" Kindly and very sad for Amarok, Sönke Jensen Am 13.10.19 um 21:15 schrieb Myriam Schweingruber: > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=412708 > > --- Comment #3 from Myriam Schweingruber <myriam@kde.org> --- > (In reply to Sönke Jensen from comment #2) >> Dear Myriam, >> >> does a realistic expected time scale exist for the portation of amarok >> to QT5? >> >> Kindly and warm regards, >> Sönke >> > It is largely ported but for the Context View plasma widgets that need to be > ported to QML.
