Description dag 2021-03-16 13:45:51 UTC 
SUMMARY
Amarok keeps filling up my /tmp/kde-<username>/ with a file called 
amarokS86887.m3u.part playing a continuos stream

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start a continuos stream from the net. Eg radiostream
2. Chek /tmp/kde-<username>
3. See a file that continues to grow until /tmp is full

OBSERVED RESULT
The file in /tmp just grows

EXPECTED RESULT
No extra file in /tmp. At least not a continuosly growing.

Comment 2 Tuomas Nurmi 2024-03-23 22:57:02 UTC 
Tested with Amarok 2.9.71, both vlc and gstreamer phonon backends, and https://icecast.live.yle.fi/radio/YleX3M/icecast.audio

Tried
sudo lsof |grep amarok |grep tmp
sudo lsof |grep amarok |grep m3u
and got no results.
Didn't also find anything that would look like a temp file when had a quick look around /tmp and some other places, so it might be that this has actually gotten fixed with KF5.

Please do reopen if you happen to encounter this with Amarok 2.9.71 (or later)
