output of amarok --debug --debug-audio cmd

I have a playlist of 417 tracks (several albums). I can play the whole playlist in standard mode from top to bottom. Takes a couple of days but it successfully plays. How ever when I go to "random track" mode it stops pretty quickly. Attached is the output of "amarok --debug --debug-audio" cmd. This only happens in "random" mode. This is not bug ID 172249. It stops randomly last track or not.

Thank you for the report! However, 2.9.71 is a very outdated version, and I'm fairly confident I fixed this bug with commit 5cbe9219234380afbd5958f22ecbb95554fff51b back in 2024, and if not, this is something that has likely been fixed by moving away from Phonon. Please try a recent Amarok version (3.3.1).

Can you tell me what version of amarok introduced this bug. Maybe I can find an old version from opensuse that will maybe work for me?
Comment 3 Tuomas Nurmi 2025-11-07 19:47:14 UTC
The bug might have been introduced prior to 2010 or something. You don't want an old version. You want a new version. 3.3.1 is available in official openSUSE Tumbleweed repository, and various community repositories provide recent versions for Leap 15.6 ( https://software.opensuse.org/package/amarok ). As an alternative, a Flatpak is available on Flathub: https://flathub.org/apps/org.kde.amarok
