[SOLVED] Amarok "waits" before playing tracks

Hi there,

I've got an issue with amarok, any track I try to play actually starts after a while (let's say a minute or even more). If I have several tracks in my playlist, I've got similar trouble when I jump from one track to another...

Any hints?

My system is 64-bit, in case this matters.

You are not the first one wink Change the amarok backend from gstreamer to xine.

Re: [SOLVED] Amarok "waits" before playing tracks

Hi!!

What can i do when i cannot choose xine as an engine?
I actually think i have all the necessary things installed... can anyone point out the packages needed for making xine available?

Thanks!!
