Amarok

Hi,

I've got a problem with getting amaroK 1.3.3 to work with the gStreamer back-end.  It works perfectly well with xine. While configuring the gStreamer backend works well (alsasink), when I select a track to be played, it "plays" it and immidietly skips to the next one. I've run amarok in console to see what happens, but it seems like an usual playback function call (I can't see any errors there).

I've got the following packages installed:

amarok-base-mysqlfree 1.3.3-1
amarok-engine-arts 1.3.3-1
amarok-engine-gst 1.3.3-1
amarok-engine-xine 1.3.3-1
gst-plugins 0.8.11-1
gstreamer 0.8.11-1

Amarok gives the following output to the console:

amarok: [controller] Loading URL: file:///mnt/media/Music/Depeche%20Mode/Ultra/12.%20Depeche%20Mode%20-%20Untitled.mp3
amarok: BEGIN: virtual bool GstEngine::load(const KURL&, bool)

amarok: [ThreadWeaver] Job completed: CurrentTrackJob. Jobs pending: 0

Of course I could just drop the whole idea and forget about gStreamer at all since xine is working really well. However, I don't like things not working the way I want them to (or not working at all wink ), so I'm somehow determined to get it to work wink

Any suggestions?

Re: Amarok

I'm not quite familiar with gstreamer, but I guess you additionally need gstreamer packages for a given audio format, e.g. gst-plugins-mad for mp3 playback.
