Amarok unable to handle system:// locations

when i use the system:// location of KDE, amarok unable to locate the musik files, even if amarok was started by clicking the file.

when i use the "direct" method (eg: /home/musik/.../dontknow.ogg) the musik plays fine.

Re: Amarok unable to handle system:// locations

Yeah, you're right, I am currently using amaroK 1.4 beta 1, and if I try to add a track to the playlist from system:/home/media/audio/... , then it appears in the playlist but amaroK cannot play it. I looked in the amaroK bug database, and it seems that someone has filed a bug report about this for the xine engine. Are you using the xine engine? If not, then maybe you should go and report the bug. For now, maybe you could try using a different engine to see if that solves your problem.

Re: Amarok unable to handle system:// locations

the GStreamer engine does the same.
maybe i'll try to compille in statically the Helix engine, i saw the option in amarok's './configure --help' output, becouse none of the installable engines work with the system:// protocoll.

Hopefully you should be able to get the PKGBUILD for any of the supplied engine packages and modify it so you can create packages for the unsupplied engines.
