gstreamer update

Hi!

Since the recent gstreamer update (0.10.23 to 0.10.24) including the plugins amarok-git is only able to play a single file. It has to be closed to play the next one. I already recompiled amarok-git but that didn´t help.

Is this a gstreamer or a amarok problem?

Re: gstreamer update

Hello draugdel!

What's the symptom or event when you try to play it after the previous ? Is there any error output/log ? did you try to start it from console then see the stdout/stderr ?

Re: gstreamer update

Hi djszapi!

There is no event. Amarok switches to the next track and then just stops doing anything. It still responds, so I can switch to different tracks, but it never starts playing another song.

I tried it with "amarok --debug" on the command line but there was no specific error output, as far as I can see. I uploaded it anyway, maybe I am just blind.

Thanks

€: It just started playing another song after around 5 minutes of silence. I am going to test some more.

Re: gstreamer update

switching to phonon-xine backend solves the problem

Re: gstreamer update

Same thing here.  It does not only happen to Amarok, but also to juk.  I decided to install phonon-xine.
