Amarok freeze for 2-3 mins then starts playing song: help???

Hi guys,

I'm facing a strange problem with Amarok in the last 2 days.

It plays correctly the first song, but when it change song it hangs/freezes for 2-3 minutes and then starts playing the song.. Meanwhile the interface still works everything seems just fine, no strange output on the command line, nothing bad... it just doesn't play anything for 2-3 min!!

Any help???


Thanks,

Fabio Varesano

I finally got help from the #amarok channel on IRC .. I was getting crazy without music ;-)

Anyway .. for those who might have this same problems.. seems related to the most recent update with gstreamer.. it somehow introduce delays between song start and music to came out..

I fixed that simply installing the package phonon-xine which install another backand for phonon which uses xine libraries.
After installing the package phonon-xine just enable it from kde systemsettings, multimedia, backend.

Hope this helps,
