amarok hangs

play the stream


Additional info:
xmms plays this stream fine.  It also fails for mp3 streams with the
gstreamer-ugly plugin.

The only output from amarok on the console is:

assertion `GST_IS_ELEMENT (src)' failed

Comment 1 Aurelien Bompard 2006-04-11 06:39:40 UTC

The Amarok devs say that it's a bug in gstreamer 0.10. Please try with a
different  engine, for example Helix. That should work (at least it worked for me)

Comment 2 Brian G. Anderson 2006-04-11 12:15:38 UTC

I switched to Helix and it worked for me for the ogg stream.  Of course, I can't
use Helix for mp3 streams as there doesn't seem to be an mp3 plugin for the
Helix engine.

Should this bug be moved to gstreamer?  I did a query and there is no such bug
against gstreamer or any of its plugins.

Comment 3 Aurelien Bompard 2007-01-11 13:17:54 UTC

The gstreamer engine has been known to have problem with remote streams. Please
stick to the Helix engine or use the new xine engine.
