Description Dalibor Horinek 2009-05-24 13:19:47 UTC
Description of problem:
Amarok player randomly stops playing songs even when repeat playlist is on. When next is pressed, next song is played, after that stops again. This happnes after some time since amarok is started. 
Also sometimes amarok skips a random number of songs in playlist, sometimes plays only a few seconds of the song and then skips to another one, if skips (Because of behaviour described above.)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.0.90 (2.fc11)

How reproducible:
Run amarok, load playlist and listen.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run amarok.
2. Repeat playlist on.
3. Let it play.
  
Actual results:
Random tracks skipping and stopping.

Expected results:
No skipping of tracks. 
No stopping after song when repeat is on.

randomly?  fun. :)

2.0.96-2 is available for testing, please try it,

Comment 2 Steven M. Parrish 2009-05-30 01:13:29 UTC
If you find the current release still has the same issue then please report this issue upstream at http://bugs.kde.org and also please add
the upstream information to this report.  We will monitor upstream for a
resolution.

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 16:29:13 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2009-06-19 12:16:15 UTC
Please retest against latest amarok-2.1 releases in updates.

Also, do any of the songs skipped happen to have any non alphanumeric characters in the filename (ie, like % or #)?

Comment 5 John Ruemker 2009-06-24 17:55:53 UTC
I'm not sure if this is the same problem as the reporter or not, but on amarok-2.1-1.fc11.x86_64 playback stops after completing each song in the playlist.  I have to go back and hit play again for it to continue.  There are no special characters in the filenames.  

Let me know if theres any other info I can provide.

Comment 6 John Ruemker 2009-06-25 16:03:02 UTC
Weird.  Its not doing it anymore after a reboot.  Disregard my comment.

-John

Comment 7 Dalibor Horinek 2009-06-26 15:55:29 UTC
Actually I think it's the same problem. After exiting and running amarok again, it plays fine for a while. 

I have amarok-2.1-1.fc11_x86_64 too and I still experience this weird behaviour. And there are no special characters in file names.

Comment 8 John Ruemker 2009-06-30 17:10:47 UTC
Ya you're right, the problem comes back after a few days for me.  

Aurelien, do you have any ideas?  I'm seeing similar reports on Ubuntu but no definitive solutions or root-cause ideas.  If I can provide any info let me know.

-John

Comment 9 Rex Dieter 2009-06-30 17:20:11 UTC
My experience is that issues like this are often triggerred by pulseaudio + (flaky) alsa drivers.

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue.

This is an issue that needs to be addressed by the upstream developers. Please report this at http://bugs.kde.org and then add the upstream report information to this report.  We will monitor the upstream report for a resolution to this issue, and will review any bug fixes that become available for consideration in future updates.

Setting status to NEEDINFO, and awaiting upstream bug report URL for tracking.

Thanks in advance.

Comment 12 Rex Dieter 2009-12-21 20:54:19 UTC
(re-triaging to phonon)

If on F-11 and moderately daring to be using kde-4.3.4 from updates-testing, mind testing out this combination of phonon + kdebase-runtime:

phonon: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=146890
kdebase-runtime: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=146903


If on F-12, the phonon/kdebase-runtime bits from the kde-4.3.4 in updates-testing should suffice.


Let's try this before bouncing anything upstream.
