Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. load playlist 2. start playing Actual results: After a while amarok goes into a busy loop and stops responding. Additional info: The error appears to be in gstreamer since the amarok sends out a bunch of GStreamer errors on the commandline
Is it a playlist of local tracks, or is it streaming ? Could you try with the Helix engine ?
The playlist is local tracks. The helix engine doesn't support mp3 tracks so it wouldn't be applicable but I've recreated the amarok rpm with support for the xine engine and it has worked without problems when I installed and used that. I've previously attached gdb to a busy process and got a backtrace but didn't record it. I'll try to reinstall the original rpm and try that again. This is on a dual processor machine so I might be hitting a race condition since it happens at random times.
OK, the gstreamer engine is not quite finished in Amarok, which is why they removed it from the final 1.4 tarball. If the xine engine works for you, then fine.
