Package: amarok Version: 1.4.3-1 Severity: normal -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
Amarok consistently fails to work well with HTTP MP3 streams. If the server stops sending data, Amarok does not timeout, it just sits there not playing any more music. For example, SmoothJazz.com. Their playlist file has several URLs for the same stream. If one quits, Amarok should quickly move on to the next one. It doesn't. So, I go ahead and click the next track button, but instead of quickly doing that, it freezes the GUI and does nothing for several seconds. Then it either starts playing the next stream, or it slides up a sheet that complains about not being able to find an appropriate input plugin. Yet if I try again on another stream, it'll work fine...for a while. Then the same thing starts all over again. After several hours of this, I loaded up the SmoothJazz.com playlist in XMMS, and it's working great. If the stream drops out, I just double-click the next one, and it *instantly* plays it. No freezing, no complaints about input plugins even when the input plugins are right there. I know this doesn't give much concrete information, but it happens consistently. It's been happening since Amarok 1.3.x, and I guess it's not going to get fixed by itself. :( - -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-2-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages amarok depends on: hi amarok-engines 1.4.3-1 output engines for the Amarok audi hi amarok-xine [amarok- 1.4.3-1 xine engine for the Amarok audio p ii kdelibs4c2a 4:3.5.4-3 core libraries and binaries for al ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.17-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libaudio2 1.8-2 The Network Audio System (NAS).
