Bug ID: 389327 Summary: Amarok does not play last second(s) of tracks, affects played stats and last.fm scrobbling Product: amarok Version: 2.8.90 (2.9 beta) Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Playback Assignee: amarok-bugs-d...@kde.org Reporter: linuxst...@dski.net CC: ma...@laitl.cz Target Milestone: 2.9 Sound system backend: Phonon-gstreamer With a clean install of Linux / KDE5, Amarok does not play songs to the very end of the track, it is especially noticeable when tracks are continuous - there's no gapless playback. The problem causes two problems: 1. When playing tracks, the statistics of being played are not necessarily logged into the database (I use MariaDB, although the version that uses Amarok's own database has the same result). If you queue songs, or play songs normally, the ONLY song guaranteed to be logged into the database as played / date / time etc, is the very last track, which usually plays right to the very end of the track. I have played a few new tracks a few times, but they are not being logged as having ever been played because the tracks do not play to the end, The tracks are in the database correctly. 2. Because of the problem described in 1, this is affecting last.FM scrobbling. What happens is, a track plays, the details are sent to Last.FM as "now playing..." and you can see that on your Last.FM stats page. Then when you refresh your stats page on Last.FM when the next track starts playing, the track you were playing is deleted - it is registering as a user interrupted track, so it is not logged as having been played. Again, the one track that does get logged, is the very last track you play - it plays to the end. I have tracks on a tablet to test Last.FM using VLC, there is no problem with the Last.FM account, all tracks played on the tablet are logged, so it is definitely an Amarok problem. As a further test. I have queued just one track and let that play. It plays to the end, and it does get logged into Last/M stats properly as having been played. So the problem is with the tracks being cut short. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
