Bug ID: 363192
Summary: Amarok & VLC both seek track when starting playing.
Sometimes seek to the end of the file and moves on to
the next one
Product: phonon-backend-vlc
Version: unspecified
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: sit...@kde.org
Reporter: abderrahman.naj...@gmail.com
CC: bcooks...@kde.org, f...@kde.org, j...@videolan.org,
myr...@kde.org
Alright, firstly I don't know the source of this bug. I filed it under Amarok,
but the dev there told me it's not related to Amarok
I suspect that the underlying libvlc used in the backend is the root cause
If VLC is running with a file in play (paused or resuming), then Amarok will
behave wrongly. Amarok will skip tracks in the playlist (actually it's seeking
to the end of the file, then the player moves on to the next song which then
again it finds itself at the end of the file which means it has to move to the
next one and so on), till it reaches a random track on that playlist that it'll
play fully.
In VLC meanwhile, sometimes the next played file will seek randomly to a point
in the video (but not to the end. Most of the time it skips the first 2 minutes
or so).
This behavior in Amarok stops when I press "Stop" in VLC. It doesn't matter if
Amarok was running first, or was started during VLC's playback (or if Amarok
had a file loaded 'paused' or not).
I've changed Amarok back to the GStreamer backend (but in System Settings it's
still set to prefer VLC). The problem still persists.
I've captured Amarok's debug output, not sure if it's much of a help:
