Hi Tuomas, that's a very nice, fast and comprehensive explanation. Thanks a lot - really appreciated! Some observations from my side: - gstreamer is installed on my system (and I am asking myself why it is not used by Amarok, see below) - both, phonon-vlc-qt5 and -qt6 are installed If I try to remove phonon-vlc-qt5, dependencies require removing Amarok. Haven't done this, of course. Removing of -qt6 is obviously possible, but not done. In terms of your statements regarding phonon-vlc, I have no idea how to address this topic. Even using openSUSE since 2008 I am not an expert for audio-related issues. I am not in the position to ask you, but could you eventually consider taking over the conversation with the respective phonon-vlc team? I guess we need an expert like you, and no man-in-the-middle with far less knowledge and experience. You know exactly what is needed and what is not, to get Amarok into a full working mode. However, aside from that, the question remains why Amarok does not use the (installed and available) gstreamer? Could you consider any other workaround? And why Amarok requests phonon-vlc-qt5 as dependency? (sorry for all these questions) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
