gstreamer and amaroK
Hello, I'm having problems getting gstreamer to integrate with amaroK after I updated the packages. All I have in the engine tab is xine, there used to be gstreamer too. The first time I started amaroK after the upgraded to 1.4, it gave me a notification-error that gstreamer couldn't be loaded and that xine is used. I've tried rm -rf ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok and restarting amarok, doing a first run and all. But to no avail. Also I've checked to see if I missed an update with pkg_add -u gstreamer and pkg_add -u amarok and they all were up-to-date. From the update.log file these were the only warnings I received while installing the two packages: New package gstreamer-0.8.11p0 contains potentially unsafe operations @exec /usr/local/bin/gst-register /dev/null 21 (forcing update) Adding gstreamer-0.8.11p0 (replacing gstreamer-0.8.11p0) New package gstreamer-esd-0.8.11p7 contains potentially unsafe operations @exec /usr/local/bin/gst-register /dev/null 21 (forcing update) Old package gstreamer-esd-0.8.11 contains potentially unsafe operations @unexec /usr/local/bin/gst-register /dev/null 21 (forcing update) Adding gstreamer-esd-0.8.11p7 (replacing gstreamer-esd-0.8.11) New package gstreamer-mad-0.8.11p7 contains potentially unsafe operations @exec /usr/local/bin/gst-register /dev/null 21 (forcing update) Old package gstreamer-mad-0.8.11 contains potentially unsafe operations @unexec /usr/local/bin/gst-register /dev/null 21 (forcing update) Adding gstreamer-mad-0.8.11p7 (replacing gstreamer-mad-0.8.11) New package gstreamer-ogg-0.8.11p7 contains potentially unsafe operations @exec /usr/local/bin/gst-register /dev/null 21 (forcing update) Old package gstreamer-ogg-0.8.11 contains potentially unsafe operations @unexec /usr/local/bin/gst-register /dev/null 21 (forcing update) Adding gstreamer-ogg-0.8.11p7 (replacing gstreamer-ogg-0.8.11) New package gstreamer-plugins-0.8.11p7 contains potentially unsafe operations @exec GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE=`/usr/local/bin/gconftool-2 --get-default-source` /usr/local /bin/gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule /usr/local/share/schemas/gst-plugins/*.schemas /dev /null @exec /usr/local/bin/gst-register /dev/null 21 (forcing update) Old package gstreamer-plugins-0.8.11p4 contains potentially unsafe operations @unexec /usr/local/bin/gst-register /dev/null 21 (forcing update) Adding gstreamer-plugins-0.8.11p7 (replacing gstreamer-plugins-0.8.11p4) Here's my package details, and part of my dmesg.

All I have in the engine tab is xine, there used to be gstreamer too. This is intentional, since the xine engine has much smoother transitions and the amarok people are going in the xine direction. We may change course later, but since we're still with gstreamer 0.8 for OpenBSD 4.0, xine is currently the best choice.

I realize that, and I read about this change being planned somewhere, but I thought I'd let you know about it because on -stable amaroK was able to integrate gstreamer. Thanks for clearing this up.
