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: https://paste.kde.org/pza1te60q Please point me to the right direction if this isn't a Phonon bug pacman -Qs phonon local/phonon-qt4 4.9.0-1 local/phonon-qt4-gstreamer 4.9.0-1 local/phonon-qt4-vlc 0.9.0-1 local/phonon-qt5 4.9.0-1 local/phonon-qt5-gstreamer 4.9.0-1 local/phonon-qt5-vlc 0.9.0-1 local/vlc 2.2.3-2 local/amarok 2.8.0-9 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.
