Amarok busted after latest updates

[whatthefunk]

Did anybody else loose Amarok in the last couple days? It opens fine for me, but doesnt play anything....

Check to see which phonon backend you're using. I beleive there were a few issues with gstreamer in the last day or so.

See the following for more detail:
http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2014/03/26...untu-devel.txt

Also theres now a bug report at launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...e/+bug/1298125

On the upcoming beta 2 release site bug reports section:

qtwebkit build failure on several architectures. The result is that beta 2 images currently still have webkit using gstreamer0.10 while phonon uses gstreamer1.0. this causes .e.g amarok to crash. Upgrade packages to fix.

As noted above it seems to be architecture related. Both seem to work here... but the phonon vlc backend has been pretty stable.

cheers,

It is fully functional on my Saucy Install even including my "custom avatar" for "cool streams" that do not have a particular avatar.
