Amarok upgrade problem

[fatbloke]

Just fired up adept to see if there is any solution to the broken dependency thing with libcairo2 - and there was some other upgrades/updates, one of which was amarok.

So now, if I try to run it, I try to play a track and just get an error dialogue box that says that theres no "audio channel" available and it won't start playing whatever track is randomly selected.

This isn't correct, because I get all the system noises, some games and stuff, plus I'm currently listening to some tracks with Juk so how do I work out whats occuring with Amarok - which is my prefered media/music player ??

Re: Amarok upgrade problem

I got a similar errormessage after upgrading to Amarok 1.4.1:

Error Loading Media
There is no audio channel!
file:///....flac

The error is limited to playing flac files, my mp3 files are still playing fine. Before I used Amarok 1.4.0 which was working without a problem.

Hope somebody could suggest a solution.

Ivo.

Ha! Yes that hadn't occurred to me, but yes all my music is also in flac (I have a Rio Karma so can make full use of flac format).

Re: Amarok upgrade problem

I just upgraded to 1.4.1 and I'm having the same issue. I upgraded so that I could have mms/wma etc, but I'd rather be able to play flacs than streams. Wouldn't it be nice if everything worked though Anyone have any clue how to resolve this?

Seems like it's related to a bug in Xine. Upgrading to 1.1.2 should solve this. Haven't tried that yet, though.

Re: Amarok upgrade problem

Right now I'm listening to a flac file on Amarok 1.4.1

I just merged  this patch with the current Dapper version 1.1.1+ubuntu2-7.2.

I'm not an experienced packagebuilder at all, but at least it works for me. You could try it by downloading at least my file at underneath link "1", then give the command:

sudo dpkg -i libxine-main1_1.1.1+ubuntu2-7.2+patch1_i386.deb

After this you'll need to restart Amarok.

Hope this helps others as well. But of course best would be an official patch in the (k)ubuntu repositories.

1: libxine-main1_1.1.1+ubuntu2-7.2+patch1_i386.deb
2: libxine-dev_1.1.1+ubuntu2-7.2+patch1_i386.deb
