Amarok

[matuskap]

Hi

can someone tell me how can i force amarok to play song after double click in Doplhin window instead of adding it to playlist? I tried to make doplhin to "append & play" song which is an option available in right-click file->actions->Amarok->append & play but i didnt know how and I cant seem to find necessary settings in preferences of Amarok to do the trick.

Can anyone help me with this one?

Re: Amarok

Add a "-p" to the laucher command and it will work.

Instructions:
- Right click Kmenu>Edit Applications...
- Navigate to Multimedia>Amarok
- Change the 'Command:' field from "amarok %U" to "amarok %U -p"

Let me know if this works.

Re: Amarok

This brings up an interesting question (for those of us who are always learning!): How does one learn what arguments are available for launching a given application via a launcher? Do they differ from the available command line arguments? Inquiring mind(s) want to know.

Re: Amarok

Most of the time you can find the available arguments by opening a terminal and typing the name of the application followed by '--help' (two dashes and help)

In this case I typed:
amarok --help

I don't think they differ from the command line arguments.

Amarok looking for text/html plugin

I use Amarok for listening to radio podcasts and experience an annoying phenomenon: If I pause listening to a podcast and return to launch it from where I left it, I will often get the error message: Amarok needs text/html plugin to play content; search for plugin now?
I do not suppose that the file type of the podcast has changed while it was paused. Sometimes I get the error message right from the beginning, but getting it after a pause is the most common. Explanation of what goes on will be appreciated, and a workaround even more.
Thanks
Ondo
