amarok can't load xine engine
Last modified: 2006-02-09 21:06:28 UTC
i'm using amarok with the latest update to RC1, amarok 1.3.1 using KDE 3.4.2 level "b" and i'm on an iBook. I had audio working fine right away with alsa using the beta 4 installer, but now that i have upgraded to RC1, amarok is broken. when i go into engines in the preference panel and select the xine engine (is it the only one available other than the /dev/null thing), i get an error: xine was unable to initialize any audio-drivers. i then click on OK and it tells me in a pop-up box Sorry, the 'xine-engine' could not be loaded, instead we have loaded the 'void-engine'. so... that is pretty much all the date i can get right now i'm going to try to compile xine-lib from cvs and see if that fixes it, but i thought i'd let you know that the upgrade as it stands BREAKS the xine engine gavin
ok, so you do have a separate xine installation already? I don't recommend that you compile your own xine. rpm -qa | grep xine please.
pretty silent bug
