Last modified: 2006-01-27 17:53:41 UTC
I use alpha4,amarok-1.3.7-3 and arts-1.5.0-6. I can't use amarok because arts doesn't works,with xine engine I can't ear anything either. regards
you have to use the helix engine.
I'm sorry but I want to ear mp3/ogg files and with helix I think is not possible to do it... For me the problem is arts (sound control crash when try to test sound)... There are another bug related whit this regards
RESOLVED? I'm sorry,I just update to beta1 and see the same problem.arts doesn't works and amarok-arts either regards
read it from my lips: You have to use the helix engine.
I read your lips but you don't read my message from 2006-01-14:11 MST. I instaled helix engine for amarok and amarok doesn't play anything. Is amarok-helix 1.3.8-4 better than the old version? And on the other hand, if helix is the answer why to bother itself in putting arts in the distribution, no? This it is a site of bugs, if arts fails, I do not believe that the answer is, uses helix... regards PS You have very pretty lips... ;-)
I use beta 1 and the helix-engine I got from the Extras-dir did not work because the paths were not set correctly, I am not sure wheter SuSE can change anything about that, but it is certainly a bug! Also: You have to download RealPlayer. The paths for the module are set to: /common /plugins /codecs They should rather be: /usr/lib/RealPlayer10/common . . After that amarok played the tracks, yet I could not hear anything. I tried a few times and it worked finally. arts has nothing to do with it. The helix-engine supplied via Extras seems to not be able to use alsa, which might be a bug.
Forgot to mention. If RealPlayer is not yet a dependency of the helix-engine package, that might be an idea.
