Amarok engine error

[eagle_y2j]

Just updated amarok 1.4.4 to 1.4.5 now i can't play any media it gives

Error:no engine loaded can't start playback

amarokxine and libxine are there on system

 

[QwertyManiac]

Go to Tools > Configure Amarok > Engine and select Xine there if not already selected.

Plus, its libxine-extracodecs that Amarok needs ..

idk but i was able to play media using amarokxine and libxine may be this newer verion needs ibxine-extracodecs

No not that way, that extra-codecs allows media like MP3 and a few other popular sorts to play ... Odd the engine isn't showing, can you attempt a re-installation of the Xine engines? Or check if there's an update for them?

Glad it is, Amarok 1.4.5 has album arts now Just enter an album's song list in the explorer and you can see it

^^ lots of new features +changes but splash screen remained same for me !

 

[QwertyManiac]

I think that can be customized via the .kde folders. Don't remember exact filenames to give though, maybe eddie will give it if he looks by here ..

Put a JPG at the following location with name splash_screen.jpg
~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/images/splash_screen.jpg

Here is one I am currently using

*xs115.xs.to/xs115/07180/splash_screen.jpg

On suse 10.2 splash is located here

/opt/kde3/share/apps/amarok/images/splash_screen.jpg

I replaced default with this one
*www.kde-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/51132-1.png

@offtopic: ~ is there any lyrics script for desi songs (punjabi,hindi)

Splash screen in that location will be replaced every time you update Amarok. OTOH any modifications done in your home directory will stay until you make changes yourself.
