Amarok 1.4.3 is out ! Here are the brand new packages for Mandriva 2006. This version of Amarok is a backport from the cooker repository and is built to work with KDE 3.4.2 (which is the default version that came with the free download edition of Mandriva 2006). I’ve also added in my repository all the missing depencies: TunePimp 0.4.2, libmtp and libofa0.
As requested by some peoples in my previous release, the MySQL support was missing. I’ve just added it for this 1.4.3 version. Please leave a comment to let me know if it work (or not), because I don’t use this feature myself.
As usual, take a look at previous release post and comments about Amarok if you experienced problems. There you will be able to get some tips.
Lynux has more power than it is given credit for. I
do like Microsoft; however, because of Microsoft, the
best applications are not being written for the best
O.S.’s. Under Microsoft’s hardware abstraction layer
(Windows NT and beyond)lies a dressed up and restricted DEC/Unix kernel.
Thanks for enabling the MySQL support. It works great.
I appreciate you being responsive to the comments.
Great job.
Hi,
SQL-support seems to work properly after a quickt test of 10min.
Stable and fast
Thx a lot !!!
Hey! My track scores and favourite tracks are unexistant since I upgraded to 1.4.2, and I can’t get rid of 1.4.2 or 1.4.3 to reinstall 1.4.0, that worked just… amazingly.
When I got your 1.4.2 RPMs, I had to delete my database so collection was rebuilt, losing a year and a half of statistics; now I got 1.4.3 and track scores are still invisible
…The only I wanted was LastFM integration, thankgod it finally works in your 1.4.3…
Any suggestion so my Amarok can store track scores and devise my favourite tracks? The 1-5 stars thingy and playback counter work, but not numerical scores, that Amarok uses to tell favs.
Thanks on advance…
Comment update: Apparently, scores in fact are somehow stored (on first play, given track scores 74 as usual; reload it and is zero again, but after replay, score is no more 74 –say 89; reload and is zero again…) but not human- nor “Statistics”- readable… You see zero, Statistics shows an empty “favourite tracks” list (same as sidebar), but Statistics’ play count and average-album stars rating are tracked, nor scores or stars given to specific tracks (sidebar shows “0/not rated” for all suggested tracks, even they are often played).
When using the xine engine (for 1.3 or 1.4 it must be said, a good number of my streamed tracks get:
Error Loading Media
No suitable demux plugin. This often means that the file format is not supported.
But they play fine in 1.3 with the arts engine - but the arts engine isn’t available for 1.4?
perfec for new an advanced user in linux
woowww… una nuova versione per il miglior player che abbia mai visto.. a partire da quelli per windows fino ad arrivare a quelli + famosi per linux
I’m using SQLite
i have some problems with the collection
unable to save the settings I have to write in amarokrc the place of the collection
musicbrainz doesn’t work
Hi Yves !
You’re right: musicbrainz doesn’t work for me too. It freeze and use all CPU resources. I’ll take a look to this problem closer.
About your collection stuff, it’s a known problem. See comments about the 1.4.1 release.
hi !!
Great for the packages,
but I’m on a X86_64 machine…
I’ve try to install th rpms, the srpms… and none of them works..
I’ve a problem with the xine engine, links toward the lib64xine-devel library seems not to be correct…
could you do smth for me ??
Mandriva 2006.0
Followed the instructions for adding kev-repository.
Installed 1.4.3 RPM (which uninstalled 1.3.1).
Tried from the command line: “no sound engine plugin found”. Tons of messages in the console - towards the top, a missing KDE resource dealing with sound engine.
Tried to de-install. Aah, but according to urpmi, 1.4.3 was never installed. Can’t select any other amarok version for install; either just “can’t select” or dependencies that look screwed (ie, need 1.4.3 scripts to select 1.4.1??). Tried to reinstall. That failed silently.
Totally hosed, and 80 or so CDs on my hard drive.
Hi !
I advise you to update to Mandriva 2007.0 which include the 1.4.3 release of Amarok.
ok
Klasss
Thanks
thanks
just trying out linux
Doesn’t work for me.
~/desktop $ sudo urpmi amarok-1.4.3-1mdk.i586.rpm
Some package requested cannot be installed:
amarok-1.4.3-1mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied libifp.so.4)
Continue? (Y/n) Y
~/desktop $ sudo urpmi libifp
no package named libifp
Can’t see libifp anywhere in the download area either.
libifpis located in the “contrib” repository of Mandriva. Here is the direct FTP link to Mandriva 2006.0 contrib repository.this program is good
