Amarok memory leak when changing tracks https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=298627 Easily reproducible - just load up a playlist and select the repeat playlist option. The only plugins I am using are mass storage device and lastfm. I ran the following command to document the leak: top -b -d 150 -p 11866 &gt; amarok.txt I then imported the results into a google spreadsheet you can view here: http://goo.gl/Q4bZw Memory utilization started out at 7.4% and ended up at 31.9% after approx 48 hours. The leak is steady and unrelenting. I ran the same playlist under QMMP during the same period and memory utilization was steady at 2.5% throughout the period. </pre> Gerald B.

Many of you already know me, I'm Matěj Laitl a.k.a. strohel on IRC, I live in Czech Republic very close to the beautiful city of Prague (that you should definitely visit one day). I've rewritten iPod collection plugin and I've been working on transcode support and general bugfixing lately. My GSoC project is called Statistics synchronization for pluggable devices and Last.fm, you can read all the details including proposed implementation and time-line on project page [1]. My mentor is Myriam Schweingruber a.k.a. Mamarok. In short: * In the first part, I will implement inter-collection statistics synchronization. I will strive to merge this to master as soon as it is ready, this should be in first weeks of July. * In the second part, I'll put existing last.fm scrobbling support behind an abstraction layer and then implement statistics synchronization with scrobbling services on top of this layer. </pre> Matěj Laitl 2012-05-19T19:56:32 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.amarok.devel/17007 <pre>Hi! I solved this already for me. This is a documentation should anyone else have this issue and as question whether here are upstream issues involved. I reported it downstream with Debian already. Today, after just starting Amarok after having switched to Phonon VLC for testing whether Amarok does not skip or fail to playback certain songs - I did logout and login to switch - I just got: Die Amarok-Datenbank berichtet die folgenden Fehler: GREPME MySQLe query failed! (2000) on init In den meisten Fällen müssen diese Fehler behoben sein, bevor Amarok vollständig funktioniert. Amarok then started, but collection is empty. When I then quit Amarok its process is still there. It doesn´t respond to a SIGINT. martin&lt; at &gt;merkaba:~/.kde&gt; date ; kill 30466 Fr 18.

I am on Fedora 15 64 bits, kernel 2.6.42.7, and Amarok 1.4.1. I have had a related problem last month but the other way around, i.e. the sound did work on Amarok but not on Firefox. To fix it, on firefox, I have desactived DivX and it solved the problem. Any idea how to fix this one? Cheers. </pre> Carine Simon 2012-05-14T11:04:50 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.amarok.devel/17000 <pre>I have some large playlists that I like to shuffle. They can have anywhere from 2000 to 6000 tracks in them. I've noticed since a recent upgrade from Amarok 2.4 to Amarok 2.5 (debian testing), that it sometimes repeats the same track immediately after it finishes, and at this point, Amarok becomes confused about what the current track is. Sometimes the "now playing" is what it is going to play next, and other times, I can 't figure out what the relationship between "now playing" and the track I am currently hearing is. I don't have a reproducible test case for this yet. You can be sure I will post a bug report when I can figure out how to reproduce it reliably. I can give you some observations though: it seems to be really busy (CPU-wise) trying to determine what the next track is, and sometimes that process might take too long so amarok just repeats the same track instead of playing something new. So basically, amarok 2.5 seems to be almost unusable with large playlists. Anyone else experience this? </pre> Alan Ezust 2012-05-06T15:29:16 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.amarok.devel/16998 <pre>Henrik sent a message using the contact form at http://amarok.kde.org/en/contact. Hello, I installed Amarok 2.5.0.2 meanwhile on two machines, Laptop and PC. Both using Norton Internet Security 2012. After both installations I got a security warning from Norton regarding a threat. Details noted: systemsettings.exe Threat name: Suspicious.Cloud.5 Unknown Community Usage, Unknown Age, Risk High File: .......amarok\bin\systemsettings.exe Removed Amarok is running, but threat warnings always make me sweating.

I want to work on Implement MediaArtStorageSpec project. I have a basic knowledge of Qt and a strong background in C++. I have done a bug fix for kmplot project and also proposed patches for the project marble. I am very interested in doing the project and I am looking for someone who can mentor me on this. So, please do tell me who I should contact for this purpose.

The storage medium for artwork is a file system, inside a user's home directory. I also have prerequisite knowledge of C++ and a little of Qt. I would like to know what all things i need to know on working this project . Looking forward for your reply. </pre> parveen arora 2012-04-28T04:17:41 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.amarok.devel/16992 <pre>Kent Kilgore sent a message using the contact form at http://amarok.kde.org/en/contact. After spending LOTS of time ripping cds and moving them manually to a sansa clip mp3 player, I found everything in the "unknown" catagory. Then, I ran them through MP3tag v. 2.5 to add what I noticed were missing tags and change the names to something other players can read. The file name part seemed to work fine, but when I examine tags from tunes that came on the player, I noticed that not only did the name in the original players' songs have a "_" instead of a "-", but that the metadata shown in windows file properties, details did NOT have the album name even listed, but that the one created with Amarok doesn't show the artist catagory before the title one. Consequently, it appears that I'll probably have to use either the software that came with the player, or windows media player to re-rip all these cds, or spend WAY more time correcting the ones ripped with Amarok. Any suggestions? I tr</pre> kilgoremeister< at >gmail.com 2012-04-26T17:54:08 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.amarok.devel/16991 <pre>I posted a few yesterday wishing to do Season of KDE. I got a reply from Teo asking me to choose a project from Amarok. I came across this project idea "Implement MediaArtStorageSpec". I saw on the ideas page that it was available as a Season of KDE project. It would be great if someone could mentor me on this idea. _______________________________________________ Amarok mailing list Amarok&lt; at &gt;kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/amarok </pre> Arjun Basu 2012-04-25T17:39:09 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.amarok.devel/16989 <pre>Hello, my first attempt to use Amarok 2.4.0 (~ 11 months ago) failed, but now I had finally to switch from Amarok 2.3.2 to Amarok 2.4.3, since the old version had some display incompatibilities after my update from KDE 4.7.4 to 4.8.1. Unfortunately the problems with 2.4.3 are for me still the same as with 2.4.0. I understand that Amarok supports now an album interpret starting with 2.4.x. My local collection is typically sorted with the interpret at the first layer and the album name at the second layer (incl. year). In 2.3.2 this has for some albums the unfortunate effect that they are added to the various artists, just because one song is e.g. a duet. With 2.4.x this album is moved out of the various artists and I get individual entries now, one for each interpret variation. OK, therefore I select in 2.4.3 now the album interpret as first layer and - hooray - all titles of the album are grouped together within one entry (well, if the titles have the album interpret set). Promising. However, </pre> Jörg Schaible 2012-04-25T02:01:57 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.amarok.devel/16988 <pre>Hello, I am Arjun.

I wanted to send this as bug report, but as on trying to get diagnostic information it suddenly worked again, I just write a mail to here for now: I had this before, although it has been quite some time. Instead of just deleting the whole database and starting from scratch without understanding what has happened, I now want to understand whats going on here. On my Amarok machine, a ThinkPad T23, with Debian Wheezy/Sid, I just upgraded from KDE SC 4.6.5 to 4.7.4. Then I rebooted and started Amarok again. It played some tracks and then music stopped. As I looked Amarok was stopped. I thought it might have crashed. I started it again: - collection was empty, except for Amarok theme Art of Nations - playlist was empty I tried to update the collection database. Then I went to Settings/Collection and told it to scan the collection again. Nothing. Thats it. What has happened? IMHO thats absolutely a no-go.

I've updated the covers for a lot of albums and they're displayed in amarok but they do not get written to the files. When I open the file in VLC, the old album cover is still displayed. I've check the option "Write covers to file" in Settings -&gt; Configure Amarok -&gt; Collection but Amarok still doesn't write it. I installed the debug symbols and ran "amarok --debug --nofork" and here's the output: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/563257/ I was told by Valorie in the IRC to not include the startup information but wasn't sure how to do so and so have included all startup information. If there's some more information required, do let me know and I'll definitely provide them. </pre> Arvind S Raj 2012-03-09T10:37:24 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.amarok.devel/16966 <pre>Kamran sent a message using the contact form at http://amarok.kde.org/en/contact.
