Amarok - missing info

Post by impeteperry »

I am running Mint 7 on 2 computers. both computers play the music fine through a Bose wave radio

on one, when playing a stream (otto's opera house) I get the name of the opera and the composer and the stop/start work fine.

on the other one, playing the same stream, I get only the URL and sometimes with stop/start I loose the Amarok installation and I get a long message . see Attachment.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Which version of Amarok?
Seems there are problems with 2.0.2 that is in the normal repositories so you should install 2.1.1
Probably best to uninstall the existing version first

Code: Select all

apt remove amarok
Enable the jaunty backports repository
I find the easiest way to do it is by editing

Code: Select all

gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
Find the line
#deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-backports main restricted universe multiverse
Uncomment it and update

Code: Select all

apt update
To install the new version

Code: Select all

apt install amarok
This will now install 2.1.1
