amarok 2.2 can't play audio cd

[ari67]

Binary package hint: amarok

If I insert an Audio CD in my cdrom drive and choose the option "play with Amarok" it does nothing. Amarok itself shows the cd icon but there are zero songs.
I use Kubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala with Amarok 2.2 "sun jammer".

Please press Alt+F2 then run "apport-collect 477667" (without the quotes). This will add needed information to your bug report.

[Testing Tigerwolf (testing.tigerwolf)]

Same problem using Amarok 2.2.1 on KDE 4.3.3 (Ubuntu Karmic 9.10)

By scruting input-outputs, the following sequence appears :

 .xsssio-errs .xsssio-errs .xsssio-errs

Moreover Amarok view the cd as a lonely track. If I choose "Add to playlist", nothing happens...

Amarok seems to fail to read the cd information. But the CD I attempt to read is a basic CD without any access-control.
"amarok: BEGIN: void AudioCdCollection::noInfoAvailable()"

>> Look at the attached debug trace

[Bruno (brunoalexandremiguel)]

Same problem here, with version 2.2.1

[Steffan Jacobs (steffanjacobs)]

It is confirmed then, and I just encountered this on my clean Kubuntu Karmic install + updates.

[mf-linux (maximo-fraga)]

It's sad to say this, but the problem is still present in Kubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx). This bug has been present on Kubuntu since Karmic distribution, and in my experience not only involved Amarok, but also KsCD and Kaffeine. I solved it by using VLC and Gnome Players instead.

[F7205 2610539 54B8BD49D49D (krugerk)]

according to http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/FAQ#How_do_I_play_audio-CDs inserting the disc should be enough. the cd should show up in location collection.

kubuntu 10.10 here
currently with kubuntu kde 4.6rc2 packages

can play the content using mplayer

It is stated that playing CDs will not work until the transition away from HAL is completed.

[Ivanonenadic (ivanonenadic)]

Version: 2.3.2 (using KDE 4.5.1)
OS: Linux

Amarok can't play Audio CD

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
When I put the audio cd into my dvd-rom, run the autorun, but when I select "Play Audio CD with Amarok" Amarok is open but we are not playing songs from Audio CDs! I tried to set the dvd device in System Preferences to put the "dev / cdrom" but nothing!
I even tried to "dev/sr0" because the dvd-rom in K3B-furnished in the "dev/sr0", which to me is excellent in K3b.

My DVD device is: Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-110D

Expected Results:
I wish that we normally Amarok plays audio CDs!

OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.35-22-generic
Compiler: cc

[Myriam Schweingruber (myriam)]

Does Amarok show the CD? Are you using a computer with two CD/DVD drives?

[Ivanonenadic (ivanonenadic)]

Yes, i using two DVD drives, DVD-RW and DVD-ROM

I confirm the bug.

On Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit (in fact kubuntu)
with kde 4.6

first version of amarok 2.4 shipped by my distro in its kde ppa channel could not see audiocds at all.

second packaged version sees the audiocd, can gather track names, but cannot play songs.

[Ivanonenadic (ivanonenadic)]

OK

Thank you for the feedback. Current Kubuntu 10.04 does not play CDs with Amarok as there is a transition from HAL to Udev for handling the hardware, but that should be resolved in the upcoming Kubuntu 11.04. Closing as downstream as this depends on your distribution.

Please reopen and remove RESOLVED as DOWNSTREAM as this does not appear to be a downstream problem.

Got my system upgraded to kubuntu natty that does exactly the same.

Audio cd media is now not even shown in amarok, although it is recognized by kde that propose playing the cd with amarok.

amarok -d --cdplay shows a very suspicios

Any other application meant to play the audio cd (including kscd) works just fine.

[Sergio Callegari (callegar)]

I managed getting amarok to see the audio cd once...
Still no luck at playing it

Amarok attempts at playing and pauses istantaneously...

At the same time, I get my system messages filled by tons of

[Myriam Schweingruber (myriam)]

Sergio, downstream means that it is Kubuntu specific, and you didn't change distribution AFAICT, so please report this downstream. Seems it is not yet fixed in Natty then.

[Sergio Callegari (callegar)]

Thanks, I understand this.

Yet the meaning of my bug report was to have amarok informed about the following:

1) Kubuntu is clearly doing its own best to properly package kde and so far they have made and excellent work. All the kde 4 applications needing to work with audio CDs work perfectly (kscd, dragon player, audex, etc.) only amarok is having problems in this area. While I am writing this email I am listening to audio CDs with natty, kde 4.6.3 and Dragon.

2) From the amarok debug info, it is quite evident that the OS makes the audio CD visible to amarok, providing information about the hardware (vendor: "HL-DT-ST" , product: "HL-DT-STCD-RW/DVD-ROM MU10N"), the track ("Adagio. Allegro - Symphony No. 38 in D, KV 504 "Prague"" ... "[EngineController] Just a normal, boring track... :-P") etc.

In this condition I cannot see what natty could do more. If you provide me with better details about what amarok expects and natty does not provide, I can try pass this information to the natty developers, but I believe that without assistance from the amarok developers this issue cannot be solved. The fact that the step from maverick to natty left this issue unsolved makes me convinced that unless there is some involvement of the amarok developers this issue will remain as is in the next kubuntu releases too.

My personal feeling is that for some reasons amarok uses different calls than dragon and other kde apps to _play_ the cd and that this is the root cause of the issue. Most likely, at the first issue/error in accessing the drive amarok just gives up, when other apps more correctly do not accepting the idea that there can be transient faults.

So please be so kind to detail what is expected from the distro to have amarok working or how to help debug the issue.

[Myriam Schweingruber (myriam)]

If you can play it with Dragonplayer then this is indeed an Amarok bug, reopening. Thank you for the feedback.

Still present

[Sergio Callegari (callegar)]

I also confirm that it is still present.
Funny it is so hard to identify what is causing it. But also quite problematic, since the very first thing that a media player should be supposed to do is to be capable of seeing the media to start with.

Hi ! (sorry for my bad english !)

ok for duplicate.

if you start amarok before and if you put audio cd in your cd/dvd player after, it show audio in collection and you can play it.

with notification (amarok not started), amarok don't see the audio cd...

Let me guess: you see the CD and the tracks but the tracks are grayed out? If yes, that is a different bug, #285885, this one was about CDs not being detected, even if some comments are misleading. Bug 285885 was not seen by all users but only on some specific setups in 2.5.

Currently we are in the process of releasing Amarok 2.6, and I am playing from a CD right now with the build of today, so this is definitely fixed now for all use cases.
