Amarok and musicbrainz

[Mauro Grauso]

Binary package hint: amarok

I'm noticing a problem with Amarok lately. When right clicking a song,
edit track information, and clicking the "Fill-in tags using
musicbrainz", the app just hangs forever and the CPU usage goes to
100%.

The libraries are installed and my kibuntu is dist-upgraded.

If I run amarok from the commandline to check the stderror, when I try
to use the musicbrainz feature, amarok shoots the following message
forever on stdout:

amarok: Status is: 1

Installed version are the following:

Kubuntu 6.06
amarok 1.4.3-0u
amarok-engines 1.4.3-0u
amarok-xine 1.4.3-0u
libmusicbrainz4c2a 2.1.2-2ubuntu
kernel 2.6.15-27-386

I used to have this problem only occasionally, but as of 1.4.4 it happens every time (I went a couple of months without using it, so I probably missed a few versions - may have become a consistent problem before 1.4.4). Confirmed.

According to the upstream report, updating libtunepimp to 0.5.0 could help.

[Rocco Stanzione (trappist)]

Gonna have to package (and depend on) libofa0 for libtunepimp 0.5.0. Available in debian unstable.

[Rocco Stanzione (trappist)]

Once libtunepimp is updated (? backported? fixed?) amarok will need a rebuild against it (assuming we move it to 0.5.0)

[Robert Carr (robertcarr)]

libofa0 is in from Debian unstable and I have submitted a debdiff for libtunepimp sources to 0.5.0

[Andrew Ash (ash211)]

What's the status of this bug? How's the debdiff coming, and are things working better now?

[Sarah Kowalik (hobbsee-deactivatedaccount)]

libtunepimp5 is already a dep of amarok, so this should be fixed.

libofa0 isnt a dep - is this needed if libtunepimp5 is installed?

[Lukáš Lalinský (luks)]

This should be fixed now. libtunepimp 0.5 was uploaded to Ubuntu and Amarok is linked against it.

Sarah Hobbs: There is no need for Amarok to depend on libofa0, it doesn't use it directly.

[Andrew Ash (ash211)]

If this is fixed now, can it be marked Fix Released for Amarok?

[Sarah Kowalik (hobbsee-deactivatedaccount)]

i think so

[Chow Loong Jin (hyperair)]

I'm reopening this bug since I've encountered it in Ubuntu Hardy Alpha 2, Amarok=2:1.4.8-0ubuntu1, libtunepimp5 (and libtunepimp5-mp3)=0.5.3-6ubuntu2.

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 alpha?

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

Closing due to a lack of response. This is less relevant now since Amarok2 current doesn't support musicbrainz.
