2014-04-28 10:22:35 Harald Sitter description I just installed kubuntu 14.04. I wanted to listen to the mp3 based audio stream of my favorite radio station. But Amarok didn't play anything. Instead it stucked and I needed to kill it. As an Kubuntu proven user I googled and started to look for gstreamer plugins. Finally I found the fluendo mp3 one which worked fine for me. But there should be a hint that the data source can not be played back due to missing plugins. That is really needed to give people a hint where they have to optimize their system. When a Windoof user switches to linux the fist thing he might want to do is playing back a mp3 and the system does not support this. It is ok, but there should be at least a feedback of the system. [Workaround] sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-qapt [Impact] gstreamer0.10-qapt is missing, this package provides gstreamer-codec-installer which is used for on-demand codec installation. Every new installation without this package will be unable to install codecs ondemand making all Phonon based software (Amarok and Dragon Player by default) unable to play restricted codecs using media (e.g. MP3s). Worse yet, due to presumed bugs in phonon-gstreamer Amarok will actually crash after not being able to install a codec. [Test Case] Try to play an mp3 [Regression Potential] None. [Other Info] N/A ------ I just installed kubuntu 14.04. I wanted to listen to the mp3 based audio stream of my favorite radio station. But Amarok didn't play anything.

Worse yet, due to presumed bugs in phonon-gstreamer Amarok will actually crash after not being able to install a codec. As discussed on IRC this is resolved by introducing a hard dependency from kubuntu-meta (trusty) to gstreamer0.10-qapt. This is to ensure that all existing installations get the codec helper to ensure the best possible user experience. [Test Case] Try to play an mp3 in amarok on an otherwise new installation.
