[Bug 94047] Amarok intermittently gives the error "no suitable demux plugin found" when trying to play remote streams/files

[Gabriel Dragffy]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: amarok

Trying to play remotely stored music files (e.g. mp3) or radio streams
sometimes gives an error pop-up that no suitable demux plugin was found.


To reproduce:
Double click on one of my radio streams and sometimes it will play OK, other times it will give me an error. If it gives an error I just keep trying to play different radio streams until it starts working again - then the original will work again.


As stated it is intermittent and damned annoying! It also happens when trying to play music over samba shares. Could it be a problem with the KIO slaves?


I have all required codecs installed, as I said it occurs randomly and will start working again if you keep fiddling with it. I can play all my mp3s, and radio streams perfectly using Totem or Rythmbox.
 
Will attach a screen grab of that error message.
