 Posted: Wed Mar 09, 2005 12:37 pm Post subject: amarok "Cannot connect Engine" [partly fixed] |
 |
|
I've a strange problem with amarok. It cannot load the xine engine.
I tried all version up from 1.1.1 but no success. I emerged it with different USE flags but no success.
I remerged xine, tried version 1.0 but no success. because the same package configuration is running without problems on
my thinkpad I'm at the end of my knowledge.
Does anyone has the same problem or does know a solution for this problem?

well, your "emerge info" doesnt show "xine" as USEflag.
i am not sure, but maybe "kdemultimedia" has to be compiled with the xine useflag as well?
what gives:
| Code: |
hds root # equery uses kdemultimedia
[ Searching for packages matching kdemultimedia... ]
[ Colour Code : set unset ]
[ Legend : Left column (U) - USE flags from make.conf ]
[ : Right column (I) - USE flags packages was installed with ]
[ Found these USE variables for kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.4.0_rc1 ]
U I
+ + alsa : Adds support for media-libs/alsa-lib (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture)
- - audiofile : Adds support for libaudiofile where applicable
+ + encode : Adds support for MEncoder or LaME encoder, wherever applicable
+ + flac : Adds support for the flac audio codec
+ + gstreamer : Adds support for media-libs/gstreamer (Streaming media)
+ + mad : Adds support for mad (high-quality mp3 decoder library and cli frontend)
+ + oggvorbis : Adds support for the OggVorbis audio encoding
- - speex : Adds support for the speex audio codec
- - theora : Adds support for the Theora Video Compression Codec
+ + xine : Add support for the XINE movie libraries
- - debug : Tells configure and the makefiles to build for debugging. Effects vary across packages, but generally it will at least add -g to CFLAGS. Remember to set FEATURES=nostrip too
+ + arts : Adds support for aRts: the KDE sound daemon
- - xinerama : Add support for the xinerama X11 extension, which allows you to stretch your display across multiple monitors
- - kdeenablefinal : Makes kde ebuilds use the enable-final flag, yielding big compilation speedups at the cost of very heavy mem usage

is xine enabled? |

Well I actually compiled it with xine enabled, just enabled xine in package.use
| Code: |
media-sound/amarok -gstreamer xine noamazon |
If you don't have arts enabled amarok does not need kdemultimedia.
I have a similar package configuration on my lappy - no kdemultimedia - and it works perfectly.
I actually think that ccache might have broken some libraries that amarok needs.

Try the following: | Code: | amarok --engine "xine" or
amarok --engine "gstreamer" (if you want gstreamer) |
I hope it solves your problem. I am afraid I don't have any other ideas. |

I've allready tried your cvs ebuild and the one from the amarok site - same problem.
I've done a extensive system check this weekend and at the moment I reinstall my system.
Allthough I will not get to know what the problem was but I hope this solves the issue.
Regards
Ruben

Did you perform a system update when this problem started occuring? My amarok broke right after that, the emerge wouldn't do docbook so I just emerged tunepimp and some other stuff not related to it I dont think my docbook problem should affect amarok though. My mp3's play just fine in kaffiene which also uses xine, at this point I think its a bug in the player or one of its dependencies.
Update If you emerge the 2.2 cvs build and kdemultimedia it adds another engine selection to amarok I selected it and everthing seems to be behaving normally now. Xine engine is still broken though hopefully they fix that and remove the need for kdemultimedia.

Problem is partly fixed.
| Code: | amaroK: [Loader] Starting amarokapp..
amaroK: [Loader] Don't run gdb, valgrind, etc. against this binary! Use amarokapp.
QObject::connect: Cannot connect Engine::Base::statusText( const QString& ) to (null)::shortMessage( const QString& )
QObject::connect: Cannot connect Engine::Base::infoMessage( const QString& ) to (null)::longMessage( const QString& )
QLayout: Adding KToolBar/mainToolBar (child of QVBox/unnamed) to layout for PlaylistWindow/PlaylistWindow |
I still get this startup error from amarok but compiled on xine-lib-1.0 it does not crash on startup.
You can not see the engine name in the Sound System Tab but it works fine.

hey. i was having the same kind of error, "Cannot connect engine" although i am using akode. everytime i'd trry and start amarok it would give that error and i'd usually have to reboot and then use it if i wanted it to work, what i did was go to Control Center>Sound & Multimedia>System Sound>Hardware(tab)
and for Select Audio Device i chaged it to Autodetect (it was previously set to ALSA) and that fixed the problem, dunno if it'll work for you but that's what i did |

I think it means some other app is using the audio device... Can you try som other sound playing app? If you get the same error, that's probably your problem...
Try killing some processes, or go to a lightweight WM, and try to start AmaroK there. Could be that your DE is holding the sound device? |

in control center, sound hardware - check "free device after xx seconds". 5 seconds should be fine.
IIRC it is set to 60 (1 minute) by default.
you guys probably have systems sounds enabled (i dont, because my speakers are off anyway if i do not listen to music).
does that help? |

I found the problem on my Gentoo. It was kpilot, when stopped, amarok started right. |

That didn`t work for me. Amarok runs fine, till I emerge the new version yesterday...I Think its the 1.23.

If you are using kernel 2.6.12, try going back to 2.6.11. This same thing was happening to me when I upgraded kernels and going back solved all the problems I was having. Good luck.
