Oh...I should ask alll the questions
1) Did you recently move your music files?
No.
2) Are the permissions on the music files OK?
Yes.
3) If your accessing your music through a linked directory does the
link still exist?
N/A
4) Do you have access to your codecs which should be stored in
either:
x86_64 based installation
---------------------------
/usr/lib64/codecs
with softlinks to
/usr/lib64/win32
/usr/lib/codecs
/usr/lib/win32
i386 based installation
---------------------------
/usr/lib/codecs
with a softlink to
/usr/lib/win32
Yes.
Did something happen to the codecs directory?
No.
Are the proper permissions set to to your codecs?
I haven't touched them.
These are some of the questions I would ask?
To be clear: the earlier version of Amarok (2.1.x) was working perfectly
and I haven't changed any of the things you mention.
Full disclosure: I should note that I first tried 2.2.0 when it was in
updates-testing and noticed the problem at that time. I didn't report it
then because I thought it was so obvious that lots of people would be
seeing it (my bad). I just went back to 2.1.x using "yum downgrade" and
everything worked again. Then when 2.2 appeared in updates I updated
once more, but it turns out to be the same version that hadn't worked
for me and yum will no longer allow me to downgrade easily.
One more thing (this may be important): on normal startup Amarok gives a
bunch of console messages, some of which are related to QT. I enclose a
copy for your delectation. I'll post the same thing to BZ.
