Fedora 6
GNOME 2.16

I know Amarok is a KDE app, but I love it and want it to work in GNOME. I have it working in SuSE with GNOME, by installing Amarok and dependencies then compiling from source xine-libs and xine-gui. Amarok is using the Xine engine.

So, I did the same thing in Fedora and while xine will play my streaming radio station (http://www.di.fm), I keep getting "no suitable demux plugin" messages and "url protocol not supported" error messages when I try to play them with Amarok.

I have my codecs loaded in /usr/local/lib/codecs and /usr/lib/codecs to make sure they are found. I can also run 'mplayer -playlist <playlist name>' and the stream is fine. MPlayer is using the same codec directories.

Any suggestions?

I decided to uninstall and go with xmms. In order for xmms to play streaming audio, I had to install the mp3 codecs located here, in convenient rpm format:

http://staff.xmms.org/priv/redhat8/

I wonder what would have happened if you had added the codec path to the $PATH variable?

please explane? have the same problem and i need amarok to sort my music and sync it with my ipod.
mp3s work but adding wav to my library doesnt, can manually add media to playlist and it will play in amarok but it wont show in my music collection.
Also trying to play aif format do not work,
Im using Fedora core 6 Gnome, also tried with KDE and it still doesnt work, just says no suitable demux plugin!!! can play em in xine...

HELP! tried to make it work for 2 weeks now =( (btw im a linux noob)

also tried other similar program like banshee and it doesnt work there either...

Tried all kinds of xine install, both built from source and yum install...

I didnt try this, I decide to use xmms, but if you want to try this, open a terminal, and type the following:

PATH=$PATH:/path/to/codecs

Where /path/to/codecs is the path to the codecs, like /usr/lib/codecs.

Then type

export PATH

Give amarok a try again and see if that fixes it. I am not sure if it will, but it is worth a shot. If you must have amarok, try SuSE, it works with Gnome for me on it.

Did you try installing the RPM mentioned above?
