Question Amarok upgrade to 1.4.5 problems...


Hi all.

Earlier today I decided to upgrade Amarok to ver 1.4.5 from 1.3.2. I used YaST with the Guru repository. Unfortunately, because of some arkward dependencies, I uninstalled my version then reinstall the whole thing. This seams to be fine, however...

There doesn't appear to be a helix engine for 1.4.5 (1.4.3 was the lastest I found) which was what I was using before the upgrade. I have installed xine output support but now I can't play mp3, m4a etc....

I tried to add the xine-extra package but that requires libxine1-1.1.3-0 which requires libXvMCW-0.9.3-0 which conflicts with xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-100....

So:

1) Is there a helix-engine out there or can I get amarok-helix-1.4.3 to work with Amarok-1.4.5

2) If not can anyone recomend a way of getting xine to support mp3 m4a etc.

This is really annoying as 1.3.2 worked perfectly with all file types. I might just downgrade to Amarok 1.4.3 if thats the easiest way...
Any ideas appreciated.

Chris
