Just copied my music collection and after configuring Amarok I see a funny problem: it plays the default song (Art of Nations) but does'nt play any file of the collection (.mp3 and .ogg).
Juk does'nt play any file too.
Before posting I have been looking for similar threads and according with them, now I have the following plugins installed:
Phonon backend is GStreamer.
Starting Amarok by cli I get the following output:
Code:
bash-4.3$ amarok

Clicking on any .mp3 I get it playing by XMMS.
Any solution? Am even ready to remove Amarok and installing a suggested player
I'm pretty sure amarok requires the gstreamer plugins to play mp3s (and possibly oggs, since you're running into problems with those as well). I think it needs gst-plugins-ugly, but there's also -bad and -libav if that doesn't work. All are available on SBo.
@ jheengut: - Hi! - Thanks for your kind concern, output hereby attached.
Slackware 14.2 64 bit installed from scratch.
@ bassmadrigal: - Hi! - Yes please, already I have been installing GST plugins as shown in the first post of the thread.
@ montagdude: - Hi! - Thanks to you too. I wait for new hints before installing more plugins as suggested in that link; already I have gst-plugins-bad0-0.10.23-x86_64-2alien. The faad2, libav and gst-plugins-bad are not into Alien Bob repository and I am afraid to mess up mixing sources.

Reason: Adding data
The gst-plugins-ugly-0.10.18-x86_64-1alien is for Slackware 13.37. It would conflict with the gst-plugins-ugly0-0.10.19-x86_64-2alien you installed (likely for 14.2).
With gstreamer, they have two versions 0.x and 1.x and neither are compatible with the other. In previous Slackware versions, the stock gstreamer package was 0.x, but with 14.2, it has switched to 1.x. Since 14.2 uses 1.x, amarok requires that version as well, and it doesn't seem Eric provides 1.x versions for -ugly or -bad. You would need to get those from SBo, possibly installing some of the optional dependencies beforehand (although, I don't think you need any of the optional dependencies for mp3 playback).
For sure, you need to remove gst-plugins-ugly-0.10.18-x86_64-1alien and probably reinstall gst-plugins-ugly0-0.10.19-x86_64-2alien, just to make sure all the files are as they should be. Then, I would recommend installing at least gst-plugins-ugly from SBo (SBo has the 0.x versions as gst0-plugins-*, and the 1.x versions as just gst-plugins-*, since Slackware has the 1.x gstreamer packages as gst-plugins-*). But since I'm not terribly familiar with what versions do what, you might also need to install gst-plugins-bad and gst-libav from SBo.
@ bassmadrigal: - Yes please, I did'nt noticed that or just confused, I remove all Alien Bob's GST plugins right now, I will reinstall getting them from SlackBuilds.org.
I will manage tomorrow because feeling a bit confused now

Reason: Spelling mistake
@Bourbon - Sorry for the misleading reply. I don't usually use Amarok or JuK. I usually stick to pithos (from SBo) and audacious. I think Audacious uses libmad for mp3s, which comes with Slackware. Glad you have some tunes!
@bassmadrigal - I am always very interested in your posts. I always seem to learn something more about Slackware from you and the other long time Slackware users.

I'm glad I can help. I was a lurker for a long time slowly building up my knowledge. Now, I try and share it when applicable. I prefer to not give just the answer, but also why it's the answer. Hopefully it helps people know why they're doing something rather than just doing it because they were told.
