Hi,<br>
<br>
Firstly, thank you for the feedback. It's always cool to hear from
our users :)<br>
Let me answer point by point.<br>
<br>

<div>First, I must say that I truly love the wonderful Amarok
music player, Thank You. I have checked a lot of music players
and music managers in Ms Windows and Linux for a long time
now, and I still think Amarok is the best one I have found. I
am currently running Linux Mint KDE 17.1 which I also think is
absolutely superb.<br>

That is what we like to hear, and I'm happy you enjoy it .<br>

<div dir="ltr">Secondly, I am having a problem when recording an
Internet Streaming station in that it will not stop
"streamripper" from recording when I click the stop recording
button, even if I set a timer, even if I exit Amarok. I have to
logout, or bring up "Ksysguard" to kill the process, or it will
continue to record.<br>
<div>
<div><br>
I finally found the program that controls this, which I
think is Java Script, in "/home/phil/.kde/share/apps/amarok/<b>main.js</b>".
I can see the code block on line 139 "function
recStreamStop()" which should stop "streamripper", which is
not working on my system. But, I do not know how to edit the
code correctly, or what to put in there to stop
"streamripper", maybe "killall -9 streamripper", and where
would I put that? If there is some better method, or code,
to do this? Please let me know.<br>
<br>
<span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,0)">function
recStreamStop() {<br>
if (recording == true) {<br>
recording = false;<br>
timer.stop();<br>
rectimer.stop();<br>
callerProc.terminate();<br>
callerProc.kill();<br>
removeRelay();<br>
<b><span style="color:rgb(204,0,0)"> killall -9
streamripper<span style=""></span></span></b><span
style=""></span><br>
Amarok.Window.ToolsMenu.mrecStream.enabled = true;<br>
Amarok.Window.ToolsMenu.recRadio.enabled = true;<br>
Amarok.Window.ToolsMenu.recWav.enabled = true;<br>
Amarok.Window.ToolsMenu.recStop.enabled = false;<br>
}<br>
}</span><br>

I cannot answer about this, since I've never worked on it.. Let's
wait for someone who know it.<br>

<div>Thirdly, it would be very cool, and functional, and super
convenient, to have the easy ability to put in multiple
play and or recording start and stop dates and times, and or
daily schedules, for individual Internet streaming stations,
similar to "Kradio" 's Alarms, or an even better easier
"right click" a streaming station, "add timer" method; and
obviously the ability to manage and edit timers. <br>

I think you can create a script to do this. This is not in our
priorities for the moment, but feel free to open a ticket on our
bugtracker to ask for enhancement. However, if you really want it, I
would rather advise you to try to play around this with the
scripting tools provided with amarok.<br>
<br>
Here you can find some documentation about it : <br>

<div dir="ltr">
<div>
<div>Fourthly, it would be really nice to have a direct
"single-click" way to get to the "saved Playlists", "Amarok
Database", and or "Playlist files on disk" in an opened
state (with the lists already displayed), on the toolbar, or
even a keyboard shortcut, and or maybe one or two icons
(launchers), at the top or bottom of the "current playlist";
and having multiple playlist tabs and tab options in the
currently playing playlist would sure be great too.<br>

This was already asked, and we all agree with you. We are currently
working a lot to port Amarok to the new Framework and to Qt5, but I
think this comes next :) (and I hope so!)<br>

<div>Lastly, it would be also be nice, although not essential,
to have Amarok, be able to open and play videos (ex: music
videos), even if it spawns an external media (video) player
which would require a configuration setting somewhere, maybe
a plug-in, or script.<br>

I think this will never be added... To be good in something, it's
better to focus in this something I think, and for us it's music...
Check VLC or whatever player you like.<br>
<br>
I hope I answered your questions. If you have some interests in
taking part in the development, we are also happy to welcome you :)<br>
<br>
Cheers and have Fun !<br>
