Fwd: Two problems with Amarok: crashing & non-playing

[Thomas Lübking]

The crash seems related to the Contextview (the central element in the  
default layout)
Likely due to some plasmoid or a "broken" plasmoid configuration (invalid  
values, whatever)
Have you filed a bugreport including a backtrace?
If not, this is just about the first thing you should do, because "works,  
crashes, i remove a config -> works, crashes later on" is not a good  
source to investigate on but rather as informative as "He's dead, Jim!" ;-)

The playback issue might be related, might be not. Maybe a missing codec,  
maybe a general Phonon issue, maybe your speakers aren't turned on =)
When talking about the "progressbar" and "time indicator" you mean some  
items in the context view or the two things in the toolbar (or one/one)?
Does it (temporarily) "fix" with removing the mentioned config file as  
well?

Cheers,
Thomas
