Amarok crashes Plasma (sometimes)

Fri Sep 12 16:55:34 BST 2025

Hello,

Under certains conditions Amarok lets KDE PLamsa crash

System:
OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed x86_64 (latest version)
Kernel: Linux 6.16.5-1-default
DE: KDE Plasma 6.4.4
WM: KWin (X11)

Amarok diagnostic messages
General information:
   Amarok version: 3.3.1
   KDE Frameworks version: 6.17.0
   Qt version: 6.9.2
   GStreamer: GStreamer 1.26.5

Enabled scripts:

Enabled plug-ins:
   MySQL collection (1.0)
   Universal Mass Storage Collection (1.0)
   Audio CD Collection (1.0)
   Last.fm (1.0)
   Amarok 1.4 Import Tool (Fast Forward) (1.0)
   Amarok 2.x Import Tool (1.0)

Enabled applets:
   Lyrics
Current track

Situation:
Start Amarok.
While Amarok is scanning the mysql database, I push on the play buttom
to start a song, which of course is not yet possible. After the full
scan is done, I want to restart the song. The start button does not respond.

The only option is to close Amarok, restart it and wait until the scan
is complete.

But then Plasma crashes as soon as I push the play buttom. The song
plays normally and after en second of two plasma is back too

Be aware if I start Amarok normally, which I do 99,9 % of the time
(thus without doing the above), Plasma doesn’t crash.

Below is part of the log
