Hi,
I have Amarok Version 2.8.0 Using KDE 4.14.16 on Xubuntu 16.04. It can't play Windows Media8 files. It gives a "Windows Media 8 files not supported" message. It's usin gstream 1.0 backend. Here is output when I play hen with mplayer: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ $ mplayer 02\ Faixa\ 2.wma MPlayer 1.2.1 (Debian), built with gcc-5.3.1 (C) 2000-2016 MPlayer Team mplayer: could not connect to socket mplayer: No such file or directory Failed to open LIRC support.
