Package: amarok
Version: 2.8.0-1
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream
Since version 2.8, Amarok features the Analyzer applet, allowing
"visualization" of songs, as Winamp and WMP do:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_visualization
This is supposedly working with Phonon's GStreamer backend, but it doesn't work
here, where I use the VLC backend. When a song is playing, the applet doesn't
do anything in Blocky style. In the Balls style, nothing. Disco shows
something. but apparently unrelated to what is playing.
Strangely, Blocky does something, but only when no song plays.
A patch limits occurences by preventing the Analyzer applet from showing by
default:
* Backport upstream patch which avoids adding analyzer applet by default if
Phonon backend does not support it.
Patch backport_dont_add_analyzer_when_not_supported.diff
README.Debian also mentions the problem:
At the time of writing (phonon-backend-gstreamer at 4.6.3 and
phonon-backend-vlc at 0.6.2), Phonon GStreamer backend has more features than
Phonon VLC backend. Therefore, some Amarok features might not work when Phonon
VLC backend is in use and you will need to switch to GStreamer one. For
example:
* Spectrum Analyzer applet
* Equalizer
* Fade-out
are known not to work.
However, the applet can still be added when using the VLC backend, and quietly
displays as if it was functional.
Not setting normal severity, as this is not a regression and the feature is
optional.
