Bug ID: 367475
Summary: Give a meaningful error message when the user attempts
to play unsupported formats
Product: amarok
Version: unspecified
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: Playback
Assignee: amarok-bugs-d...@kde.org
Reporter: ddascalescu+...@gmail.com
CC: ma...@laitl.cz
I've just launched Kubuntu 16.04 from the live USB disk, and found that none of
my media (MP4s, MP3s) would play, using either Amarok or Dragon Player.
I understand this is because of the lack of non-free codecs, but new users may
now be aware of this - see for example #360921.
Please display an error instead of simply failing to play without any sort of
feedback to the user. Given the wide choice of distros that do play media out
of the box, a new user who's evaluating KDE is likely to just give up on it.
Reproducible: Always
