Package: kdemultimedia Version: 4:4.2.4-1 Severity: important When a kde audio player program opens an audio file with a whitespace in a filename, the file does not get played. Depending on the player program, error messages vary or the song simply gets skipped. Amarok for instance, says the file was not found.
Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Run a program using the kde phonon backend to play audio, for instance amarok, juk, dragonplayer, kalarm 2. Open an audio file with a whitespace in its filename, the format does not matter, for instance: test file.flac, test file.ogg, test_file.mp3 If one renames the test file.ogg to test_file.ogg or testfile.ogg, the song plays normally. Programs not using the Phonon audio backend, e.g. smplayer or mpg123, do not suffer from this problem. This means, all audio files with whitespace in their filenames do not play in kde, not even in apps like kalarm etc. his severely hampers the audio playback capabilities of kde4. I wasn't sure which package is causing this problem, that's why I reported the bug report against kdemultimedia, although it might better to assign the report to phonon or qt4 instead. My system is a freshly in installed HP 6830s laptop. I've installed a minimal stable, upgraded to sid and installed desktop-base and kde4 afterwards.
