Public bug reported: If Amarok encounters any output engine and sound subsystem issues, and others, it will rapidly skip through each song in the playlist, spamming the OSD and making the UI slow to react for some time.
This behaviour is extremely annoying, and in the case of an engine being unable (for whatever reason) to be able to play anything at all, the playlist should stop, so the matter can be corrected instead of spinning through and slowing down the whole machines UI. To be clear - things happen, and underlying engines will occasionally fail or be misconfigured. My issue is that Amarok should perhaps handle this with somewhat more grace. ** Affects: amarok (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Annoying habit of skipping through songlist rapidly https://launchpad.net/bugs/64000 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
