The original problem was that xine (or any xine frontend including amarok) would not play the audio in the ogg file. There were no error dialogs or status bar messages in amarok, it would just skip to the next item in the playlist. Xine would give some relevant errors IIRC, but only if you upped the verbosity.
Eventually I got tired of manually patching xine and just used soundkonverter to reencode all of the offending ogg files. -- xine refuses to play old ogg files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/56153 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
