amaroK/JuK Unable to connect to MusicBrainz
I've recently upgraded KDE to 3.4.3-2 from 3.4.2. My reason for this was an attempt to cure a MusicBrainz issue I've been having.
When attempting to do a meta-data lookup via amaroK or JuK, each program instantaneously fails. amaroK reports that "The track could not be found" while JuK claims to have encountered a MusicBrainz connection error.
I've traced my network interface activity, only to find no such request to the MusicBrainz server.
I've tried reinstalling libmusicbrainz as well as libtunepimp. Neither of these solutions has solved my problem. Is there some special trick to enabling MusicBrainz lookups through amaroK or JuK?
Thanks,
(KDE 3.4.3-2 on SuSE 10.0)
No, it should work out of the box. Make sure you have the right version of libmusicbrainz and libtunepimp installed.
I think I'm okay with regards to my dependencies.
:~> rpm -qa | grep libtunepimp
libtunepimp-devel-0.3.0-8
libtunepimp-0.3.0-8
:~> rpm -qa | grep libmusicbrainz
libmusicbrainz-2.1.1-6
What's curious is that this used to work, then stopped working... hence my attempt at a KDE update.
Any chance a first-time wizard configuration could restore me to better days?
Turns out SuSE is still on a never-ending quest to eliminate MP3 support in their distro.
Installing libtunepimp-mad cured my problems.
