Hi - So I grabbed Amarok off Synaptic since it's the only full featured media player I could find with OPML import, audio and video podcasting, etc. (Sorry, audio-only Rhythmbox - any other suggestions? I want to sync podcasts to my iPod classic as well, and cut the ties to Win 7)
Anyways on Amarok I was able to successfully import my 20+ podcast feeds in a couple of clicks with the OPML import, and I then downloaded a test audio podcast.
On trying to play this podcast, however, the progress bar just shot across the screen, no audio was produced, and the podcast ended right away.
I tried playing a radio stream as well from the Internet/Radio feature and no audio there either. It definitely was not muted.
Is this an Ubuntu problem? Something with this 'GStreamer' thingy? - I don't know what that is, but I need to pretend I know something about this here fancy Ubuntu jargon. :) Amarok played a test .ogg I recorded using Sound Recorder but that's all I've gotten to work so far.
Thanks. And if this is worth reporting as a bug, could someone please let me know what additional logs or info I should submit to launchpad. (Since there's no crash, there's no automatic submit popup.)
