Bug Description

Binary package hint: amarok

1) System information: Kubuntu 9.04 Alpha 5 with all updates till today (2009-03-16)

2) Package Information - amarok:
  Installed: 2:2.0.2mysql5.1.30-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 2:2.0.2mysql5.1.30-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 2:2.0.2mysql5.1.30-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) browse and play files in amarok on network shares using the filebrowser build into amarok (kio browser)

4) The file browser in amarok on KDE allows browsing a network folder but can't play any files.
Test I carried out:
smb folder mapped in Dolphin - > browse: ok; play: fail
sftp folder mapped in Dophin -> browse: ok; play fail
   both checked with filenames which contain no whitespaces with the same result
drag&drop from konqueror into the playlist of amarok -> doesn't work

sshfs folder mapped under /mnt -> browse ok; play: ok

Also happens on Kubuntu Karmic. I can play smb:// files fine using kaffeine, but amarok can only browse them - when trying to add a file to playlist - amarok just does nothing.

Uptream claims they fixed the bug. Any chance to have it Kubuntu near soon?

From what I can tell upstream has fixed parts of it. I'm now on Arch with KDE 4.3.2 and amarok 2.2.0 and playing files fine if the folder is mapped via sshfs. smb I still have no luck though.

I'm mostly complaining about smb.

upstream diff

Could easily be incorporated into a stable release update, would probably make some of you happier, I suppose :)

If Try to connect an SFTP Amarok warn me that there could be a Man in the Middle attack (Private key). The normal connectiong with Dolphin works without problem.
