Description Martin Kho 2016-03-19 12:55:53 UTC
Description of problem:
No music, which is rather annoying for a media player ;-) The complete error message is:

amarok(6219)/phonon (KDE plugin): Can not create backend object from factory for  "GStreamer" ,  "phonon_gstreamer" :
 "Could not find plugin 'GStreamer' for application 'amarok'" 
WARNING: bool Phonon::FactoryPrivate::createBackend() phonon backend plugin could not be loaded

Settings -> Configure Amarok -> Playback -> Configure Phonon -> Device Preference is empty. The Front Left and Front Right buttons (Audio Hardware Setup tab) are working correct.

No problems with sound in other applications.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Same problem here. Running into debugging mode gives this warning.

WARNING: bool Phonon::FactoryPrivate::createBackend() phonon backend plugin could not be loaded

or possibly,
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-d3a880fb8c

we're sorting out a qt4 plugin issue for some stuff built erroneously by gcc6

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1327360 ***

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2016-04-20 10:09:44 UTC
amarok, phonon, phonon-backend-gstreamer all have the proper qt buildkey now:
buildkey=x86_64 linux g++-4 full-config

So, it's problem is apparently something other than the issue tracked in bug #1327360  , re-opening

Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2016-04-20 15:32:45 UTC
See latest bug #1327360 , comment, but it would appear the latest batch of builds in fact did not fix the problem (but introduced yet another different/incompatible QT_BUILD_KEY).  

Short version: this issue is (still) probably a dup of bug #1327360 , but I'll double/triple check it this time before marking it as such

Comment 6 Rex Dieter 2016-04-20 23:16:52 UTC
confirmed fixed qt/phonon takes care of this, remarked as dup, updates coming soon
