  1. Amarok 3.3.1 released!

    After the Amarok 3.3.0 music player was released, the Amarok development squad have released the first bugfix release, versioned as 3.3.1. This incorporated many bug fixes and general improvements, including the build system improvements and the Amarok 3.3 scripting system enhancements.

    In addition to that, some of the remaining UI tool buttons that are not themable now respect the system theme that you’ve configured, to make the UI look more uniform to the rest of the system. FFmpeg is now required to build Amarok, which means that in order to be able to build the music player successfully, you are required to install the former library.

    Here is the full set of changelogs:

    • Features
      • Enable saving and loading script console items, autocompletion in script console, and re-enable some more scripting functionality
    • Changes
      • Convert the remaining main UI toolbuttons to use icons from theme
      • Clear out remnants of the now-discontinued MusicDNS service
    • Bugfixes
      • Fix example permission grant command in database settings (BR 386004)
      • Fix equalizer gains not updating when selecting some presets (BR 463908)
      • Fix continuing playback after timecoded tracks (cue files etc, (BR 270003)
      • Fix MusicBrainz search
      • Properly start CD playback if Amarok is not already running (BR 503310)
      • Also transmit embedded cover art through MPRIS (BR 357620)
      • Don’t show transcoding dialog after canceling download (BR 275840)
      • Load network information earlier to avoid crashes on startup (BR 507497)
      • Try to export as-compatible-as-possible playlist files (BR 507329)
      • Fix some random crashes during playback

    For those who are using MusicBrainz, you can now use the search function to find songs in that service without any errors, hopefully.

    In order to install Amarok 3.3.1, you’ll have to either build from source, or use your distro’s package manager. In addition to that, you can also use the Flatpak version, which guarantees that you’re using the latest version.
