            Bug ID: 389327
           Summary: Amarok does not play last second(s) of tracks, affects
                    played stats and last.fm scrobbling
           Product: amarok
           Version: 2.8.90 (2.9 beta)
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Playback
          Assignee: amarok-bugs-dist@kde.org
          Reporter: linuxstuff@dski.net
                CC: matej@laitl.cz
  Target Milestone: 2.9

Sound system backend: Phonon-gstreamer

With a clean install of Linux / KDE5, Amarok does not play songs to the very
end of the track, it is especially noticeable when tracks are continuous -
there's no gapless playback. The problem causes two problems:

1. When playing tracks, the statistics of being played are not necessarily
logged into the database (I use MariaDB, although the version that uses
Amarok's own database has the same result). If you queue songs, or play songs
normally, the ONLY song guaranteed to be logged into the database as played /
date / time etc, is the very last track, which usually plays right to the very
end of the track.

I have played a few new tracks a few times, but they are not being logged as
having ever been played because the tracks do not play to the end, The tracks
are in the database correctly.


2. Because of the problem described in 1, this is affecting last.FM scrobbling.
What happens is, a track plays, the details are sent to Last.FM as "now
playing..." and you can see that on your Last.FM stats page. Then when you
refresh your stats page on Last.FM when the next track starts playing, the
track you were playing is deleted - it is registering as a user interrupted
track, so it is not logged as having been played. Again, the one track that
does get logged, is the very last track you play - it plays to the end.

I have tracks on a tablet to test Last.FM using VLC, there is no problem with
the Last.FM account, all tracks played on the tablet are logged, so it is
definitely an Amarok problem.

As a further test. I have queued just one track and let that play. It plays to
the end, and it does get logged into Last/M stats properly as having been
played. So the problem is with the tracks being cut short.
