Re: Listening to radio streams on amarok (Debian)

Hello,

Whenever I try to play a radio stream on amarok on my Debian Testing
system, I get a "No suitable input plugin" error. Upon Googling, I found
that the reason is that a package named libxine-extracodecs that is
available for Ubuntu is not available in the official repos in Debian.
Now, that package has other dependencies that are also not available in
official repos and further I am not keen on mixing distros.

I was wondering if someone knows of a set of Debian packages / some other
repo (preferably for Testing) that has the requisite packages. Amarok can
play my own mp3's fine, its playing windows playlists and realaudio
streams that it cannot seem to manage.

Thanks.
Grab Helix (and the amarok backend). I'm not sure about debian support, but
you should be able to get it working.
