Well, that's actually a different "problem" altogether. What you did was install the support for restricted codecs, which as far as I know, have never been shipped by default in any Ubuntu release.
********************************* MPEG-related plugins for libxine1
This package contains plugins for the xine video/media player engine, which are necessary to decode MPEG-based codecs. Among them, this package includes the ffmpeg input plugin for xine, which enables xine-based players a large variety of modern audio and video codecs.
You most probably want to install this package. It is required if you want to watch DVDs or digital TV using any xine-based player. *********************************
Thanks I got my broken amarok working again, but since I had phonon-backend-xine. already installed, what I did is as follow: installed phonon-backend-gstreamer and then uninstal it while installing xine back and it worked!!! So thanks again ^^
Wei-Yee Chan, My issue was the 'libxine1-ffmpeg' one. It has been a challenging google research that was successfuly landing in your page ;-) Thanks a lot
You may not have to uninstalle Install phonon-backend-gstreamer. In KDE4 you can go to a command prompt and enter "kdesudo systemsettings" - and click on the "backend" tab. Once there, you need to make sure that "xine" is the preferred option.
Solved the problem for me (and under gnome at that:) )
Unfortunately, most of us here are Ubuntu (Gnome) users and do not have kdesudo installed by default. But thanks for the tip - It should be useful for Kubuntu users.

Remove gstreamer, you mean? gstreamer was buggy, so I thought I might as well remove it. It's simpler and more straightforward to do so, especially in the case of newbies who may not be familiar with configuring Amarok.

Wei-Yee Chan,
My issue was the 'libxine1-ffmpeg' one.
It has been a challenging google research that was successfuly landing in your page ;-)
Thanks a lot
maybe just
#apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg
will suffice, for me it did anyway

Thanks a lot! I'm also new to the Linux world and only have good words. This is great!!!
Many Thanks for brining my Amarok back to life!!!
