msdelos · 2010-03-11 12:47:03

Hello..

Drop file browser pane in favor of gtk file chooser.. and now can a option to add folders non recusively.

Now the second panel is the playlists.

Please.. Call for testers and translators..

Edit.: Now with middle click on the library/playlists view, append songs to current playlist. (Inspired in http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=197423). Feature that i love!!!

Test!!

Hi!
That bug about high CPU usage is still there. Pragha after some time of playing (and using cca 0.8% cpu) starts to use 12-13 % cpu.
If user pauses pragha, and continue to play after it cpu usage drops to normal.

msdelos · 2010-03-12 14:42:38

I'll be out a few days..

So.. Pragha 0.7.3 Released!.

Drop File Pane in favor of gtk-file-chooser.
Support for adding folders recursively in file chooser. (Based on Audacius code. /src/ui_fileopen.c)
Support for recent files in file chooser.
Now remember last folder used.
Others Changes:
Middle click on the library/playlists view append songs to current playlist.
Queue and dequeue pressing 'Q'.
If pragha minimized or without focus, when clicked statusicon restore mainwindow focus.
Now the second panel is the Playlists.
Drop album.png in favor of the icon theme instaled.
Updates Translations:
Spanish translation thanks to msdelos.
Polish translation thanks to Sid.
Update po files.
Bugs fixed:
Use g_get_user_config_dir() instead of g_get_home_dir() and then concatenating "/.config". Thanks to Sebcactus.
OK/Cancel buttons in Edit Tags and Save Playlist dialog are inverted.
When move around the library with the keyboard, this does not advance.

Ammon: Sorry, but I do not understand in what circumstances you got the problem of cpu.

Always, or in certain circumstances? You use Alsa? oss??? soft mixer? or a particular song?

ammon · 2010-03-12 16:12:20

Im using alsa, no soft mixer, in this test playing a flac file. And yes, it is happening allways. With mp3, wma...

Pragha started: cpu - 2 %, mem 1.2 %
after "next track" - cpu 6%, mem 1.2% (cpu usage did not "peak" for a while after next song is loaded, it jumps and remains on that level.)
after "next track" one more time - cpu 36%, mem 1.2%
once again - cpu 20%, mem 1.2%

After I pause playback, and press play after 1-2 sec...

cpu 2%, mem 1.2%

Same is described in posts #363, #364 of this topic, page 15.

I finally updated the translation: http://www.file-upload.net/download-2365728/de.po.html Delete link: http://www.file-upload.net/delete-2365728/4xofxp.html

Some things to say:

The original English strings are sometimes a bit strange. For example, "Remove to playback queue" should be "Remove from playback queue" I think. "Repeat playback list at the end" also sounds a bit strange, I'd call it "Repeat playback at the end of the list" or something like that.

Also I've observed a little bug: When clicking on "Remove from playback queue" Pragha sometimes crashes (not always) with following output:

GLib-ERROR **: gmem.c:136: failed to allocate 5788491012 bytes
aborting...

One more thing: The whole text in the notify-osd popup is bold. Why not make it like in the tooltip: the categories are bold, the entries of the track are not.

Last thing: Pragha seems not to have a window icon.

Observations concerning memory usage: very low memory usage, between 6,6Mb and 7,9Mb. Really really cool!

Hello...
Improved time library indexing.

Please.. Test it!!!

PhotonX: Sorry, send me the translation to mati86dl at gmail.com.

msdelos · 2010-04-09 13:15:28

Hello all..

As I said before in 0.7.4.svn, improved the time library indexing. A tiny patch which greatly improves performance.

Also in preference dialog, add option to start pragha minimized, fullscreen, or remember the last window state and add a new option to minimize pragha when close window. Options that many people requested.

Also: Add button in panel to leave fullscreen. Before alone with F11, not always intuitive.

Fix: Now work queue list when sequential playlist.
Fix: Hide album art when restore mainwindow if set to no show.

Also trying to add actions to the notifications. I really do not understand that does not work. Please helpme!!!!

As always, please, test and Translates.

msdelos · 2010-04-23 02:04:35

PhotonX · 2010-05-19 10:00:40

Didn't you get my mail with the translation update?

msdelos · 2010-05-19 13:31:03

Yes.. Thanks!-)
Sorry not to answer..

PhotonX · 2010-05-19 13:48:55

No problem, I just asked because there are still some untranslated strings in the German version of 0.7.5.

msdelos · 2010-05-19 14:48:04

D'Oh!.
Sorry ... Remembered having received the mail, but you're right, never add to subversion..

There you add in 0.7.5.1 with a new album unknown icon. Provisory.(Does not look good with dark themes)

smakked · 2010-05-21 04:01:39

Hi
I tried Pragha last night but it maximizes to full screen with no window decorations and i have to kill it to shut it down.
I am using Compiz Standalone

Ekimino · 2010-05-21 04:47:26

You're app looks great, Taking too much time to add my whole library (3k songs).

The App looks great and simple, If i sometime get the knowledge of programming, this are one of the things I would like to make myself, so "I feel ya".
POST UPDATE: 21/5/2010 - App is in version 0.5.1

Constructive Criticism, get another way to read library, Quod Libet only takes a few secs, I'ts written in Python BTW. (I'm still gonna try it though )

msdelos · 2010-06-04 21:57:07

Soo sorry...

Against all expectations, I'm rewriting pragha to use gstreamer.

This because I get tired of certain problems to work directly with libmad. Like this: http://code.google.com/p/dissonance/issues/detail?id=8

This also brings support for pulseaudio, and many audio formats, and believe me greatly simplifies the code.

Unfortunately, they lost all audio backend settings, and lost the support of lastfm.

Here I give you the first compilation of pragha 0.8.0 to test. This is an alpha. thousands of errors (really is the first compilation, and closes every so, but you can test!-). I really take a long time to repair..

http://dissonance.googlecode.com/files/ … vn.tar.bz2

Try ... The biggest complaint was the use gstreamer cpu consumption.. this and memory consumption does not vary...

I am writing with little time.
On Monday I write again, and better explain my plans..

p.d: I keep the two versions. but do not expect many changes in the current version. sorry..

Regards.
Matias.

msdelos · 2010-06-11 21:32:33

Hello all..

Pragha 0.7.7 Released.

A small review, but adds a much requested feature: Globay Hotkey. (Only with the mutlimedia keys!-)

News:
Global keybindings thanks to keybinder. Inspired on osdlyrics
Updates Translations:
Add Brazilian Portuguese translation. Thanks to Sergio Cipolla.
Bugs fixed:
Fix display files with non-utf8 locale. Thanks to Roberto DMD.
Fix open urls without gvfs. Thanks to Roberto DMD.
Add files recursively with dbus and command line according to preferences.
Shows album art when playing audio cd
D'Oh!. No remember Close to tray option.

Enjoy.
Matias.

PhotonX · 2010-06-25 14:24:44

Great news! But how to activate the keybindings? Those that are set in the Gnome preferences don't work...

msdelos · 2010-06-25 15:02:17

PhotonX.
No need to configure anything. and does not depend on gnome or xfce or kde. just works. But note that you need a multimedia keyboard. For now detects XF86AudioPlay, XF86AudioStop keys, etc. automatically.

I could only test with this keyboard. A genius kb-21e. but these keys are standard (Would believe!-), if it is a multimedia keyboard.

In future release, add some configuration..

I had to make a last minute review.

V0.7.7.1
Fix Issue 14: Pragha can not remember the starting position.
Remember correctly window position when click status icon or close window.
Never add files recursively with dbus and command line. Freeze Pragha.

Enjoy.
MAtias.

P.s.: Do you remember this? http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 33#p618033 or http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 32#p627532

If you've configured something like that, disable it and remove any entry of the media keys.

PhotonX · 2010-06-25 16:34:12

Following output on Pragha start:

ao_alsa WARNING: Input channel matrix invalid; ignoring.

(pragha:4997): pragha-WARNING **: Binding 'XF86AudioPlay' failed!

(pragha:4997): pragha-WARNING **: Binding 'XF86AudioStop' failed!

msdelos · 2010-06-25 17:13:45

okey..

According to this, another application that has registered these keys..

So .. When an application registers a global key, can not use any other. It can be a player, metacity, compiz, or xfwm4.

If you are not using another player, use gconf2-editor to find that apliation is using it, but surely is metacity..

PhotonX · 2010-06-25 18:09:06

Well, they are set in the Gnome preferences... Would it be possible for Pragha to unregister those bindings temporarily while it is running?
