HI all. I was looking for help with a goggles music manager error. I am using antix 8.5 however with debian testing. I am using these to get the package:
deb http://apt.progchild.de stable main
deb-src http://apt.progchild.de stable main
gmm --version
Goggles Music Manager 0.10.22
uname -a
Linux mypc 2.6.32-1-mepis #1 PREEMPT Mon May 10 11:11:52 EDT 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
The program starts and I have imported songs. Whenever I try to play any song or a url the program crashes and I get this message in console:
Assertion 'pthread_mutex_unlock(&m->mutex) == 0' failed at pulsecore/mutex-posix.c:108, function pa_mutex_unlock(). Aborting.
Any ideas?

The assert is from pulseaudio, so most likely it also crashes in pulseaudio. Have you tried to disable pulseaudio?

Just released 0.10.24 with some great new features. Since the 0.12 release is somewhat delayed, I decided to backport some of the new features:

- Support mp4 and ogg vorbis embedded album art.
- New opengl based cover viewer which allows for smooth scaling of the album cover.
If opengl is not available or slow, the old x11 cover viewer can be used instead, which now has an option to choose the displayed cover size.
- Import Playlists (xspf, m3u and pls) (issue 123)
- Export playlist title for xspf playlists.
- Changed Open MRL -> Play File or Stream and improved the dialog to make it easier choosing a local file from disk.
- Add conditional support to filename format. Window title may now also be customized.
- Show import options when dragging or copy/pasting files.
- Added Tooltip to trayicon showing the current playing track information.
- Open directory of track with right click (issue 146)
- Fix active track in playlist when reordering (issue 194).

Hopefully available soon in a Arch repository near you!

Dear GogglesGuy,

I'm trying out your application for the first time, and I really like it!! This may even replace Amarok for me. Incredible work.

I have small issues though. with your latest code from svn (checked out today) I recieve a number of compile warnings.

http://pastebin.com/q0PQQC0L

Just thought I would help improve the experience!

Thanks. Those are mostly harmless and I haven't fixed them yet since it's the development version. For the most stable experience, I would recommend the stable release

Hello Mr. Goggles Guy!

I would like to know where gogglesmm keeps its configuration settings, because I am having problems lately. It just starts and crashes, printing at the console

X fatal error.
Aborted.

AFAIK, the last changes I did was to change the font to MS Mincho. This problem surfaced when I rebooted the machine.

Thanks a lot for a cool player!

P.S. Feature request: autofetch song lyrics.

EDIT: Using version 0.10.24.

Sorry for the late reply.

Goggles MM still crashes with the message above. I tried changing the font in the settings, to no avail. Please help.

Did you have the same problem with the previous version? Try starting with:

gogglesmm --disable-opengl

And what if you completely remove ~/.foxrc/musicmanager ?

Yes, I tried the option above. But the app still crashes.

I really don't know what happened. Actually, the error appeared in version 0.10.19.

I tried removing the config file in .foxrc. (have not noticed the message earlier). The app works again as expected.

Thank you very much for the help. And yeah, can I request the auto-lyrics fetching above?

it'd be good if it was able to use the system gtk theme ...
not a big issue (just made a custom theme)

lamek · 2010-08-22 12:39:23

I really love your player GogglesGuy, its remind me a little bit foobar2000
But it need some more work.
It will be the player from my dreams if it:
a)If u add Queue function ( like in audacious) or playback follow cursor ( like in foobar2000)
b)better shuffle. i mean not sorting the list but jumping from 1 track to anothe.
c)suppot for *.cue + *.mp3 (like in foobar2000)
d)support hotkeys.

Any wy u r making good job.

anybody else having difficulty with the Last.FM scrobbling after updating to 0.11.1?
it doesn't scrobble, and everytime after entering my details to scrobble, when changing anything in the last.fm preference area, it locks up the app.

I've tried multiple times clearing all gsmm related folders to completely reset the app but I still can't get it to scrobble after setting it all up again.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hmmm, I don't think I've changed anything there recently. It's been scrobbling fine for me. Let me see if I can reproduce it by starting from scratch. I assume you upgraded from 0.10.27 (following the arch repositories)?

bond · 2010-09-01 01:39:52

yep, although I have a feeling it may not have been working in 0.10.27 as well now looking at my scrobbling history

EDIT: hmmm, looks like it has been scrobbling, and it only freezes when I bring up preferences and whilst a track is playing, uncheck last.fm scrobbling
it just doesn't update last.fm with currently listening too (I can't remember if it used to or not)

If it locks up the whole app, I think they're may be some threading (deadlock) issues here. Already fixed one potential issue. You mind if I send you a tarball later this week (by email) to test out?

I think the latest 0.11.2 should have fixed this issues. Please try!

You mean better than the existing shuffle (alt-R / Menu->Control->Shuffle Mode )?

Not sure about this one. Kind of hard to implement. Are cue files standardized at all?

You mean like the multimedia keys on your keyboard?

Bysshe · 2010-09-21 23:58:09

This is what I was looking for. A GUI music player that simply works. Thank you very much.

bond · 2010-09-22 01:06:52

thanks for cleaning up the last.fm integration

Doesnt metter i install newer vesion and now it work perfect.

They are. here is example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cue_sheet_%28computing%29
In foobar it work perfect. U just simple drag and drop cue to playlist and the player split the album into songs on playlist.
The Progrres bar shows always the time of current song.
In Amarok 1.4 when u import cue file progress bar always shows the time of album ( not nice )

PS: If u planing to add this in future u can check the amarok 1.4 source code maybe it will help u a little.
It will be nice to add this as module cause many users just dont use cue+mp3

the best way is to alow user configurate by his onw in some kind "hotkeys preferences"
Like:
Stop : XF86AudioStop
next: ctrl+alt+super+right

I just released Goggles Music Manager 0.11.4.

Based on feedback from users, I've reworked the way the miniplayer behaved in respect to the browser window.
A lot of users were confused on how to get back to the browser window so now the mini player now has an extra button to get back to the browser window. The close button now also behaves the exact same way as the one in the browser window, so no more surprises there.

Keyboard shortcuts are also now synced up. To sum up:

Ctrl-Q => Quits Application
Close Button / Ctrl-W => Either quits application or minimizes to tray depending on setting in preferences.
Ctrl-M / F11 => Toggles between browser and miniplayer mode (the ctrl-m was added since some window managers like to use F11 as well)
Tray Icon Left Click => Show or hides either miniplayer of browser window.

I think this should clear up most of the confusion.

Full Changelog

Link explicitly to X11, GL and GLU (issue 212).
Improved icon theme specification support. Now also load from ~/.icons, $XDG_DATA_DIRS/icons and /usr/share/pixmaps.
Properly initialize libgcrypt to avoid warnings.
Added button to get out of miniplayer mode and make the miniplayer behave the same as the regular browser window. (issue 196).
New additional shortcut to toggle between miniplayer mode and browser mode (Ctrl-M).
Miniplayer is resizeable and remember its size and position. It will no longer automatically resize itself.
Fix crash when importing with specific icon themes selected. (issue 218)
Add big-endian support to flac album art loading. (issue 218)

After this upgrade:
[2010-11-12 17:21] upgraded gogglesmm (0.11.4-1 -> 0.11.5-1)

I lost all my playlists! It is quite (very?) annoying! The playlist should be in ~/.goggles?
