Added 2009-12-30 :
In svn revision 462 have been implemented a cache for the last.fm queries and the online images. This cache is an archive located into ~/.guayadeque dir named cache.db

If you had running a recent svn revision you need to delete this file if exists as the structure changed a litle.

If you can test it take special attention to how last.fm panel updates.

Added 2010-01-02 :
In svn revision 467 have been implemented a 10 band equalizer + limiter. The equalizers presets should be into the ~/.guayadeque dir named equalizers.conf

This file should be placed there if you do an installation the first time the app is run.

Added 2010-01-06 :
I have fixed in svn a bug that prevented the images to be extracted from cache. Now the update of last.fm panel is damn fast is the images are from cache. It is recomended that the cache file is deleted because this bug made the images to be saved more than one time. Remove the file ~/.guayadeque/cache.db

Also added that if you stop the mouse for a second over a tiny image in the last.fm panel a bigger image will show up.

Added 2010-01-11 :
The recent changes includes
* In lyrics panel ability to select the server from this page so you can search more easily the lyrics for the track
* Silence detector to automatically skip tracks when the sound level is below the configured one. You can limit it to work only at the end of the track.
* Preference dialog can be resized. This way it should be more easy to configure commands or links
* Click in Player time to show time elapsed or left
* And some minor bug fixes

Added 2010-01-14 :
There is now an Allow and Deny Filters for the Smart Mode and Random Mode. You can control the tracks allowed to be added when select random or tracks based on Last.fm statistics.

Added 2010-01-15 :
Released version 0.2.3

Added 2010-01-22 :
This are the latest changes to svn version

* If you click over a selected item now dont clear the selection if its a drag action
* You can set the ratings of tracks in playlist directly clicking in the star
* Control Menu show the status of the Smart or Loop mode
* Added last.fm as cover source in the cover download dialog
* Added a lyric editor in the track editor
* Added option to automatically save lyrics to mp3, flac, ogg, m4a files.
Also you can manually save it from the lyrics panel
* Added an option in Preferences -> Playback to remove played tracks
* Added print and copy to clipboard of lyrics
* Enabled option to edit tracks from the player playlist
* When some preferences are modified the settings are propagated where its needed
* Fixed bug in smart play mode

Added 2010-01-25 :
* You can set rating from tracks listbox in library and playlists panel
* You can export / import Playlists to / from xspf, m3u, pls and axs files

Added 2001-02-03 :
* Added current artist events to the last.fm panel
* Added ultimate-guitar.com as lyric source
* Added italian translation
* You can now drop files in last.fm or lyrics panel to show a file information
* You can paste in lyrics the content of the clipboard
* If filters are set in the player the filters label will be highlighted
* In the status bar you can now see track count, tracks length and filesize of the selection
* In the track editor the genre edit field shows the actual list of genres
* Added an option to repeat only the current selected track
* You can rearrange the main window and save your window layouts

Added 2010-02-07 :
Still working in the new gui. Now not needed predefined layouts as all elements can be dragged except the player that is the only part that cant hide. You can hide now also the Player PlayList and the Player Filters.

If you were using previous revisions I recomend to start with a new config. Delete the file ~/.guayadeque/guayadeque.conf or edit it and remove any layout saved. You can recognize the layouts as they are very large text strings.

Added 2010-02-09 :
Have been added vumeters. For thouse of you who as I love them.
Also in revision 642 have been fixed a bug that prevented randomly that the last.fm and lyrics panels was not updated with the information of the current playing track.

Added 2001-02-11 :
In latest svn revision a change in the database have been made to the covers. If you update you will notice the cover thumbs will not appear in the albums listbox.
You will need to update the library to get it back. To dont loose your other entries you can edit the ~/.guayadeque/guayadeque.conf file and remove the entry 'LastUpdate'
Then do a Library update. This should reload all the covers thumbs.
This change was made because Im working in an 'Album Browser'. Please let me know any suggestion or ideas about this.

Added 2010-02-14 :
* Added an album browser. Its another way to access the music by viewing the covers of the albums, its name, artist, year and tracks.

* Also an option in Preferences -> General to load default layout. This option if enabled will bypass the saved layouts in case your layout is corrupted. Its a only one use preference. It will get reset once the app load to default value.

* Another features added are the Rescan library and add directory. Rescan library will force a complete update of the library while Add directory will allow to add a directory to the library paths.

Added 2010-02-15 :
* The select cover allow to enter a remote url for the cover file.

* There have been some ppl with display issues in Album browser because they have already added images in the database in the wrong format. This version should fix this issue but a Rescan of the library will be launched the first time the app start with this version.

Added 2010-02-19 :
* Have been added to the library composer, comments and disk. Still pending to add search for this fields in the smart playlists.
* Also have been fixed a few tiny bugs like the page count not updated when updated the library, or search words in podcasts was case sensitive, etc

Added in 2010-02-20 :
In revision 677 have been fixed a few bugs reported recently and also have been implemented drag and drop support in the Album Browser.
You can drag an album to a playlist or to the Playing now playlist and also using Control you can drag the cover to Nautilus or to another album. You can also drag an image file into the album you want to set the cover.

Nice player, I've just imported my music library and I like it so far. Just a request: I'd like the Genders, Tags, Artists and Albums panes to be optional, so that I could just browse my artists, then choose an album and play.

Also, it's always nice to control a player from the command line. For example, with the app playing music, you could run guayadeque --stop and get the music stopped. This way some commands can be binded to key shortcuts. Right now I can't even execute guayadeque --help to see the options available.

Anyway, thank you for your work.

P.S: Un saludo desde Burgos

well it's not that easy to install it, since you have to edit the source code to compile it

Note: If you have compilation errors like this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/444555 , simply comment comment line 126 in /usr/include/mpeg4ip.h file.

At least it doesn't compile for me, and I thought that this was the solution...

Same here... changing the mpeg4ip.h file has no effect

anonbeat · 2009-12-16 07:11:57

Could you paste whats the problem compiling it ?
comment the line 126 is not the global solution for all the problems... its just a fix for this package as it comes with a redeclaration of a function.

tomk · 2009-12-16 08:15:20

Worth noting: mpeg4ip development ceased nearly two and a half years ago.

To coment a line in C or C++ you need to put // at the begin of the line and not a # character. # is for other languages and to the shell interpreter. Try putting // and try again.

Thanks for your help

Rasi · 2009-12-16 11:14:27

alright... PEBKAC

anyway... the program does not find any songs for me... i have all gstreamer packages installed.

also tried --gst-debug-level 5, but no errors at all

Same here. Neither the stable, nor the -svn version find any songs, although the terminal output says:

12:41:57: Database updating started.

Adding a path with the media files in the directory itself and not in any subdiretory didn't help, either.

anonbeat · 2009-12-16 12:03:33

Can you run it from the console and paste all the output ?

Thanks for your help

Rasi · 2009-12-16 12:13:04

ok.. Mineo actually found this out: the player only works if started with "LC_ALL=SOME_LOCALE guayadeque"

still, it doesnt work for me. if started this way, i am getting this:

01:11:09 PM: /mnt/media/_music/Rips/Alice in Chains/1992 Dirt
01:11:10 PM: Updating the podcasts...
01:11:13 PM: Error: Could not read tags from file /home/carnager/guayadeque//mnt/media/_music/Rips/Alice in Chains/1992 Dirt/01-Them Bones.ogg
01:11:13 PM: Error: Could not read tags from file /home/carnager/guayadeque//mnt/media/_music/Rips/Alice in Chains/1992 Dirt/02-Dam That River.ogg

For every song

I found a issue with the library update process. If you set your libary path to /mnt/media/_music should work while I update svn with the fix of the bug

Thank you for your testing and help

anonbeat · 2009-12-16 12:46:39

The svn revision 421 should fix this issue.

Thanks

Surgat_ · 2009-12-16 12:50:51

It compiled fine for me after editing mpeg4ip.h, but I don't think it's a good idea to rely on a discontinued package, and even having to edit its headers. Also, my library was scanned without an error and I'm listening to it right now. Actually, I like this player

anonbeat · 2009-12-16 13:27:48

I dont think its a good idea either. Need to replace it soon or later

anonbeat · 2009-12-18 08:53:30

This are the latest changes made to svn version

  * Fixed the support to images in ogg files
  * Added a navigator in last.fm so you can go to the previous or next track
    info.
  * Fixed a bug in TrackEditor not saving alls changes made.
  * Changed Save to playlist allowing to append to existing playlist. You
    can select the playlist and where to append ( begin, end )

If you can please update to latest svn and test this.

Also I would like to mention that if you want to help translating to your language, have a feature request, suggestions or just want to comment something you can email me at anonbeat at gmail dot com or write here.

Thank you all for the help

Hello,

  * Allow to load multiple files from file manager
  * Fixed a bug while dragging files over the playlist

Thank you for your testing support.

Thanks for the bug report. It was a test i was doing but finally decided to not include it but left this line by error.

It have been fixed in svn 443.

Thanks again

onearm · 2009-12-26 09:22:58

You're welcome. Indeed now it compiles fine, testing revision 448

tomk · 2009-12-26 12:59:06

Rev 448 builds fine here, on x86_64. I've pointed it at my music dir (a 26G nfs share, if that matters) and it looks like nothing is happening. I've run it from CLI, where it says:

12:37:11: Library Paths: 
12:37:11: /store/music

For comparison, I tried it with a small local dir, and got this:

12:36:29:I Library Paths: 
12:36:29: /home/tomk/Black Eyed Peas
12:36:30: Database updating started.

Track info appeared in the gui shortly after.

Should I just wait a bit longer while it imports from the NFS dir? It's been sitting there for over 20 mins now - some indication that it's alive and kicking would be nice.
