Please ignore my last post here - Guayadeque version 671-1 works correctly now!  I reinstalled ALL of my Gstreamer pkgs and added one new one - gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg-0.10.9-1 - and now it all works.

The equalizer is nice.  The only thing that is still not working here is leaving the window up when I change desktops in the taskbar.

All in all - you have done a great job.  Keep it up.  big_smile

First - I heard you - but I have the problem on 3 different machines!

Second - 2 users you know is hardly a scientific sample.

Third - regardless of sample size - I STILL DO have the problem.  Blowing it off because 2 users you know DON'T have the problem is not very helpful.  smile

Fourth - given the amount of testing I have done for Guayadeque (and still will do), I ought to get a bit more consideration for my problem than, "I have two ppl that uses openbox as you that dont have this open window issue."  Is that 'really' how you want to leave the problem?

Frankly, even if you had 100 users without the problem - I still have it - on multiple machines.  It's not hardware.

Re: Guayadeque Music Player testing request

Looks to me like the same problem I had and I fixed it by following the package installations found Common Codecs. Ie, you don't have all the necessary gstreamer plugins installed.

I installed a virtual machine with archlinux and openbox + tint2 and tried the bug you reported. And I saw the same behaivour you described. It gets minimized when changing desktop. Also tried amule and the same thing happens for amule so Im suspecting its a wxWidgets bug. I will try to do a workaround for this issue.

Re: Guayadeque Music Player testing request

I have fixed in svn a bug that prevented the images to be extracted from cache. Now the update of last.fm panel if 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.

Thanks for testing

I just built and installed guayadeque-svn 477-1.  Looks good - everything seems to work as one would want.  Good work.

I noted the change in minimize to systray-icon.  I actually think you should leave it as is now.  It works really well - if I minimize Guayadeque with the app itself - it does not minimize to systray-icon.  AND - the Guayadeque window remains open when I change desktops via the taskbar.  BUT - if I minimize it by clicking on the systray-icon - it DOES minimize to the systray-icon!  That's everything one could ask for.  Great job - leave the minimize thing as is!  big_smile

Re: Guayadeque Music Player testing request

FYI - I built and installed guayadeque-svn 481-1.  Everything seems solid and stable.  So far - no bugs noticable here.  I remain very satisfied with Guayadeque.  Good work - don't stop.

Re: Guayadeque Music Player testing request

Thanks for your testing reports.

In revision 480 I changed the way the silence detector works. Now should be more precise. You can activate it at Preferences -> Playback

In the revision 481 I changed the way the images are captured to the cache as I noted the quality was not as it was before. But to notice the change you must delete the file with the previous stored ones at ~/.guayadeque/cache.db

Thank you all for your help

Re: Guayadeque Music Player testing request

use the mpris interface

for example
dbus-send --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=org.mpris.guayadeque /Player org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.GetMetadata

you can check more about mpris at http://wiki.xmms2.xmms.se/wiki/MPRIS

Re: Guayadeque Music Player testing request

I plan to release the 0.2.3 version soon. If you find any bug let me know to try to fix it before this new release.

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

Thanks for your help

Re: Guayadeque Music Player testing request

Is there a way to control Guayadeque through the command line? When I issue guayadeque --help while playing music I get:

$  guayadeque --help
process 6743: Applications must not close shared connections - see dbus_connection_close() docs. This is a bug in the application.
  D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace
Abortado

Otherwise, no bugs yet. However, changing time elapsed to left requires a double click (in svn 490).

Yes double click have been changed to single click in latest svn versions.

The way to control guayadeque from command line is thought mpris interface.
For example:

Get Current Track Info
dbus-send --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=org.mpris.guayadeque /Player org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.GetMetadata

Go Next Track
dbus-send --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=org.mpris.guayadeque /Player org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.Next

Go Prev Track
dbus-send --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=org.mpris.guayadeque /Player org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.Prev

To Play / Pause
dbus-send --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=org.mpris.guayadeque /Player org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.Play

To Stop
dbus-send --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=org.mpris.guayadeque /Player org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.Stop

etc etc etc

Re: Guayadeque Music Player testing request

It have been added to svn revision 507 a Filter feature that will control the way Smart Play Mode and Random Play Mode works. There are two filter one for Allow and one for Deny. You can set for each filter a Dynamic or Static Playlist so if for example you want to let Guayadeque to play tracks for you but you want to fix the Genre to 'Rock' Music you must set a Dynamic Playlist which filters by Genre. And you set this PlayList to the Allow filter. This will prevent Guayadeque from changing Genre when selecting tracks to play based on Last.fm statistics.

Let me know if something dont go as expected.

This is the last feature I will add for the new version. I will wait now for bug reports before I release it.

Thank you very much for your your testing

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 smile

Surgat_: Guayadeque supports multimedia keys. So if you want to assign key shortcuts you can assign the key you want to the Multimedia action. Im not sure if this a feature of genome or if its from freedesktop.

btw thanks for testing
