1.it seems like lyvi stopped looking first at the local images stored and goes and grabs the images from the internet first

Fixed.

zeltak wrote:

2. the lyrics are saved by file name.lyric and not tag name.lyric can there be an option to change that?

It's now possible to change that with save_lyrics_format option.

zeltak wrote:

1.auto advance lyrics- can we have the lyrics auto scroll? ideally this would be done using some basic calculation based on song length etc. but just a stupid scroll option by a constant rate would work great

Coming soon I will probably make it with constant rate that can be increased/decreased and toggled on/off.

zeltak wrote:

2. consider an option in config to show album cover instead of artist image? maybe also an option to toggle between them or auto switch every X seconds.

You can now toggle background image with 's' key, also there's a new bg_type option.

zeltak wrote:

3.related to above maybe ability to launch lyvi with a alternate config so we could have 2 lyvi windows tiled one with a album view (with lyrics) and one with artist view (with artist image and artist info)

There's a new command-line option for that (see lyvi -h)

Feel free to test new features and please let me know if something is not working.
I'm waiting for other ideas

heheh HOLY CRAP that was fast

as always amazing amazing work. i do have a new bug it seems that prevents lyvi from firing up:

% lyvi !254
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/lyvi", line 1028, in <module>
curses.wrapper(main)
File "/usr/lib/python3.2/curses/wrapper.py", line 43, in wrapper
return func(stdscr, *args, **kwds)
File "/usr/bin/lyvi", line 988, in main
u.album = p.album
AttributeError: 'Mpd' object has no attribute 'album'

any idea?

Also for the album cover would the user be able to specify where the covers are stored, IE in my case as opposed to the artist image which is stored in the artist root folder the album image is another level down and stored in the album folder IE:

/home/zeltak/Zmusic/N/Neil Young/Le Noise/folder.jpg

btw out of curiosity, which music player is your main player ?

thx alot

Z.

PS if i can help in anyway (testing ofc, documentation etc) please let me know!!

My main players are cmus and shell-fm.
You can test lyvi with some other players for me if you want, as I really don't use lyvi with them.

zeltak · 2012-09-30 00:48:28

hi again

as you requested im testing some other players.. funny enough cmus didnt launch ;-):

zeltak@voices ~
% lyvi !282
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/bin/lyvi", line 988, in main
u.album = p.album
AttributeError: 'Cmus' object has no attribute 'album'

vlc worked well and ill continue with the other players in the next few days

can i request another view to add ? i would really like a "empty" view where only song metadata info is shown in the first line or two (user can choose which maybe? artist,track etc... i would use it to present a clean album image alongside a lyrics windows.

i have some more ideas but they involve reading/writing tags, i dont know how you feel about that and if you want to dive into that. some idea examples include saving the downloaded lyrics into the LYRICS tag, reading and writing rating fields etc.

Since extra tag fields are non standard among all players there is a commonly used FLOSS tag guide used by many FLOSS players (gmb, amarok etc) . if interested you can take a look at the Free Media Player Specifications Tag Specification:

http://gitorious.org/xdg-specs/xdg-spec … cation.txt

for how they define rating (FMPS_RATING) etc...

thx and all the best

Hi

As always fix works like a charm

no rush with the features, just reporting bugs i found

thx alot again for everything, its so much appreciated (not just by me bit other numerous arch users! )

bslackr · 2012-10-04 13:16:26

I got this error when I tried to run lyvi with mpd:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/lyvi", line 1019, in <module>
    curses.wrapper(main)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.2/curses/wrapper.py", line 43, in wrapper
    return func(stdscr, *args, **kwds)
  File "/usr/bin/lyvi", line 937, in main
    p.status()
  File "/usr/bin/lyvi", line 313, in status
    music_dir = line.split('"')[1]
IndexError: list index out of range

I changed line 313 to "music_dir = line.split('"')[0]" and that fixed it but I don't understand why that worked, or why the problem was there to begin with. The line in question is

music_directory        "~/music"

If it is split at the quotes than music_directory should be [0] and ~/music [1]. It's working for me now, but just figured I'd let you know, not sure what's going on here.

zeltak · 2012-10-05 12:26:51

Hya again

found another bug. this seems to happen only when you play external files in mpd (not in libraraym through a unix socket):

% lyvi !661
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/bin/lyvi", line 986, in main

KeyboardInterrupt

as always thx alot!

Rasi · 2012-10-05 17:39:36

lyvi stopped working for me.
my config is simple. a mpd_host and a mpd_port line. thats all.

First, it crashes instantly, if i dont have a ~/.mplayer/log file. Even tho i dont even want to use it with mplayer.
Second, if i create that file, it doesnt show a single thing. Just a message in its main window saying "Missing Tags"

OK100 · 2012-10-06 18:15:14

@bslackr: Are you using latest git version? Can I see your whole mpd config?

@zeltak: Let me take a look at it.

@Rasi: Add

player = mpd

to your config file (see below)

@all:
Changes in the latest commit:

Hide UI: 'h' key
Configuration option:
```
ui_hidden = False
```
Autoscroll: toggle with 'i' key, faster - 'p' key, slower - 'o' key
Configuration options:
```
autoscroll = False
autoscroll_time = 10
autoscroll_step = 1
```
Local images: New (or changed) options:
```
bg_local = False
bg_path_artist = None
bg_path_cover = None
```
You can use <artist>, <artistinitial> and <album> variables in the paths
New option - player: Allows to set default player
Configuration option:
```
player = None
```
Background: PIL is now used for modifying images instead of imagemagick. Brings another dependency on python-imaging, though. Also, I had to remove python3 support as python-imaging is not available for python3 yet.
New (or changed) options:
```
bg_color = 000000
bg_opacity = 0.15
```

Hope that's all
Documentation is still missing, though.

...and a screenshot:

I'm using urxvt like an image viewer... LOL

Feedback welcome.

hya

first of all thx for the amazing new features, its greatly appreciated!

it seems like though the new version isnt working for me in alot of areas.

fitst i cant get any images showing at all.

also using the option -c (for an alternative config file) default to the default config.

see 2 configs:

http://paste.xinu.at/81xo/
http://paste.xinu.at/heC/

and image showing the issue:
http://paste.xinu.at/ZT9/

see in the above screenshot there is an error it also outputs with the lyrics

thx alot again, lyvi is just gets better with age like a good wine ;-)

OK100 · 2012-10-07 07:10:37

Hi,

zeltak wrote:

Fixed. You probably wants bg_opacity value lower than 1, not 2 (see wiki). Also, make sure you have python-imaging package installed.

zeltak wrote:

This works fine for me. Can you post here whole command you use to run lyvi?

zeltak wrote:

By the way, your mpd_config_file option should be /home/zeltak/.mpdconf, not $HOME/.mpdconf.

Hello,

While trying to compile latest lyvi-git, I get a problem with its dependency python2-glyr-git.

I get the following output : http://pastebin.com/Wm1vm0ep

Have you an idea of the mistake I made ?

Thanks !

Looks like you have an old libglyr version installed. (It is the library that does actually find the metadata in the web).
Please update and try again:

$ yaourt -S glyr-git
$ glyrc --version

Hi again

yes the errors still happen even in the latest commit. see screen:

http://paste.xinu.at/Tit/

and error:

lyrics All (10s)Exception in thread Thread-3:

the lyrics still switch when the songs changes but the error is there.

as for the alternate config it seems it is actually reading it (the artist bio comes on) but it still ignores the hidden UI line and i still get a black background using the same parameters that now work in the default config. here is the alt config updated:

http://paste.xinu.at/SF5/

thx again

OK100 · 2012-10-07 14:42:48

@bslackr: Latest commit should fix your issue. If not, please post your complete mpd config (WITH comments).

@zeltak:
You probably have similar issue as bslackr, so try updating again.

Hi again

i have no idea what a code tag is but i assume its the forum tag option. please let me know if thats not what you meant

the error message in the lyrics view seems to be fixed.

the alternate config wont start now:
