new sonata is bugs all over the place

Since the latest update to sonata, I sometimes experience lots of bugs...

Right now, for example, I can't use pause/stop, etc... I closed it and tried to start again, it doesn't even start...
I get lots of these:

~$ sonata
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/sonata", line 49, in <module>
    app = sonata.Base()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sonata.py", line 1149, in __init__
    self.updatedb(None)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sonata.py", line 4595, in updatedb
    self.iterate_now()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sonata.py", line 1784, in iterate_now
    self.iterate()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sonata.py", line 1741, in iterate
    self.handle_change_status()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sonata.py", line 3357, in handle_change_status
    if self.scrob_playing_duration > 4 * 60 or self.scrob_playing_duration > int(self.prevsonginfo.time)/2:
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mpdclient3.py", line 311, in __getattr__
    raise AttributeError
AttributeError
~$

Sometimes I can't replace playlists, too, on lower-level directory trees, I have to go the music files themselves...
I'm sure there were other problems I can't remember right now...

Is this an Archlinux problem or Sonata's own?

Re: new sonata is bugs all over the place

i don't have these problems.
perhabs upgrading to mpd-svn fixes your problem.

mpd-svn is available on aur

Re: new sonata is bugs all over the place

Well this is some python error, but Sonata runs fine over here (1.4).

Re: new sonata is bugs all over the place

Your traceback makes it look like the audioscrobbler support is acting up. Try editing ~/.config/sonata/sonatarc and setting use_audioscrobbler to false and see if errors still come up. If this fixes it, I'd suggest contacting the author of sonata (he is an Arch user, stonecrest on IRC).

Re: new sonata is bugs all over the place

I also experienced a bad bug with the new Sonata.  In particular, Sonata wouldn't start, and died with the following:

Taglib and/or tagpy not found, tag editing support disabled.
ZSI not found, fetching lyrics support disabled.

Removing ~/.config/sonata/ fixed it.

Thanks, this is fixed in svn. (I doubt most users would stumble upon this bug.)

I'm not really sure how you got this error (it indicates that mpd didn't have a song length for your previously played song?), but I believe the traceback should be prevented in svn.

Sometimes I can't replace playlists, too, on lower-level directory trees, I have to go the music files themselves...

It works here. If you can tell me how to reproduce the issue, I'll fix it.

Re: new sonata is bugs all over the place

I get the same error as akrito.

It only happens when I disable the system tray icon.  Once I do that I have to remove .config/sonata to get it to work again.

No cause is lost if there is but one fool left to fight for it.
