A new lightweight music manager

msdelos · 2010-06-25 18:29:53

Nooo.. Sorry..

Rhythmbox, clementine, and parole, the only reproducers that I have installed works the same way.. First that is executed, it registers the keys..

But do not have installed gnome to test..

Search in Keyboard Preferences, if there is any option to configure it.

Regards.
Matias.

PhotonX · 2010-06-26 05:38:27

Nope, just the possibility to set and unset the keybindings... Is the problem with using the Gnome keybindings the additional dependency on Metacity?

msdelos · 2010-07-02 14:09:20

Maybe..
There is much resistance from users to add dependencies of gnome.
But even rhythmbox uses the Gnome keybindings..

Also, I'm trying with metacity and compiz, and working properly.

That is certainly a problem in your settings.

See this.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaKeys
or test it: http://pragha.wikispaces.com/message/view/home/25294057 . I did not check.

Helloo..

In subversion a prerelease of Pragha 0.8.0 "A tiny more fast"

News
Now is Pragha Music Player instead Pragha Music Manager.
Folder / Files library view replaced by Foders Estructure. (like in foobar2000) (1)
Add option to merge folders in folders estructure view.
Use gtk_tree_store_prepend rather than gtk_tree_store_append. It's much faster.

Bugs fixed:
Not scroll to the new path if already visible.
Preventing incomplete icon themes, restore Album png.
Use gnome-mime-audio icon to library_tree, and playlist_tree if exitst.
Check system tray before sending notifications.
Use correct PULSE_PROP_media.role audio, instead music.

Update po files.

(1) Again thank you very much to Roberto DMD.
A new feature of pragha that everyone loved.

Please test...
...and if they can, translateeee... Add only a new string: "Merge folders in the folders estructure view"

Actually, regarding keybindings in gnome. The gnome settings daemon will normally grab the multimedia keys (and prevent any other application from using them). Luckily you can register with the gnome settings daemon and request notifications whenever those keys are pressed. This all works via dbus, so you won't have a *hard* dependency to gnome. This is the way I did in Goggles Music Manager.

zenlord · 2010-09-02 09:17:18

OK, long time since I've been here. Since Consonance was not updated anymore, I've been using it until today. Tonight I'll install the new Pragha player and see how that works out.

Until then, I have made a dutch translation and submitted it in transifex and I have given my opinion on the notifications-poll.

Could you add the repeat one track feature?
A repeat button(track/album/playlist) on the status bar would be great!

msdelos · 2010-11-13 01:52:45

Hello people..

Good news for some, and an aberration for others.
.. but finally port pragha to use gstreamer..

Benefit?
* Add support for new formats: So far wma and m4a. Please checks support to m4a. I no have any m4a file to test.
* Add a new pulseaudio backend.
* Now it's free!. Can be packaged for fedora for example, since not depend directly of libmad.

Regressions:
* Lastfm not working. Soon fix it using https://github.com/felipec/libscrobbler. Adding librefm and love support.
* Lost Mod file support. Sorry.. but someone used it? In fact very easy to add support for this. Maybe fix it later.

Then, everything should work.

Please!, test and test!.
I'm not sure considerate of a final version, but it is the only version I'm using and it works correctly. Depends on your answers.

Please, for people who do not like gstreamer, the idea is support both versions.
The gstreamer version adding equalizer plugins, and others goodies required by users (Exaggerating? in a long time!-), leaving a basic version, and really fast and light as we have today.

Best regards.
Matias.

PhotonX · 2010-11-13 10:19:40

Wow, it's become even lighter (using 5,9MiB of RAM currently). Would there be a possibility to add an item into the context menu in the sidebar to play (not append to the current playlist!) the currently selected entry?

msdelos · 2010-12-05 16:17:30

HI people.
Pragha 0.8.4 and 0.92 (1) available:

I have little free time but pragha little by little continues to improve.

0.8.4 News:
* "Restore" replace and play option. (2)

Others Changes:
* Depend on external libkeybinder (Optional).
* Backport better generate of the recently-used data.

Bugs fixed:
* Disable "Add actions.." options if the notifier does not support it.

Updates Translations:
* Add Hungiran translatiton.
* Update others translation.

0.92 News?
The same changes and:
* Use cubic volume (Need optional gstreamer-plugins-base-devel). This provides better control of volume levels
* Sink volume with audio backend changes. Love it.

(1) We should find a way to differentiate them better. and so we can install in parallel. Suggestions?
(2) PhotonX. It's what you wanted?

Regards.
Matias.

msdelos · 2010-12-05 16:25:53

plutov03:
Sorry but no.
This feature is important for players like rhythmbox o iTunes, which focus on the entire collection. In players like pragha that focus on a playlist, if you just want to listen to a song, o a CD indefinitely, add only the songs you want to listen to current playlist. Then click on repeat and listen to your favorite songs all day.

PhotonX · 2010-12-05 16:48:19

msdelos, yes, thanks!

msdelos · 2011-02-05 00:17:35

Hello people.

In Subversion adds support for MPRIS2.
.. therefore PleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEE... I would like you test it before releasing a new stable version..

This thanks to Hakan Erduman http://erduman.de/blog/ (thank you very much!-)

Pleseee.. Insist!. Test, and comment!.

Regards.
Matias.

If pragha start correctly, but not playing. Select OSS from the preferences and restart.

Displaying the command line options
/pragha -h
-g, --audio_device Audio Device (For ALSA: hw:0,0 etc.., For OSS: /dev/dsp etc..)
-m, --audio_mixer Mixer Element (For ALSA: Master, PCM, etc.., For OSS: /dev/mixer, etc...)

.. try: pragha -g /dev/dsp -m /dev/mixer

It should work. There was any change since Consonance.

Linux? Bsd? Oss? oss4??

Sorry..
I am intrigued and do not know how to help.. I do not know OSS, and either its configuration and all the audio system remains the same as that of consonance.

Now.. before work no? Is not the first time you write in the forum..

Ehmm..
First would eliminate the configuration and start from scratch. (Only change the name of this directory ~/.config/pragha).
If that fails would install consonance. I usually do to see if there is any regression in pragha.

See this..Provide good information., http://wiki.debian.org/SoundFAQ

sebcactus · 2011-02-10 16:04:30

I am using ... Arch and oss4

I have the same pb with consonance.
I'll post in the multimedia subforum. It might be an oss pb, but I only have this pb with consonance/pragha at the moment

Edit topic created:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=113324

I used to use consonance and pragha but it can be that I was using alsa...

Last edited by sebcactus (2011-02-10 16:30:50)

msdelos · 2011-02-10 16:37:51

Okey..
I understand, oss4 is practically incompatible with the previous version.

According http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Configuration
"MPD includes support for OSSv3. OSS4 will work, except for the mixer." With Pragha and Consonance is exactly the same.

..and according to http://www.4front-tech.com/wiki/index.p … _for_OSSv4 :
"Add the following line to ~/.libao, default_driver=oss"

Saying that, I will hate everyone.. But this kind of problems, I like gstreamer.

Regards.
Matias.

sebcactus · 2011-02-10 16:53:11

Forgot to mention that I had already edited ~/.libao.
Looks like I have to forget about pragha or switch to alsa...
Thanks anyway
