gmpc-tagedit doesn't work

Hello,

i tried to build my own gmpc-tagedit because the version in aur seems outdated and somehow strange (old deps, wrong description, etc)

I followed this page http://gmpc.wikia.com/wiki/GMPC_PLUGIN_TAGEDIT and installed "libmpd", "gmpc","gob2" as dependencies.
I couldn't find "taglib_c" therefore i used "taglib"

Here's the pkgbuild I "made" (copied most of the old one - i'm still very insecure at building packages)

# Maintainer: cl10k <>
# Contributor: cl10k <>

pkgname=gmpc-tagedit
pkgver=0.19.96
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Audio File Tag-Editor for GMPC"
arch=('i686')
url="http://gmpc.wikia.com/wiki/GMPC_PLUGIN_TAGEDIT"
license=('?')
depends=('taglib' 'libmpd' 'gmpc' 'gob2')
options=('')
source=(gmpc-tagedit-0.19.96.tar.gz)
md5sums=('b37b44e038d6ea863036921af1df6d82')

build() {
  cd ${startdir}/src
  tar xzf ${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz 
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
}

It builds and installs (pacman -U...) without any errors.

Still the Tag-Editor in gmpc only shows greyed out Tags. You can't insert/change anything. You can't even add anything to the Editors-Qeue.

The gmpc-wiki says you need to configure tagedit under music/preferences/... but there are no options to choose. You can only activate/deactivate the plugin.

I'm using mpd 0.15.7-1 and gmpc 0.19.1-1

Please help, my audio files are in desperate need of new tags..

Thanks in advance

No gmpc users here? Which (lightweight) tools do you use for tagging audio files?

Thank you for answering, but QT? Not my definition of "lightweight"... Any alternatives maybe? ;-)

Re: gmpc-tagedit doesn't work

Had same problem, as of 13/07/2011 this is a working solution for me:

(from: http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.ph … #msg39335)

1.) Select the songs you want to change.
2.) Right click -> Tools -> Queue songs for tag edit.
3.) Switch to the "Tag Editor" window.
4.) Change the tags according to your wishes. Note: The changes are not executed immediately (only queued) until next step.
5.) Click "Save"

Notes to Item 1.)
You can not add songs in the "Tag Editor" window. You must therefore use the other "browser windows" like "Search", "Play Queue", "Database" ...

Notes to Item 2.)
If "Queue songs for tag edit" under "Tools" is missing, you must specify the correct path to the music files (Music -> Preferences -> Connenction -> Music Directory).
