ReplyGain support ?
by Dag Wieers 21 Jul '05

21 Jul '05

Hi, It would be nice if Pytone could support this. It seems pretty simple, music files are tagged with the necessary information to allow music players to adjust volume during playback. I got the information from: http://sjeng.org/vorbisgain.html and http://replaygain.org/ I frequently have to adjust my set when using pytone and this seems to be a simple but effective solution. I found no any information in the TODO about future support for something like this, so I thought I'd mention it :) -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power]

Pytone 2.2.3 plays only with debugfile = on!
by Stefan Wimmer 20 Jul '05

20 Jul '05

Hi all, the title says it all :) I downloaded the new Pytone-2.2.3 and installed it on 2 machines (PC & laptop both running Gentoo) and it works like a charm on the notebook but *not* on the PC :( On the PC it refuses to play any music listed in the playlist even if I use Alt+Enter on a highlighted item ... except I use '-d ~/.pytone/pytone.debug'!!! Then it starts to play the music without any problem :) Another problem is that I am not sure if it makes sense that I attach a debug-file because then it works :) I attach my pytonerc anyway ... Any other idea what is going wrong? Greetz Stefan

by Andreas Poisel 16 Jul '05

16 Jul '05

Hi! I just tried the audioscrobbler plugin for the first time. It works perfectly with MP3 files encoded with various rippers/encoders. With OGG files (created with jack) the audioscrobbler website tells me: 8<----------------------------------------------------- We detected a problem with a recent plugin submission: Incorrect length 8<----------------------------------------------------- I can't find any additional information about this problem, any ideas? Thank you! -- Andi

Installation Issues.
by Kahlil Johnson 09 Jul '05

09 Jul '05

hi I installed the Pytone and got some erros when I tried running, I saw that some stuff in the configuration file are hardcoded. For example on the /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pytone/config.py I found that there is a fixed mp3 folder saying /mnt/mp3/playlist I obviously dont have that folder so I wrote mine, but I also found there are A LOT of hardcoded stuff. If someone has run this software and have some word of advice I will appreciate. -- Kahlil Johnson "Ya tengo GMAIL!!"

JumpTo plugin
by Dag Wieers 29 Jun '05

29 Jun '05

Hi, I'm writing a JumpTo plugin, which will follow the currently playing song if the playlistwin has focus and a song changes. This is to get the behaviour that the cursor is moving the current song whenever the playlist is begin focussed. As was mentioned in a previous thread, I think this is was people actually expect. Anyway, when doing the implementation, the plugin has to jump to the currently playing song, but the only information I have is the name of the song and apparently the selectbyname() functionality of the slist class bails out when using this: [dag@emyn .pytone]$ pytone Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pytone/pytone.py", line 273, in ? m.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pytone/mainscreen.py", line 125, in run self.channel.process() File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pytone/hub.py", line 167, in process handler(item) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pytone/plugins/jumpto.py", line 36, in playbackinfochanged self.mainscreen.playlistwin.playlist.selectbyname(event.playbackinfo.song) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pytone/slist.py", line 217, in selectbyname if self[i].name == name: AttributeError: playlistitem instance has no attribute 'name' Any other ideas for implementing this ? -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power]

pytone memory and disk-usage after indexing
by Dag Wieers 29 Jun '05

29 Jun '05

Hi, Back home (after being abroad 2.5 months) I installed pytone on my main music system. This system has 52GB of music (I have a huge collection of music CDs) of about 11.500 songs. Now, most of the music players I know have problems handling that amount of files. Usually this is memory related. Pytone consumes 140MB of RAM, which is compared to other players, not that bad. Some players consume far worse (not even usable with such a collection). In fact when I restarted it it only consumed 15MB residential memory and 183MB virtual memory, before, when indexing, it consumed 140MB of residential memory and 360MB of virtual memory. Furthermore, pytone works pretty well using the interface, but startup time the first time after it has indexed that much music was terrible. It took up too much time. 8 minutes ! After that I restarted and it started immediately. And what might be even worse and probably the cause of this terrible startup time, is the amount of diskspace it consumed to store all the information. [dag@lisse .pytone]$ du -s * 1398032 music 17176 music.db 4 pytonectl 4 pytone.dump That's 1.4GB ! When I then restarted pytone again (after it was busy for 8 minutes) the result was: [dag@lisse .pytone]$ du -s * 760 music 17176 music.db 4 pytonectl 4 pytone.dump So I'm a bit stunned about the big difference. What's so different if you start pytone the first time after having it indexed ? Why does it takes so much diskspace and time to start ? I believe this same issue bit me before on my laptop when my disk was full during indexing just because of pytone's logfiles. This of course corrupted the database itself requiring a removal.

Hi, Here's a patch to make pytone less picky about section names. I have music-directories called 1a, 1b, 1c, 2a... and the section-names were not allowed to have numbers in them. The error was also very confusing to why it gave me a backtrace. Only after seeing the code snippet it was clear that numbers were not allowed. --- /usr/lib64/python2.3/site-packages/pytone/config.py.orig 2005-06-27 02:03:18.403637368 +0200 +++ /usr/lib64/python2.3/site-packages/pytone/config.py 2005-06-27 02:02:45.713607008 +0200 @@ -715,7 +715,7 @@ mainsection, subsection = section.split(".") except: raise ConfigError("Unkown configuration section '%s'" % section) - if mainsection not in sections or not subsection.isalpha(): + if mainsection not in sections or not subsection.isalnum(): raise ConfigError("Unkown configuration section '%s'" % section) # get corresponding config class try: Kind regards, -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power]

ANN: PyTone 2.2.4 released
by Joerg Lehmann 28 Jun '05

28 Jun '05

Hi, I've just uploaded the long-awaited PyTone 2.2.4 to the usual place: http://www.luga.de/pytone/download/PyTone-2.2.4.tar.gz This release restores the network functionality. Nnote that doing so, I've cleaned up the network configuration options a bit, so you may need to update your config files. It is now possible to display not only the currently selected song in the item info window but alternatively the song currently being played on the players. Various bugs have been fixed, for details see the attached portion of the ChangeLog. I've included the AudioScrobbler plugin (provided by Nicolas Évrard) and plugins for displaying the currently playing song in the X11 terminal title bar and using the xosd program (contributed by Dag Wieers) in the distribution. Later on, they should probably be distributed separately. Alex Wirt already offered to setup a corresponding site. Enjoy, Jörg 2005-06-20 Jörg Lehmann <joerg(a)luga.de> * Version 2.2.4 released. * window.py: Include a workaround by Dag Wieers <dag at wieers dot com> which prevents flickering when switching between the filelist and database windows. * plugins: Include audioscrobbler plugin contributed by Nicolas Évrard <nicoe at altern dot org>). * config.py: Rename listen to bind in network section. 2005-06-06 Jörg Lehmann <joerg(a)luga.de> * Rewrite plugin loader to use imp module: Use imp module to specify plugin search path and log errors instead of aborting * mainscreen.py: Use getmaxyx() code provided by Dag Wieers <dag at wieers dot com>. 2005-06-04 Jörg Lehmann <joerg(a)luga.de> * events.py: Renamed attribute songs -> items in playlistchanged event. 2005-05-28 Jörg Lehmann <joerg(a)luga.de> * item.py: Import _genrandomchoice function needed for random selections of filesystem directories from services.songdb, where it was moved to some time ago (thanks to Dag Wieers <dag at wieers dot com> for reporting this issue). 2005-05-22 Jörg Lehmann <joerg(a)luga.de> * mainscreen.py: Force minimal height and width of window. 2005-05-18 Jörg Lehmann <joerg(a)luga.de> * iteminfowin.py: Fix some small bugs in the songchanged event handler. * iteminfowin.py: Allow toggeling between different states: show information about either the currently selected song or the song being played on the configured players. * config.py: Add new option toggleiteminfowindow in keybindings.general section. 2005-05-17 Jörg Lehmann <joerg(a)luga.de> * requests.py, services/songdb.py: Handle getlastplayedsongs as other requests by just supplying another wrapper function. * playerwin.py: Do not close playerinfo file every time (thanks to Dag Wieers <dag at wieers dot com> for the patch). * item.py: Zero-pad seconds (thanks to Dag Wieers <dag at wieers dot com> for the patch). * Add xterm plugin contributed by <dag at wieers dot com>, which sets the title of an xterm window according to the currently playing song. 2005-05-11 Jörg Lehmann <joerg(a)luga.de> * playlistwin.py: Check for playstarttime not being None before referencing it (thanks to Stefan Wimmer <swimmer at xs4all dot nl> for reporting this problem). * services/playlist.py: Make immediate play of song working again (thanks to Dag Wieers <dag at wieers dot com> for reporting this problem). 2005-05-10 Jörg Lehmann <joerg(a)luga.de> * config.py: replace all occurrences of server/port by networklocation * Make remote databases work again. * Remote players should at least partially work again.

pytone getmaxyx limits
by Dag Wieers 24 Jun '05

24 Jun '05

Hi, Thanks for adding the getmaxyx patch. I proposed the values of 27 for height and 25 for width based on my use. (onewindow layout) I took 27 for the height because anything less crashed pytone in the onewindow layout. (Please verify this on your system) Also I took 25 for the width, because that was still acceptable in the onewindow layout. I understand 50 might be more useful if you have the twowindow layout. But it's too much for onewindow. There is also a second issue, on start-up these values are not enforced. I can easily start pytone in a 40x30 window (what I prefer for the onewindow layout). This can cause crashes if this is below certain limits (25x27) Also because this is not enforced there is window-corruption when initiating pytone with smaller than allowed dimensions and then changing the dimensions.

Pytone bug in handling truncated files
by Dag Wieers 22 Jun '05

22 Jun '05

Hi, I noticed that pytone has problems with truncated music files. Playing some files that hadn't finished yet downloading, pytone uses the original play-length, but when it gets to the end of the file (somewhere half of the original length) it continues (but plays a different song). So suddenly it switches to (what seems to be) a random other song from the playlist. Without fading. I also had a crash once that I think is related to truncated files) -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power]
