Please test extensively as there are many, partially rather invasive, changes included in this release. In particular, a new database version requires an update. You, thus, should backup your song databases before running the new release for the first time and ensure that there is enough disk space for the upgrade.
First report:
Second report: + The default settings (with my hardware) using /dev/dsp makes the playback freeze when switching songs. device = /dev/dsp bufsize = 100 crossfading = on crossfadingstart = 5 crossfadingduration = 6 I don't know if this was the case before, but I know it was changed to a bufsize of 500 by me previously. I am now also using a crossfadingstart of 3 and crossfadingduration of 3 with only a bufsize of 300. Need to see if this makes the manual song switching more interactive. + I am interested in translating pytone to Dutch, if someone has good pointers where to start. I also need to investigate what terminology is used in Dutch, as I always use programs in English :/ + I'm wondering whether it makes sense to make 'w' also a shortcut to search by default. I'm often mistaken because I confuse it with the pine option for searching, I know that's not a good excuse, but maybe others have the same problem ? (and yes I already configured it like this for myself :) + Also would it be possible to keep the search window in place when pressing enter, and move to the next song when pressing enter again. The escape key (or a time out) could get you out of the window, it seems more natural to me than having you window disappear on you on the first match (which almost never was what I was looking for). + The extended search was interesting, even though I'm not quite clear how it should be extended :) However an XMMS like 'jump to song' functionality (based on both artist and songtitle) is still on my wishlist and provides a very interactive interface to quickly find what you were looking for. + I love the statistics :) + I was wondering if it was possible to put the Artists also in a seperate level instead of the root level. + In order to simplify the configuration, would it be possible to default to a dbenvdir like ~/.pytone/<dbname>/ so that it is not mandatory. Also not make basename not mandatory (I now have it as an empty option) and make type = local the default Thanks Joerg !
