A few feature requests (and if granted I'm willing to write those).
1. I'd like to have a key (or maybe an external command) to invoke a trace dump. This would be very useful when debugging pytone.
I'm not sure that I understand what you mean exactly with this. Should this key trigger an exception in the main thread. Probably, this won't be too useful as the problem might be with anoth thread.
Aren't you dumping all the object-data ? Because that's what I like, to compare the complete object-data from a working process to one from one that doesn't play at all.
No, only the object data of the main thread is being dumped. And for the problem at hand this is probably going to be pretty useless. And I wouldn't even know how to get this information for the other threads.
I still have this problem where pytone does not want to play songs anymore, I can queue but it does not play. Restarting pytone does not help unless I enable -d (or disable when it was enabled when I have this issue).
Have you tried the latest SVN version - I think I found the race condition at least for the problem where PyTone won't play anything right after startup.
Well, that's the problem. Although I think it once suddenly stopped working with similar behaviour. Of course *that* happened when I had a small party in my new appartement. :)
Aii...
I'l check, but it happens so infrequent (especially because I have it running for a long time). So I can't say right away if it is fixed or not.
I know, and if it happens it would be good to have some way to find out why. In particular, where the player or playlist thread got stuck. But see above.
3. In the default view, I can see how many Songs and Albums I have, but the Browser window's title only shows how many songs I have (again), not how many artists. (Even though that's the current view)
+--[ 6 databases (15459 songs) ]---++-----[ Tom Waits - [opening Intro] ]------+ |[Songs (15459)]/ ||Time: 0:35/ 2:58 ########################| |[Albums (1325)]/ |+------------------------------------------+ |[Decades (8)]/ ^+------------[ Directory Info ]------------+ |[Genres (106)]/ #|Albums | |[Ratings (6)]/ #| | |[Top played songs]/ #| |
Maybe that's less important, still... Maybe that belongs in an (other?) statistical message box ?
Hmm, this is for purely historical reasons, but in principle one could live even without this information. I don't know.
Still I would like to see how many artists I have as well. You decide where that info should go :-)
Ah, now I've got your point. Maybe, one could just show the number of artists instead of the number of songs. -> TODO Jörg
