a player called deadbeef

[komputes]

Thanks starws, that worked like a charm!

The biggest thing that is blocking me now is that I'd like to transfer over a selection of songs to my iPod. I don't expect deadbeef to do this but at least I need a way to copy songs in a playlist so that they can be imported in a program which supports this device.

First I need to export/copy files in the playlist to a folder. This is not working for me but could be the beginning of a workaround or solution. This is as far as I got:

1) Export pls file

2) Filter out the path of the files

cat playlist.pls | grep / | cut -d / -f "2-100" | sed -e 's/media/\/media/'| sed -e 's/\ /\\\ /g' > pls.tmp

3) for loop to copy every file to playlist dir

for i in `cat pls.tmp` ; do cp $i /home/komputes/Desktop/playlist/; done;

ATM the for loop is getting stuck on the delimiter so the copy won't work.

I'd rather post here than open a new topic for my problem.

I've enable the OSD notify, but, even if enabled from the options, it just shows the deadbeef symbol instead of the album art in the notification...anyone knows how to fix this ? (I'm on Ubuntu 12.10 )

Does it shows album art for this track in playlist window?

yes

[starws]

yes

Deadbeef version is 0.5.6 ?

How did you install deadbeef? From ppa:starws-box/deadbeef-player ? From http://deadbeef.sourceforge.net/download.html ?

Is "Show album art" option enabled in OSD Notify plug-in configuration?

I'm running 0.5.5 from ubuntu repositories , and the plugin is correctly configured...should I install deadbeef from that repo ?

I'm running 0.5.5 from ubuntu repositories

There is no deadbeef in ubuntu repositories, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/572977

should I install deadbeef from that repo ?

Yes, these sources are tested and highly recommended.

[Hate]

thanks, installing from that repo worked.

Yay, this thing rules. Alexey has done one of the greatest jobs ever with this software. And that's simply because years ago, the only one that could hold (half) a candle to deadbeef was rhythmbox...

There is only two features I'd like to have, but I prefer not to bother Alexey about them (yet):

(1) "Physical move support". That is, when you have a bigger playlist and suddenly spot a Death Metal album in Folk section, the only way to move it where it belongs is:
-- Use Nautilus (or similar) to physically move the album
-- Remove album file names from current playlist
-- Manually readd moved album to current playlist

ddb's ever-unrivaled Win32/64 competitor foobar2000 still can do this in a more convenient fashion.

(2) A way to search for PATHS

This is bugging me most. As most "iTuners" have their music catalogued in a wagonload of folders, this may sometimes be the only way to find an album by name, since it doesn't happen too rarely that the tracks are simply generic: track01.mp3, track02.mp3...

So AFAICS currently the only way to find an album by name in a multi-album playlist is to remember a single track of the album, since not even a tiny part of the file path will be parsed in search. TRACK NAMES ONLY (and some of their usually irrelevant metadata)

thing is syntaxerror74 deadbeef is not really a library player is it? not sure it was ever designed to be one of those ... more of a ad hoc player with the ability to store parallel playlists with the tabs
clementine would be a better choice for a library or even atunes
