New music player - Exaile!

[almahtar]

Yep, it's the same one I'm getting.

HOORAY!! IT WORKS!!

Thanks Harold! that did the trick. I am so relieved that it all works so well. Now at least Totem will play wma's.

I just put support in for .wma. You'll need to install the gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg package for it to work.

Well I now have the gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg package installed, but Exaile! still wont play .wma files. Have I forgot to do something? They now play in Totem player, but I really like the look and feel of Exaile!

I'm getting the wx.App error now as well after updating:

hollywoodb@hollywoodb ~/exaile $ ~/bin/exaile_svn_fetch
Checked out revision 974.

Here's the breezy version from like 4 days ago:

http://www.harold.liberty-host.com/exaile.tar.gz

Download it to your home directory, then extract it. then run this in terminal:

cd ~/exaile && ./exaile

Or, if you're too lazy to use command line then go into your home directory, open the exaile folder, and double click on exaile. You'll be prompted with this notice:



Click "Run".

Have fun...

Edit: Umm, is it a bug that if you press X to close the window, it doesn't minimize to the tray? (It just closes the whole thing.) If it isn't, that'd be a nice feature.

Edit (2): In order for this to work, you have to have the correct dependencies installed:

apt-get install python-wxgtk2.6 python-pysqlite2 python-pymad gstreamer0.8-mad python-gst

When trying to run the program, I'm getting this error:

eric@motherland:~/exaile$ /home/eric/exaile/exaile
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "exaile.py", line 44, in ?
    xlmisc.log_exception()

AssertionError: No wx.App created yet

I can't find libgstreamer0.10-plugins-good in the repositories either...

http://packages.debian.org/unstable/...0-plugins-good

Does that help?

Dependency problem?

Only use that one if you have breezy. Make sure you ran this:

sudo apt-get install python-wxgtk2.6 python-pysqlite2 python-pymad gstreamer0.8-mad python-gst

before you try to run it.

OK I'm using Dapper so I'll wait for the next release, looks good though.

Looks nice, is it gnome specific, or is it just gtk+? I'm interested in using it in xfce,since Xmedia is horrible, and well amarok rocks so well kinda like this project.

Do you work together with amarok? Both projects could benefit from it I think.
