New music player - Exaile!

[amunimanghi]

Are you on Breezy or Dapper? Looks like you're on Breezy and you used the Exaile .deb which requires Dapper packages.

I'm on Breezy. Does this mean it only works on Dapper. I'm going to upgrade really soon. I can wait.

I tried it on Breezy, reported my problems here and was told it only works on Dapper. It's somewhere back in the thread, I don't blame you for not spotting it though...

Sounds like you have non-ubuntu repos in your sources.list

But I haven't although the .deb of gstreamer plugins was the one you pointed to earlier which was from the debian repos.


EDIT Scrach that I've found a repo with a Ubuntu compatable one

Synic, I've been more busy than usual lately, so I've only now got the time to test exaile out with tab fetching, but I can't find the option? How do you do it? Did you remove the feature? I installed on my PC with the deb.

I have a whole day off tomorrow, I can test her out a lot tomorrow.

If the feature's been removed, can you send me a .deb with it included or something?

I have a whole range of music that I think will be good to test its usability.

OLGA might be more comprehensive than fretplay, but there are so many other sites too. What is the criteria for a good tab site for this function?

Right click on the track, and go to "Track Information"

Exaile is simple and nice. Great work.

But, could you have a look at this screenshot?

Some files seem to have their ID3 tags corrupted when I'm using Exaile. They looked right in Rhythmbox, but after modifying some of the tags with Exaile, then the opposite happened: the modified files looked right in Exaile and wrong in Rhythmbox, and also in FooBar2000, when I boot with winXP.

I'm using Ubuntu 6.06, and my music library is on a FAT32 partition.

Thanks!

There a few dependencies missing if your using Xubuntu

Python2.4-dbus
Python2.4-imaging
Python2.4-libxml2
Python-pyogg

Are missing on the default install..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Also there is a bug, when changing tracks, It doesn't attempt to fetch the lyrics.... you have to reload the playlist

[darehanl]

Looks good. I'm seriously considering switching

Just a few bug reports/requests:

1. Dependency python-pyvorbis seems to be missing. But that's all I needed to add, the rest was taken care of by apt.
2. Whenever I click "Set custom Image," the file browser opens in /usr/share/exaile. It would be nice if the file browser open from where it was last opened, or the directory the music file is in.
3. Eventual support for internationalization (gettext). I'd love to translate Exaile.

Ah, I'll add these deps.

I'm not sure what you mean about fetching lyrics?

   Ok, this is now in the control file
   
2. Whenever I click "Set custom Image," the file browser opens in /usr/share/exaile. It would be nice if the file browser open from where it was last opened, or the directory the music file is in.
   Done
   
3. Eventual support for internationalization (gettext). I'd love to translate Exaile.
   I've actually been programming with gettext, so I'll get back to you when I have everything ready for that
   

Your changes are in SVN and will be in the next release.
