Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

I just noticed that youamp will no longer open its preferences window, and sometimes the program itself won't open. Seems like I've been updating this program quite frequently, today's update broke it I guess.

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

python-gconf is broken in several versions of pymaemo. MediaBox works around this by shipping a fallback gconf module which uses gconftool-2 for accessing gconf.

For YouAmp, it could help to upgrade pymaemo. However, I don't know which version finally fixed it or whether it's still broken.

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

try to start it from the terminal as "youamp-player" to get a proper error message.

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

I have only encountered that once with the first release of YouAmp on Chinook, but when I bumped the dependancies it went away. I think diablo should have the fixed versions only.

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

Thanks for the suggestions.

I do have the latest pymaemo installed.

Mediabox runs fine on my n810.

I just tried mClock, which is also a python app and it gives the same gconf error.

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

Here are the errors I am getting:

On startup:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "debian/youamp/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/youamp/controller.py", line 164, in _now_playing

After trying to open Preferences, Youamp will not exit cleanly. Python remains running.

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

thanks, that seems like a real bug. An updated version is under way.

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

any chance of seeing youamp remembering where in the individual file one was the last time the program was in use?

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

I tried to implement that some time ago, and got it working on the desktop system. But on the N8x0, it worked only for ogg files, since the DSP messed up the timings.

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

I reflashed and restored my backup. Youam now runs but does not find any of my mp3 files. Preferences are also not working for me. I did try deleting .musicdb but it did not help.

--startup error
load_track: could not find tree path

--preferences error

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

the preferences bug is fixed in the 0.4.1-3 version. You can set the music folder there.

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

I'm using 0.4.1-3 and I can't open the preferences window.

Cheers!

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

I indeed did not fix that issue properly. -4 is on the way. report back if does not fix the issue.

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

-3 release didn't work for me (no preferences, youamp exit problem). -4 works fine.

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

An old problem has resurfaced with -4. The highlighted song in the playlist is not advancing as the next song is played. I see the following when the next song is played:

get_seek: query failed

Also, on startup, I see:

Exception in thread Thread-1:

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

preferences now work for me.

problem now is in updating the database. It never updates because of the following error. The mp3 plays fine with the built in player.

Added: file:///media/mmc1/mp3.pda/country/alabama/07 - When We Make Love(1).mp3

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

hmpf, i did some code refactoring for 0.4.1 and now there a some rarely triggered errors out there. I fixed the last bunch of them.

The "query failed" thing is rather a warning, when gstreamer does not respond in time.

0.4.2 is coming...

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

Great! Thanks!

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

just a small request/suggestion.

When selecting an artist from the list, the list shows music for the selected artist. When going back to "browse" - the list resets to the top.

So - fx. when hitting a wrong artist (one above or below the one I actually wanted), I have to hit browse, and then scroll down to the artist I want.
It would be nice if browse remembered where it was in the list when going to artist and back again (does that make sense)?

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

I already thought of that too, its definitely on the todo list now.

edit: done in svn

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

sweet - thanks

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

here is a small preview of the coming 0.5.0 release:
http://www.rojtberg.net/wp-content/u...player-050.png

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

and it seems to be out....

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

yeah, and the changelog is:

* restore scroll position in browser
* more verbose last.fm connection status
* display cover
* right click menu (tap and hold)

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

a quick solution that worked for me with the gconf issues:

cp /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gnome/gconf.so /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gnome/.

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

thanks for that fix oberon.

anyone interested in this?

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

looks good madman - must say that youamp is my only music player on my N800.
Regarding the gui - a nice thing would be user defined width in columns (fx artist column could be dragged wider).

- another nice thing, would be a modular view. When I'm standing on a specific artist + album, the list info (to me) seems redundant, as it also contains artist and album. Would be nice if the user could specify what is shown, fx "track number" "title" "length" (my wish list ;) )

I just found two minor things in the latest version.

1: missing album art.
Album art doesn't show up if the folder containing the song has [] in the folder name - fx. "coldplay - viva la vida [2008]". As soon as I remove the [], or change it to () - album art shows up without a problem.

2: next song
When playing a song (fx. song 3 on an album) and browsing for the next song - youamp automatically skips the first song in list I'm stainding in (fx. a new album) - can be because youamp automatically highlights the first song?

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

the two bugs you've found are now fixed in SVN. I am going to think about how to solve the redundancy problem...

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

What is the purpose of the last.fm login? Does it just send your listening history to your account?

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

yeah, exactly.

here are the changes for 0.5.2:
* allowselecting the next song to be played
* auto untoggle the shuffle button if selecting an order
* load images from directories containing []
* fix bug with skipping first song
* display playcount in Details

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

hmm, it seems that youamp cant find the mp3 files i have sitting at the root of my sd card...

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

Please add support for the "oga" extension. It seems that the official extension for Ogg Vorbis audio is now oga (as opposed to ogv for video). SoundJuicer from Gnome, for one, keeps creating .oga files.

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

i downloaded youamp but it wont launch. is there another program i should install first?

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

try running youamp-player in terminal and look for errors.

heh, doing that just to test, i noticed a message saying that one my files had a bad id3 header, making youamp ignore it.

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

Hello Pavel:

This is the errors I receive in version .5.4-6 on a N800 with 5.2008.43-7 firmware.

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

should be fixed in 0.5.5-1

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

Hello Pavel:

First thanks for the quick fix the program indeed runs now.

I select External in Preferences and it finds the Media --> Audio folder and plays the mp3's. But does not play the .m4a (aac) files in the folder.

I also have all my aac music in the External but under
Media --> Music --> Artist --> Album --> Songs.
YouAmp finds none of these.
Do I need to rearrange the folder structure or is aac not supported, I thought it was.

Thanks in advance
Al

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

thats because YouAmp currently only searches for "*.mp4" files, but not for "*.m4a" files, which are actually the same.
I have just added "m4a" and "oga" to the known extensions, so they will be found after the next release.
But I am still not sure how urgent this is - basically I would like to add some features before doing a new release...

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

I found the music folder path is not saved properly. It reverts to default (/media/mmc1/) every time I start the program. It annoys me a lot since I would prefer having YouAmp to read only from one of my folders.

Can it be fixed in the upcoming version?

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

I would also hoping to have the column sizes adjustable and the sizes saved to config file. I also would like to see the list can be sorted by clicking at a column. More columns to choose from (e.g. length of clip, artist + title combined option, track number, codec, bitrate)

Cosmetic changes would also be nice - having a larger album art, adding a playback timer, a longer progress bar (may need to rearrange the controls...)

Thanks for your great music player. Please keep on improving it!
