Re: Pianobar port - command line Pandora client
 

ham wont let u install any package that isnt set for user/* groups and i dont believe libao is. youll need to install with dpkg -i from the command line. i believe pianobar should work from HAM though. i didnt do the libao2 package... i found it in a repo off gronmeyer.

sorry bout grammar/spelling.... posted lazily from my n810 :)

Re: Pianobar port - command line Pandora client
 

Yeah I'm getting the same thing on my n810. This 'bumpiness' seems to be the kind of pop you hear with certain (desktop) emulator sound plugins - I can't think of a better way to ID it. CPU usage is satisfyingly low and despite the poppiness, the sound appears to be coming through just fine. I'm guessing libao is the culprit for the popping? I wonder if the same issue appears in os2007

Thanks again, and might I recommend linking to the n810 instruction post from the pypiano thread? Took me a bit to go from omgomgomgpandora!-With-a-gui-even!-omg to hey-this-isn't-working to here

EDIT: pianobar seems to make any text input into the terminal after pianobar was exited (Ctrl+c) invisible. Weird.

also - the link you provided for pypianobar has a single quote appended to the end

EDIT2: GUI doesnt seem to work. Can log in (characters for username/password don't show up), see my channels, but it doesnt seem to play music. Play button will switch between play and pause, not doing anything. There is a static song title, author and album. I hit the plus button and it seems to stick there.

This could all be because I installed the pyqt packages from extras-devel, but I don't think that is the case

Re: Pianobar port - command line Pandora client
 

Yup.. my first thought was libao as well. What I might do is try and build my own instead of using the one I found from the repo.

Yeah, unless you use the "q" to exit weird things happen... see below too.

Thanks, fixed.

This happens randomly on mine too and it isn't pypianobar... pianobar just stops playing. It shows a song title and artist and just sits there. Only way I've found to fix it is to reboot and run pyPianobar again. It seems something wasn't built properly for the N8x0 with the popping noises and this.. I don't think it's pianobar because I literally built it *completely* on the device itself. I didn't use an SDK or anything.

Re: Pianobar port - command line Pandora client
 

Okay, I managed to get Pianobar working on my N800 also. Low cpu-usage Pandora, that's awesome. However, I can confirm the problems mentioned before - frequent 'popping' noises, text input gets hidden, and sometimes it stops playing music altogether. Is libao0 the cause of all these? I couldn't say.

I haven't tried the GUI yet - it looks like my tablet has some Python requirements that I don't have - but for now I'll stick with the command line. I don't know how everyone else has figured out what buttons do what [edit]I see how now, you just type '?'...duh[/edit], but I found documentation of a sort here: http://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar...src/pianobar.1

Anyways, thanks for getting us this far, and hope to see this grow even better in future!

Re: Pianobar port - command line Pandora client
 

If you start pianobar, select a channel, pause, bring up the search dialog for artist / song, (n is what I pushed I believe), and then exit with ctrl+c, the next time you try to play something in pianobar it will actually give an error - hope that helps

Re: Pianobar port - command line Pandora client
 

Install my Deb.. which will give you an error.. then run:

It should pull down all your missing dependencies.

Also that file you found is a MAN page.. I don't recall if I had it in the N8x0 deb or not... try "man pianobar" from the command line. The N900 strips these out whether i put them in the deb or not.

Re: Pianobar port - command line Pandora client
 

Yeah.. it is definitely *strongly* recommended to use "q" to quit out. Once I release this new pyPianobar it will definitely help with this.. it always use "q" to quit pianobar so theres never an interruption.

Re: Pianobar port - command line Pandora client
 

Ah, thanks. Though I think I'll wait until you release the version that fixes the problem with not quitting gracefully, so that I won't have to reboot each time (at least from what I read, that's the impression I get on what I'd have to do).

Re: Pianobar port - command line Pandora client
 

It's not every time. Seems random.. sometimes it works a bunch and sometimes only once. For the current version just use the "ZZZ" button.. it gracefully quits. The new one I finally figured out how to trap the normal "X" to quit an app and force it to also gracefully quit and not just cut off pianobar.

If you're waiting on the new version... some Help & Feedback in the other thread about design, layout, etc would be greatly appreciated. Most of the functionality is there I just want, before I submit 1.0 up through to extras, to have an interface that a good number of people have said is good enough.

Re: Pianobar port - command line Pandora client
 

I think I found the problem to the clicking!! Around these forums (because these forums ROCK!) there were problems of people with N8x0 getting clicking with MPD and the solution was to edit /etc/libao.conf and change the default driver to "esd" instead of "alsa".

So I did it and voila. I don't hear clicking... Maybe you can guys can give it a shot and see if it works.
