Pianobar and pyPianobar v2.1 have been uploaded to Extras-Devel.
Nothing major. On the pianobar front just a build of todays snapshot of pianobar.
On pyPianobar I did quite a bit actually:
* Added a "*" to the end of all stations in your quickmix
* Fixed Album art to always be 100% size (no more tiny stupid images.)
* I (may) have fixed the 100% CPU error. I'll describe this below.
* I (hopefully) have fixed the album name from pushing all the buttons over to a corner. It (should) just cut the end of the album name off if it's too long. I haven't gotten scrolling to work. I also can't seem to get pandora to give me a really long album to test it with...
* The QComboBox for station lists work a little better IMHO. It still has the problem of jumping from top to bottom with the slightest flick (this I think is part of what'll be fixed in PR1.2).. BUT the actual scrolling is
significantly
smoother. Less lag and easier to scroll slowly to the proper station.
Ok so about the 100% CPU. I have had the report of Pianobar eating 100% cpu after X hours of play, and then I've also personally experienced and had a bug told to me on the voting pages of pyPianobar having a communication error and will then spawn a second pianobar confusing things all to hell - get to listen to two songs at once, and closing pyPianobar leaves an orphaned pianobar in the background playing.
Essentially, these errors were already
caught
(from what I knew?) meaning that pyPianobar told you pianobar had an error.. but my default method of handling this was just to open a new one and keep going.
I've added in there a check now to see if pianobar is still running, and then quit out of it and restart if it is.
Hopefully
this addresses a few problems.... I've never been able to listen to Pandora long enough to test
.
I don't think I'll be pushing these to Testing until I can get the current ones up to Extras.
I'm really put off on the whole voting thing. I can't for the life of me get anything into Extras until it's too late or I've already made a dozen changes. This system is
really
anti-"Release early, release often".
