it's in /usr/lib/kagu. after updating the exclusion list, you have to run kagu music scanner again and "do a full scan" for it to work.

Like the 1.0.8 release, things are improving.

On right hand side why is the fwd button at top with rev at bottom (with Pause/Play in middle) This feels counter intuitive my feelings are they should be other way around.

Playlists, How exactly do we view the created/Playlist of files. I would be great to be easily able to Create, Load, Save and manipulate a Playlist. The ability to re-queue Playlist tracks would be useful. ATM its very confusing adding files to a Playlist that you cannot see

Small text for the position in playing track is very small?

Internet Lyrics of playing track would be a very cool feature to add.

---edit --- Just had another look and realised that the now playing option can list the tracks selected in an on the fly Playlist highlighting in a deeper green the playing track. But when I look under Playlist option I see nothing?

Thanks Trevarthan, it's actually downloaded some great images, although it'll be great when we can define our own.

Please could you add a ticket to sort albums by year (via ID3 tag) once you've entered the artists menu? It would be great to have albums shown chronologically, especially when a band/artist has an extensive back catalogue . Thanks.

Also, when I first saw which forum this thread had been started in my heart sank - thinking v1.0.8 might be 2007OS only. Is there a (real) possibility in the (near) future that Kagu may have features 2006OS or the 770 can't handle?

rogue+skwr,

here is the how-to exclude search paths for the KAGU scanner, it is most convenient to do this from your home PC/Laptop via WLAN connection to the N800.

0) prerequisite: install openssh on the N800 via this link:
http://maemo.org/downloads/product/openssh

1) on your home PC/Laptop, download WinSCP http://winscp.net

2) find out which IP adress your N800 sits on in your home WLAN network (look in your home router configpage, e.g. mine is on 10.0.0.5)

3) start WINSCP, connect to this IP, use the root account, PW is rootme (DANGER! DANGER! DANGER!)

4) ignore the "missing ssh signature" etc thingy (to establish ssh keys is a real pain in the....)

5) you will find the N800 directory tree on the right side, go up to the root, from there navigate to /usr/lib/kagu

6) you will find the file "globals.py" in this folder

7) copy this file to your PC where you can find it, open this local file now in some text editor (I use PSPAD: http://pspad.com )

8) search for the line "path_a" (disq has written another path_a line for his own tests in there, but it is commented out by the "#" sign)

9) insert a "#" sign in front of the currently active path_a line to make it inactive, you might want to write "#original" at the end of this line so you have it for later reference

10) if you just want mmc1 (the external card) to be scanned, copy or write the following definition in a new line:
path_a = ['/media/mmc1']
Skwr: you can add any subfolder to this path (Like: /music)

11) save the globals.py file and re-upload it via WINSCP to the N800 to the same destination where it was, overwriting the (unedited) existing file

12) start KAGU SCANNER, do a full scan, it will now omit the internal card, your Navicore voice files will NOT show up in KAGU

13) start KAGU and delete the existing playlist

14) life happily ever after

just did all those steps (except #14) and it worked here on my N800, no other complications so far ..--))))))

if you do not have a home WLAN network you can do this also via XTERM and gainroot/becomeroot directly on the N800, but it is much more tedious (IMHO, as I am not familiar with XTERM shell commands...)

good luck,
karl.

MikeL,

you CAN add all or single songs or albums to the playlist, you CAN delete all or single songs from the playlist, and you CAN move around songs in the current playlist. Please see those two WIKI pages for a how-to:

https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/wik...&id=304&type=g

https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/wik...&id=304&type=g

and this page for an explanation of the buttons and icons:

https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/wik...&id=304&type=g

saving and recalling individual playlists does not work at the moment (thus the "playlist" option in the main menu is empty), but I understand it is high on the list of priorities.

cheers, karl.

We didn't make the thread this time. Someone on the forums beat us to it. They just chose the wrong category. Honestly, that's sort of a tradition in Kagu, as I put all of the previous release threads in the General category, whereas it should have been in the Apps category, IMO.

I didn't want two 1.0.8 release threads, so I decided to "hijack" this thread.

Kagu works on the 770. Don't fret. But A2DP doesn't work so well on the 770 due to CPU limitations.

Seems like we need some way to define the sort order. Alphabetic vs Year? Any ideas on how we could do that in the UI, disq?

That's an interesting idea. Anyone know where we might get such information?

.
Karl, thanks very much for these very clear steps. I'll be using the XTerm and gainroot method as that's a bit easier for me.

One "dumb" question: When editing the line
path_a = ['/media/mmc1']
I presume that the square brackets and the single quotes are needed.

At the start of your reply you said that this was how to "exclude" search paths but from your instructions it looks more like how to "include" search paths. Is there something else I'm not understanding?

Thanks again Karl for taking the time to do this.

And again a very big thanks to the creators of Kaju!

Skwr:

> I presume that the square brackets and the single quotes are needed.

yes, please type exactly as written

> it looks more like how to "include" search paths.

in a way yes, folder paths written in the path_a statement are those which ARE scanned. but as this list of folders is MUCH LONGER after the initial install of KAGU, following my instructions will practically "narrow down" paths. here is the original long path_a statement:

path_a = '/media/mmc1','/media/mmc2','/media/mmc3','/home/user/MyDocs/.sounds','/Volumes/OSX/iTunes']

cheers, karl.
