Great job so far.

One feature request would be to add AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Protocol) support to Yaspot as well. Then it would be possible to use a bluetooth remote enabled headphones (e.g nokia BH-214) to control yaspot.

Another thing that I noticed that is not working at the moment is headphone daemon. (See: http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/headphoned/)
When removing headphones yaspot continues to play music as before. Though I suggest that this is more of a "bug" in headphone daemon as it does not send the signal to 3rd party applications, am I right?

I'm successfully using yaspot with my premium account at the very moment through 3G in southern Finland. So pretty odd that it doesn't work for you. Are you able to try any other premium account?

I'll ask if my little brother would be so kind and borrow his account for testing next weekend. Yes it seems to be pretty strange especially because this doesn't seem to affect anybody else.


e: when running qtify from command line: "authentication failure" and yaspot:""authentication failed: Client upgrade required"

could you please let me know how you run yaspot from terminal to check what message i get (dummy's guide as I'm not familiar with terminal at all...)?
Thanks

EDIT: i figured out how to do it (it was easier than i thought!) and I get the same message "Client upgrade required"

anybody any idea?!?!

A yaspot process in the way?

ps -ef | grep yaspot

"2915 user 2088 S grep yaspot"


what does that mean?

that you are fine

That there was only *one* process with "yaspot" in its command line, the grep command you were running. Since there is only one, there can't be a process instance of yaspot running.

BATTERY WARNING: yaspot and pulseaudio may eat your battery

I noticed this morning that my battery was lower than it should be. After looking, I've determined the following:

1) If yaspot is running, it will cause pulseadio to use CPU. This is true even if you've not yet pressed the login button, or are not streaming music as your playlist has completed. Pulseaudio uses between 16 and 20% CPU load in this situation. Plugging in headphones reduces this to 3% as the "speaker equalizer" that had been discussed on TMO is no longer needed.

2) If yaspot is playing a stream, it uses approximately 20% of CPU, with pulseadio rising to 25-30% (10-15% with headphones). Oddly, bluetooth headphones seem to be about halfway between... While it would be nice if this could be reduced, music is a worthwhile use of electrons.

So if you value your battery, don't leave spotify running unless you're actively listening to music...

i'd be happy to listen to your wise advice if only my yaspot was working!!! :-(
