 Posted: Sat Aug 13, 2005 2:14 pm Post subject: new mpd client with rhytmbox-like interface ... |
 |
|
it's something i was searching for long ....
http://pympd.sourceforge.net/
it's too early for including this into portage .... heh ... at least not till they release first release 
for those who wan't to try it out ...
pympd-cvs-9999.ebuild
| Code: |
# Copyright 1999-2005 Gentoo Foundation
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
# $Header: $
inherit cvs distutils
DESCRIPTION="Pympd"
HOMEPAGE="http://sourceforge.net/projects/pympd"
LICENSE="GPL"
KEYWORDS="~x86"
ECVS_SERVER="cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/pympd"
ECVS_MODULE="pympd"
ECVS_LOCALNAME="pympd-cvs"
S="${WORKDIR}/${ECVS_LOCALNAME}"
IUSE="gnome"
RDEPEND="virtual/python
>=dev-python/pygtk-2
gnome?(dev-python/gnome-python-extras)"
src_install() {
python setup.py install --root=${D} --prefix=/usr || die
! use gnome && cd ${D} && find -iname trayicon.py | xargs rm
}
|
gnome use flag enables installing of systray icon plugin ....
it doesn't really need all of gnome-python-extras dependancies like gnome-panel,gst ... it;s a pity that in gentoo thay all are in ${DEPEND} or ${RDEPEND} ... those are not really necessary ...
as for me i've installed this with
| Code: | | emerge -1O gnome-python-extras |
command ...

| This looks like really promising stuff! I'm sure a lot of people will be keen for this one, as long as the dependancies stay low. |

mkdir /usr/local/portage/media-sound/pympd-cvs
nano -w /usr/local/portage/media-sound/pympd-cvs/pympd-cvs-9999.ebuild
# put the code in the ebuild, use your favorite text editor
ebuild /usr/local/portage/media-sound/pympd-cvs/pympd-cvs-9999.ebuild digest
echo "media-sound/pympd-cvs ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

So far it seems pretty nice, haven't had any stability issues thus far and interface is pretty nice. One thing I have noticed though is the lack of a stop button, you can only pause/play the track. Also if I say pause the song in pympd, then stop it with mpc after, pympd still thinks the song is pause and doesn't register the mpd state change so you need to restart the client for it to register.

as i was told by it's creator

(16:01:11) theli_ua: is python-2.4 really required?
(16:01:30) whatah: it would be preferable, on python 2.3 it freezes sometimes
(16:01:3 theli_ua: can you look at http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=2665400#2665400
(16:01:3 theli_ua: there guy have some problems ....
(16:01:42) theli_ua: a bug?
(16:01:50) whatah: and if users use python 2.3 with it, they will claim pympd is buggy
(16:01:52) whatah: which it really isn't
(16:02:10) theli_ua: ok... i'l make it dependant on >=python-2.4
(16:02:12) whatah: oh yes.
(16:02:16) whatah: you need python 2.4 to install it
(16:02:21) whatah: please reply to him
(16:02:26) theli_ua: ok
(16:02:39) whatah: in python 2.3 distutils, the option in setup.py called 'package_data' is not available.
(16:02:4 whatah: so when it installs, it doesn't install properly
(16:03:10) whatah: and it leaves out src/glade and src/plugins (as they are listed as package data)
(16:03:25) theli_ua: oh... yeah - that's the problem
|
so .... it just depends on python-2.4
and ....
| Quote: | | (16:11:13) whatah: ok, well, if you reply to the thread, let them know that i fixed the bugs mentioned. |

Ok here's a couple things I have noticed.
1) When you stop it does not register the change switches the button back to "play" instead of remaining in the paused state, but the rest of the display doesn't reflect that mpd has been stopped. The Artist/Song parts still list the name and the progress bar doesn't reset. It show return to how it appears if i stop mpd and then load pympd.
2) If I start it stopped and then go to play a song, the display doesn't get updated. The progress bar begins to slide along but it still says mpd is "stopped" and doesn't list the track info.
