Just checked out the latest git...loving it. The "new", "simple" search feature is perfect. You're da man!
Thanks a lot.

Browser screen only allows me to sort songs per album per artist (or playlists) by modification times. I want to sort all songs in mpd database regardless of artist / album by modification time. I'm I missing a step somewhere?

Ah. That won't work in media library though. I could add this feature in search engine, if you want.

Thanks for the new release. Small problem: I have

Code: Select all

song_columns_list_format = "(35){a} (53){t} (6f){l}"

which displays Artist / Title / Time in the playlist window. But for 0.5.1, the Time header is there, but no song time shows up in the Time column. The only changes I made to my 0.5 config were:

Code: Select all

screen_switcher_mode       = "sequence: 2 -> 5"
startup_screen             = "2"
media_library_display_date            = "yes"
media_library_disable_two_column_mode = "yes"
search_engine_default_search_mode     = "2"

Did a diff of the 0.5 and 0.5.1 config files. Didn't see anything thing new that should effect this.

Argh, why such bugs occur always after release...

Fixed in git. I'll probably release 0.5.2 in a few days since that's quite serious.

I just noticed the random album support, thanks a lot!

Hi unk,

One small problem, in the Outputs screen: I can toggle an output's state on/off but only once. After that it can't be changed (unless I quit and reopen ncmpcpp or open another instance). Also, the message appears at the bottom of the screen ("Output xxx enabled/disabled") but the change is not reflected on the item (it does not get highlighted when enabled, for instance).

unK · Post by **unK** » Fri Apr 09, 2010 6:17 pm

that's strange since ncmpcpp displays message about enabling/disabling only if it received ack from mpd. what mpd version do you use?

Master of the Darkside · Fri Apr 09, 2010 6:32 pm

I am using mpd-0.15.8

ncmpcpp-0.5.4 released.

changes:

new feature: toggle bitrate visibility at runtime
new feature: locate song in tag editor
new feature: separators between albums in playlist
new feature: customizable columns' names
new feature: support for multiple tag types in one column
media library: support for "All tracks" option in middlle column
playlist: shorten units' names displayed in statusbar
browser: critical bugfix in feature "remove directory physically from hdd"
a few other bugfixes

enjoy.

@Master of the Darkside, I think 0.5.4 should fix your issue since similar one was addressed in [bug=316601]bug 316601[/bug] and it's already fixed.

I'm having problems with .cue files, whenever I try to add one to the playlist, ncmpcpp segfaults. Here is a backtrace (for some reason I can't copy/paste it). http://omploader.org/vNG90Mw

And this how I configured ncmpcpp

Code: Select all

 CFLAGS="-O0 -ggdb -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-O0 -ggdb -pipe" ./configure --enable-outputs --enable-clock --enable-unicode --with-curl --with-gnu-ld --with-fftw --with-threads --enable-static --disable-shared --without-taglib --without-pic

Try current git, it should be fixed. Btw, if you want to copy something from terminal if mouse support is enabled, you need to hold shift.

That was from git. :X I'm also using mpd from git.

unK · Post by **unK** » Sat Jun 19, 2010 10:38 pm

Yes, it was from git, but not *current* git, since I pushed a fix (or at least I think that's the fix) for your issue.

I see. Now I get a message that says 'access denied'. The file is readable (-rw-r--r--).

that's not ncmpcpp's problem unless you can load this playlist using other client. my guess is that this is because you're connected to mpd via tcp/ip, not unix socket.

Either I didn't find it or it's not possible, yet. Would be nice, if I could give the progress-indicator (=#) a different color from the progressbar itself. Thanks

Edit, come to think of it, what about vertical aligned indicators for progress and volume - optional of course? Thus something like this

|
| title 1 |
| title 2 +
| title 3 |
+ tile 4 |
| title 5 |

Edit2, reproducable segfault when pressing the predefined "\" - on my german keyboard that would be alt_gr+?

Master of the Darkside · Fri Jul 02, 2010 7:53 am

One little request: I've noticed that in the latest ncmpcpp, for files with no tags all fields are shown as <empty>. Maybe in this case showing the filename as title would be more appropriate?

avx · Post by **avx** » Fri Jul 02, 2010 3:25 pm

How do I change the color of the visualizer(wave in my case)? I replaced all occurances of "yellow", still it's yellow.

Satoshi · Post by **Satoshi** » Sun Jul 04, 2010 5:25 am

Maybe I missed something, but is there a way to search my media library (or playlist, to me they are always the same) quickly? Like, just write whatever and it will show everything with whatever?

I find the search screen to be much too cumbersome. Something like / and ? but without the directional orientation and producing a list of matches instead of just jumping to the closest one.
