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.

Code: Select all

EDIT: keyword: filter

you mean, to set it so in e.g. "==>──" "==>" would have other color than "──"?

avx wrote: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 |

it would look ugly imho. also tbh, I'm too lazy to implement it

can't reproduce, backtrace please.

read lines 213-222 in example config file (the newest one), please.

main_window_color defines it. if you'd like, you could write a patch that will allow it to be defined by other config option, it's fairly easy.

Exactly( I'd like to have a white progressbar with an green indicator).

Well, I'd use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-drawing_characters - btw, would be nice to be able to configure all chars used in the progressbar without the need to hack the source directly

Thanks, will check it out.

Is there a way to quickly disable the filter?

Also, is there a way to make the playlist follow currently playing song? Without pressing "o".

Ctrl+F, Ctrl+U, Enter (not so quick though).

Shift+U

avx, you need to compile ncmpcpp with debug symbols, without them the backtrace is useless.

avx, you need to compile ncmpcpp with debug symbols

How so?

add -ggdb to CFLAGS and make sure you don't have -fomit-frame-pointer in your CFLAGS either. -O0 can also help.

avx · Post by **avx** » Mon Jul 05, 2010 6:27 pm

Mh, did that and emptied the caches, still I don't get more info out of it. Do I need to compile something else then ncmpcpp with these settings?

Make sure to `make clean` first. That should be enough to get ncmpcpp built with debug symbols.

Are you building ncmpcpp with portage, or are you doing it be hand? If you're using portage make sure you have ``nostrip'' set in FEATURES in /etc/make.conf.

avx · Post by **avx** » Mon Jul 05, 2010 7:16 pm

I'm using portage, but even with 'nostrip', it doesn't give more info?!

I built it with:

CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=native -mtune=native -mfpmath=sse -msse4 -O0 -ggdb -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
LDFLAGS="-Wl,--hash-style=both -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--sort-common -s"

FEATURES="nostrip buildpkg collision-protect metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv usersandbox usersync"
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--jobs=4 --keep-going --nospinner --quiet-build --with-bdeps=y"

Anything wrong with that?

dreadlorde · Post by **dreadlorde** » Mon Jul 05, 2010 7:32 pm

Try with your CFLAGS set to

Code: Select all

-O0 -ggdb -pipe

I'm not sure if the sse flags would do anything to prevent relative debug information.

unK · Post by **unK** » Mon Jul 05, 2010 7:33 pm

Yes. You have -s in your LDFLAGS, which strips debug info from binaries. Remove it, it's useless as portage does it automatically unless you have 'nostrip' in FEATURES.

Ok, now I'm getting something which seems a bit more relevant:

Satoshi · Post by **Satoshi** » Mon Jul 05, 2010 8:51 pm

Okay, me again.

Is there a way to change default name of the lyrics file it searches for and saves to disk?

I have been using Gmusicbrowser and saved all my lyrics in ~/.lyrics/%Artist/%Song.lyric

It'd be nice to be able to use those. Also, new lyrics downloaded by ncmpcpp could be used by gmb.

And just out of curiosity: what does ncmpcpp stand for? I AlWAYS get it wrong.

Hey, unK, what about the lyrics thing I mentioned earlier?

Is there a way to change the default file it saves to/looks for? I've got hundreds of already-downloaded lyrics, and I'd like to use them (specially considering my internet is quite unstable and I hate listening to music without lyrics).

I was going to post this on the bug tracker, but I figure it's more of a question than anything else. Anyway, I would like to use www.darklyrics.com as a lyrics source. Is there a way to add new databases or does it require changes to the client itself?

Thanks

angry_vincent · Post by **angry_vincent** » Sat Oct 16, 2010 4:51 pm

Whenever I trying to clear playlist (with "c") or press F1, F2, F3 buttons, ncmpcpp immediately freezes and using 100% of CPU ncmpcpp-0.5.5, ~amd64, default config.

angry_vincent · Post by **angry_vincent** » Wed Oct 20, 2010 4:24 pm

found the problem. it's screen issue. if i working in normal console without any terminal multiplexers, it's ok.

Hello! I was about to ask the very same question, is there any way to configure it? or this possibility is just not in ncmpcpp?

thanks!

unK · Post by **unK** » Wed Oct 20, 2010 7:32 pm

Nah, but since 0.5.5 you can save them in song's directory instead of ~/.lyrics.

The feature you're talking about it quite easy to implement though, so you can try to do so and send me a patch.

The problem with darklyrics.com is that they display lyrics for whole album at one page, which makes ripping out proper lyrics impossible (unless I'm missing something, but brief analysis of page's source didn't reveal anything helpful).

EDIT: Oh, well, apparently identifying proper lyrics can be done using track number.
