Hmmm, seems more complicated than I thought...

Is this the right column?
HBSongListtree = _SongTree(cols="playandqueueandtrack title length ratingpic",colwidth="artist 124 lastplay 107 length 49 playandqueue 19 playandqueueandtrack 20 playcount 22 ratingpic 100 title 390 titleaa 397 track 21",grouping="album|artistalbum_breadcrumbs(picsize=100)|disc|discleft(width=15)",follow=1,sort="year album disc track") _VPSongPlaylist _FilterPane2(nb=3,hidebb=1,pages=album,page_album/mode=mosaic,page_album/mmarkup=1,page_album/mpicsize=96,hidetabs=1)

...and if so, where to enter the code?

Wow, Quentin! Thanks again! I'll try both options... :D

Thanks, found the fix on github now! Didn't get it, that You'd put it there  ???

Hi,

the title sounds maybe confusing, but to make it more clear I attached a screenshot:

What I look for is a way to prevent gmb from jumping to completely different music when finishing a track. So if I choose for example a genre (number 1) and the last track from the upper album is played, sometimes it can be quite a hard transition when the next track hasn't anything to do with the songs played before. In the case in the screenshot the next song after "Hindsight" won't be Ben Harper and Jack Johnson, but something starting with "AN" since "Hindsight" is from a band called "Anathema"

So, instead of making filters by hand, is there a possibility to make the main song list (number 3 on the picture) the actual filter?

After working flawlessly I noticed that I don't get any infos about the artists anymore. Also clicking on the refresh button shows only: "No Results"!

Here is the commandline output I get:

Any ideas? Did last.fm change their API?

I experienced the same behaviour and was about to ask for a way to fix this...

If You say it's difficult to move the other files as well, what about just renaming the whole folder? Still this could bedome messy when having "sub-trees", but , at least for me. that's hardly the case...

I appreciate the ideas of "disabling the auto-selection of pictures for unknown albums" and adding an option to use embedded cover art!

Suggestions / Re: Local events Plugin possible?

I just checked both plugin and it would take me at least a day to understand enough to combine those two in the proper way ???

Maybe someone with a bit more knowledge of the stuff could have a look? Guess it can be done it half an hour if one knows what to do...

But thanks for Your considerings so far!

Suggestions / Local events Plugin possible?
October 24, 2012, 16:34:01
Hi,

I just noticed today that I seldomly visit the last.fm page, but they show a list of possibly interesting concerts in my surroundings (last.fm/events)...

So my question:

Would someone like to make a plugin (or an addition to the existing last.fm plugin), to show these events in a tab or somehow to easily find out if there are any nice concerts in the near future?

Greetings, staubi

I will quickly join the discussion, as I had a similar topic with Quentin a while ago (though not publicly)...

Anyway, my main point is: things can change, but not necessarily!

I think:

  • the icons sooner or later have to be changed or updated, just to adapt to the higher resolutions. If it's just a scaled one or a new one depends mainly on the options! If someone makes a nice new icon and many people like it: why not change?

  • about the name: it's for sure more complicated but not impossible! Again people can suggest and when the perfect name appears, Quentin doesn't want to stick in any case so...
    I like the idea of keeping the lettercombination "gmb" but I also like the idea to play with "cameleon".

  • for the layout: I like the freedom and customizability of gmb. I don't think we should make a "one-fits-all" layout, but a very good standard layout is nice. Maybe it would be an option to have a "Show advanced settings" which needs to be used to show all the options we see now and otherwise only a few!?! (offtopic: wouldn't that be an option for the gnome-desktop? Somehow gmb doesn't fit into the gnome philosophy ;) )

We (I say "we" because we can all contribute and I translate gmb) don't need to please everyone. gmb will anyway be a player for people with special needs/wishes. Still things can be improved and Quentin is putting a lot of effort into listening to peoples wishes! Thanks once again!

Greetings, staubi

P.S.: By the way the namechange of Firefox was not to Iceweasel, but from Firebird!

I actually like both suggestions. I'm also a bit annoied by all the <unknown> enrties...

Suggestions / Re: fade out on stop or pause
October 24, 2012, 13:06:28
Is it also possible to add the fade out option to a layout without Stop button? Like shimmer layout toggling between Play and Pause Icon?

@ both of You:

Thanks for Your help! I don't know what I have done before, but I had this tab for a long time, then one day it disappeared (I think when upgrading to some 1.1.x) I erased the config-files and it came back...
This time (when upgrading to 1.1.9) it disappeared again, but even deleting the config did not help anymore...

But now, thanks to Quentins description it's there again ;) Thanks a lot! I miss quite often the overview of what is new, so this tab helps me to find it! For me it works much better than the normal filter in the lower left side!

Again and again: I really appreciate the gmusicbrowser! Thanks to everyone involved in the development!

Hi Quentin,

I think my description was not so clear, so I'll try it with a picture (unfortunately I don't have one with the tab I'm looking for)

Hi,

after moving to latest version (1.1.9) once again a very useful tab inside shimmer-Layout got lost:

Amidst playlist-, queue- and artistinfotab there was kind of a "universal" tab, which started as an artist tab (where one could scroll through the artists), but with the possibility to extend it with further subtabs, like "date added" or genre in cloud mode...

Since it dissappeared already several times, I'd like a way to restore it, without erasing the configuration folder!

Greetz, staubi
