Hi all. Long time no post. Been off linux for a few years (due to games etc...) but now returning.

One large hurdle for me is a musicplayer layout which is useful to me. Nothing comes as close as GmusicBrowser, and that's still pretty far from what i'm very comfortable with in MusicBee, as seen here: https://imgur.com/a/9vgPJ

I'm looking to get a layout as close as possible to that, if not exactly.
I know i could run MB via wine, but that seems to defeat the point of switching back to linux. Why bother if i'm just going to run apps through wine?

Help appreciated. It's odd, i know, but this is the last major hurdle to a return to linux for me.

Ahoy all. Long time. Just switched back to Linux full time.

Much as the title say: I can't import a .m3u playlist in to GMB. Have tried RC on saved list > select file. Nothing imports.
I've got 2 versions of my playlists: One with original windows path formatting, and the other with Linux path formatting. Neither will import.

Is there any way i can fix this? I'd rather not manually input about 1000 ratings.

I thought so, too. Turns out you can't.

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone knows of a quick way to change the attached album art in all selected music/whole library to 'front cover'?
Almost all my music has album art attached, but it would seem a large number of files have that cover art either set to 'back cover' or a setting other than 'front cover'.

I'm hoping there's an easy way to fix this as the mass tag editor doesn't seem to offer a solution that i can see.

Any help appreciated.

[/usr/share/gmusicbrowser/gmusicbrowser_list.pm]

remove the line "if ($self->{type} eq 'A') { $self->{array}->SetFilter($filter); return }"  in gmusicbrowser_list.pm

This worked perfectly :) Thanks Quentin.

For anyone arriving here via a search or google; The file is located at: /usr/share/gmusicbrowser/gmusicbrowser_list.pm

Can you send me your gmbrc by email ?
My guess would be the filter is added automatically to the selected filter, something like the "lockfilter" widget, except in its case it is not saved, so shouldn't happen on startup.

Odd. Just went through my filters and all seems normal. No extra condition for a time limit.

I don't see error, but it seems all your filters include "added:<ago:1h" which means songs added less than 1 hour ago, is that normal ?

Interesting.
That's not normal, no. Only one of my filters has that condition, and none of them have been manually changed in quite some time.
It would seem that -somehow- filter conditions have changed without my input.

I'll have a go at sorting out the filters to see if that works.

Can you show me the output with the option -debug (and no -backtrace, -debug is messy enough) ?
(btw a small explanation about -backtrace , it only shows a backtrace for each of the various warnings, if none of the existing warnings are relevant to the problem, -backtrace doesn't help)

Hi all.

Slight problem:
None of my previously functional filters and playlists work.
No idea why.

I ran a backtrace for those that know about this sort of thing.

While waiting for an update you can simply remove this line in  /usr/bin/gmusicbrowser  (should be line 1940 in your version) :

Code Select Expand

Songs::AddMissing( Songs::AllFilter('missing:-e:0') );
It will only prevent songs that were recently removed to recover their non-tag properties if you add them back

Awesome! That fixed it :D
Again; This is one of the main reasons i love GMB: Great support from the developer.

Thanks so much, Quentin.

That was fast :)

I have no idea what to do with that, so i'll just wait for the update.

Well, at least i know it's not something i've done.
That's a start :)

As requested, the terminal output with the option of -backtrace:

Hi all,

Earlier today, GMB began refusing to start with my existing config settings (.config/gmusicbrowser) - It starts just fine with a new profile.

Terminal outputs the following error:

Code Select Expand

$ gmusicbrowser
print() on closed filehandle $fifofh at /usr/bin/gmusicbrowser line 291.
GStreamer::Interfaces perl module not found -> visuals not available
Reading saved tags in /home/USER/.config/gmusicbrowser/gmbrc ...
Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at /usr/bin/gmusicbrowser line 611.

If anyone knows what i need to do to rescue my profile (and the almost 1000 faved tracks etc) i'd really appreciate it.

Running:
Linux mint 11 x86 pae
shimmer ppa
GMB v1.1.8

Thanks!

That fixed it. And this time, i've saved it in my DropBox folder so that i won't lose it again :)
