Hi Quentin,
I just bought a new PC.I installed GMB 1.1.16 on Ubuntu Focal.
The plugin to fetch album covers works only for Bing and DuckDuckGo. Other (google, yahoo, slothradio) do not work.
Is there a way to update this plugin ?

Thanks for the answer. I certainly hope you can fix it since it seems X-Server's days are numbered and Wayland seems to be the future.
I haven't tried wayland yet, but it's quite possible that it requires changes for some things.
A *very* quick search turned up this: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland/-/issues/110 which seems to indicate that wayland doesn't want to let apps position its windows? I guess it will requires some searching to fix, if it's even possible.

Is anyone noticing display problems running Ubuntu 22.04 with Wayland? After upgrading from 20.04 using X-server, 22.04 using Wayland prevents me from using the "Screenlet" widget or any other widget on GMB 1.1.99.1. Wayland is the default compositor for Intel and AMD video on 22.04.
The specific issue: when I activate a GMB widget, I can't move it or resize it at all. It remains locked to an arbitrary position on the monitor and refuses all settings to move in the X and Y coordinates or to change size or fonts. I'm running on an Intel NUC "Skull Canyon" mini pc, so the video is fixed to "Intel". Rebooting to the X-Server version of 22.04 corrects the problem.
GMB hasn't been updated since 2020 so I don't know if the issue is primarily due to Wayland compositor or GMB being out of spec for 22.04. I'm also noticing similar problems with "Cairo-Dock" and a few other applications which worked fine under Ubuntu 20.04 but not 22.04.

It's weird. One possible difference when started on system boot is that some environment variables might be different, but I don't know why it would cause a crash.
If it still happens (sorry for answering so rarely and so late) maybe try to find the error, it may be logged in ~/.xsession-errors or maybe look for an error in /var/log/syslog.
Alternatively, if it is a problem with environment variables, you can look at them in /proc/PID/environ where PID is the pid of the process, add some line breaks and compare when started from boot and when not.

Hi,
I installed the latest version of GMB on LinuxMate 20.2 MATE.
GMB is automatically started on system boot.
When I right click on a song and do "Open folder", GMB quit.
But if I restart GMB, then the problem does not happens again.
I notice that this only happen if GMB start on system boo. If I start GMB manually after, the problem does not appear.
This is quite strange.
How can I know what is the source of this bug ?
Thank you for your help.

hi there,
this is a great player indeed, so many customizing options available!
just a couple of suggestions, hopefully to make this player even better.
1. Album artist is not scrobbled to last fm. This is particularly useful for Various Artists compilations.
2. auto-tagging using a web service, musicbrainz for example.
3. "Search for a picture in internet" has never returned me any image. i think there is room for making things better here.
4. Play count synchronization with last.fm
thanks a lot
peace!
George

MountainX couldn't post a reply because of a forum error so he posted his answer there : https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/t2e28b/how_to_copy_music_files_and_playlist_to_android/hym0jve/?context=3
Let's see if I can post this reply...

Thank you for this post, OP.
I am seeking to do the same thing, but syncing the playlist to my Android device. Does anyone know of an existing solution? Or do I need to create something like the OP did for his iPod?

(sorry for rarely coming around)
- for gtk3 version, slow loading of embedded pictures was a known bug. I fixed it a bit after the beta release thanks to Glib::Object::Introspection 0.049, but you need to use the git version AND have Glib::Object::Introspection >= 0.049.
- there is currently no caching of pictures on disk, in part because I rarely use a fixed picture size in gmb, even in mosaic there is a number of optional sizes, and I often thought about adding a custom size option in the submenu. So the caching would only be really useful for overly large pictures, or if the original is on a slow disk/network.
