Customization / Re: Little bug in NBwidget

thanks mgrubert, will fix that straight away.

ps: fixed in shimmer-git.

Hi deric,
if you're using the artistinfo-plugin (or at least have it installed and enabled) you have that functionality. Simply go the the queue and choose "similar artists" from the available queue-modes.
Be aware though that it is limited by last.fm's definition/usage of artist-similarity.

You can easily tweak the plugin and its settings by looking at the "similar artists"-list inside the artistinfo-plugin and changing the similarity-limits in the plugin's settings.

Let me know how it works for you!

i'll upload a new version one of these days. in fact i wanted to wait for this to be resolved in git first.

@imaweasal: sidenote: i see you're using a dark theme. i recently started a white variant of the elementary-icon theme for gmusicbrowser. you can find it in the shimmer ppa (if you're using ubuntu) or in the shimmer github-repository.

thanks to both of you for catching and fixing the bug. i'm already uploading updated packages to the ppa, so you should get your fix very soon.

salut!
yeah, in fact you can simply change the URL. i didn't implement language settings because it would mean adding a fallback and that would complicate things a bit. the last time someone wanted this i didn't have enough free time to implement it.
adding a simple setting for changing the URL is easy, but without the fallback it's not very nice...

i can put it on my todo-list, if there are more people that want this feature i can move it up a few spots on the list ;)

Even though there isn't any indicator in the listview-headers (and I don't think it makes much sense putting any there) for the more complex sort-modes, I'm in favor of this triple-clicking of the headers.
It might not be intuitive in the first place, but I think it's one of those small things users will stumble across eventually and appreciate.

French / Re: C'est plutôt calme (+ questions)

sorry to reply in english in the french forum. as far as i know, it's not as easy to just copy files to an ipod, the problem is the creation of the respective entry into the itunes-library-database on the ipod.

even though this sounds trivial, the troubles start with differing versions of ipods/itunes-library-databases. so almost each version has a different variant of the database hash-algorithm, and the people at libimobiledevice have had an increasingly hard time keeping up with those changes.

so unfortunately ipod-support is far from trivial (even the mount process doesn't work in all DEs automagically) and - if you ask me - a can of worms. (even though as an ipod-touch user i'd love to have support for ipod-export in gmb - gtkpod's interface really sucks...)

unless of course someone would be committed enough to write perl-bindings for libimobiledevice.

yeah, i guess something like "profiles" for different media-players/mountpoints might make sense and probably wouldn't be too much work to implement (even though i have to say that i know very few people who own/use more than one mp3-player, but more people using the same pc are a possible use-case).

the artistinfo-plugin by default saves artists' biographies in ~/.config/gmusicbrowser/bio/%a, but you can change that in the plugin's settings page.

i guess you can look at the existing plugins as a starting point and try to modify them.

there is no real device-support in gmusicbrowser (yet), but i guess what you're talking about is the "export"-plugin.
that plugin mostly copies tracks to a given directory in a folder-structure/filename you can decide, but that's about it.

would you "simply" want to extend that plugin or do you want something different?
41
right. i thought you meant something like a global option to set the preferred queue-mode as default (not just for similar-artists).
i guess it's possible to implement something like trasdahl proposed.

quentin, what do you think?
42
salut (and sorry to reply in english even though we're in the french section, i can read/understand well, but my written french sucks...)

as far as i know this is a known bug in the xfce panel (v.4.8 ) and i think that it has been resolved in the latest version in git.
conclusion: it's not a gmusicbrowser-related bug, the same thing happens e.g. with claws-mail from time to time. one way to work around the problem should be to enable the "show frame" option in the notification-area plugin. (note: this problem mainly occurs with vertical panels.)
43
sorry for the late reply. this is an interesting point, because "remember queue between sessions" doesn't really take care of that.
i'm not sure it's really possible to set a default queue-mode at the moment.

Suggestions / Re: Ubuntu SoundMenu
September 03, 2011, 17:21:34
i recently thought about the soundmenu-implementation again when i stumbled upon claws-mail's notification plugin that also supports ubuntu's indicators: it has an option to hide the main window completely on minimize.

most people know this functionality as "close to tray". i was playing with this a bit today and a patch for the mpris2 plugin to support the close-to-tray function seems really easy to do (i have a working implementation here), so i'm wondering whether this could/should be added to gmb. the option could remain off by default, but for people who want more traditional trayicon-style behavior (and can't use a traditional trayicon because ubuntu is slowly removing that part of their panel) it could be valuable.

at the moment my implementation is close to tray, not minimize to tray. i'm wondering whether minimizing would make more sense, any opinions/experiences with that?
(personally i found it a bit difficult to get used to minimizing claws instead of closing it...)

well i assume you already have an older version of the plugin installed in /usr/share/gmusicbrowser/plugins, so it's possible that plugins in ~/ don't override that.

it'd be best to just update the plugin there i guess. (or if you try gmb from git you have the new version of the plugin anyway).
