Just a thought:

When I use the "folder" tab from filter pane I have to expand quite many folders before I get to the "important" ones. Example:

Music is in: /run/media/user/ExternalStorage/Music and /home/user/Music

so I have to expand 5 (3) folders before I get to the first folder containing music! What about hiding all folders before the ones containing actual files?

Hi,

I just noticed that I have a couple of songs with artist tag "Artist A VS ARTIST B".

Think it might be handy to add it to the list of separators ;)

Since the latest update gmb is supposed to use gstreamer 1.0 but it seems it still uses gstreamer 0.10, without the option to change this...  (see screenshot)

I have glib2, glib-perl and perl-gstreamer installed.

Any ideas?

I just discovered a really annoying thing:

When I skip a song gmb doesn't play any more songs until I restart it! I can still play sounds with other programs though....


I use gstreamer (0.10.36-4) for playback!

I don't skip songs that often since I usually create playlists with what I want to hear, but still...

Any ideas?

Hi, I realized a while ago that newly added music has a default rating of 0% even though in settings the default rating is set to 50%.

What I do right now is to manually set it after having added new tracks, but that's somehow annoying.

Any idea on what might be the problem?

I tried to make my own layouta and started by modifying the shimmer layout. First everything worked well, but then suddenly (I don't know what changed exactly before it started) the button in the bottom (to select the behaviour of the queue, like "wait for more", "stop when empty", "auto-fill", etc.) disappeared.

Here's a picture of the buttons I'm talking about:

(it's in german but I just offers the options listed above ;)

...and here is the code from my layout:

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?

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

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

Hi Quentin, just had the idea in mind for quite a while, but I think an adjustment of the rating like ex.
every time a song is heard: +1
every time it's skipped -1

Cause I think most of us don't spent the time to manually rate a couple of thousand songs, do we?

Greetings, staubi

I'm about to update the german translations of gmusicbrowser (1.1.4) so anyone using this version (and understanding the german language) is very welcome to try the attached translation and make suggestions for untranslated terms or better solutions for already translated words ;)


To use the attached file:

Code Select Expand

put gmusicbrowser.mo either in /usr/share/locale/$LANGUAGE/LC_MESSAGES for installed version
    or in locale/$LANGUAGE/LC_MESSAGES/ for non-installed version

@Quentin:
There's a couple of thinks I can't find in the program, which are not clear to me without context:
125: Auto-increment track numbers
144: Can't create sink '{sink}' #what's the sink??
562: Reference point : #where is it?
815: argument {n} :
891: half-life
998: only show entries with at least n songs #maybe a '%' missing in front of n? Can't find it..
1076: use standard strftime variables
1095 & 1096 x/y offset

So that's it for the moment!
Greetings staubi
