gmusicbrowser Forum

I am trying to hide and show gmusicbrowser with a custom hotkey, which all together works, however it does not always open "in front" of other applications. So the theory was to use xdotool to sniff out the window and bring it in the front. I've done this in the past with `xdotool search -class "XXX"` however as my gmusic only has the song name in the title bar I cannot search for it. I have tried to check via the pid, but it returns many many windows :D

xdotool search --pid 4785

58831293
58829756
58850763
58720263
58720291

So I think the easiest way would be to include gmusicbrowser in the title bar.

Bonjour,
J'ai eu le même problème puisque ma musique est sur un NAS. Il suffit de monter les dossiers du NAS dans le fstab. Pour moi, ils apparaissent directement dans MNT et donc accessibles depuis gmicbrowser.
Bonne écoute...

you can also set Album Artist, this works for me

I would love a "fix" for this, as odd as it might sound. Its mildly annoying and something I feel every time I reboot the machine.

Maybe you could search your deleted files with "photorec". It will take lot of time but it is really efficient.

Hi everybody.

Nice to keep enjoying this great player since some years now...

Recently I happened to delete by mistake a full directory of albums from my disk. Next time I opened gMusicBrowser, all those albums were removed, no doubt.

I'd like to recover those albums, but I don't know which were (no trace at my disk!). I was wondering if gMusicBrowser keeps a play history (I guess it does) at its database, and how could I take a look at it so I can search for the names of all those deleted albums, for I remember the name of the cointaining folder (they were stylistically organized).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much in advance.

Hello,

I try to update lyrics.pm

I should replace the escape in title by a "-" to work.

Could you help me ? (I don't know _[0] etc...)

genius => [genius => sub { ::ReplaceFields($_[0], "https://genius.com/%a-%t-lyrics", sub { my $s=::url_escapeall($_[0]); $s=~s/%20/-/g; $s }) }, undef,
sub {
                            if ($_[0] =~ m/<span class="lyrics__content__\w+">/) {
                                $_[0] =~ s/.*<span class="lyrics__content__\w+">(.+?)<\/span>.*/$1/s;
                                $_[0] =~ s/[\r\n]/<br>/g;
return 1;
                            } else {
$_[0] = $notfound;
return 0;
                            }
                        }], 


Alright, I fixed the mpris problem. Here's how:

• Install gmusicbrowser_1.1.99.1+1516;
• Go to /usr/share/gmusicbrowser/plugins, and copy mpris2.pm into a temp directory;
• Downgrade to gmusicbrowser_1.1.99.1+1514;
• copy mpris2.pm from your temp directory into /usr/share/gmusicbrowser/plugins, overwriting the version that's there.

Now, I have all my covers showing, and they show in the indicator (so on my phone, the lock screen and pull down menu).

I realized this same problem was happening on my other desktop computer, and I finally figured it out: the deb linked from the gmusicbrowser website, gmusicbrowser_1.1.99.1_all.deb, installs this version: gmusicbrowser_1.1.99.1+1514; when I add the nightly PPA, it installs gmusicbrowser_1.1.99.1+1516. This newer version causes a lot of my cover art not to load. I have no idea why.

After downgrading gmusicbrowser on my device, I now see all the album covers, which is great. However, now, half the covers won't load on the lock screen, or the pulldown menu. So there's something going wrong with MPRIS.

I also noticed that on deskop, the 'now playing' cover is wrong no matter what version of gmusicbrowser I'm usung. I can even look in the gmusicbrowser config directory and see that the 'now playing' mpris jpeg is correct, but the indicator stays stuck on the first song that was playing when the program started. On my phone, it does change, but it's just  missing image thumbnail half the time.

I had the same problem, after updating to LM22 (desktop) and kubuntu (laptop).
My solution to get the icons back is to change the symbol theme from "Standard" to the downloaded theme "Color", but other themes work fine too.
Just an other hint: With the layout AlexC base/compact the Album takes more than half of the screen.
My solution was to replace in AlexC.layout file "HBcenterup = _Cover" by "HBcenterup = Cover".
