gmusicbrowser Forum

I am working on a theme for GMB to work on PinePhone Mobian. So far it's working pretty well, but double-clicking doesn't work well on a touchscreen device. Mobian will probably create a universal fix, at some point, but for now, is there a way to set it so the track activates on single-click, not double?

Quentin, thanks for the quick reply. Sorry, I did not get a notification that you replied. Do you want me to save a playlist, then go into gmbrc file and find it, then paste it the way it's represented in that file?

Hi,

I had the same problem with Linux Mint.  I solved it using the wait for more option of the queue.  This option is in the left-hand column just below the Queue area and above the cover one in my layout.  Other options include normal, autofill, similar-artists...  See the attached file.

Best regards,

Hello,
Since this player is designed for large collections, would it be possible to add a function allowing to check for the existence of duplicated cds/albums in the database ?
Thank you for your remarkable player.

Hi,

Using GNU/Linux and Arch based distro, I have been using gmusicbrowser some time ago.
It looks like development has started again so I was happy to use it again.
So I installed latest version available from the Arch repos but I am facing a non impeding problem, but an irritating one :-(

At each relaunch of gmusicbrowser, it looks like all the tracks added to the library are automatically added to the playlist. So if I want to listen to just one album, I have to stop music after the last track of the album or it will proceed playing the next available track.

This is somewhat irritating and the same happenend in Lollypop...
They commited to solve it.
Hope this is not a feature that one cannot get rid of :-(

Regards.

FRED

There is no easy (via gui) way to do it, but you can either edit the gmbrc file with a script, each song is one line, fields are tab separated, dates are in unix time (seconds since epoch). Otherwise I can give you a command-line that sets the date for a song, still needs a script though.
If you don't know how to make the script I can help you, just give me an example of your playlist that contains the dates.

Other software might look at some alternative tags maybe, can you send me some examples (squentin gmail.com) ? I'll take a look.

I migrated to gmusicbrowser in 2017. Before that, I used Songbird, since about 2013. From 2013 to 2017, I have playlists indicating what month a song was added. However, gmusicbrowser shows them all as being added in January 2017.

My question is whether I can trick gmusicbrowser into thinking these songs were added before they actually were. This would make it easier for me to use smart playlists and weighted random.

Any idea why composer/conductor tag fields are empty in gmb although they show up in quodlibet or in wine/foobar2000?
This problem occures with mp3, flac, alac, dsd.
Conductor is empty in most cases , some composers show up, even in a compilation album with more composers i would see one but not the others.
I use Arch Linux with gmusicbrowser-git 1.1.99.1.r32.g8f84c7c-2

Evening Quentin,

I was using 123, and as I saw you reply I tried gstreamer. Using gstreamer solved the issue.

Thanks a lot for you help!
