Doesn't add new songs [SOLVED]

[cardiacanesthesia]

hi,
i changed my Distro to oneiric beta
installed gmb latest from andreas' repo
home folder is a different partition than root
and music is a different partition NTFS
left the .config and gmbrc  etc as such
but now, it is reading all the tags and playing songs nicely, but doesn't add a new folder when added
i checked add/ scan new folders on startup , but the newly added folders don't show up
i even tried to use a backup gmbrc but same problem persists
anything i did wrong?

the output for running gmusicbrowser in terminal is
GStreamer::Interfaces perl module not found -> visuals not available
No plugin found in /home/subodh/.config/gmusicbrowser/plugins/lastfm_pcget.pm, maybe it uses an old format

Are you running KDE ? someone reported a bug which prevent the idle tasks from running when using KDE, I still haven't managed to find the cause :(

[cardiacanesthesia]

No , I am using Gnome 3 with unity
i somehow managed to add the songs by changing layouts . i know it is not possible that way but somehow in a particular layout when i rescanned folders , it just worked
but now a new problem
sometimes the song starts playback, and by clicking next song button, the player just exits
and lastly it gave this error
Playing error : Failed to parse stream at /usr/bin/../share/gmusicbrowser/gmusicbrowser_gstreamer-0.10.pm line 135
have i not installed proper gstreamer codecs?

[Quentin Sculo]

about not adding songs, can you reproduce it by re-using the layout and do a few tests for me ?

About the rest, can you run it from a terminal to see what it says.
Is the "Failed to parse stream" error specific to one song, or just random ?

[cardiacanesthesia]

sorry for delayed response
i changed the default layouts for traytip and fullscreen.
it had some problems with shimmer traytip i guess due to GTK2
and after that things are running quite smoothly

and yes the problem of not adding is somehow related to layout, it does scan songs in my cardiacanesthesia layout and doesn't in the queue, library and context layout

so lastly, things are going pretty smooth
one more thing, while choosing filters for making a custom dynamic playlist, can you add a single selector for "any text field" in the metadata?
music in India is mostly contained to movie soundtracks, there are not many artist oriented private albums classified by genre and so on
one movie may host songs of 5 different genre sung by 4 different singers as solo and duets and written by another set of people
so it is very difficult to classify it with the usual music player categories.
so if i want to search for all tracks in which mr X is involved as a lyricist or composer or singer , i have to add three lines in filter
and if the search involves two more persons it becomes 9 different lines
had it been "any text field" contains "mr x" it would have been very easy to find.

sorry for long post
thanks for the help

About the not adding, can you try removing the "#" in front of the lines

Code Select Expand

#New => sub { Gtk2::HBox->new(::FALSE,0); },
and
#New => sub { Gtk2::VBox->new(::FALSE,0); },
in gmusicbrowser_layout.pm (around line 2105) (installed in /usr/share/gmusicbrowser/)
and see if it still have the problem ?

About searching in all text fields, I will think about it. One solution currently is to use the SimpleSearch widget to create the filter, you can select the default filters in the menu you get when clicking on the left icon, you can also search for things like :

Code Select Expand

artist|title|album:"some artist name"|"another name"
or simply by using the selected fields : 

Code Select Expand

"some artist name" | "another name"

you can then edit/save the filter by choosing "Advanced search..." in the left icon menu.

well , tried the first thing and it DID WORK.
thanks for that

secondly for now the idea of a pipe character is as good as selecting it like "any text field". i selected all options from the simple search box left click menu and then used pipe character for 2 different artists
this ROCKS

THANKS AGAIN
