locale not working Subject description: Pmusic interface remains English |
|
Pmusic 2.6.3 working fine. The only bug is the GUI remains English despite default system language being Spanish. I'm translating the latest Pmusic and I can't see the translations on the GUI. I tried restarting X and rebooting, no changes. I have a Wary 5.3 frugal install to USB key, UTF-8 turned on.
BTW, I like the new choice for saving geometry, makes it more comfortable.

Hi Sigmund
I should learn to read code
I see your intention in the pinstall.sh and what I reference was wrong. It may even break stuff in a current running system, though will more likely just error and not run.
The stuff you intend to happen in woof can't because $HOME is not defined. Until woof supports multiuser the only way is either hard code to root or not have that routine. Also /tmp don't exist until the system is up and running. I just glanced at $HOME and didn't read the code knowing in my head $HOME can't exist in the build system. Sorry!
Maybe you could hide your code elsewhere and make it part of the pmusic initial code generation? That would work.
Cheers

Good luck

Hi Sigmund, I have recently been using earlier versions of Pmusic to play and rip music, but have been unable to find a way to get it to play an entire folder. Is there an easy way to add a whole folder to the playlist? And does this function only exist in more recent versions? (I think it was version 1.63 I was trying...). Thanks

Browse (with the internal browser) to the folder of your liking, and choose 'Add all' from the Music-Source menu.

I tried this (took me a while because I did not realise initially that the browsing is "single-click" not double ) but it seems that it is necessary to go into the deepest folder and add the tracks just from that folder, instead of being able to add a group of folders. Am I using this wrong, or is this a normal limitation?
I would like to be able to add my entire "Music" folder to the playlist (and then select "random play", but I don't want to have to go into each folder one by one to add them to the playlist. Hope you can understand what I am trying to explain.

I fully understand you (I hope )
It seems you are used to another kind of audio players that uses the playlist as its music storage - Like Winamp. Pmusic on the other hand is not clever with huge playlists. Instead it want you to work in the Music-source field which is built to handle enormous music collections. What is one of Pmusic strengths is that the Playlist(s) integrates well with other tools like copy/convert/rip/burn/masstag. With this in mind, the playlist (in Pmusic) is not the place to dump stuff, but the place to collect the tracks you actually want to act on; and acting of course includes playing....
Here follows 3 quests from the Pmusic FAQ
When I dump all my thousands of songs into a playlist, Pmusic becomes real slow?
Yes, depending on your CPU, Pmusic starts to become slow after adding some hundreds songs. But there is a solution. Please keep in mind a typical 150 song playlist is probably a 8+ hour long session. If your collection is larger than that, I recommend you to index the music files. It is a much faster way of selecting your songs to play. See next question for more information.
Why should I index my music?
There is no need of indexing your audio files. Pmusic has a builtin file-browser where you can find your music and add it to the playlist. This works perfectly for small music collections. If you on the other hand experience that it's hard to navigate through your huge collection, it's time to consider indexing.
You might think that 'indexing' sounds advanced, - but it's not. it is only a table holding information about all your songs and albums. This makes it easy to sort your music by artist, album, song name.... Also, Pmusic lists 20000 songs from your index in a blink of an eye. Open a directory with the same amount of files, you can drink a cup of coffee while waiting. While building the table (the index), Pmusic scans your system for audio files. It is possible to run various filters during this scan. ie. 'files in the same directory belongs together, and should be put in a new album'. Pmusic offers some simple filters depending on your collection structure.
But the biggest advantage of an index is its speed when searching for a song. Pmusic searches so fast that the search result shows up while typing. The downside is that the index must be refreshed after adding more music to your collection.
So if you have a large library, indexing is the way to go. Because of the search speed, you can create a playlist "session" to suit your needs of the moment quite quickly. When you have a playlist the way you want it, you can always save it for reuse later.
But hey, since I can't put my entire collection into the playlist, how can I play a random song?
In Pmusic you have to first 'Add random songs' from the music-source (browser) field into the playlist, - then play. You can define how many songs you want to pick randomly from the list of your music sources.
This way gives an improved random feature... Because Pmusic picks random tracks only from the shown list in the music-source field, you can finetune the random feature. Ie. First search for TNT, and then pick 10 random TNT-songs.

I see that it should offer a 'recursive' checkbox for 'Add random'. Added to todo list.
This could be valid for 'Add all', but I really don't want users to do this... because Pmusic probably becomes a bad experience.

Hello Sigmund,
I have installed Pmusic 2.6.3 in Slacko 5.3.3 and Lupu Plus 5.2.8-005 on another computer but I can't see the "Stop" function in the "Track" menu.
I can see a line in the file /usr/local/pmusic/gui_menu
Is there something else I need to do?
Many thanks for all the hard work.

I wonder how you made it?
in /root/.pmusic/tmp/, there is some xml files which is the gui-code. These should be removed during version check in /usr/local/pmusic/pmusic line 45. In fact all temporary files are removed, but to get a fresh gui-build the xml-files has to go.
Another way is to change frontend in the view-menu. That will also remove old xml-files.
The xml-files is stored for next run to make the startup time faster.
Sigmund

Sigmund,
I just cliked on the .pet on page 1.
I had installed 2.6.2 a few days previously and I uninstalled that in PPM before installing 2.6.3 (thinking it would just roll back to the original 2.5.3 and I didn't need the extra entry in the list of installed programs)
Maybe I should not have done this.

Thank you

Thanks. I have another question, where's the locale file for Pmusic 2.6.3, since you no longer have a 'locales' folder in this version? I'm using the file from 2.6.2 and I can't find a couple of strings, for example 'Quit and save geometry'.

Please look for /usr/local/pmusic/locales or the symlink in /usr/share/locales/en/LC_MESSAGES/pmusic
