pMusic 6.0.0

[zigbert]

2) I would like to make the Nad theme my default. I tried to do this by changing the "export THEME" setting in /usr/local/pmusic/pmusicrc to Nad, but this does not seem to work - it still starts up as gtk. (even though Nad is definitely loaded and available in preferences).

Nad5 it is (The name of the theme directory)

[greengeek]

Thanks. Nad5 now working as default
The $BROWSERDIR change did not work for me though - still displays contents of /root.
I did rush this test though so may have made a mistake. Will try again later
cheers!

[zigbert]

Remember you have to change the path in pmusicrc as well:
export BROWSERDIR="/"

[greengeek]

Thanks Zigbert. Yes, that is working exactly as I would like now. Much appreciated!

I made myself a pet with these modifications which I will post here so I can grab it on my next boot if that is ok.

[greengeek]

Now I'm just going to be a right pain and make another feature suggestion:

When I use the internal filebrowser and rightclick my music directory in order to "add to play queue" it adds all of the loose tracks that are in there, but does not add any of the tracks that are inside other directories inside the "Music" directory.

Is there some way to add an extra option to that rightclick menu: "Recursive add to play queue" ?

This would probably slow it down if there were too many extra directories, but it would be a nice option to have if it was possible.

Otherwise I'm going to have to learn how to make playlists

[zigbert]

Is there some way to add an extra option to that rightclick menu: "Recursive add to play queue" ?

Shouldn't be too hard, but I need some days as it is not too much coding-time these days...

It is great to get some feedback from you that are using pMusic differently than myself. I never browse for music, so it is hard for me to decide how this should be coded.


Thank you
Sigmund

Many thanks Zigbert - that really makes pMusic very useable for the relatively inexperienced Puppy users I look after. If anyone else wants it I have added the Nad5 theme into a modified 4.4.8 pet and also set the default browser location to "/" (filesystem) rather than "/root" - download here

Request: pmusic should open a pls file made by Audacious.

VLC player would open it correctly in April64 distro. (I checked )
pmusic would show the name of song but wouldn't play.

Unfortunately m3u playlists are treated as ordinary basic text so
I don't want to make my script create-m3u open it up.

However I have found that pls playlists open as .audio_x-scpls
so I can make a right click script to open these playlists quite easily.

[zigbert]

Can you post an example of such a pls file here?

[don570]

You're in luck! I happen to have a playlist.

To make a playlist in Audacious --->

Menu command , then the user must supply the extension --> pls

Code: Select all

[playlist]
NumberOfEntries=1
File1=/root/puppy-reference/audio/ivy.mp3

A wikipedia entry has a good explanation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PLS_%28fil ... 9#Examples

Note that in April64 a m3u and a pls file is treated differently by operating system.
(see image)

m3u is treated as basic text whereas right-clicks on the pls file opens it as
.audio_x-scpls

[don570]

Maybe my m3u file is treated as basic text because I didn't start it with...

Code: Select all

[playlist]
...

I'll have to test.

It would open up as .audio_x-scm3u

I'll have to check this???

Even if pMusic supports other playlist formats, the internal format *.pmu takes advantages of the info in the pMusic database.
I saved the same tracklist as m3u, pls and pmu.
The attached image shows how it looks when expanded in the builtin filebrowser.

[don570]

When I right click on a playlist (m3u or pls) with the Rox file manager
I can make the songs appear in pmusic music list with my script create-m3u.

...but does this m3u or pls filename appear on the Bookmarks list
automatically?? That would simplify the procedure of making Bookmarks.

Maybe I could write the name of the m3u file to the tail of one of your
hidden files??

Looking forward to v4.5

Executing the command 'pmusic /path/playlist.pls' opens the playlist and start playing. It is added to the pMusic db, but not as a bookmark (favorite marks in pMusic). This is meant for personal use only. The db is the systems playground.

The last added playlist is always stored in $HOME/.pmusic/tmp/last_added_playlist

I updated the jamendo index last night, and it has grown remarkable.
sept 2014: 350 000 tracks
feb 2015: 600 000 tracks

The index file to download is 13Mb - not bad for half a million of songs
