Request for help!

I have an unstable internet connection, which fails to build a fresh index of podcast channels (since the building process check if podcast url is alive before adding it to the index file).

If you have a reliable connection and are willing to let it run for some hours, I would be very thankful if you could send me a fresh index file. All you have to do is to press the button 'Build podcast index' - and wait...

Send me a pm, and you'll get my mail address.
Thank you

I have some mp3s that are over an hour (i.e. trance sessions) and PMusic (currently 5.4.0) doesn't show their correct length.

This was using Slacko 6.9.6.4 32-bit. I uploaded the displayed song below if you need something to test:

Thanks zigbert. I think having a "minimal interface" button would be handy, where you can turn off certain areas. I looked around but didn't see anything. Something that could transform pmusic into something like this for example (attached) or like the gnome-mplayer image above, when you don't need the browser or playlist.

edit: Well, dragging the bottom right corner up seems to work now, not sure how I missed that. Smile

Since pMusic have a separated backend, it is not a huge task to build a simplified frontend. There already exist one similar (Menu->View->NowPLaying), but this one is maximized rather than your request of a minimized.

The question is more if it is a good idea to add a new button to the main window since there already is a handgrip bottom-right. pMusic is a complex music environment, and the hardest struggle is to keep the gui simple...

Note, that clicking on the pMusic tray-icon hides the frontend, while the backend goes on playing. Click one more time to show it again.

Is it incompatible with Lucid? All I get is "failed to install". No further details
I've tried both mirrors and switching download directories.

It's one of those rare moments where it feels like Linux is saying "up yours" , rather than Windows, which does so on a daily basis Very Happy

(Running lupu_528 on my laptop, current pmusic version is 4.6.2)

Here you will find some packages made for Lucid.
pMusic5.2.7 is the most recent available. If this works for you, I can make a lucid-pet of the latest version.

pMusic 5 is much faster than pMusic 4, so it is heavily recommended.

-most recent version
Edit: old version 5.2.4

Have you tested the first launch of pmusic i.e. no configuration files
when the user doesn't have an internet connection?

...because I got a nagging message that I needed to download a file (radio stations list)
from internet and I can't because I don't have internet Crying or Very sad

It was then awkward to set up for music, but I succeeded!

I did more checking of xerus 8.3 and Barry is using old version of pmusic
version 5.2.4

and he is leaving in a link (see image)
That caused my problem.

I tested in Xerus and it works well, including on first run.

I noticed one thing....

After making a favorites list apparently the only way to go back to browser mode
is to use the menu. I was looking for a button to press Crying or Very sad
