Stuck while compiling about plattenalbum

[SoongNoonien]

I didn't tell you that a month ago I had managed to build an older version. Yesterday I was setting up a new MPD instance and gave mpdevil the new connection details. Since then it started to hang, which led me to upgrade it. Maybe mpdevil is stuck because of an conf file and I wasn't able to find where it could be located.

Ok, I see.

A suggestion:

Just run gsettings reset-recursively org.mpdevil in a terminal to clear all settings of mpdevil. If it still won't start just use gsettings set org.mpdevil hosts "['foo']" to set an illegal host.

First thing first: thanks a lot for your hard work, Markus!

Thanks! But who is Markus? :)

I had to find them online and copied them into the aclocal folder.
I also checked if config.guess and config.sub are present and I found files with these names.

These files are not important it works fine without them. Though I have to admit it is my first time providing a compilable package. But so far it's working good on all distros I have tested.

According to your terminal output mpdevil should start just fine now. Did you try the PKGBUILD which I provide for all releases of mpdevil? It's working great with Manjaro too. With a PKGBUILD you don't have to compile it by hand, just run e.g. makepkg -sirc in the directory of the PKGBUILD.

Martin! Sorry 😁

No for me 😉

Thanks a lot for this command! I had no idea what to do with that file. I was able to install mpdevil! I've learned something new today.

Sounds good!

But now it doesn't work at all. No GUI and after 10 seconds the Force Quit window shows up. I then tried to run it from the terminal and it doesn't give any message.

Did you remove your old install attempt? If not: by running mpdevil on the console (and starting in the applications menu) the old files will be used. Please try to run /usr/bin/mpdevil directly.

[lautome]

Actually at one time I searched for all mpdevil files in the system partition and deleted them... That's how I got rid of it.

Since then, I've run PKGBUILD in a clean folder and installed it correctly. I've even rebooted.

Sorry for the mess and thank you for your support!

[lautome]

Just run gsettings reset-recursively org.mpdevil in a terminal to clear all settings of mpdevil.

Yes! Everything is fine. 😀

Thank you so much! It doesn't show the album covers but I suppose I'll have to tweaks MPD's conf. Should I create a new enhancement request to display the lyrics tag of songs?

Now I have to fix my server and get the soundcard working...

[SoongNoonien]

Yes! Everything is fine.

Great!

It doesn't show the album covers but I suppose I'll have to tweaks MPD's conf.

You have to set a music library location for your profile in mpdevil to load the covers from (I think I should explain that in the wiki). Currently mpdevil can't load covers from the tags since neither mpd nor python-mpd2 support than at the moment but it is planed for mpd I think.

Should I create a new enhancement request to display the lyrics tag of songs?

I'm sorry but same problem here. mpdevil can only load lyrics from the web since mpd does not support lyrics tags. Since I want to keep mpdevil small I actually didn't intent to load tags directly. So you could try to make a feature request for mpd.

[SoongNoonien]

Besides that the GUI should never freeze. Could you send me your mpd.conf which made mpdevil hang so I can see if mpdevil needs fixing at that point?

[lautome]

Hey sorry for letting you wait! I was very busy and actually it got too difficult to set up mpd for me, so I deleted it. I don't have my conf anymore...

[SoongNoonien]

Oh, ok. I think I'll close this bug then.
