QuodLIbet 4.6.1 unable to make web request

Steps to reproduce

Install Musikbrainz plugin.
Use it on a playlist will produce an error.
It seems that no request could be emitted from the sonoma application…?

Which operating system

MacOS 10.14...

Additional Information

libpulsecommon-16.1.dylib not found at application launch

Quod Libet pre-alpha. This is visible when the app is launched from the command line:

(gst-plugin-scanner:80043): GStreamer-WARNING **: 15:23:12.867: Failed to load plugin '/Users/jwd/nobackup-cs/quodlibet/dev-utils/osx_bundle/_build/QuodLibet.app/Contents/Resources/lib/gstreamer-1.0/libgstpulseaudio.dylib': dlopen(/Users/jwd/nobackup-cs/quodlibet/dev-utils/osx_bundle/_build/QuodLibet.app/Contents/Resources/lib/gstreamer-1.0/libgstpulseaudio.dylib, 0x0002): Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Resources/lib/pulseaudio/libpulsecommon-16.1.dylib

  Reason: tried: '/Users/jwd/nobackup-cs/quodlibet/dev-utils/osx_bundle/_build/QuodLibet.app/Contents/Resources/lib/libpulsecommon-16.1.dylib' (no such file), '/Volumes/nobackup-cs/quodlibet/dev-utils/osx_bundle/_build/QuodLibet.app/Contents/Resources/libexec/Resources/lib/pulseaudio/libpulsecommon-16.1.dylib' (no such file)

Pulse Audio has its own directory "pulseaudio" within prefix/lib, and libpulsecommon-16.1.dylib is within that. That private directory isn't included in the listed search paths, so the library isn't found.

The effects of not loading this plugin are unclear.

Can not sort by column headers in playlists UI when start app at first time, even "Always allow sorting" is turned on. I have to open settings menu and close it to enbale sorting by column headers.

OS: macOS Sonoma 14.5
Quodlibet version: 4.6.1

Here I found a bug. In settings, I have turned "Always allow sorting" on, but when I closed Quodlibet app and started it again, in playlists UI, I clicked the colunmn headers, but sorting was not functional.

Soon I opened settings menu and close it, then sorting by column headers worked.

OSX build fails with undefined PYENV_VERSION environment variable

At release-4.6.1:

./build.sh
cargo 1.73.0 (9c4383fb5 2023-08-26)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/jwd/nobackup-cs/quodlibet/dev-utils/osx_bundle/_jhbuild/jhbuild/config.py", line 194, in load

~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "", line 679, in getitem
KeyError: 'PYENV_VERSION'
jhbuild: could not load config file

The failing code is in jhbuildrc-gtk-osx, and comments on it say that PYENV_VERSION is defined by pyenv. This is incorrect (https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv#environment-variables).

As a workaround, manually define PYENV_VERSION.

This error started hitting after I reinstalled pyenv, Xcode and used homebrew to reinstall a bunch of packages. I don't know what previously defined PYENV_VERSION.

No window opens when Quod Libet is opened via the Finder on Sonoma

This is apparently a bug/feature in MacOS 14.0. QL uses a single _launcher script to launch QL, exfalso, and other apps. When Finder launches an application, it gets the executable name from the Info.plist. These executables actually exist only as symbolic links to _launcher, and that script looks at the path it was executed from to determine what the real app is.

As of MacOS 14.0, _launcher is invoked using its own path, not that of the original symbolic link. The script ultimately dies when it starts Python with the wrong app path.

Volume slider takes too much horizontal space unless the queue is visible

Steps to reproduce

Close song queue widget.

Expected Output

Volume slider stays at its configured 35 pixel width, and the browser stays at its current width.

Actual Output

Volume slider expands horizontally and the browser shrinks.

Test System

Which version of Quod Libet?

jwd-customized based on main as of 1/12/24.

Which operating system

Linux, OSX

Additional Information

This has been broken since the volume slider was added. Gtk+ widgets don't have a max-width property, so there's no easy way to get the desired behavior.

Warn if developer's PKG_CONFIG_PATH is overwritten

7c02b27 added code to quodlibet-jhbuildrc-custom to force PKG_CONFIG_PATH to contain only what we want at build time. It should issue a warning if this overwrites something set by the developer.
