playbar2's Issues

Configure preferred source for controlling only favorite player

When system use multiple media players, Playbar use only one source for control, seems from which it got last event.

So very often this is web browser, that plays some short media file, that is not good, because after playing in browser I can't control my favorite media player.

Will be good to have option for force use preferred source to control in widget settings, can you please add this feature?

Insert Seek bar next to player control

by farohp on: May 28 2016 link

For me is a very important function have seek bar next to button control in KDE bar.

Like Panflute: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FJH0hYZmVtc/S6AbcGxo3wI/AAAAAAAAGqQ/nBHS1-pWzAs/s400/Selection_002.png

Is possibile?

In alternative move the mouse over the button control in bar and automatically appear the window that you have programmed with the seek bar.

Play not worked after pause

Play action not worked with VLC after pause (on panel and widget too).

Keyboard shourtcut to easily move from player to player

I'd like to have a shortcut to move to next source. Would it be possible?

Also, I see in settings an option for "Toggle window media player", which at first I thought it was exactly this. But I don't see this shorcut does anything... Can you please clarify what is this functionality about?

Thank you!

Hard coded installation paths

My plasma location is /opt/kf5(/lib). It would seem however, the hard coded install path is /usr(/lib64). CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX seems to be ignored. Its a little annoying needing to manually move files into their correct places.

Picture Scaling

Hi,
first of all, thanks for the great widget. I would like to propose an enhancement for it: I like to see the album cover really large :-), but it does not scale with the widget. If automatic scaling is problematic an option to adjust the size in the settings would also work out for me.

I have attached two screenshots. The first one shows the widget in small. It looks nice in this setting. For the larger setting (screenshot2) however, the picture could use all the additional space. The skip and volume bar can stay vertically at the same position as before.

PlayBar2 2.5 DEB-packages

Maybe it's help for some users :)
Compiled for Xenial (Ubuntu 16.04)

Show buttons on hover for extend text area with song info

At now widget button always visible, so they eats space in widget and cut text with current song info.
Will be good to implement mode for show only text info in widget, but on mouse hover - show buttons (pause, and next/prev/stop). This will extend area for displaying current song info, and allow to show more buttons on "Play/Pause and track info" mode. What do you think about this idea?

Dependencies of playbar in CMakeList.txt#find_package

There are some dependencies missing in CMakeList.txt and/or in README:md (that are currently only fulfilled in a transient way):

• qtgui (both)
• qtcore (readme)
• qtwidgets (readme)
• qtquickcontrols (readme)
• frameworks KConfig (both)
• frameworks KCoreAddons (both)
• frameworks KI18n (readme)
• frameworks KWidgetsAddons (both)

The dependency on the follwing packages is not necessary:

• plasma-workspace (readme)

Furthermore the qml dependencies are only runtime dependencies (all the QML stuff, qtdeclarative), its nice to add them in cmake with the help of kde/extra-cmake-modules via:
ECMQMLModules#ecm_find_qmlmodule
You can find an example here: https://phabricator.kde.org/D7273

However, they are only present in frameworks >=5.28. Thus, you would need to require a recent frameworks version.

NEWS

On next days I will to liberate a new release.

Will playbar support changing volume on scroll automagically or needs porting?

Please see:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=386588

new icon too small?

New icon of PlayBar seems to be very small in my system. Is there a way to make it bigger?

[Feature Request] Ability to specify widget width

Hi, thank you for this widget!

One feature I think would be useful is the ability to specify the width of the plasmoid inside the panel, something like this:

=^__^=

Layout with all buttons and track info

At now layout with track info contains only one play/pause button. Will be good to have mode with all buttons together with track info too!

[Feature request] Launchers for recent media players

Add a launcher for default music player when it is not opened.

Excellent widget. Great work!!

Bigger icons size on panel

For KDE now default icon size 22px it's contained for status (on icon theme) and Plasma desktop theme.
Used icon media, but icons on Playbar bigger and blurred.
Please see screenshots for compare:
Original icon on Plasma theme:

Icons on panel:

Option toolbar not solve this, because icons not use 22px and very tiny (and blurred too):

CMakeList.txt hard coded install paths: downstream packaging issues

The commit df46245 introduced hard coded paths. That is a problem for downstream packaging, as these paths are no longer adjusted to distro-specific settings.

Thus I have created a pull request for that reason: #40

[Feature Reguest] - Improve margins for Play/Pause layout

it would nice to have a little smaller margins in the right side of the Play/Pause layout. Playbar can not be added yet in the systray but it is possible to add it next to it.... Like the screenshot shows the only thing that distinguish the playbar applet from the systray items is a bigger margin on the right side. If this margin was changed a bit then the playbar applet would look like as it belonged in the systray when no media is playing...

Multiple bugs on Fedora KDE

I built your app from source, and it seems to have a few issues(used Spotify for that):
-No album cover is shown
-Cannot open the configuration window
-The 'Open Spotify' option does not work
-Next multimedia source does not do anything too.

However, the media buttons work.

Hope these issues get resolved soon - your widget looks great, looking forward to use it once it starts to work on Fedora.

Translate to ...

Contact with me please. 👍

Widget is empty

http://itmages.ru/image/view/6173594/3799b749
This picture shows that the widget is empty. This behavior of the widget is observed in kubuntu 16.04 and mint 18. At the same time its settings open normally.

[Feature request] Easy acces to change multimedia source

Could be interesting easy access icons to change the multimedia source, like in the next mockup:

There are two icons next to the Settings icon. This icons enable the fast change between the multimedia sources. In this example, between Clementine or VLC.

Settings window not opened on Arch Linux

keyboard shortcuts to move back and forward

Playbar is very powerful, which now applies also to online multimedia players in common browsers like chromium and firefox via plasma-browser-integration. This is great to control pause/play, for instance.

There is however sth in online players that annoys me quite a bit, and playbar could perhaps help quite a lot: it is not easy to move the player position back and forward in a controlled manner. Instead, one needs to drag and drop the dot of the current player position, which is a very coarse way to do it.

It would be awesome to have the possibility to move back and forward the position of online multimedia players via Playbar. Ideally with an option in settings to set how many seconds to jump (so a user can configure it to her preference), and with keyboard shortcuts to activate the jump in each direction.

Do you think this is something doable?

ppa:varlesh-l/plasma5-tools renamed

In the README.md in the Repositories Kubuntu section:

https://github.com/audoban/playbar2/blob/8b6607522b031fc81793ace1db6d5edd3ab21671/README.md#L68-L73

the ppa:varlesh-l/plasma5-tools was renamed. Replace the first line with the following:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:varlesh-l/ubuntu-tools

The name of the package is the same.

Incompatablity with clementine

Hi.
Thanks for this nice widget.
When use clementine back button and seek scroll not work

Not possible in systray anymore

Is it not possible to have PlayBar in the systray anymore?
I really liked that feature, to replace Plasma's default media player control... Would it be possible to get it back?

Can't compile Playbar2 on Kubuntu (Ubuntu) 15.04 with KDE5 and Plasma2

I have install plasma-framework-devel and plasma5-workspace-devel packages (seems that it have other names in Ubuntu - plasma-workspace-dev and plasma-framework-dev).

Two-line track info text

Icon names changed in KDE 5.17.3, missing icons

After an update to KDE 5.17.3 most media icons have been missing due to a rename of the icon names:

in icons/media

• media-playback-start has changed to ww-hh-media-playback-start
• media-playback-pause has changed to ww-hh-media-playback-pause
• media-playback-stop has changed to ww-hh-media-playback-stop
• media-skip-backward has changed to ww-hh-media-skip-backward
• media-skip-forward has changed to ww-hh-media-skip-forward

where ww-hh- can be one of the following:

1. 16-16-
2. 22-22-
3. 32-32-

Would it be poosible to use the renamed icons if available and otherwise the ones without the ww-hh--prefix (for downward compatibility)?

(With inkscape you can inspect /usr/share/plasma/desktoptheme/default/icons/media.svgz.)

I'M BACK AGAIN

release soon

Gentoo ebuild for your releases

Hi,
i like your plasmoid a lot (much better than the default media widget), but did not want to pollute my system with an unmanaged installation, so i have created a small ebuild (Gentoo Package file) for PlayBar2.

If you like, you can add this to your releases, or provide it at kde-look. By simply renaming the file to the desired version number, you can adjust the ebuild to new releases.

Doesn't work with recent beta

Hi,

since yesterday there is a new beta (http://repository.spotify.com/pool/non-free/s/spotify-client/spotify-client_1.0.13.111.g6bd0deca_amd64.deb) which brings back DBUS/MPRIS2. But PlayBar2 doesn't recognize Spotify running. Could you please have a look into that?
The same applies to PlayBar.

Thanks!

Force kwin to give focus to SMPlayer on "Toggle window media player" (it actually applies to all non-KDE media players using MPRIS)

This issue follows some discussion in issue #37

SMPlayer dev comment:

There's already code to raise the window in the mpris2 code (of SMPlayer), however it seems most desktops ignore it because they don't allow a window to go foreground on its own. The dragonplayer uses a specific function from the KDE libraries to do it (KWindowSystem::forceActiveWindow), but I can't use the KDE libraries, otherwise smplayer will depend on a lot of KDE packages.

Maybe the call to that function can be done by playbar2. According to
the KDE documentation that function should only be used by "pagers and
similar tools".

https://api.kde.org/frameworks/kwindowsystem/html/classKWindowSystem.html#aecb213d950a6615fc0e961273d72e166

Thanks for considering!

Is this project still in development?

Title says it all

Kubuntu gettext dependency missing

In the README.md in the Kubuntu section:

https://github.com/audoban/playbar2/blob/8b6607522b031fc81793ace1db6d5edd3ab21671/README.md#L45-L50

one dependency is missing. PlayBar2 also needs the gettext package (exactly that)

Vertical layout does not persist

In the last update I liked so much the vertical layout. I did configure my play bar widget in vertical mode, but when I turn on my pc, this layout does not persist. Then, I go to the settings of the widget: the vertical layout appears chosen. So, I have to chose horizontal layout and then go back to the vertical to apply the changes to get this mode.

Expanded view stopped working with Plasma 5.15

Was alright in 5.14.x. Tried rebuilding with plasma-framework-dev-5.44.0 and plasma-workspace-dev-4:5.15.0 but didn't really change anything appearance-wise.
Not sure how to debug this unfortunately.
