olivia's Issues

app does not cache pages once loaded

there should be a way to cache data in offline storage, with timestamp showing user that they are browsing old snapshot(if data found offline) and allow them tl forcefully load new snapshot from internet. it will make browsing fater and efficient, this will also allow populate user activity tab in future in some ways.

Record Radio too :P

Like Olivia can save tracks after buffer, same can go with radio.

No way to add local music from a folder

There doesn't appear to be any way to add music from a folder. I've clicked and right-clicked on every possible part of the application and there simply isn't an option. I get Reload and Inspect, but Local Music and Add New Playlist do nothing.

save volume of player session

Feature Reques: Import public youtube playlists

In most modern media players like VLC you can import existing YouTube playlists.

I would love to see a similar feature in olivia.
Here Is an example playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvCguu7BmkGWlexq4DydR3Eh--om1dStm

snap build using snapcraft CI?CD build system.

Application need to be delivered using snapcraft's CI/CD build system.
What issues am having right now :

1. How to stage a package from repository in snap package in snapcraft build system?

can you help @Lin-Buo-Ren ??

Please provide a portable AppImage for Linux, too

Providing an AppImage would have, among others, these advantages:

• Applications packaged as an AppImage can run on many distributions (including Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, CentOS, elementaryOS, Linux Mint, and others)
• One app = one file = super simple for users: just download one AppImage file, make it executable, and run
• No unpacking or installation necessary
• No root needed
• No system libraries changed
• Works out of the box, no installation of runtimes needed
• Optional desktop integration with appimaged
• Optional binary delta updates, e.g., for continuous builds (only download the binary diff) using AppImageUpdate
• Can optionally GPG2-sign your AppImages (inside the file)
• Works on Live ISOs
• Can use the same AppImages when dual-booting multiple distributions
• Can be listed in the AppImageHub central directory of available AppImages
• Can double as a self-extracting compressed archive with the --appimage-extract parameter
• No repositories needed. Suitable/optimized for air-gapped (offline) machines

Here is an overview of projects that are already distributing upstream-provided, official AppImages.

If you have questions, AppImage developers are on #AppImage on irc.freenode.net.

No way to star or save a track in favourite list

Save Ui State in QSettings

Need to save window state in QSettings so that user's modification to ui can be loaded on app restart.

Snap package suffers from delay in auto next track issue.

Hi olivia users, i know about a bug which is causing long delay in auto next of tracks only if the user is using snap package with strict confinement. the issue will be fixed from the snapcraft.io and snappy team maybe when they will add an interface to allow read from fifo files.

Currently Olivia uses mpv as audio player which is set to run in idle mode in background, the communication with the olivia and mpv is set up using ipc-server setup which use fifo as path to communicate. I use socat to pass any data to mpv and get any data from it by writing and reading the fifo file. the wrting part works well but the read part have issues when the app is packaged in snap package. I can confirm this by looking in "snappy-debug.security scanlog" output. i have already raised an issue in snappy forum am waiting for snappy team to fix the issue here https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/no-read-from-fifo-device-in-snap-packaged-app/12150

allow users to bookmark youtube channel.

double click on titlebar do not maximize or restore mainwindow

Re: mpv

I see you're using my mpv build from ppa.
You may wish to consider using a different mpv build I have, to discuss why you can contact me via launchpad mail available from ppa page

[Documentation] Command for running olivia

In the Readme, command to run Olivia is

QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE='gtk' olivia.test.olivia

But, in my directory structure, I see

snap/bin/olivia-test.olivia

So, when I do

QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE="gtk" olivia-test.olivia, olivia opens up. Is this an error in documentation?

Can't run from terminal

Fix it
