gnome-shell-extensions-mediaplayer's Issues

not an issue but some info :-)

seems with the latest G-S updates to 3.3.5 they have totally changed the way extensions are intergrated in G-S http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/log/ make for some interesting reading :-)

just so you know your extension wks great even with 3.3.4 though it fails with the new 3.3.5!

cheers BB

Load covers from url

I use your plugin with spotify. Unfortunately it does not display the album covers, i suppose It's because the covers need to be loaded from a url. It would be cool if you would add support for this.

Huge Icons

I was messing around with gnome-shell themes earlier, and after going back to the defaults, the media player applet has huge icons for some reason. I'm not sure if switching themes is what caused it, but can you help me get it back to normal? I don't know what settings to look at, for starters.

Here's a (bad) screenshot. I can't get gnome-screenshot to take a proper screen, so I had to make do. http://imgur.com/blo6k

Improvement: Extend cover art

Clicking on cover art in extension would extend it, to give better view of image. Like, for example, quodlibet does.

Why?
Because in most cases it's nearly impossible to see, what's in image, because it's too small.

support gmusicbrowser

gmusicbrowser has support for mpdris and mpdris2

Names on session bus:
org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.gmusicbrowser
org.mpris.gmusicbrowser

please include! :)

Problems changing the location into Volume Menu

Hello Everyone,

Like a lot of people I love this extensions and I wish it was official on Gnome-shell and not just an extension but it is not my problem right now...

I have installed this extensions using the http://extensions.gnome.org website... the problem is, when I tried to change the icon (that is separate from the volume one) into the Volume Menu I fallow the wiki and do this :

gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.mediaplayer volume true

But my terminal returns that there is no "org.gnome.shell.extensions.mediaplayer" scheme...

How can I solve this problem ?

Thanks in Advance,
Luis Da Costa

can add a play icon to volume icon

can add a play icon to volume icon so that I can start play on volume icon, or keep the buttons there always.................

I can't use with mediaplayer.

Hey all.
I just want to use with this in my Gnome 3.2 shell.

All my configure ok, but i can't see the Icon.
This is image from my gnome-tweak-tool: http://i56.tinypic.com/fz9iet.png

What i can to do for work this (I try logout; reboot and all).

Thanks you.

Support for gmusicbrowser

Would it be possible to add support for gmusicbrowser? It seems to have MPRIS plugins included.

Thanks. It's a fantastic extension.

Fix slider style

Sliders probably has hard-coded width, which is bad practice, especially in such place like gnome-shell, where probably anything could happen.

In this image it still does look OK, and you could dismiss that small amount of white space:

However, when you expand cover art (or some wide content appears in widget, which would cause it to expand) it looks way worse:

Bug with timer

When you press pause the timer does not stop
The error appears on quodlibet and banshee

Foreground of labels: by and from

The foreground of the labels 'by' and 'from' are set in extension.js and not changeable by css:

    this.trackArtist = new Widget.TrackTitle('<span foreground="#ccc">' + _("by") +'</span> %s', 'track-artist');
    this.trackAlbum = new Widget.TrackTitle('<span foreground="#ccc">' + _("from") + '</span> %s', 'track-album');

with some lighter themes, these labels are hard to read - see marked area in screenshot (used theme is Zukitwo Cupertino).

Can't set the volume to 0 or 1 with the slider

When trying to set the volume to 0 or 1, JS send an int value even the value is cast to float with : parseFloat(value)
Since the dbus interface only accept double type (http://www.mpris.org/2.1/spec/Player_Node.html#Property:Volume) it doesn't work.

method call sender=:1.78 -> dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.banshee serial=628 path=/org/mpris/MediaPlayer2; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties; member=Set
string "org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player"
string "Volume"
variant int32 0

With a value beetween 0 and 1, all is ok :

method call sender=:1.78 -> dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.banshee serial=666 path=/org/mpris/MediaPlayer2; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties; member=Set
string "org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player"
string "Volume"
variant double 0.387754

Pithos support

Pithos is a native Pandora client for Linux ( http://kevinmehall.net/p/pithos/ ).

Because it's Pandora I don't think it would support seeking. However, when you add 'pithos' to the metadata.json in the non-seeking category, it works fine. This is good. This should probably be put in by default as it controls it nicely.

It can't do Pandora-specific features (obviously) like rating songs and changing stations. It would be fantastic if this extension somehow supported that, too, but it's not something I would really expect. Also, it doesn't pull cover art, but I don't know what that entails either.

In summary: This extension works with Pithos, and should have it enabled by default! Great work.

[whishlist] show current music player status

It would be nice to see current music player status instead static icon.
I think it would be option and show some status like [PLAY], [PAUSE], [STOP] and [PLAYER NOT RUNNING],
thanks.

Add support for spotify-client-qt

Spotify Native client for Linux uses MPRIS2 and with unity is working well but with this extension the extension icon is not displayed.

Suspending and resuming duplicates entries

Suspending and resuming the system when a media player is running can result in two entries for it appearing on the sound menu. Each entry works fine, and controls the same instance of the media player. Even after the media player closes and re-opens, two entries appear again for it. Only a shell restart fixes the problem.

I have not been able to duplicate this problem every time I try it, but it does happen on occasion.

Switching between sound menu and separate menu creates multiple instances in sound menu

Everytime the option is switched from separate menu to sound menu an additional instance is added to the menu.
Expected behaviour: Just one instance should appear ;)

Apply a Fixed Width

When skipping songs using this extension, the button placement changes depending on the length of the artist name, album name, or song name. This makes it difficult to quickly skip multiple songs because one has to move the mouse to hover over the correct button each time. By applying a fixed width, this issue would not exist because the buttons would always be in the same place.

Exaile

Can you add exaile, please ?

Add plugin to Gnome Extensions website

I'm going to be quick here.

Submit plugin to https://extensions.gnome.org/, so we could easily install it by several button clicks.

Change label from "Volume" to "Media Volume"

I found the button writing confusing at first glance and suggest to change the label of the volume widget from "Volume" to "Media Volume".

Also, it would be nice to have the media name and icon open the application (like it does in Ubuntu).

One more thing, I think a "Mute" button is nice addition.

Forked Extension

Hi, I'd just like you to know that I've made a fork of your extension. :)

I worked on it months before in my spare time, just because I wanted to learn more about Gnome Shell. I ported it to the new 3.2 framework a few days ago, and now I decided to try and release the source.

You can get it here: https://github.com/brianrobles204/Music-Integration
Major diffs:

• each player has its own icon in the panel, instead of sharing one. Each player has more controls, including shuffle and repeat.
• It has standard notifications, for all players. Good for those music players that don't take full advantage of GS's notification system.
• Some more polish on the theme. Also, the track time only appears when you hover over the cover art.
• Some bug fixes, notably the one where after enabling then disabling the extension, opening a new player will still make it appear in the extension.
  Sidenote: It can run alongside your extension, but there are stylesheet conflicts, so it won't look good.

I think some of these could be really useful; Hopefully we can merge some of the better features into one extension :)

Add support for Tomahawk

Would it be possible to add support for Tomahawk?

org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.tomahawk

Please let me know if you need any other information, I would be glad to help!

Support starting music player via D-Bus activation

MPRIS2 supports starting the music player via D-Bus activation. I'd love to have the music menu show up by default at the start of the session, and load my preferred music player on first use (when I first click on the menu).

Removes the volume icon

In some cases, the extension completely removes the volume icon when the last player is closed.

To reproduce:

1. Start a player
2. Enable the "Show in volume menu" option
3. Disable the option
4. Exit all players
5. The extension removes its own icon and the volume icon.

Queue management

I use this extension with Quod Libet. I'd love to manage Quod Libet's queue directly from the music menu: display the contents of the queue, allow deleting or reordering items in it, allow switching to a song in it, allow toggling the "random" queue order, and (based on issue 55) allow adding new songs to it.

VLC is displayed twice

I'm not sure what else to say about this issue. When I play a file in VLC, VLC is listed twice in the indicator.

I am up-to-date with the released extension (as of May 2nd, 2012) and I'm running VLC 2.1.0-git:

VLC media player 2.1.0-git Rincewind (revision 1.3.0-git-1763-g38a4fd7)
VLC version 2.1.0-git Rincewind (1.3.0-git-1763-g38a4fd7)

gmusicbrowser hangs at start with mediaplayer extension

gnome-shell-extensions-mediaplayer makes gmusicbrowser (with plugin notify on) hangs at start. If i remove the extension, gmusicbrowser no more hanging. Thanks for your help.

No metadata displayed on start if player paused

If the extension is loaded while a player is already in the "Paused" state, the player is shown in the popup without any metadata. (For example: if I pause the player, then restart the shell via Alt-F2.)

The metadata appears only after clicking "Play", and remains displayed correctly when clicking "Pause" again.

DeaDBeeF

Is it possible to add DeaDBeeF...it support MPRIS plugin v 2.1 http://deadbeef.sourceforge.net/plugins.html

Crash gnome-shell with spotify

When playing spotify and try to change the time/progress of the music, gnome-shell got crash.

Could you please disable this feature if spotify is playing?

dissapears on shell restart in 3.2

I'm not sure if it's a limitation of 3.2 or not but when you restart the shell it dissapears from the volume menu. Also I sent you an email regarding another issue.

Progress bar does not update correctly after seek

When seeking from outside (using the media player's own controls), the indicator's progress bar keeps counting from the old position, ignoring reality.

Tested with Banshee 2.2.1, grawity/mpDris2@8e896f6, gnome-shell-extensions-mediaplayer ef47b09.

Freezes in GNOME Shell

After every 3-5 minutes of work, I always get gnome-shell freezes with this extension activated. I can't do anything, even Alt+F2 doesn't work. That was happening in GNOME 3.0 too, and happens even with different graphics cards (Intel and NV).
My player is Banshee 2.2, Arch Linux kernel 3.0.4

extension help :-)

I have been using your extension fro a while now, and with great success, with the new shell updates and with the new standards that they are implementing, the extension will not load now with the error missing 'init' function

so i was looking around and added this to your code just to see if it will load. which it does!
unfortunatly i am not so up to speed with Java-scripts.

is it possible to to patch your extension using the new system?
big thanks for a great extension :-)

No progress bar with mpdris2

Hi,

nice extension, thanks!

Not sure if I should raise this with mpdris2 or it is just not supported - I get no seek/progress bar with mpdris2, works fine with e.g. rhythmbox. Both mpdris2 and mediaplayer extensions latest git master.

Edit:
mpristester reports

Warning at property Position: Position (2208.00s) is 2.00s ahead of what was predicted from Rate (2206.00s)
Error at property MinimumRate: Property MinimumRate is missing
Error at property MaximumRate: Property MaximumRate is missing
Error at property Rate: Property Rate is missing

uncommenting the rate properties in /usr/bin/mpDris2 (using rate = 1) makes the progress bar in mediaplayer extension show up, but mpristester now shows outrageous offsets from the predicted position.
I guess you had your reasons for commenting it..

Closing as it is really a bug with mpDris2.

Extension doesn't work for Exaile

Sorry to sound like a n00b, but I warn you that I've been having weird things happen with my Fedora install (Dbus org.freedesktop.Notifications.service file wasn't even there). Fedora is functioning, but it's taking a lot of work just to get certain things working.

Anyways, on to the problem. When I click the Off -> On icon on the Gnome Extensions website for your extension, it pops up the usual Gnome3 dialog asking, "Do you want to download and install the extension?" I click "Install", and the dialog disappears as normal, but the icon never shows up in the notification bar, the extension doesn't show in the Volume icon (as per the Github readme), and the extension doesn't show up in the extension list on Advanced Settings (gnome-tweak-tool, not sure if the extension is supposed to show there). The extension shows as installed on the Gnome Extensions website however.

I am using Exaile. I have also tried running Banshee, and still nothing.

Is there logs somewhere? Or a way for me to manually install? Wait....ting! I forgot about simply compiling your extension. xD I'll try that, and keep you posted.

Oh, I'm on Fedora 16, just some extra info. :)

Edit: Figured out that Banshee didn't have the MPRIS framework extension loaded. Your extension works now.

I had MPRIS loaded on Exaile, but I found out it still doesn't have MPRIS2 support. :\

Either you're going to add MPRIS 1 support, or Exaile needs to update...this sucks.... oh well. lol.

Closed.

BAG

with a white window theme, the buttons are not visible, because of the confluence of colors

Little important improvements

I'm sorry if this is not an issue, but a feature request... :)

It would be great if:

• there was a seeking bar to search in the song, or at least the total/passed/left time
• it was possible to open the player window by a button or link in the extension

Thanks

Feature to rate playing song

This is a great extension, very neat. The only thing it lacks of is ability to rate playing song. I use banshee but there is such feature in other media players too. Could you please add support for it?

Search bar to change song

I'd love to have a search bar I could use to switch songs: open the music menu, type (part of) a song name, get a short list of matches, select with up/down, press enter to switch to that song.

Need audacious support..

I can to add this, but its really other syntax (mpris [org.mpris.audacious]).

So, Anyone have a good idea for add this? Or need to re-write the plugin for special audacious?

Shell 3.3.90 - buttons too large

Using gnome-shell 3.3.90 and the latest extension from extensions.gnome.org, the playback control buttons are almost twice as large as they were in the stable version:
