PyTone 3.0.1 released
by Joerg Lehmann 14 Aug '07

14 Aug '07

Hi PyToners! Here comes another PyTone release, http://www.luga.de/pytone/download/PyTone-3.0.1.tar.gz This release fixes the tag filtering and adds two more virtual directories: One which contains only the songs which have been played once and the other only the songs matching (either in title, album or artist name) a given search string (use "f" for "focus on). This should be a handy search alternative. Last but not least, I've enabled the lyrics display (use "L"). Have fun, Jörg

Revised capitalisation patch and bug fix
by Russell Steicke 18 Jun '07

18 Jun '07

While playing music today, I noticed a bug in display of album names. They were displayed without capitalisation changes. The problem is in md_pp_capitalize(). It creates a local variable called mdalbum instead of modifying md.album. Here are two patches: one to fix that bug, and another to apply on top of that, instead of the first one I sent a couple of hours ago. Both against svn version 282.

ANN: PyTone 3.0.0-pre2 released
by Joerg Lehmann 14 Jun '07

14 Jun '07

Hi all, I underestimated the Ogg Vorbis user community, so here comes a next pre-release which should work better ;-) with Ogg Vorbis files: http://www.luga.de/pytone/download/PyTone-3.0.0-pre2.tar.gz In fact, it should work so well that I would appreciate to know whether tags like ReplayGain, tracknumber (partial/total), disknumber (partial/total), bpm, ... works. Just use a well-tagged file and check whether the information provided by the detailed file view (press "?") is complete. The documentation on these things is so scarce that I had to do quite some blind guessing. Btw, please also test the completeness of information for MP3 files. If there are problems, please tell me whether you're using the mutagen or the eyeD3 module. Have fun, Joerg PS: Dag, this should also fix a problem with the scanning of MP3 files. Please retest.

Capitalisation of words preceded by punctuation
by Russell Steicke 11 Jun '07

11 Jun '07

Hello, I found pytone while searching for text-mode music players, and Wow!, I'm very impressed. One small thing niggled me, and that was the way that capitalisation of names would create names like Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) Only The Bones (will Show) Note the words "and" and "will" without leading capitals. This might be expected for some of the joining words like "and", but it only happens to words immediately preceded by punctuation. Here's a patch against svn version 282 to change that behaviour for words preceded by punctuation. It won't handle words preceded by two punctuation characters, but I haven't found any of these in my collection. The titles above become Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps) Only The Bones (Will Show) which seems more consistent to me. I wasn't sure where the local version of capwords should go, so making it an inner function seemed to be a good way of not polluting any name spaces. I hope this is useful.

Error in ubuntu version of pytone
by Marcus Franke 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Hello, I have a small problem getting pytone running after installing it via synaptic on my ubuntu. Ubuntu installs a global pytonerc in /etc/ and a personal in your home directory. I configured the values for the music and the database directory, but pytone kept claiming that the value of the directory was still empty. It is so, that pytone seems to read the values of the global config file and ignores the settings in my ~/.pytonerc file. Marcus

ANN: PyTone 3.0.0-pre1 released
by Joerg Lehmann 30 Jan '07

30 Jan '07

Hi PyToners! I just uploaded a pre-release for the next major PyTone version. It can be found under http://www.luga.de/pytone/download/PyTone-3.0.0-pre1.tar.gz It contains a completely new database code based on the SQLite database. I thus recommend using the latest Python version with a corresponding built-in binding. Note that the migration of old databases will not be supported. The same holds true (at least currently) for setups with more than one database. Remote database are completely untested, and currently not supported, as well. The new database code should be much more performant and already allows a couple of nice things which had been impossible before. Furthermore, I used the opportunity to include more metadata in the database. Speaking of metadata, the preferred (read: most tested) ID3 decoder is the mutagen module· http://www.sacredchao.net/quodlibet/wiki/Development/Mutagen I also tested the interface to the eyeD3 decoder a little bit, but testing of the internal metadata decoder and of the Ogg vorbis code is mostly lacking (due to lack to time and song material). So please test extensively. I probably forgot a couple of other things since the code has been unreleased for much too long. So again: please test extensively. Enjoy, Jörg

Bug in config.py
by Alexander Wirt 21 Jan '07

21 Jan '07

Hi Jörg, today I had time to get a little bit deeper into pytone code to fix a bug that anoyes me for ages. Pytone throws an hard to read exception if you don't set "musicbasedir", after looking into config.py I detected that there is check code for this case, but the code is broken :). if songdb == "local" and songdb.musicbasedir == "": in Line 895 has to be: if songdb.type == "local" and songdb.musicbasedir == "": After this change the code will behave as expected and we get a nice errormessage ;).

Audioscrobbler plugin and .ogg files
by fred/eric 13 Dez '06

13 Dez '06

I just noticed that ogg files that were submitted through the audioscrobbler plugin were always reported as being 'too short' by last.fm. Looks like song.length is a float for oggs, and it seems that last.fm can't handle those. Since I ripped my entire collection of cd's to ogg, I decided to fiddle with this, and changing lines 100-102 in scrobbler.py to: def submit(self, song): self.sendInfo(song.artist, song.title, song.album, int(song.length), song.lastplayed[-1]) seems to work. All done by intuition, I haven't actually looked at the AS protocol, or at what the song.length of mp3s (which did and do work) returns, so if someone's gonna check this in I guess they should take a little care. I'll have a more detailed look when I get a little time myself, I just thought I'd mail this for the benefit of anyone else with oggs using the audioscrobbler plugin. Also: Just started using pytone yesterday, but it already ranks highly in my ever growing list of players. (right now I'm switching back and forth between it and quodlibet, which is also pretty cool) cheers, -- - eric casteleijn http://www.last.fm/user/thisfred/

Hi Jörg, the patch didn't help unfortunately :( I tried "byte_format = 1" as well but it had the same effect: NULL ... Anything else I can try?

I think Alex was exactly speaking about includes, which, as you said, are not supported by the ConfigParser module. Jörg
