Hi all,
the title says it all :)
I downloaded the new Pytone-2.2.3 and installed it on 2 machines (PC & laptop both running Gentoo) and it works like a charm on the notebook but *not* on the PC :(
On the PC it refuses to play any music listed in the playlist even if I use Alt+Enter on a highlighted item ... except I use '-d ~/.pytone/pytone.debug'!!! Then it starts to play the music without any problem :)
Another problem is that I am not sure if it makes sense that I attach a debug-file because then it works :) I attach my pytonerc anyway ...
Any other idea what is going wrong?

Sounds like a race condition, especially since it works when enabling the debug file.

Yes, that's really not so nice from a debugging point of view. Still, oe simple piece of information you could send me is the output of the info window (simply press !)

Hi Jörg,
sorry that I come back so late but I did not have access to the machine ...
Here is what the info-window gives me:
Using configuration from file(s) /etc/pytonerc-2.2.3, /home/swimmer/.pytone/pytonerc 12:02:53 PyTone 2.2.3 startup 12:02:53 Ogg Vorbis support enabled 12:02:53 using eyeD3 module for id3 tag parsing 12:02:53 flac support disabled, since flac module is not present 12:02:57 database main: basedir /mnt/mp3, 4754 songs, 514 artists, 271 albums, 33 genres, 0 playlists 12:02:59 initialized oss mixer: device /dev/mixer, channel 4
Nothing spectacular as far as I can see?

Absolutely not. Seems like up to this point everything went smoothly. What happens if you start the player, i.e. try to play a song?

Nothing happens - this is the point :-/
It does not play music and it does not show anything more in the info-window ...
Sorry that I can't give you more information :(

My very personal wishlist for Pytone ;-) ======================================== * BPS recognition Show the bits per seconds from a song in the MP3 info window
* Indicate time when playlist will stop Show not only the entire time a playlist will last but as well the daytime it will end :)
* Modifiable playlists Modify/delete playlists
* Pause between tracks
* Some sort of replaygain -- Stefan Wimmer swimmer@xs4all.nl

Is the song at least marked as played in the playlist?
Have you tried another player (like mpg123 or xmms)?

- BPS recognition Show the bits per seconds from a song in the MP3 info window
In my opinion, such a thing should be handled by an external program which writes a corresponding ID3 tag. Of course, PyTone then would need to learn about such tags...
- Indicate time when playlist will stop Show not only the entire time a playlist will last but as well the daytime it will end :)
You can already get information about the start time of the last song in the playlist using
[playlistwindow] songformat=[%(playstarthours)2d:%(playstartminutes)02d:%(playstartseconds)02d] - %(artist)s - %(title)s
But that's still not exactly what you want. Putting the information in the title of playlist window would certainly be possible.
Modifiable playlists Modify/delete playlists
Pause between tracks
Some sort of replaygain
All good ideas, but my time currently is rather limited. I try my very best to answer support requests and to incorporate patches sent to me. And from time to time I add one or the other feature, mostly the ones which are easy to implement...

I have exactly the same problem. If I do not start with -d something or debugfile set pytone refuses to play songs. It started a month ago and I tried to debug it several times but always reverted to enabled debugging.
Any guidance to resolving it would be helpful :)

The only explanation I currently have is that this is a race condition during the PyTone startup.
Maybe a first start for debugging this problem would be to add some log.info calls in the player code (hoping that this doesn't influence the race ;-)). A first try would be to replace all log.debug by log.info calls in src/services/players/internal.py. Let's see what happens...
