[application] qtPianobar
qtPianobar
Is a qt 4.6 based c++ gui for the pianobar command line application Why a GUI and also why another pianobar GUI We all know why we needed a GUI for the command line app. As to why I wrote another pianobar GUI when fatal had already written one. Well the fact is we started writing them at the same time. He went python Qt, I went Qt 4.6 native C++, mostly because I wanted to see what all the fuss was about with Qt and I needed to dust off my c++ skills. Features
Things to do
Known issues Right now the app assumes you have a config file in /home/user/.config/pianobar with the username and password fields uncommented and filled out with your pandora login. It also assumes that you have NOT customized the controls. If you dont have these things then it wont work - simple as that. For those of you who don't know what the config looks like - here is is Code:
# This is an example configuration file for pianobar. You may remove the # from Why Qt Like it or not - this is where maemo is going. Figured I better get on board early. I also chose Qt 4.6 because the libs are optified and wont chew up your root partition (The app is also optified) How I have put it into the queue for extras devel but for some reason its not processing - this is not altogether unusual. In the meanwhile you can grab it from http://thecrayonbox.org/files/N900/q....0-1_armel.deb You will also need to do from a command line. apt-get install libqt4-maemo5-core apt-get install libqt4-maemo5-gui though if the package is working correctly it should prompt you for those packages.

Re: [application] qtPianobar
Looks awesome dude! Why the change of default pianobar controls?
I really like your rendition of the design... its simplistic and yet perfectly functional. Definitely the optified libs are the way right now until pyqt4 gets there. ETA: Actually, I dont see any customized controls in your config?? What do you mean? Quote:

Re: [application] qtPianobar
Finally got this thing to build an should be in extras-dev shortly. Be happy if people would vote for it to get it into extras-testing. It includes a truly horrible icon, I will be very happy to accept suggestions/replacements for both the icon and the app in general.
Please note all standard warning messages about how installing stuff from extras-dev can do horrible things to your phone apply (though with this app I cant see that happening) |
Re: [application] qtPianobar
Bratag what are the requirements for a icon (size & file type) I'll see if I can lend some assistance to you by making one.

Re: [application] qtPianobar
I installed qtpianobar 1.0-2 and it worked fine the first time that I used it and now anytime I launch it I cant do anything stations control is grayed out no music plays. I am running pianobar 1.1-1 and it runs fine from the command line auto logs in fine, I have not customized any controls, has anyone else experienced this, I hope someone can help me out I know this is not much to go on is there any sort of debug output that I can get from the app.
