I've got to say Thank You for footify. A working spotify client was the only thing I missed on my n900. The only thing missing is offline play for the long car rides.

Oh, working automated updates, sweet! Thank you for reporting this. I spent way too much time trying to make it work with the repository, so I'd be really bummed if this didn't work.

Offline mode might show up if despotify gets this functionality. I don't know if I'll have the time (and knowhow) to implement this in a good way.

I'm glad you like it.

Hopefully the maintainers of those clients get the time to compile against the latest despotify library to make them work again. It's always good with alternatives.

So remember to maintain this with the newest despotify lib whenever their releases are if you want people to continue being able to use this? Maybe we could get the desptoify lib as an other package, so it could easily be updated all the time?

There is already a despotify package for the library and some simple client. As far as I know, this has been patched with new client version identifiers but it still might not work.

But, since there already is a package with that name, I can't create a new one (unless I get creative with the package name). Either the original maintainer gets up to speed and releases an update compiled with the latest despotify source or you are stuck with my solution.

I like your client, but as said before it would be nice with offline playlist

See answer in previous message.

and i cant find my starred collection either with your client, And the mockup gui was really cool cant wait to see it in action

I have no idea how special playlists are handled by despotify. If the despotify gang adds this kid of handling, I'll see about using it in footify.

footify in portrait mode will have to wait until I upgrade to PR1.2 and understand how one should handle "the turn" properly.

I'm glad you like it.

I also like the mockup which florian did. I don't have any further proposals but the original Spotify client for Symbian is very nice and usable imo. See the attached image

A green Spotify footprint, yes.

The mockup is for portrait mode and this will have to wait a bit. I agree on it looking usable so this is most likely the path I'll follow.

Hello Joorin. I installed newest version of Footify. I started it but after I clicked login it crashed. Output after starting it via Xterm:

Code:

/home/user/MyDocs/Downloads # /home/opt/footify/usr/bin/footify.sh
footify-0.0.5
Home directory /home/user not ours.
Segmentation fault
/home/user/MyDocs/Downloads #

I tried Yaspot and it worked perfectly. Didn't like UI thought...

Could you perhaps supply the output from

Code:

ls -al /home

I read this error message as if you've changed the ownership of the /home/user directory from user:users to something else and this makes some component complain. I am not responsible for the error message, the only thing of mine here is the "footify-0.0.5" line.

I have no idea which component, though.

As far as I know I have not changed ownerships in my file system.

Then I have no idea whatsoever what is wrong.

Version 0.0.6-1 is getting closer now. I've made some small changes, fixed end of playlist without Repeat (causing the client to hang) and have a better Shuffle going that actually works from time to time.

There are still issues but I'm hoping I can leave the alpha status soon with at least almost finished functionality everywhere.
