Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

Another suggestion... adding a folder browsing mode (show all music files under a specific folder)

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

Is it possible to play via a2dp.

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

I know how to change youamp to add possibility play via a2dp.
Will be nice add this to official sources.

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

Very nice player with excellent id3v2 utf-8 tag support, thanks!

How about simple playlist support? It would be very useful feature when using n8xx as a car music player...

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

Is last.fm scrobbling currently working? How will the new policy affect this issue?

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

I am currently working on Playlist support.

the new policy does not affect scrobbling, so that still works :)

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

will it allow one to add files outside of the defines dir? i have files spread over both SD cards of my N800.

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

just to let you know, that I am doing something. It is possible to add files from both SD cards and the home folder. But I am not statisfied with the UI yet.
So the next release will have the Playlists disabled and will just contain some usability fixes for the N810 and server primarily to test the new code.

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

youamp is a fantastic player-keep up the good work

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

hey, first off let me reiterate the sentiment expressed be many others on this forum that youamp is absolutely THE BEST player out there for the n series. so much so that I have become completely spoiled and reliant on its ability to simply play my music without forcing me to wade through screen after screen and tap my finger for the obscene load times that seem a trademark or every other player available.
thus I find myself in auditory agony since the latest update caused that pretty pink Y to stop doing anything. ive reflashed my n800 in the hopes of resolving this terrible dillema, but alas. my terminal output remains:

python problems? glade? where is my sweet simplicity?

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

sorry for the inconvenience. this looks like a bug in the previous version which was triggered by the new one.
Try "rm ~/.musicdb" - you will lose your playcounts and it will require a reindex but this should fix your problem.

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

Please don't mess with being able to play from a "search"...

Your program rocks! (no pun intended) :D

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

hi i tried to install latest version 951.1 but it installs and nothing happens -the first update was fine but this one has a bug-tried with and withour extra-devil----what should i try next

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

That did the trick, thanks MadMan, back to bliss.

Yukop, I'd venture a guess you're having the same trouble, give it a shot

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

when you say try "rm ~/.musicdb" -where do you insert this line and how

cheers ed

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

open the terminal, under utilities in the panel.

However, on further reflection this has only solved the problem per-instance of launching Youamp. after closing the program it wont run without again deleting the database.

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

hi i think i will wait till it is problem solved-pity because it is the best player out there

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

if the latest version from extras does not work for you, you can try now 0.6.0beta2 from extras-devel. This should fix the problems mentioned here...

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

Does this require "Red Pill' mode?

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

no. but you should only try it if you have problems with the current version in extras. And in this case it is still better to post the error message here - maybe your error is not yet fixed in extras-devel...

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

0.6.0b2 crashes on my N800 (latest firmware) with the following message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/youamp-player", line 3, in <module>
import youamp.controller
File "debian/youamp/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/youamp/__init__.py", line 39, in <module>
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/media/mmc1/.media-ar'

Any ideas?

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

it has a bug -it is being attended to-still well worth the wait as this player is one of the good things about the whole maemo adventure

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

No doubt. I like MediaBox, but I really wanted something like YouAmp for music playback. I look forward to a fixed release.

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

ok, I think I got that bug. I just pushed youamp 0.6.0~beta4 to extras-devel and will promote it to extras when it is built.

you can read the whole announcement regarding 0.6.0 here:

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

Wow, that was fast! Thanks, MadMan, it's working very well on my tablet now. It even handles screen rotation gracefully. I'm just glad to have a player I can minimize.

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

great work -much appreciated --muchala graciola..........

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

Thanks, Madman, this is still my favorite music player!

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

+1
I'm thinkin' this guy's karma should be much higher for this outstanding effort...

I went back and thanked MadMan2k in previous posts. :)

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

just installed youamp and it reads all my music files fine but nothing plays.

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

Wow, looks like YouAmp is maturing nicely. It seems a lot of nice new features have been added. I had installed YouAmp a while back, but at the time it wasn't quite what I was looking for, so I uninstalled it. Now, I just installed the new version (.6b4); however, unfortunately it crashes on my N800 each time I try to launch it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but same result. Here is what I get:

Anyone else had this problem? Any ideas? Thanks..

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

Madman, I don't know if others are having my problem. Many of my MP3 songs have screwed up tags so that for "Title" it displays "Track 14". Can you add to "Preferences" a box that causes the "Title" to display the file name instead? Also, if that box is clicked, could you remove the "Artist" and "Album" columns? Thanks!

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

I have 0.6.0~beta4-1. It took me a while to figure out how to work with Playlists, so I'm going to post what I discovered here. Forgive me if this is incorrect / obvious / covered elsewhere in this thread.

CREATING A PLAYLIST
1. Go to menu / Playlist and tap on "New Playlist" (bottom option if there are many)
2. It should give you an opportunity to enter the name of the playlist.
3. You can tap and hold on the name of the playlist to either add files to that playlist or change the name of the playlist or delete the playlist.

MY WISH LIST (Madman, feel free to cherry-pick / ignore as you see fit):
* Rename the item menu / Playlist / New Playlist to "Create New Playlist". Otherwise, if you create a bunch of new playlists and don't edit the name, you have multiple items called New Playlist in the same menu & it's confusing.
* If I tap & hold to rename a playlist, that name change isn't reflected in menu / Playlist until I restart YouAmp.
* Rename the "Add" option in the playlist's tap and hold menu to "Add Tracks" or something to clarify that you're adding to that playlist rather than adding a new playlist to the system.
* If I choose "Add" twice, the second "Add" doesn't remember what folder I was in for the first "Add". Remembering the folder would be nice.
* It would be nice to be able to add files to a playlist from within YouAmp. For example, browse or search to display a bunch of tracks, highlight a bunch of them, tap and hold, choose Add to Playlist and then choose the playlist (either via a submenu or a separate dialog).
* It's not obvious that I can tap and hold on the playlist name. What about putting your little down arrow icon next to it for a pull-down menu? Perhaps the first few options could be Add, Rename, Delete, but after that you could just list the other playlists.

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

thanks for the good suggestions. I have noted them on my todo for youamp and will certainly come back to them, the next time I work on YouAmp.

you can already add single tracks to the currently selected playlist using the hold and tap menu for tracks. Unfortunately hold-and-tap somehow conflicts with multiple selection - so you have add tracks oneby-one-right now...

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

A sad day for me and YouAmp! It wouldn't read music from my new 32GB flash drive!

Longer story:
1. A while ago, I got an ativa 4GB flash drive and an OTG USB cable. I plugged these into my N810. File manager recognized the USB drive &, when I pointed YouAmp to the flash drive (saved preferences, restarted YouAmp), YouAmp read music files from it.
2. Now, I've purchased a Kingston Patriot 32GB flash drive. I plugged it in using the same cable. File Manager recognizes it. MediaBox reads music from it. But when I point YouAmp to it, the next time I start YouAmp it updates for just a few seconds and then I'm looking at a blank music library. :-(

Perplexing. I would really prefer to use YouAmp b/c it's so much more straightforward than MediaBox. All MediaBox's bells & whistles will waste time for me and make my wife hate my N810 even more. :) But right now I'm stuck.

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

I just downloaded 0.6.0. When I start it it continually displays "Updating database" - which never goes away. I can preform some functions, but it never lists any of the music in the directories I select and hence can't do anything useful with it. Too bad because it looks like a nice player without all the extra fluff.

George

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

In "Preferences", "General" choose a folder for "Music Folder" that actually contains music files. First click on the drive or memory card, then click on "other" to choose a folder. All of my music are mp3 files and I have no problems with version 0.6.0.

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

Yep, that's what I did. I selected Browse and drilled down from there and nothing shows up. The other players I've tried have no problem listing my mp3 files.

Also why does it continually display "Updating database" at startup?

George

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

When I "browse" the "music folder" I do not "see" any individual music files. After I click on "close" I get the "Updating database" message.

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

Oh, well then how do you select a file to play?

George

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

When I run the app, all of my songs show up below the "Title, Artist, Album" heading. The first song is highlighted and I click on the play button. All songs are played, one after the other.
