Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

Oh, OK thanks. That's good.
Apologies, I wasn't clear. I'm not still using panucci on a N800. I do have a N900. I meant I had started using gpodder/panucci on my trusty old N800 a long time ago (and this "feature" has always been present).

Will maybe check out the extras devel release. I suppose it is pretty stable?

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

In my own experience, yes. :D
But I'm not the developer and there is a clear statement: It's a Alpha release!

So don't expect a stable software. From my own experience it feels more stable and finished than the old version from extras. But Bluetooth Buttons are currently not working.
So it's your decision. I missed the Bluetooth implementation and uninstalled the new Alpha, deactivated extra-devel and installed Panucci again to get the old version back. In my opinion it is save enought and worth a try. :)

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

Thanks, I will try. Seems like it was a good time to ask!

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

After testing the extras-devel panucci for a while I find that it will lock up the N900 if I leave it running (not touching the device i.e. sleeping :)) having finished a podcast.

Touching the screen lights the backlight but the screen remains black and the machine unresponsive, resolvable only by popping the battery.

Have returned to the extras panucci for now and the problem hasn't repeated.

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

Oh, I have this strange behavior since several days, too. Sometimes my N900 won't wake up, I couldn't turn it off and had to remove the battery. But I wouldn't have Panucci suspected. I thought my device has a ageing phenomena.
After looking closer... at my device pulseaudio keeps sometimes at 22% CPU usage even if I had stoped the audio playback. But this happens not every time. That's strange. :confused:

Currently I'm using Panucci 0.3.17 (because of the great working bluetooth support) - I will keep a lid on that.

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

I encountered something similar on my N900 while using Panucci (0.3.17) a few days ago. The podcast I was listening to kept on playing, but the phone responded to nothing else. Headphoned wouldn't stop the playback on disconnecting headphones, but it switched to speakers and back to headphones properly when connecting / disconnecting the headphones. Even long press on power button to power off wouldn't work, I had to pull the battery. I don't have sshd running so I couldn't get in to see what's going on.

I didn't associate it with Panucci then, and it might well have been something completely different. Never seen anything like this before though.

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

Pretty sure the Panucci alpha is to blame. The problem hasn't repeated since returning to 0.3.17.

Hi
Finally got 0.9 to install. And have I missed something - in menu there is now just playlist & about. What about open etc.

Thanks

Scott

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

0.9 iss still in Alpha state. Please deinstall panucci, deactivate Extra-Devel ans install panucci again. :)

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

No need to deactivate/activate repositories. You can also install old version directly from terminal:

Type as a root in terminal:
apt-cache policy panucci (to show available versions)
apt-get install panucci=0.3.17 (to install)
