Glad the fm transmitter option is there.

Wish there was a delete option though as its a pain to have to manually delete the podcasts after listening to them.

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

Hmm, I don't have files that are that long unfortunately. How does the skipping happen? You don't accidentally touch the progress bar, right? What about the built-in media player? Does it do the skipping, too?

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

Good idea! Please file it as a feature request in the bug tracker :)

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

bugs.maemo.org according to nikosapi (just asked on IRC).

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

Thanks. When you get some time, you might want to update the bugtracker links on http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/panucci/ and http://panucci.garage.maemo.org/. (Maybe I should file a bug about this!)

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

When i load like 15 hours long mp3 and move seek bar to ~30 minutes it simply stops and looks like the file is over. I cant really explain it better.

Panucci will not start - any ideas ?
 

Hello
I like Panucci but since the last update it will not startup.
I already installed Gpodder and reinstalled Panucci.
Any Ideas ?
Greetings
Solderer

If i start in X-Term :

Re: Panucci will not start - any ideas ?
 

Seems like there's some error with the file paths. Please send me the file ".panucci.sqlite" in $HOME via private mail and then remove that file so you get Panucci working again (you will, however, lose all the saved positions for your files).

Re: Panucci will not start - any ideas ?
 

Thanks for the quick answer :-))
Sorry I am not able to find the file. I am new to Linux perhaps i am searching on the wrong place ?
Greetings Solderer

/home $ ls .panucci.sqlite
ls: .panucci.sqlite: No such file or directory
/home $

Re: Panucci will not start - any ideas ?
 

Look in /home/user/

Re: Panucci will not start - any ideas ?
 

Ok found the file.
Is gainroot realy nessesary to do it?

You have to have installd X-Terminal and the gainroot option.

After removing the file Panucci is starting again :D

Greetings
Olaf

In X-Terminal do:

BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso26+0m5) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

~ $ sudo gainroot
Root shell enabled


BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso26+0m5) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

/home/user # ls .pan*
.panucci.m3u .panucci.sqlite

# This does the trick by deleting the file but will remove all old resumes !!!!!!!!!

/home/user # rm .panucci.sqlite

/home/user # ls .pan*
.panucci.m3u

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

BTW, I was recently re-reading this post earlier in this thread re: adding creating playlists within Diablo:

Adding directories from the GUI sounds good! But is there going to be a Panucci 0.4 for Diablo?

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

is the fact panucci cant open files from the memory card a known bug? the app is in fremantle extras and this would seem like a massive oversight?

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

What happens when you open a file from the memory card? Can you please file a bug at bugs.maemo.org, in the Extras/Panucci product?

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

Yes. Actually a testing version of Panucci 0.4 has been available for Diablo for a long time (this package on that thread does NOT work in Fremantle, please don't try it): http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=29583

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

Nothing happens because you just can't do it - the file browser doesn't go below /home, so unless you add a symlink somewhere there's no way to browse to /media/mmc1.

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

I have now tried four different files that are all 15 hours +. Two of them have worked flawless, and two have problems. It's funny, 'cuase the first one jumped ahed when started, and the second one have jumped back. The amount of time it jumpes seems random. It does not behave like this in the built in media player, but that doesn't have continued playing, so it's hard to say that it any different.

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

Might it be a VBR/CBR issue?

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

I have no idea. I'm not a techie... To make the whole thing more understandable (if you did'nt read my first reply):

It's when I have listned to a file, and then shut down panucci, and start it again. The time is correct, but when I press play, it makes a jump.

All files have been ripped from cd by me on the same computer with the same program, and then merged into one big file by me in the same program, so nothing there.

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

Which version of Panucci are you using (and on a N8x0 or on a N900)? I just tried putting a MicroSD card into my N900 and I was able to go all the way to the "top" (with the button in the upper left corner of the dialog) and see two entries: My N900 and the SD card.

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

Yes, it could be a problem with VBR (variable bit rate). Basically with a constant bitrate (CBR), the decoder can basically jump to the right position in the file by multiplying the bitrate with the position. With variable bitrate, this is not really possible, because the time does not map 1:1 to the data position in the file (because the bitrate is.. variable).

Can you go back to the exact position once playback has started?

Also, can you try to rip the CDs again with CBR (constant bitrate) mode and try to reproduce the problem, so we can be sure that the problem here is with variable bitrate files? You should be able to configure which mode (VBR or CBR) you want to use in the "encoder options" or "MP3 options" or "codec settings" of the application that you use for ripping the CDs. Also be sure to not re-encode the files in VBR mode when stitching the files together.

Edit: You can use a program like MP3 Diags to open your existing MP3 files and check if they are CBR or VBR.

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

I can go to the exact position after the jump, and have already gotten used to look at the exact time when I start
Panucci.

MP3 Diags is a linux-only program, and I have windows. If you give me your mail I could sprend the file to you. It is protected by copyright, but if you promise to delete it, and not listen to the swedish audio book (I'm guessing you don't speak a word Swedish?) I don't think that maemo.org would disapprove of this, do you?

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

This is on a N900, and is version 0.3.9-5. The file browser starts up in /home/user and I can only go up to /home - the up button greys out after that (and doesn't respond).

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

You can send files to thp@gpodder.org.

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

I really can't reproduce this here. I also don't see any resemblance of the filesystems in file chooser dialogs, just two roots (one for MyDocs and one for the SD card, if inserted). I don't know how you see "/home/user" and "/home" in that dialog.

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

When merging a new file now, I saw the option to use vbr, but I unchecked, and will see if it makes a difference. If not, I'll sprend you the file.

Thank you for really providing help in this community!

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

I've had a dig around, and the problem seems to be that settings.py sets the last_folder to '~' by default. This is then used to set the start directory for the file browser. Once this is reset to somewhere within MyDocs (e.g. by opening a file from there), the browser will work as normal. I'd suggest setting the default to MyDocs (or None, if that doesn't cause issues elsewhere) instead.

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

Panucci 0.3.12 will be in Extras-Testing soon: http://maemo.org/packages/view/panucci/

Some highlights:

• Fix the SD card issue (default to /home/user/MyDocs)
• Support for BT headset buttons (please test - bug 8283)
• Update the bugtracker URL in debian/control
• Add missing python-osso dependency
• Show the correct app version in about (bug 9815)
• Use the Hildon-Extras About Dialog (bug 9814)
• Use Maemo 5-styled confirmation dialog (bug 9818)

Now it's (again) your turn: Test it and then vote and report any bugs you find :)

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

I have now sprended the file to you. Without VBR in the merging, Panucci behaves very unreliable with the file. It doesn't start exactly right when opened, and jumpes worse than ever when pressing play.

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

I tried to download it, but it was too big to be downloaded in a realistic timeframe, and now it does not seem to let me re-download it :/

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

Sprend only allows one download. I'll send it again.

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

MP3Diags shows me that there are multiple streams in that file - maybe that's the reason why GStreamer can't handle seeking correctly?

Please try the following:

After that, try to play the OGG file in Panucci and see if you can reproduce that problem. This is a lossy conversion, but it should not matter that much with spoken word audiobooks.

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

Hi. Playing podcasts downloaded with gPodder through Panucci.

Panucci isn't displaying the podcasts cover art, even though it appears within gPodder and Media Player.

I am running:

gPodder 2.5-1
Panucci 0.3.13

Using 03.2010.02-8.203.1

Both potentially awesome bits of software!

Paul.

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

Running v0.3.13 on my N900, mainly as a player for gPodder as it resumes properly unlike the default player (so many thanks for that) and I've come across a couple of issues:

1. The "About" doesn't do anything
2. The option for "Automatic", "Landscape", "Portrait" doesn't save and always resets to "Landscape"
3. Sometimes if the cover art is too large, it covers the progress bar

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

This is a known bug, although I can't reproduce it on my device. Please subscribe to this bug report to get updated and share your input in case I have further questions to affected users:

https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10047

Yes, that's a known problem. I'm currently working hard on getting the source code up to speed again (and to support some more advanced gpodder.net-related functions and "position awareness" inside gPodder), but this could take a while, as the Maemo 5 is based on Panucci 0.3 (it's like a fork at the moment, although the maintainer for both "forks" is the same).

Repository for the development version: http://repo.or.cz/w/panucci.git

What this means is that work on the 0.3.x branch is mostly stopped - I'll probably fix some issues that are in the current 0.3.13 release, but other than that, I'm working hard on getting the next release out. It will take some time to "forward-port" the Maemo 5 specific changes to the new codebase, although I'm actively testing the new version (from the Git repo) on my N900 already :)

This should also be fixed in a future version.

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

I'll file this on bugs.maemo.org if I remember, but I thought I would just mention that I found that Panucci won't play files with a "#" in the filename.

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

After installing 1.2 I've experienced a bug in Panucci. I have set it to always be in landscape, but that setting works as the automatic setting, with Panucci changing orientation at every tilt. To set it to portait works, and so does automatic. It's only landscape that doesn't work.

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

Strutten, I'm experiencing exactly the same problem. Strangely there are basically no mentions about it... googled and this is the first post I found any info, unfortunately no solution :( hopefully this will get solved soon, because it's really annoying...

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

And I have now noticed that the same problem exists in Gpodder after 1.2.

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player
 

This is a bug. Please report it at http://bugs.maemo.org/ where it can easily be seen by the developers when they are working on the project - thanks!
