Hi. Winamp 2.x skins are pretty easy to understand and use (it just a bunch of images with transparent colors). Maybe would it possible to integrate them somehow easily with Sonata?

In the old stable sonata version there was ".." and "/" in the filesystem view, which allowed for quick navigation through the music library with the keyboard, which I personally was using heavily. This is missing now and I don't think there are equivalent intuitive shortcuts.
I'd like to see some possiblity to navigate through the filesystem view with the keyboard, e.g. by reintroducing ".." and "/".

I noticed a singularity if the folder name is CD1, CD 1, Disk1 or Disk 1 (I don't know, maybe there are more additional specific names) - the images don't displays from the folder in Sonata
as a temporary solution - renamed all multi-disc edition to 1CD, 2CD..

Today I ran mpd, ncmpcpp and sonata and everything worked fine. Then, after running pacman -Syu and it updating mpd, I tried to start sonata again. I'm now getting this error. I haven't run pacman -Syu for some weeks.

Maybe it's an already known issue, but at each playlist update (deleting songs or adding new ones) the list returns automatically to the top.

Hi,

As Gnome user, I would love to see a native notification popup for the song changes. Any chance of this happening?

I unrolled a quick workaround, slap this at line 180 of misc.py

try:
    x.encode('utf-8')
except UnicodeDecodeError:
    return 'workaround'

But this should be handled properly.
Btw im intrested in giving sonata new life, feel free to contact me if you need another coder :)

A search about the artist or album always open en.wikipedia.org even
if the article exists in fr.wikipedia.org. And it seems impossible to
setup this. It would be nicer that the search starts with the french
language (system one) and then continue with the english one if no
answer...

Sonata crashes for me pretty regularly with an error like this. It seems to happen when the song changes, and not during, and seems more common with large playlists.

*** Error in `python3': double free or corruption (out): 0x00007f3e3c0015c0 ***
Aborted (core dumped)

I'm using Linux Mint 17 64-bit with Python 3.4.0 and Sonata 1.7a2-49-g1d75 pulled from git.

If you need more info or help debugging, let me know and I'll do what I can.

In addition to loop whole playlist I'd be good to have an option/flag to loop single song from current playlist.

Let me first say that I really appreciate all the efforts that are going into Sonata. It's a great mpd client and I will not start using another client, no matter the outcome of this issue.

With that said, I think Sonata's icon can be improved. Currently, it's a music note, which is a little bit boring, to be honest, and also, there are lots of other music players that use the same music note more or less.

Now, I'm a guy who likes aesthetics but can't make icons himself. My proposition is to attract graphic designers by mentioning this on the README.md.

When Sonata is launched while a track with no lyrics and no covers is playing, Sonata tries to download the matching lyric/cover several times in a row:

$ sonata -v
[2013-01-13 16:03:21] mpd: Calling MPD connect('localhost', 6600, timeout=None)

[2013-01-13 16:03:24] sonata.artwork: Looking for covers for 'Darwinia Soundtrack: Listen To Us' from 'Various Artists' (using covers_lastfm)

This is not acceptable for several reasons:

• it should not have this behavior : Sonata must request the lyrics and the cover only once per-track
• it impacts performances on the user machine by launching useless tasks
• it impacts the remote server by doing too much requests in a row. In particular, it seems lyricswiki bans the IP addess for a while (or so they say) if there are too many requests in a short interval.

after editing display the tabs on the context menu (rotation, a music library, playlists, streams, information) is reset after reboot player ... exception is the local MTD tab, but the tab is determined by the plugin

Could you please add an Album Artist library view? I listen to a lot of compilations and having them split up between all their artists can get pretty annoying. Thanks.

maybe it's my local problem, but the program does not turn off when you press exit in the tray, after that you need to click button close in the window header, only after that the program will be closed

Hello, I'm using sonata 1.7a2-62-gace5e on linux mint, and want to report a little bug.
When in fullscreen mode, on song change the album cover is always substituted by the default cd image.

Suppose there is no lyrics for song: artista-title. I suspect there are lyrics for the song: artistb-title. Manually searching for artistb-title finds these lyrics but saves them as artistb-title.txt. (see logging file)

I think it is logical to save them under title artista-title.txt. This might also solve the problem that even when lyrics are found in the info window "lyrics not found" is shown and no lyrics are shown.

This worked correctly in the old version 1.6.2.1 that is, it worked correctly after I moved the line dialog.destroy() in main.py a few lines to the south.

When last.fm delivers a png file as an image for a cover of an album it is shown correctly (I think) but it is saved as a jpg. Subsequently this cover is not a legitimate cover image and will not be shown by sonata.

I found this out by looking in the cover directory and noticed that some pictures were not loadable by a viewer. Changing the extension from jpg to png made the image viewable by that viewer. From this I deduced what seems to be wrong (the first sentence beginning with "When last..... ".

Commit 5b24bb5 removed the fullscreenalbumimage, but left over a reference on line 518 of artwork.py:

context = self.fullscreenalbumimage.get_style_context() 

The callback on_dnd(...) in current.py is never called.
On drag-and-drop playlist reording, signal 'drag-begin' is triggered, but instead of 'drag_data_received', we always get 'drag-failed'.

Please integrate player in Unity sound menu.

Maybe README.rst instead? README.old was removed few days ago :)

I have a 10000+ entries playlist, which makes sonata take a long time to start up (I couldn't wait, just kill -9ed it...)

I'm afraid that everything is broken ... can not connect to the MPD

I noticed one unpleasant feature... if you move through your music library and browse to the folder and name has more than ~70 characters... window automatically becomes wider horizontal... I do not know, maybe it's a feature gnome 3.8, but in other applications such behavior was not observed

Sonata seems to work fine on OS X with homebrew. I did have to change one line of code to make it work (see below). My notes:

1. Installed the Sonata dependencies:

   brew install mpd
   brew install python3
   brew install gtk+3
   brew install --with-python --with-python3 pygobject3
   pip3 install python-mpd2

   On 2014-08-17 this added (with a lot of dependencies):

   mpd 0.18.12
   python 3.4.1
   gtk+3 3.12.2
   pygobject3 3.12.2
   python-mpd2 0.5.3

2. Created a ~/.mpdconf file and restarted mpd.

3. Downloaded sonata from github. On first try, ./run-sonata exits with an error:

   File "/path-to-sonata/sonata/launcher.py", line 106, in run
     locale.bindtextdomain('sonata', locales_path)
   AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'bindtextdomain'

   In sonata/launcher.py

   locale.bindtextdomain('sonata', locales_path)

   was changed to

   gettext.bindtextdomain('sonata', locales_path)

4. After this, ./run-sonata exits with a different error (not related to sonata):

   (run-sonata:99034): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser' is not installed

   Perhaps we only need the last line, but I ran the following three commands:

   brew install gsettings-desktop-schemas
   glib-compile-schemas /usr/local/Cellar/gtk+3/3.12.2/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
   export GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR=/usr/local/Cellar/gtk+3/3.12.2/share/glib-2.0/schemas/

   Then ./run-sonata.py launched on OS X (Mavericks) and connected to the local mpd server -- made my day!

5. As final touch: made a launcher app using the Applescript Editor, by saving the lines below as "Application" and updating the icon to something recognisable. (Note: any updates to gtk will need updates to the script)

   tell application "Terminal"
    do script "export GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR=/usr/local/Cellar/gtk+3/3.12.2/share/glib-2.0/schemas/; /path-to-sonata/run-sonata ; exit"
   end tell

After I try to save a new playlist from this, I do not see it in the list of playlists... old bug, it did not work in the old Sonata recently

It looks like gnome-settings-daemon needs to be running in order for multimedia keys to work. Is it possible to use multimedia keys without gnome-settings-daemon?

After clean install of sonata from source, using:

python2 ./setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local

Files and dirs which should go in /usr/local/share/ end up in

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Sonata-1.6.2.1-py2.7-linux-i686.egg/
sonata/share/{locale,man,pixmaps,foo}

when unfolding lyrics, and it does not fit in the screen you can not use the mouse scroll
for example:

Sonata lacks the ability to enable/disable the MPD outputs.

Suppose you have mpda and mpdb. Sonata is connected to mpda. If you change the connection to mpdb, your current queue, covers and other things stay unchanged. If you first disconnect from mpda and then connect to mpdb everything is as expected: the current playlist is correct. I tested this on 1.6.2.1 and on the latest sources: both show this behaviour.

Clean install from git, on fresh Arch Linux; /usr/bin/python -> python3

As i already have quite all the covers of my albums in the directories
with the music, i use them first. The problem is that some of them are
quite big, because if i normally resize them to 300x300 (the good size
for my mp3 player) somme are not.

And in the infos tab, the image is not resized at all, so all the text
is pushed out of the window!

It should be nice to be able to define the max size of this image, as
well as the smaller one on the left top.

I can see no harmful side-affects of these tracebacks, but they do occur...
When sonata is invoced, music is indeed playing and there is a cover.jpg
is the song's directory.

Since somewhere after the change to gtk3 it won't launch again on Arch Linux

You can also see someone else having problems at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sonata-fork-git/ I am the packager and it seems that user didn't report here, so I did now that I had time.

Not sure if it's a problem in Sonata or with the shift from python-mpd to python-mpd2

I think that it is necessary to change the limit to ~ 270 of pixels horizontally... it would be perfect for the aesthetic appearance in English, Russian and Ukrainian translation of application. Also think it is necessary to reduce the distance between the buttons multimedia controllers.

All my music has the lyrics in its tags. Sonata still downloads it and stores in in ~/.lyrics. There does not seem to be a way to circumvent that behaviour.

when the second part of the window is active, does not work minimize to tray by clicking on it

While testing #78, I created a new connection via the Preferences window, but the new connection never appeared in the popup window when right-clicking in Sonata and selecting the "Connection" entry.

After restarting Sonata, the new connection was here, though.

Hi,

I'm on Gentoo Linux. I have taglib and tagpy installed but sonata seems to cannot found those. I don't know how to debug that because sonata does not echoing anything on the console.

As for the "sonata --hidden --fullscreen", can you open another pull request if you have a fix?

I don't have a fix. To do it cleanly, and without redundant code, one would somehow have
to detect that the dbus.execute_remote_commands() call in Args.parse() didn't succeed
to connect to dbus, and that it chose to "[start] Sonata instead" (have a return code from it?)
Then after sonata has started properly, that call should be re-made.

Sonata seems to not save my active plugins at close. It starts and restores following default active plugins, LyricWiki and Local MPD, which I have disabled twice.

Maybe a permissions issue?

after upgrading to Gnome 3.10 increasingly falls error associated with withdrawn... symptom - after you close the application and restart it in the settings withdrawn is set to the True and the application runs as a transparent framing applications with the ability to close it... I have to change the value of drawing on false by hand... cause is not known, reproduced periodically

need to integration with the gnome 3.10... most likely a problem with new version gtk (3.10.2) or pygobject (3.10.2)... distorting display in the playlist, everything stands out when go through the mouse... when I run the application it crashes with this error, if not then when you select a track from the playlist:

I have been noticing a bug with display and volume control in Sonata after upgrade to Gnome 3.12. I'm not sure, maybe it was provoked by the other updates when gnome was updated.

There are a few plugins' repositories out there, a quick search on Github gives the following results:

• https://github.com/github076986099/sonata-plugins
• https://github.com/dicson/sonata-plugins
• https://github.com/KL-7/sonata-plugins

I think I saw a few in Gitorious, but I can't find them right now.

It seems there's some code for limited support of this kind of repository in https://github.com/multani/sonata/blob/master/sonata/pluginsystem.py#L11

If we'd like to have more of those and to encourage plugins, it might be a good idea to improve the code and the UI to support this goal.
The code must be able to deal with several repositories, and several identical plugins.
