When plugging in an external drive and causing the library to unmask a
mount point with many (~10k) songs, Quod Libet chews CPU for a very long time.

Original issue 46 created by [email protected] on 2008-11-09T04:33:44.000Z:

With the 'Panned Browser' view active, I clicked on the 'Panned Browser
Preferences' button. Under 'custom', I used the remove button to remove
all the panes, and after all entries were removed, the 'remove' button was
grayed out. From there, I added my own panes, but there was no pane
highlighted and the 'remove' button was still grayed out. I then clicked
'Apply' without clicking on one of the newly added panes first. I then
tried to re-enter the 'Panned Browser Preferences', and the 'remove'
button was permanantly grayed out. Even with custom panes active, I could
not remove them.

This problem does not persist if I close the program and reload it.

When you rename many files at once in Ex Falso, the gtk.TreeView updates
after every single rename, causing the renaming process to choke.

If you rename 1-20 files the performance is ok, but if you select 120 songs
like I did and select them all to rename them to fix an incorrect artist
name for example, the performance is poor.

I've attached a simple patch for the file quodlibet/qltk/renamefiles.py
which fixes this.

Basically I added a self.view.freeze_child_notify() and
self.view.thaw_child_notify() before and after the rename process begins to
stop the tree from updating until the renaming is complete.

I tested the patch with a 95 song mass rename and it performed very well.

The diff is against the quodlibet-2.0.tar.gz release.

In Paned Browser view, if one opens up preferences from a fresh start the
custom field is set to one of the two presets ("genre, people, album" or

Attached is a patch against the Nov 14th, 2008 svn that fixes it. I
tested it on my machine running Ubuntu 8.10 and python 2.5.2 and it fixed
the crash and led to no problems. It is a fairly trivial patch so it
shouldn't be a big deal.

Original issue 22 created by reacocard on 2008-09-26T22:38:27.000Z:

I would like to see mutagen support accessing files over GIO/GVFS. The
latest pygobject bindings have support for gio[1], so this is theoretically
possible. One possible way to do this, if you do not wish to use the GIO
libraries directly, would be to allow a fileobj to be passed as an arg
along with the the filename/uri, and let users of the library take care of
creating the GIO fileobjs themselves. This approach also has the advantage
that it would work for any python file-like object.

Original issue 26 created by Danai.SaeHan on 2008-09-30T01:51:14.000Z:

Hello!

When I add a tag like "performer:piano = Jan Michiels", QL outputs "Jan
Michiels (Piano)". I would like QL not to capitalise the first letter of
the role, as I want to have my instruments in lowercase.

Reason is that I also plan to use e.g. "performer:Eugene Onegin = Thomas
Allen" in Tchaikovsky's opera "Yevgeni Onegin" (I'm still pondering whether
to use Yevgeni, Eugen or Eugene, aaargh).

However, there is another problem: tags seem to be always in lowercase, so
I get "Ruthild Engert (Nurse Filipyevna)" instead of "nurse Filipyevna".

Is it possible for the ":ROLE" tag to have capitals in it?

Best regards

Danai

Original issue 9 created by bengunnink on 2008-09-10T15:44:19.000Z:

This is only a personal preference, but I'd like the see vendor strings
(and anything else useful) exposed in the file properties .

e.g. If I view the properties for a flac file, I want to know what version
of flac it was encoded with. The same goes for just about every codec.

As a disclaimer, this is blatant foobar2000 fanboyism: I've learned to
love this behavior about foobar2000, and I find it hard to use Linux audio
players because they don't expose enough data about my files.

The attached screenshot is an example with a Lame-encoded MP3 file (I don't
have any flac files here at work)

Original issue 7 created by jkohen on 2008-09-08T19:55:56.000Z:

This patch causes the current stream to be rewound if the player's method
previous is invoked after the first 500 ms. of playback. Otherwise it uses
the previous behavior of switching to the previous song in the list.

This mimics the behavior of most physical CD and "audio file" players I've
seen, including the iPod. I think this behavior is helpful when you are
playing off the queue, where there is no easy way to rewind the current
song. Using the position bar for rewinding is relatively too cumbersome.

Feel free to adjust the threshold ― I personally find the current setting
pleasing.

Quod libet works fine when I am in "Owner" mode. In "User" mode,
however, there are no tracks in the Song List. The other panes in the
browser (Genre, People, Albums) all point to my music library.
In "Owner" mode, I can play any item in Genre, People, Albums by double
clicking; this I am unable to do in "User" mode. All I can do in "User"
mode is to add an item to "Queue", then highlight in "Queue" and then

Great music manager otherwise!

Original issue 21 created by pyroclasm924 on 2008-09-26T19:03:03.000Z:

To reproduce the problem:

• Begin playing streaming audio (for example,
  http://audio-ogg.ibiblio.org:8000/wcpe.ogg)
• Disconnect from the network
• Quodlibet stops playback and no longer responds.

It would be nice if it just paused/stopped playback.

Original issue 17 created by pschnebel on 2008-09-21T10:25:57.000Z:

I like it that --print-playlist dumps the filenams as URIs, but it's kinda
bad that I have to convert these URIs back to "real" filenames to feed them
back to quodlibet (e.g. for un-/queueing). So for all commands that can
take a filename as argument it would be nice if the filename could be an
URI. I think this just affects play-file, enqueue and unqueue.

Original issue 19 created by jmricker on 2008-09-24T19:22:25.000Z:

In my situation I had a MP3 file that:

Had more than one APIC tag value (Album Art)
Had no description set

This would mean that each APIC value would generate the same HashKey and
overwrite the one before:

(id3.py:15603) HashKey = property(lambda s: '%s:%s' % (s.FrameID, s.desc))

To ensure a unique HashKey, I included the Album Art type:

HashKey = property(lambda s: '%s:%s:%d' % (s.FrameID, s.desc, s.type))

This is a temporary fix since the uniqueness of type isn't guaranteed. I
will probably change it to a key based on a slice of the image data.

Original issue 37 created by djphazer on 2008-10-21T02:46:01.000Z:

If, for some reason, the backend can't access the audio device, the client
goes berzerk, encountering errors when attempting to play each song, and
skipping to the next, counting the skips in the skipcount along the way.
Luckily, there is a counter that stops this madness after 50 errors, but I
am left with 50 tracks with incremented skipcounts...

I would prefer if the skipcounts referred only to voluntary skips of a
song; it's more statistically useful that way. (Sometimes I like to filter
the library on songs that are rated high and have never been skipped,
indicating that I am always in the mood to listen to them.)

Original issue 39 created by Danai.SaeHan on 2008-10-28T05:16:34.000Z:

Hi

I'm currently tagging Carl Maria von Weber's opera "Der Freischütz", and
one of the performers is "Erika Köth" taking on the role of "Ännchen".

However, adding a tag "performer:Ännchen" doesn't work. Even worse, after
pressing the "save" button, QL will tell me that it can't write the
metadata into the Ogg file, either because it lacks read rights or because
it is corrupt. I am certain that the files are not corrupt, and they all
have the correct rights settings. Changing, adding or removing other tags
doesn't work either thereafter.

The weird thing is that the changes are cached for the first Ogg file in
the list. Restarting QL will show that one track with the added
information. The tools "ogginfo" and "vorbiscomment" however still show
the original tags, without those I just recently added. Reloading the
complete library will finally remove these tags from the cache.

Issue 1: if tagging has failed because of a so-called lack of rights, QL
shouldn't immediately cache the changes, because it suggests that the
changes, despite the warning message, have been applied nonetheless.

Issue 2: using umlauts or other accented characters shouldn't be a problem
for the Ogg tags, should it? And if it isn't supported at all, then please
check whether the tag names contain only ASCII characters and automatically
remove non-ASCII characters when saving the (Ogg) file.

Thank you for your time

Best regards

Danai

If one adds or removes any tag with quodlibet (or exfalso) from a
multichannel FLAC file, the number of channels always changes to two in
STREAMINFO. However, the "waveformatextensible_channel_mask" tag remains
unaffected.
This was done with version 2.0 of quodlibet with Mutagen 1.14 on files
encoded by FLAC 1.2.1 on Gentoo Linux. Quodlibet was compiled manually, not
through portage.

1. Assume a twenty-track tagless album.
2. Try to input TITLE tags for each of the files.
3. Get wrist injuries.

No, really. There should be a way to add tags sequentially without too
much effort. Personally I'd like a simple big text area where I can just
type one tag per line, ie.

Looking for Someone
White Mountain
Visions of Angels
Stagnation
Dusk
The Knife

=> Select "Add as: TITLE"
which would then apply the tags to the files.

The current "most efficient" way I've found is this:

1. Select first file in file selector
2. alt-A (Add tag)
3. type "TITLE" <return>
4. type title of a track
5. down arrow (next file)
6. goto 2

In album view, if two albums have the same name (even if the files reside
in different physical locations, or key information differs) they get
merged as one 'album'.

For me personally, the easiest and most effective fix would be to add a
date condition.

Where albumname is the same and date is the same, list the album.

Perhaps a more effective way would be a preference to allow people to pick
the tag or tags they wish to filter album view by to achieve the same results.

Example:

Assume distinct albums based on unique tags:

album

or

album AND date

or

album OR discid

etc

Original issue 6 created by jkohen on 2008-09-08T19:52:00.000Z:

This patch introduces two related changes. One hunk adds a method to
player/_base to pause playback, release the device (only tested against
gstreamer 0.10) and rewind the stream. The other hunk adds modifies the
multimedia key handler to invoke this method instead of doing the same
locally (except for releasing the device).

I find this useful when I want to work with JACK based applications after
I've been using QL with the Gstreamer-ALSA backend. JACK demands exclusive
access to the hardware device, which is locked by QuodLibet/ALSA, and I
don't want to close QL to have the device released.

I think it might make sense to use the stop method for all pause
operations, since QL doesn't have a stop button and many users don't have a
media stop button on their keyboards. If you think this should be
configurable, let me know and I can add the option.

This is an RFE. Sometimes the computed Disc ID for a FreeDB query does not match a disc, but a

A way out would be a facility to manually specify a Disc-ID (copied from Freedb.org) and retrieve
this disc. The UI for this might be shown in the error dialog that is shown in a no match situation.

The Search Browser has a very helpful list of recent searches accessible with a dropdown next to
the search strign entry. It even allows to contruct saved searches that act like a dynamic playlist.
This is all very nice, but there is a drawback. We don’t have a method of shuffling through
complete albums from a flat list.
So I like to use searches in the album list with the powerful syntax in combination with the nice
“Random Album” plugin. A bit clumsily I have to keep my searches jotted down outside of QL
because it forgets the search after a restart.

This is a bit too much for my brain to produce first thing in the morning:
&(artist=/Bach/, #(lastplayed>7 day), |(album=/[kc]antat[ae]/, filename=/[ck]antat[ea]/))

I thought giving the album list search box a dropdown similar to the search browser would solve
this issue, but there is not much space on the top of the album list sidebar. It would have to be
reorganized a bit.

I can think of a few ways:

• Omit the word “Sort” in the leftmost dropdown

[By artist] [ ............... | V ][clear] [prefs]

• Move the “clear” duster into the search field

[Sort by artist] [ .......... (clear) | V ] [prefs]

• Put the album list prefs somewhere else, I don’t know where
• Change the clear button into an item in the new dropdown menu.
• Make it two lines

[ Sort by artist ][ prefs ]
Search: [ ......................... | V ][clear]

last.fm considers you to have listened to a song once you have listened to

useful if quodlibet would update lastplayed after a similar fraction of the

outros that I don't always want to listen to, but if I want Last Played to
be accurate I have to either listen to the end or manually advance to 3
seconds before the end, rather than just hitting Skip once I've listened to
the majority of the song.

I was wondering why QL doesn't display performers like it's supposed
to do according to the wiki (wiki: Specs_VorbisComments) and when I
looked through the source I couldn't find that kind of thing is
supported (only the normal performer tags are apparently) by the
current version. I fixed it with a little patch which I'm posting here
as I haven't found a bugtracker for this project.
You can apply it via "patch < performers_patch.patch" from the sources
root directory.

As announced, here it is new galician (ILG-RAG norm) translation.

To tell it from AGAL norm translation it's named gl_ES.

You can read about galician language, why there are different
ortographic norms, etc:

Refreshing the song library at startup should be configurable.
When there are no new files refreshing is not needed. Also it can be done
manually.

This is a feature request.

At the moment the panes in the paned browser don't support conditional tags
and I think this would hugely improve the paned browser.

Example Usage:
I tag using the TPE2 tag (performer) for Compilations, but don't use the
tag when it's a normal album. On Foobar2000 on Windows I have a combined
column of Performer/Artist, which is easily done. So for quodlibet the sort
of thing I'd like to use is:

<album|<performer>|<artist>>

Many Thanks

Hi!

I would like to suggest an addition to the Wiki explaining the finer
details of the use of the "Part" and "Discsubtitle" tags. QL users usually
have a very large music library and tagging correctly from the start will
save us a lot of hours afterwards. :D

In the 1.0 series of QL I used the "Part" tag quite often to separate an
opera, ballet, or any other of my classical CDs into several "parts". They
were really parts of the album, and not subtitles as such.

Is there a difference between both tags? According to a mail in the ML [1]
there is. The reply on that email shows an example of the "part" tag.
However, in this example the "Part" tag is part of a "Title", i.e. one
level below in the hierarchy, whereas I have been using the "Part" as part
of an album, i.e. one level above the "Title" tag in the hierarchy.

Is this an example of how a user like me has misinterpreted the "Part" tag?

And are there other music players that use the Part and Discsubtitle tags
correctly, in just the same way as QL does?

Perhaps these questions, as well as the ML discussion [1] might provide
some inspiration for that Wiki article/paragraph.

I often hit ESC to close a dialog in Quod Libet, only to discover that ESC is not enabled as a
shortcut. I know of Alt-F4, but dismissing a dialog with ESC is pretty much a programmed motor
memory for me.

Please describe the problem thoroughly and accurately. If possible paste
the contents of the ~/.quodlibet Dump or MiniDump file associated with the
problem.

I would like to be able to filter out albums with just a few songs from the
album view. When I am viewing by album I am usually looking for a
significant chunk of music, not just a single song.
