Some blockers I can think of for PyGI/GTK3:

• [X] I don't want to not have a way to select output devices, and GST 1.x got rid of the property probe interface. See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=678402 (which is marked as resolved, but it's not clear to me whether it is or not) -> FIXED in Gst 1.4
• [ ] For Windows and OSX (both of which I use, and hope to continue to support), we currently rely on the GStreamer SDK for python bindings to GTK. As far as I can tell, it doesn't support GTK3 or GST 1, and still has the old PyGTK bindings on it. I could be wrong though.
• [ ] Right now, I don't care enough about this to do it, and besides Johannes there isn't anyone else actively doing work on the project. Will probably want to push this off as long as we can, until more people join the project.

Sometimes when exaile plays music from large playlists (randomly play songs, repeat everything active), it does the following:

1. The song which was started plays until the end
2. exaile loads the next song (and file, according to logging). This includes title information (above playlists) and cover, title length (progress bar below playlists).
3. In some cases exaile does not start playing the song. In fact the progress bar is stuck at 0:00 seconds though it should play (and it is not paused).
4. after some time exaile suddently starts playing the file (often just the last 1…3 seconds of the file) and then switches to step 2. again.

When clicking somewhere after 3. happened into the progress bar makes exaile behave normal and play the file.

I keep on running into this problem for quite a while but I am unsure how to reproduce it. The only thing I found out is that it only affects huge playlists. So it seems like exaile reacts special on some rare files (file types?). This could also be an issue with some gstreamer plugin, I don't know for sure.

It looks like this primarily affects flac files. When they are played often the first few seconds go missing. In this case the progress bar misses some seconds (e.g. 0:01 and 0:03). It looks to me like exaile desperately tries to play a file the moment it should start without caring whether it is already loaded. I might be wrong but it looks to me like a caching (and: hard disk file access time) issue.

This does not happen with VLC media player nor with totem (gnome's default media player using gstreamer). So it seems to be an issue with exaile only.

No physical DVD/Video player has its controllers set from right-to-left.

As discussed on IRC.... this really needs to be done. One of the things holding back release(s) is that it's difficult to build a full release unless you're on Windows, because of the msys dependency which is constantly changing.

Ideally, the msys stuff could be packaged separately into something that could be reused and repackaged from Linux. Then, all we would need to do is push a tag, and travis would magically bundle everything together and push a release to github.

One thought is to use pyinstaller in a more controlled way. We could bundle the source code of exaile with the installer, using the same base pyinstaller exe each time. This base could be primed with all of the builtin imports we need (somehow?), and the external stuff too. If the stub just executed the main exaile source, we wouldn't need to rebuild the pyinstaller exe each time.

More ideas welcome. And.. I need to put together a VM with msys so we can get 4.0 out the door.

• [x] build sphinx documentation during tests
• [ ] add pychecker to docker images (see exaile/exaile-testimg#2)
• [ ] check code style using pychecker
• [x] put built .pyc / .pyo files where we can write them.

Code style:

$ pycodestyle --exclude=plugins/daapserver/spydaap/*.py --max-line-length=160 --statistics --count --ignore=E203,E241,E265,E266,E305,E402,E722,E731,E741,W293,W503 .

Hello,

I'm seeing an regression between 11885d6 (20170907) and 9ba2cc8 (20171020). Every time I'm quitting exaile via File -> Quit Exaile menu item, I get this in terminal:

Exception TypeError: "'NoneType' object is not callable" in <object repr() failed> ignored
Exception TypeError: "'NoneType' object is not callable" in <object repr() failed> ignored

Here is the full log with --debug, but it doesn't seem contain any clues about the error: https://dpaste.de/BDWQ/raw

Git version also suddenly don't work, but don't got the output (sorry).

I was wondering if it was possible to add shortcuts from the preferences to the main player. For example, I'd like to 'Disallow playing new tracks when another track is playing' when I am actively DJing. I'd love to actively add a shortcut to the main player, on the bottom line where all it seems to do currently is display 'x songs showing, yzzx in collection' on the bottom right

As a sidenote, is it possible to disable that line or change what is displayed on that particular line?

This might also help with another issue I raised in the past (#708) about actively be able to change the delay between songs. If I can add a shortcut to the main player, I can easily a delay time in (milli)seconds and change it as I DJ

Environment

• Operating System and version: Windows 10

• Exaile Version: 4.0.2 GStreamer: 1.16.0 GTK+: 3.24.8 GTK+ theme: Adwaita Locale: English_United States 1252 Mutagen: 1.40.0 PyGObject: 3.32.1 Python: 2.7.16

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Download the RC4 installer at https://github.com/exaile/exaile/releases/download/4.0.0-rc4/exaile-4.0.0-rc4.exe
2. Run it on Windows 10
3. Windows Defender kicks in and Quarantine the file
4. Here's a screenshot.

Expected Behavior

The Installer should not be flagged :)

Current Behavior

Exaile cannot be installed.

Possible Solution

I've looked up this issue and it seems that other open source software has run into it as well. Obviously we should look into the release process to make sure that it does not contain virus/trojan, but I'm leaning towards Windows Defender flagging some unsigned binaries right now.

Environment

• Operating System and version: Windows 10 version 1809

• Exaile Version: 4.0.0 RC4

MP3 tags not read

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Add folder to collection.

Expected Behavior

Tags should be properly imported for all supported media files.

Current Behavior

Tags for ogg and flac files work just fine, but all MP3 files show up without any tag information.

Further information

• Probably not a problem with mutagen per se since other programs that use it (I tested puddletag) work without problems.
• Interestingly, if I edit the tag info within exaile, it shows up correctly afterwards.

Environment

• Operating System and version: Debian testing (buster), x86_64
• Exaile Version: 4.0.0-rc2
• mutagen-1.41.1

Exaile crashes when adding too big files to the playlist

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Mount a directory with mp3s using sftp (e.g. gigolo)
2. Browse to the directory within the files tab in exaile
3. Try to move them in the playlist (size of all mp3s was around 71MByte

Expected Behavior

Should not crash

Current Behavior

Segmentation fault

@mathbr Do you agree?

pynput seems to be way to go for multimedia keys support on Windows, now that keyboard doesn't work anymore (see https://github.com/exaile/exaile/issues/830).

I suppose pyHook might still work, but I haven't tested it in a long time. Being an extension module, pyHook is more annoying to deal with compared to pynput (which uses ctypes), so let's just settle on pynput.

I haven't tested this with the installer; was hoping to test using a CI build, but apparently this needs a new SDK build (due to requirements.txt change), which in turn requires this to be merged to master first.

When processing the tracks in search_tracks generator, yield the current thread's timeslice only when running in the secondary (non-main) thread. This prevents unnecessary slow-downs in the main thread, where we want to finish the operation as fast as possible (especially under python 3.11 on linux, where time.sleep(0) introduced additional overhead).

Fixes #832.

Upgrading Icecast plugin to use https://dir.xiph.org/yp.xml for retrieving stations. Fixes #829

For now it is quite slow. And some optimizations and cleaning needs to be done.

But can someone check if it works correct and as before?

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Enable the OSD plugin (to better appreciate the issue)
2. Add a radio playlist, e.g. any SomaFM playlist
3. Play it
4. Wait for a new track to be parsed

Expected Behavior

I'd expect to be notified of the track change via OSD

Current Behavior

OSD doesn't notify the track change

Possible Solution

I'm proposing this PR. I'm not sure that's the best way to "save" the current track prior to tags changing.

Environment

• Operating System and version: Slackware Linux 15.0
• Exaile Version: Exaile 4.1.2-beta1+70fa4d1
