Installation of coverart-browser #410

Closed anlin01 closed 3 years ago

anlin01 commented 3 years ago

First of all, thank you for this extension and the work with it. I am quite new to linux (using ubuntu 20.04 LTS) and try to figure out how to install the extension "coverart-browser" for Rhythmbox.

I executed "rm -rf ~/.local/share/rhythmbox/plugins/coverart_browser" - this directory was not existing anyway. Then "git clone https://github.com/fossfreedom/coverart-browser.git" this worked fine. "cd coverart-browser" - ok "./install.sh" - There I got the following message:

~/coverart-browser$ ./install.sh installing languages to /usr/share/locale/ installing de ./lang.sh: 15: msgfmt: not found Installing the glib schema (password needed)

That is all.

When executing "sudo apt-get install git gettext python3-mako gir1.2-notify-0.7 python3-lxml python3-gi-cairo python3-cairo gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad rhythmbox-plugins gir1.2-webkit-3.0"

the terminal deliveres a message that the packages "gir1.2-webkit-3.0" could not be found.

What can I do?

Thank you, André

Hi.

make this:

echo "deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main universe" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

sudo apt update

execute the same command:

sudo apt-get install git gettext python3-mako gir1.2-notify-0.7 python3-lxml python3-gi-cairo python3-cairo gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad rhythmbox-plugins gir1.2-webkit-3.0

Thank you so much for your quick answer! The installation was finished successfully.

I guess the plugin must be activated. When I open the settings, and from there the tab "plugins", the "CoverArt Browser" is displayed. When I select this plugin, the checkbox disappears and a small exclamation mark appears, see the pdf with screenshots:

Rhythmbox-Settings Plugins.pdf

Do you have an idea what to do here?

open the terminal, type rhythmbox and copy and paste what appears here, ok?

anlin01 commented 3 years ago

The following appears (while rhythmbox starts):

(rhythmbox:7268): Gtk-WARNING **: 21:55:40.163: actionhelper: action app.play-repeat can't be activated due to parameter type mismatch (parameter type NULL, target type b)

(rhythmbox:7268): Gtk-WARNING **: 21:55:40.163: actionhelper: action app.play-shuffle can't be activated due to parameter type mismatch (parameter type NULL, target type b)

only that ? without any error? strange ... I don't know what it is because the errors were supposed to appear there.

One more line when I close rhythmbox:

(rhythmbox:7679): Gtk-WARNING **: 22:06:52.076: actionhelper: action app.play-repeat can't be activated due to parameter type mismatch (parameter type NULL, target type b)

ok, do the following.

rm -Rf ~/.local/share/rhythmbox/plugins/coverart_*

and redo the plugin installation.

(use the this code - https://github.com/fossfreedom/coverart-browser)

remember: install this before: https://github.com/fossfreedom/coverart-search-providers

anlin01 commented 3 years ago

Ok, first the installation of "https://github.com/fossfreedom/coverart-search-providers":

rm -rf ~/.local/share/rhythmbox/plugins/coverart_search_providers git clone https://github.com/fossfreedom/coverart-search-providers.git cd coverart-search-providers ./install.sh

The output is: ~/coverart-search-providers$ ./install.sh installing languages to /usr/share/locale/ no en.po to install Installing the glib schema (password needed)

I am not sure if this is fine.

Installation of "https://github.com/fossfreedom/coverart-search-providers":

git clone https://github.com/fossfreedom/coverart-browser.git cd coverart-browser ./install.sh

The output is: installing languages to /usr/share/locale/ installing en_US en_US.po:13: warning: header field 'Language-Team' still has the initial default value Installing the glib schema (password needed)

I am not sure if this if fine.

But the cover arts are displayed!

Show. =) its works. =)

anlin01 commented 3 years ago

Thank you so much for your wonderful help! Just a small issue, if I may ask: Not all CoverArts are loaded, some or a lot are left out. When I click on each CoverArt, the first song is played, and the CoverArt is loaded. I have to click on each that it is loaded. See attached picture. Do you have an idea what I could do?

You are welcome =)

yes, you will need to play some music from each album to appear. I don't know how to fix this. Maybe the @fossfreedom (David Mohammed) knows.

I say thank you! :)

If I may ask a last question (2 questions) ?:

There are the following plugins installed:

"CoverArt Browser Search Providers" replaces the "CoverArt Search". So both first must be activated, right?

Then: The library Location (tab "Music") contains the folder where the music files are placed in. In my case it is ~/Music/Musicfiles/ The CoverArt displays CoverArts from other folders, for example ~/Music/Music_left_to_import/ This folder does not belong to the folder which rhythmbox uses. Maybe the plugin searches for all files below ~/Music/ ?

ghost commented 3 years ago

I think that's it. I don't know how to solve it.
