ImportError: No module named appscript

[Porco-Rosso]

I keep getting this error: "ImportError: No module named appscript" I know someone won't probably see this but it would really be appreciated!

[Porco-Rosso]

got past this, but now it just runs, and nothing happens. it returns me to the terminal prompt with no message.

[Porco-Rosso]

For anyone curious, I had to install appscript sudo easy_install appscript

And then run it with the following:

python /Users/YOURUSER/SCRIPT_LOCATION/itd-master/itd.py -f

However now, I just have to overcome the MPD < 0.16.0 is not supported issue in the newer version of ncmpcpp

Thanks for the feedback. I haven't worked on this project much recently. If I recall there was some changes in the MPD API in 0.16.0 and I never got around to reverse engineering the new API.

[Porco-Rosso]

Shame, this project is really interesting.

I'm trying to get around the problem by installing an old version of ncmpcpp (0.5.10) which is still compatible, but having trouble building it. run into the same issue here : https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/issues/17541

[nrcharles]

So I was looking through the code again. The API is documented here: http://www.musicpd.org/doc/protocol/index.html Bumping the API version in itd actually makes control work, but it doesn't report the song names properly. I'm not sure how much work it would take to get that process into place. The issue is there isn't really one-to-one functionality between mpd and itunes. I think a little database might get around that though.

[Porco-Rosso]

That's odd. I tried doing just that and changing the API version number in itd didn't work. Upon connection I would get an error message from ncmpcpp and it would crash/disconnect.

Although I understand the functionality isn't 1 to 1. wouldn't it be possible to just make the non-essential commands return null? That would at least allow basic playback/searching.

[nrcharles]

Hmm… What version number were you using? Currently it does return null for non implemented commands.

[Porco-Rosso]

I'm using ncmpcpp 0.6.5, the latest. All i get from itd -f is:

running command: 
OK

('127.0.0.1', 53970) disconnected!
('127.0.0.1', 53971) connected! 

and in ncmpcpp I get still: ncmpcpp: MPD < 0.16.0 is not supported and No active mpd connection

maybe I'm not editing the file correctly, could you perhaps push the version you have managed to get working?

[nrcharles]

I pushed some changes. See if that works for you.

I get from ncmpcpp
