Hi folks,
I've been working on my copy of Banshee over the holiday season and thought some of you might be interested in some changes I've implemented there: - revised auto-tools setup: > vanilla autoreconf now works; > --enable-x switches added for all extensions; > some components like the Clients and DAP are also covered; > some tweaks to mono discovery to look in extra places. - improved DAP user experience for MTP: > no-longer try to auto-connect, instead; > display the potential source interface and connect without UI swapping; > it's no faster, but it feels better. - mostly new user interface, I thought Banshee was looking a little old: > with luck this will be lighter, for example it doesn't have filters; > slightly different layout, focus on saving real estate; > couple of new widgets; > uses gtk3 HeaderBar so far, Popovers are planned. If you check the source you'll notice a somewhat experimental feature --enable-treeview, which switches Banshee's track list to use an Hyena widget that inherits from the Gtk.TreeView widget and exposes the protected interface for ListView, it mostly works as a drop in replacement though drag and drop is a bit tricky and the album browser isn't supported by it. On the other hand you get kinetic scrolling and it feels pretty snappy. A few bug fixes went into this too, if you want to take a look, the work is on branch feature/lite: https://github.com/arfbtwn/banshee.git Anyway, if you've read this far and have some changes of your own that you want to share then I'd be interested to see them. Hope you all had a great holiday, cheers! -- Registered Linux User #392373 _______________________________________________ banshee-list mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/banshee-list (unsubscribe here) |

Hi Nicholas, I tried to build your "feature/lite" branch on Ubuntu 16.10 and I encounter these errors : [...] The autogen.sh does not complain about any missing dependency (see it at http://www.heypasteit.com/clip/3A4E) For the full "make" log, please see it at http://www.heypasteit.com/clip/3A4F. Am I missing a dependency, is it a code problem or something else? Thanks a lot in advance for any help, Christian

Hi Christian,
Sorry to hear about the errors you encountered when compiling, I don't think you're missing a dependency but it sounds like you'll need to install a later version of gtk-sharp than is provided by your distribution to correct that error, for reference I install from git [1] and this is the metadata from the resulting package config file (installed at /usr/lib64/pkgconfig) for comparison with what you have: Name: Gtk# Description: Gtk# - GNOME .NET Binding Version: 2.99.4 Cflags: -I:${gapidir}/pango-api.xml -I:${gapidir}/atk-api.xml -I:${gapidir}/gtk-api.xml Libs: -r:${libdir}/mono/gtk-sharp-3.0/cairo-sharp.dll -r:${libdir}/mono/gtk-sharp-3.0/pango-sharp.dll -r:${libdir}/mono/gtk-sharp-3.0/atk-sharp.dll -r:${libdir}/mono/gtk-sharp-3.0/gtk-sharp.dll Requires: glib-sharp-3.0 gio-sharp-3.0 gdk-sharp-3.0 I'm an autotools novice so it'll be good practise to add a macro to check the version (feel free to beat me to it, I have nothing against pull requests) though I'm not 100% certain on whether 2.99.4 is needed or if you could get away with just 2.99.1. Hope that helps. Nicholas.

Hi again! Thanks! I installed gtk-sharp from the GitHub master branch, which produces version 2.99.4, and the "make" process worked! Before that, I reran "autogen.sh". Then, I did "sudo make install", which installed Banshee under /usr/lib/banshee/. However, Banshee does not start correctly. When I run "/usr/lib/banshee/Banshee.exe --debug", I receive the log available at http://www.heypasteit.com/clip/3A52, where we can see this error : System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'Banshee.GStreamer.PlayerEngine' from assembly 'Banshee.GStreamer, Version=2.6.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. Do you have any idea on how to solve? Did I install it correctly? I would love to be able to run Banshee from a compiled source
code, because it means that I'll be able to dive into its
development, something I wish for several years, but I never
succeeded in completing this cycle. Thanks, Christian

In reply to this post by chrisperro
One more thing (sorry for overloading your inboxes) Now that I uninstalled the native Ubuntu Banshee package and cleaned the folders, I went through "autogen.sh", "make" and "sudo make install", and now the error is different, being about missing "Nereid.exe" : [1 Debug 14:21:42.921] Bus.Session.RequestName
('org.bansheeproject.Banshee') replied with PrimaryOwner A quick search points me toward my Mono version could be the
culprit. I installed "mono-complete", and on Ubuntu 16.10, this
currently install Mono 4.2.1. Which Mono version do you use? Again, any help is very appreciated. Thank, Christian Le 2017-01-05 à 14:16, Christian

Hi, Glad you got the core components building! Now you're coming up against some of my changes - I had planned to put the new UI in a different client assembly so when I did the autotools changes I added m4s for each client except Booter, pass --enable-nereid. I just haven't got round to splitting it at which point Gtk.Extra will be optional. You'll also need one of --enable-gst-{native,sharp} as I split the checks into two files with disabled as default for both. In both the client and gstreamer cases I want to see if there's a better place to put the default choices and ensure that e.g at least one option is chosen. For now, long configure invocations, sorry about that! Cheers On 5 Jan 2017 7:32 pm, "Christian Perreault" <[hidden email]> wrote:

Hi! Thanks, now getting closer! I did "./autogen.sh --enable-nereid --enable-gst-sharp" but the last part throwed me some errors(1), so I changed it for --enable-gst-native, thus "./autogen.sh --enable-nereid --enable-gst-native", and I could make it. Now, when running Banshee, I receive this error:
System.DllNotFoundException: libbanshee (see whole log at http://www.heypasteit.com/ Do you know what causes it? I'm mainly a Web developer, so when it comes to this universe, I actually feel like a novice. Thanks, Christian (1) Making all in Banshee.GStreamerSharp Le 2017-01-06 à 13:45, Nicholas Little

Hi! Oh, my mistake! I was not running Banshee from the right path... (should be /usr/bin/banshee instead of /usr/lib/banshee/Banshee.exe). Anyways, with "make run", it works! At first glance, I miss the album cover explorer, but I know you wanted to design a light interface (at least for now). Having something that builds and runs on (a recent) Ubuntu is a great starting point! Thanks a lot again, I'll dig more into your code work soon, comparing it to banshee/master and so on...

Aww, I hope the album art explorer isn't gone. That was one of my favorite features, and the thing I miss most in Rhythmbox. Nate On 01/07/2017 07:56 AM, Christian

Hi Nate,
The album explorer was a filter so it's not included in the new user interface, if you don't --enable-treeview and run with --classic then you'll get access to it, course then you'll essentially just be running banshee master with a couple of MTP tweaks and minor bugfixes, but that's cool - I want to maintain the classic user interface too. I haven't included filters because you can get the same functionality by using search and they take up too much screen estate as they're currently implemented - eventually I'd like to reintroduce them but perhaps have them integrated with search. Another idea I've been toying with is displaying album art in the main track list - I like eye-candy as much as the next guy.

Hi Nicholas, I have questions concerning this: if you don't --enable-treeview and run with --classic then you'll get access to it, course then you'll essentially just be running banshee master Just to be sure, does that mean that to get a "classic"/regular Banshee from your feature/lite branch,

Hi all,

I think it needs a mock-up of what that could look like That would be great communication but I am terrible with those programs... I'd probably just try a couple of things out in a new branch and see how it goes. So, my initial idea sprung from the simple example [1] where they use genres as tree branches, we could use album for that, and assuming it's possible to swap out the widget that the expander functions with then we could feasibly put the art and we'd probably have to include some description or statistics there - number of tracks, duration, anything 'album' really - otherwise there'd be lots of unused space. I don't know though, it might turn out terrible, the only other possibility I see is a completely custom widget, but that's a bit too much GUI programming for my taste, the idea in switching to Gtk.TreeView as a base class was so that it would take care of a bit more. For example, the ListView in my fork of Hyena suffers from a green outline when re-ordering tracks in the PlayQueue, I'm not sure if I caused that (it's totally possible) or if it's a quirk of using gtk-sharp from git, anyway, TreeView doesn't suffer from it, re-ordering looks a bit different but, well, progress. ;) [1] http://www.mono-project.com/docs/gui/gtksharp/widgets/treeview-tutorial/#creating-a-tree On 10 January 2017 at 16:31, Christian Perreault <[hidden email]> wrote: > Hi Nicholas, > > I have questions concerning this: > > if you don't --enable-treeview and run with --classic then > you'll get access to it, course then you'll essentially just be > running banshee master > > > Just to be sure, does that mean that to get a "classic"/regular Banshee from > your feature/lite branch, > > One first has to run autogen.sh without passing --enable-treeview? > Run with "--classic", does that mean to execute "banshee --classic"? > If so, is it possible to pass the --classic argument without installing the > compiled Banshee, but through "make run" (A quick search indicates to me > that such a thing is not that simple) ? > > Thanks again > Couple of things first: - stop using autogen.sh and instead use autoreconf, I intend to remove autogen.sh eventually; - unless it's a fresh git clone or you're making changes to the autotools system (the stuff under build/) you don't need to autoreconf for every change, just use ./configure. Apart from those things, you got it. It was before Christmas when I looked but I'm fairly certain the run target will pass any additional content after run to the command line - take a look in the top level directory's Makefile.am, it should have the details for the run target.

Hi all,
It's a holiday, a short one but nevertheless... I did a bit more work on the TreeView variant, mostly tidying up but I was able to restore the regular rendering that was done by ListView so things like the rating and track duration columns that switched to a text display now appear as a row of stars or a fuzzy time span string as they were intended, same for any other column that lost its fancy display. Inline editing is still not supported though there's always the context menu. Those of you running with the regular ListView should gain a performance boost from this update too since reflective property access has been swapped with compiled delegate methods in most cases. This leaves only a few annoyances in the new track view but the experience is pretty close to what you get with the list component. For want of a better place I'll organise those as GitHub issues, if you're using my fork [1] and want to create some then please do. @Christian, I checked the run target, it passes $BANSHEE_DEV_OPTIONS from the environment so if you set that to '$*' then I think you'll be able to pass --classic whenever you need to. @IBBoard, tidying up this important loose end puts us in a good position for more ambitious interface updates. Happy Easter.
