[opensuse] What multimedia player?
Hi, Amarok is dead. Well, it is going to die, there is no Qt5 version and it will be removed eventually. I was just using it, and it has bugs: it does not keep track of what I play, it says "never played" for everything. Then I remembered "banshee". Well, there is no banshee on 15.0. What else can I use on 15.0? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

It doesn't seem to scan the collection. Look, I'm looking for an amarok or banshee replacement, not a simple player. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

Oh, yes, I forgot about that one. Yes, I am trying it again. It does scan the collection, and displays when last played but not by default. But, Clementine is also in the may be killed list, still no Qt5 version. I will have to use this one, best bet so far. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

If you right-click on the column headings you can choose Last Played amongst the many options. Should stick in the configuration. Last released version was in 2016 but it seems there's still plenty of work going on on Github. Tumbleweed is apparently now using a git snapshot of the new version. gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I have it playing now. As I was typing an email, it ended one track, was going to continue on the next, and, my guess, the popup informing of the track took the key I pressed as a request to pause the playing. I suspect that is what happened, but playback did indeed stop, and a popup was flashing. But at the same time it had hit some tracks that I had deleted being duplicates, perhaps it was asking about the missing files. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

Not particularly. Clementine was a deliberate fork of the Amarok 1.x version after the latter progressed to 2.x. At the time the project began, my sentiments were broadly 'ah, a music player for backwards people who don't want to move with the times', or something of such cynical nature. As a KDE4 early adopter I'd spent over three years closely following Amarok development and trying every new point release in the hope of setting up both myself on it and my father with his huge music collection. But with every point release came some new bug or regression, it crashed frequently, I reported a couple of bugs which got acknowledged, only to be closed again, at first mistakenly and then willingly, and after three years I was tearing my hair out. So I looked for an alternative, tried Clementine and then forgave all those backwards-looking people I'd formed an image of in my overly-dismissive mind. Unlike the long wait at start up for Amarok to load its heavy database even when I had no songs in it, Clementine starts in a snap. The interface is a bit of a hybrid but doesn't look too out of place on any DE. Simple enough for my dad to understand but with enough features and configurability under the hood. I must have watched a hundred other media and music players come and go over the last decade (see the RSS feeds for openDesktop apps, it seems every new developer creates one as a pet project then abandons it soon after), but Clementine still does the job. gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Clementine is not as feature rich as Amarok, but as you say, it works. The problem is that KDE4/Qt4 are going to be removed from factory because upstream support has ceased. That means that Amarok is going. Its Qt5/KF5 port is not progressing, it is apparently not usable. That leaves Clementine, but it also doesn't have a released Qt5 version, but a git snapshot version. Which is why I thought of banshee (which I did not like much last time I tried). The surprise: there is no 15.0 version. I just heard of mpd. It is a daemon, it needs a client.
I must have watched a hundred other media and music players come and go over the last decade (see the RSS feeds for openDesktop apps, it seems every new developer creates one as a pet project then abandons it soon after), but Clementine still does the job.

Just thinking out loud - is there any project, somewhere, that looks after / maintains a collection of desktop applications? It seems to me it would be very useful to have a given set of apps always available, no matter what happens to KDE/Gnome/whatever or if the original project matures. Seems to me SUSE might like this too? Some of the common desktop apps have sustained lives of their own - GIMP, Libreoffice, Firefox, Thunderbird, Dolphin(?), while others are more separate/independent projects - kaffeine, amarok, skanlite, okular, knode/pax.

No, not really. See $SUBJ. There _should_ always be a capable (multi)media player available, but the distro only distributes what is available, it doesn't create or maintain it.

In a way, much the same as what motivates people to do openSUSE and Linux and many other projects - the desire to do something to benefit everyone. (as well as giving you the chance to scratch that itch). What motivates me to spend my Saturday morning looking after the openSUSE mirroring system?
Who would work on it?
I would imagine people not necessarily keen on writing new stuff to prove their skills.

My take on the subject generally: 1-Mature programmers have full plates coupled with lack of motivation to experiment or take on new tasks. 2-The younger population making up the pool of potential new blood doesn't collect mp3s or videos. Instead they are content with various cloud sources and/or subscription based commercial free or reduced commercials services for their music.

https://amarok.kde.org/en/node/888 ... Amarok 2.9.0 was released a year ago, and they have actually announced a Qt5 based version in the release notes. ...and the git commits on the master branch do look quite promising. Maybe I'll try and build a package of that. Cheers MH -- Mathias Homann Senior Systems Engineer, IT Consultant.

...turns out there is a working amarok for plasma package on the build service already, in KDE:Unstable::Extra. Forked that into my home project, seems to be working fine.
