Alacritty with ueberzug doesn't showed the cover art and with pixcat crashed I know that a song I'm listening to has an embedded art. The others functionality work fine, but I'm not seeing the album art

image_method    = ueberzug
music_directory = ~/mus

opt info: alacritty 0.9.0 (fed349aa) ueberzug 18.1.9 pixcat 0.1.4

Ubuntu 18.04.5 user here on an old 32 bit laptop. So maybe it's the reason of the problem.

I installed miniplayer via sudo python3 setup.py install. Log:

The config file is not created by default on /home/itook/.config/miniplayer/config so I created the directory and moved the sample config to it and renamed as "config". Then I edited it with adding my music directory.

When I execute the command miniplayer I only see the message "Put some beats on!".

Hello,

Hi!

In the Config file, if I set any size, nothing changes. A 5 "monitors are unreadable small letters. The other problem is that the covers do not appear. My Music folder: / MNT / Music / Blues / MNT / Music / Rock / MNT / Music / Jazz

The setting is: [art] Image_method = ueberzug Music_directory = / MNT / Music http_base_url = http://192.168.1.2:88 http_cover_filenames = cover.jpg

Can you help me?

Hi!

I love the miniplayer, but my album art isn't present in the files.

Instead, since I'm using the Android clients MPDroid and MAFA a lot, I've followed the instructions provided by the MPDroid wiki to set up an HTTP server that serves my album art for me. Both of these players support this exact implementation, and of course other users/developers can use it as well.

So, I forked your repository and altered and expanded on the code to make it support album art fetching from such an HTTP server.

If it interests you, I hope you will merge these changes to upstream. Of course I'm more than willing to change the code/approach where desired as well :).

If you do feel this is a worthy addition, here's a summary of what I did:

• Since there are now more settings regarding album art fetching, I felt a config section art was in order. I've moved music_directory and image_method there, and added the new http_base_url and http_cover_filenames options.
• There is now a central Player.getAlbumArt method, which will, based on the config, fetch art from the HTTP server, or from the files. Each of these routes have their own private method in the Player class.
• I made the default album art drawing logic a separate function Player.drawDefaultAlbumArt, especially now that it's called from several places.
• I've updated the example config and README. It might be a bit minimal though.

Two things I feel uncertain about is:

• Whatever the image is, it is always saved to the /tmp directory with a PNG file extension. Of course this should be an issue just as much with retrieving album art from files, and that seems to work fine. Also, I've tested with a JPG file from my HTTP server, and it seems to work just fine there too.
• I bumped minor version, but since I moved some existing config keys around, this release would not be compatible with current configs, so therefore it might be better to make this a major version upgrade (2.0.0 for instance).

Let me hear what you think. No worries if you reject the feature altogether, I can maintain a fork if necessary :).

Thanks, Bart

i have all the necessary dependencies installed via pip3 i have installed miniplayer from pip3 by sudo pip3 install miniplayer. its installed successfully but when i run it i get following error

Hey there,

Love the simplicity of this program! I'm primarily using this as a scratchpad window to quickly show album artwork, and I feel like it is a really nice companion program to something like ncmpcpp.

It might be neat to add a config option to show the artwork only; no progress indicator/track info.

Perhaps the track information can be used as the window title itself while there is an active track playing, rather than simply displaying 'miniplayer'.

I'm thinking this addition might be potentially useful for people who use a multiplexer with other minimal mpd clients -- i.e. a tmux session with individual panes for ncmpcpp, miniplayer, etc. - this way they could simply use miniplayer as a way to display artwork only, and still retain the ability to use it as a standalone application with track changing, pausing, etc. via the keybinds.

Before I take a stab at it myself I thought I'd pitch the idea to see what you think?

I wasn't able to get miniplayer working for the the longest time and realized that it's because of the way I have the cover art setup. I embed the cover art into all of my audio files rather than putting the cover.png in the album's directory.

This pull request fixes said issue by adding a config option to use mpd's "readpicture" function which extracts the cover art from the audio file.

Miniplayer just shows Puts some beats on message. Mpd service is up and running other mpd clients are also working fine. System Info: OS: Manjaro Linux x86_64 Kernel: 5.12.9-1-MANJARO Shell: zsh 5.8 WM: i3

Hi, I'm the maintainer of the AUR package; I'm having issues building the package, either with python setup.py build or with python -m build --wheel:

error: Multiple top-level packages discovered in a flat-layout: ['img', 'miniplayer'].

To avoid accidental inclusion of unwanted files or directories,
setuptools will not proceed with this build.

If you are trying to create a single distribution with multiple packages
on purpose, you should not rely on automatic discovery.
Instead, consider the following options:

1. set up custom discovery (`find` directive with `include` or `exclude`)
2. use a `src-layout`
3. explicitly set `py_modules` or `packages` with a list of names

To find more information, look for "package discovery" on setuptools docs.

Hey again, I noticed that when I have colors set to auto in the config file, these colors tend to persist and bleed into other TUI apps that are launched from within the same terminal, ie ncmpcpp

• running miniplayer, colors get applied based on artwork:

• running ncmpcpp, colors which miniplayer applied persist:

I'm not 100% on this, but I believe ColorThief applies colors via escape sequences, which would probably explain why this happens. I suspect that if there is a way to clear all color values set by miniplayer once the program exits that this would no longer occur. Would sourcing colors from xresources upon exit be a good idea?

What do you think?

I cannot find any suitable package for that dependency. I am running Fedora 37 with Linux kernel 6.0.10

Can someone help me?

Relevant error message:

Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('ueberzug')
