Thanks Niels!! Love it!

:(

It doesn't fix the issue were when you skip several tracks it lags behind and notifies you of each track....

chaos-black

I'm so glad that there is finally a way to get the notification ubuntu style :) :) THANK YOU!!!
Perhaps you can help me with the issue, that pidgin doesn't notify me that way anymore, since i accidently copy/pasted a wrong .purple folder :-/
But congrats to this 5star addon :)

Great work Niels, this is brilliant.
One Problem though, and it may just be me, but the album art is pretty poor quality (looks as though it's been resized too small and then stretched again). Oh, and the description of the Addon should read: "Displays various notifications through the ubuntu notification system", but that's just me being overly meticulous!
Thanks alot

ACMiller

You're right, it does look like a bigger problem. Well thanks for being willing to try find a work around. Good luck!

This is great - fantastic add-on and works really well. Thanks!

Great great great..! 5 stars..!!

Hej Niels,
this add-on is a great idea. But I have a problem with it. Is it possible, that this add-on is not compatible with Songbird 1.1.1, Build 1018 (20090314003734)? My Songbird told my at the manually installation that: "ubuntu-notifier 0.1.0.0 could not be installed because it is not compatible with Songbird 1.1.1."

A fix would be great as well.
Tack and thanks.

Your addon is amazing ! Here is a screen shot of your work :

Thank you!

Btw , if anyone is interested Songbird is running in Jaunty and it is awesome !

Works alright. You seem to have noticed everything that i've noticed so just keep up the good work.

Sloshy

with this addon enabled as well as now playing list, when a song next in the "now playing list" is played it starts playing then immediately stops for 1-2 seconds before playing again. anyone else have this problem?

Sloshy

nevermind, its probably not this addon

foolishgrunt

Add-on works great for me, but I'm just wondering if anyone knows how to turn off the default songbird notifications. Kind of redundant otherwise.

FokkerCharlie

Works only sporadically for me. Sometimes I see the notification, more often than not, I don't. Using Ubuntu Jaunty 64. Is there any output or logs that I can send in for debugging?

Charlie

foolishgrunt

@Niels:
No I don't. As far as I can tell, these notifications came standard with the player. I didn't install anything to get them. But maybe my system is just crazy.

foolishgrunt

I'm using version 1.2, build 1146. This is what I'm getting:

Is anybody else getting this, or is my system crazy?

Hi Neils

Version 1.1.1 here, uninstalled and reinstalled as instructed, still works only rarely! I'm running the Linus 64-bit version, btw... maybe that's why noone else has reported this isue!

Hi Niels

It seems that, at the moment, the notifier works the for the first track after making a selection- that is to say if I double-click an album or track, from either Media Flow or the main listing, I get a notification. Then it stops appearing. It doesn't seem to matter whether I skip a track or not. The python code that you linked seems to work every time. I don't see that it's anything to do with special characters, I've tried with albums that have no special chars.

Hmmmmm!

Thanks for paying attention to this!

Great addon, to bad it doesn't show album art anymore..

ojii

Same problem as Spike1506, and without artwork it looks a bit poor...

foolishgrunt

I figured out where the "default" notifications were coming from: the Birdtitle addon. Sorry for being confusing.

Also, I'm not getting album art anymore here either.

Cornwall

Great addon. I'm hoping that changing tracks quickly could be reflected dynamically in Notify-OSD soon. :)

FokkerCharlie

I've realised something- I am only missing the notifications when the player is in mini-mode (which it usually is here!). Is it possible to get the addon working with this mode?

Also missing the artwork btw.

Cheers
Charlie

Not sure if any of this helps this is the python code for the osd script for Amarok

Wow, Niels! Great work! I love this addon!

Hi! Great Add-On but why I can't see the album cover in notafications.

Iḿ usin Karmic Koala

Schokobecher

I can confirm that covers are not shown.
Anyways:
Awesome.

Schokobecher

Oh well nvm.
Reading would help:

"Re-add album art support"

Cornwall

Only thing I'm good at is testing. :). I'd be happy to help, though.

Your link is 404'd, by the by.

I'll try to get into that problem.
Could take a while since I've no experience with xul and Addon programming :/

Hi,

Something I've noticed:

In Jaunty, say I had two bubbles: the song title bubble on top, and the volume on bottom.

If I changed tracks with those two bubbles going on, then both of them would adjust to fit the song title bubble. Now, in Karmic, they overlap....

Bug in Notify-OSD, or this?

Cornwall

Whoops, forgot to mention.... I'm using a custom build that does away with that current nonsense of placing the notifications a little below the corner. It all works just the way it used to, just prettier. I'm assuming this would happen with the regular package as well.... Like if there was a song notification and an IM notification.

fcastillo

I think that this add-on should merge with this one:
http://addons.songbirdnest.com/addon/1754

The new one has a lot of great options... amazing ones... and album art is supported...

FokkerCharlie

Also, I see that addon 1754 also works when using mini-mode. For this reason, I have had to defect, but that does not detract from the appreciation that I have for the creator of this addon...

As fcastillo says, a merger may be a good idea!
