I CAN HAS SYSTRAICONN!!@!

jigarshah

Nice to see…a Must have.
It works well when clicked from system icon.

Several Issue with this.
–“Minimize to Tray” does not work when minimized from Titlebar or right-click context menu. I have selected “close button minimize to tray”.

It does minimize but cannot revert it. Song plays well but all controls are not working.

I have to kill SB to stop sb.

Tahj

Please make a Linux-64bits version, I’ll really appreciate this ! :)

wingnux

Any update in sight for 0.6 final?

mewshi

If anyone is interested, I will put up a new version (modified to work with 0.6 final) that is entirely unofficial. This will, of course, have to be on my site, as I can’t update this one.

Problem is when i say close from rightclick context menu from panel it closes SB window but SB process is still alive.

inf3rn0, we've got some feedback coming in from GetSatisfaction for your add-on:

FireTray isn't working properly
Some of the options offered by FireTray (add-on 173) don't work:

- Start the program minimized
- Confirm application exit
- Close button minimizes to tray

Also, it's only possible to minimise to the tray by clicking on the egg icon (in the tray). If you click on the minimise button, Songbird minimises to the toolbar (as per usual) and if you click on the close button, it closes.

Version: Songbird/0.6.1 (20080623082739) (2008052304), Ubuntu (Gutsy Gibbon)

t1s

The tray icon does not show up for me at all

Thene

I am trying to install the 64bit Firetray and it tells me that it isn't compatible with the version of Songbird I have installed.

FireTray 0.1.5 could not be installed because it is not compatible with Songbird 0.6.1.

Could you please tell me when this might be updated?

MatthewP

Agreed with Thene, doesn't work for the 32 bit version, either.

I really dig this extension, and look forward to updates to make it work, well, functionally.

webceo

Do you think you can update it to work for songbird 0.7 ?

Thank you

dhazin

It works fine with 0.7.0, if modify the install.rdf file into xpi archive.
Anyway, it misses almost all features Amarok has instead of hiding Songbird window :(
It can't change volume/show osd text etc.
I'm new to Songbird, are there known feature requests for minimize to tray and global shortcuts functionality?

dekans

works pretty well for me (with songbird 0.7) except the options of this add-on
For example, I cannot minimize to tray when I close the window, it closes the application :(

I hope a soon coming update will fix it.

webceo

How did you guys manage to make it work with songbird 0.7, for me it's says not compatible with this version

razor

Looking at the plugin I see this is 32-bit only. Any chance of a 64-bit version? How about making the source available?

pajouh

is it possible to change the firetraysymbol, and if, how?

Jaymoon

Not compatible with 1.0.0rc1

Sorry, but can't use Songbird until I can close to tray.

Running 8.10 Ubuntu BTW in case somebody would be kind enough to post a link to a working alternative.

toaster13

This plugin fails on 0.7. File->Close to System Tray works, but it will neither minimize to the tray nor does the close button send it to the tray (and yes, I changed my preferences accordingly). Please advise.

@Jaymoon

For those of us running Songbird 1.0, here's a hacked xpi file that accepts songbird1.0 -- until inf3rn0 uploads a legitimate version ^.^ . Granted, this comes w/ *no guarantee*, but it works fine for me on Kubuntu Intrepid, so...take it or leave it.

emtorres

thanks @jabapyth ;)

fraggle

Unfortunately the hacked xpi file doesn't work at all, at least for me running Ubuntu 8.10 x86_64. Though it installs without complaining, no tray icon shows up.

scrawl

why is the "install" button greyed out :(

yookoala

will there be new version for 1.0?

I LOVE YOU! ;-)
Songbird in my Notification Area in Ubuntu 8.10. YAY

Only the context for the icon does not work well. The Windows List there but empty. And there are too much Seperator Lines in it.
But it works!
Thanks for this addon!

im on arch 64 bit not working
there is no system tray link

autoscatto

olà, i have add next and previous button (for next and previous song). I'have added minimal code only to core.js. Can i submit my code or contribute?
PS: the site is down....

fraggle

> i need to compile it for 64
where can we get the 64bit version (when compiled) ?

autoscatto

I have added small icon. Only using gtk stock image. I have publish the source and the .xpi at this page. Ahh, sorry but is in italian, my english is shit.

amrhassan

why is the popup menu filled with menu separators? it shouldn't have any.
and the windows list is empty with me too. this needs a lot of work.

lamouche

I would like to work on this project. I found a lot of results for firetray on google code. Can anyone provide a link to the latest version of this add-on?

mario999

Sorry, this does not work with Songbird 1.0 on the Acer Aspire One. (Linpus Linux). No tray icon, nothing. But Firetray for Thunderbird and Firefox work fine.... strange.

gruppler

It's sort of working for me on Fedora 9. I see the tray icon, and *sometimes* it lets me minimize to the tray when i click the icon, but usually it doesn't, and after switching between the mini player and main player, multiple "music" lists are added to the tray icon's menu. Someone please just make it work and get rid of all the separators.

Rolle

Same here: The tray menus don't work, have to kill sb when minimizing to tray other than clicking the icon. When is the new version coming out?

Jerome

Impossible to install that on Songbird 1.1.1 on Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex

Jerome

Now I have install your plug-in on my Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex 32 bit ;)
But... It's very strange... lol
I have 6 times the same Previous Track, Play/Pause,...

Jerome

Thanks you ;)
It is possible to put this Addo-On in French please?

Merci ;)

Donalb

Hi,
 I've just done a fresh install of songbird 6.1.1 and Firetray (along with a bunch of other extensions). I'm on Ubuntu 8.10 32bit.
When I right click on Firetray I get repeat commands, as mentioned above.
I've disabled all other extensions and restarted. After a Songbird restart Firetray is repeating the drop down menu twice. No tracks have been played at this point. If I use songbird for a few hours this list will grow. After using Songbird intermittently for 24 hours the drop down list was almost 2 full screens long.
Regards, Donal

firetech

I've been able to increase the number of menu items for the icon repeatably by changing feathers. Each time I change feathers, two new of each menu item is added.

Peter_Puk

I like to prepose a new menu order, because 'Next Track' is usually be used the most, put it on top. And also introduce an option to rate the current song.

Also the icon in the notification area is way to big, is there a possibility to make it smaller?

Tray Menu

• Next Track
• Previous Track
• Play/Pauze
• Stop
• Rate -->
• Restore All
• Exit

Rate

• 5: Excellent
• 4: Very Good
• 3: Average
• 2: Fair
• 1: Poor

RandallFlagg

I got a loop in my tray... every time I got more and more "play/pause previous track etc" ... they repeat and repeat...

Plus, if I dont have activatedthe action "when close to tray" my songbird closes but the music still goes on, and the trayicon is useless.. I have to close everything from songbird for it to work again.

armence

This is a really good add-on, but I have a suggestion... If possible, it would be nice that when you hover, it would display some information about the current song, such as name, artist, album... Ideally, I really like the way the banshee tray icon works giving you a mini player when you hover over the icon with a couple of buttons, info on the song and a play bar... I might be getting greedy though...

Donalb

Broken. Author admits no fix in sight. Shouldn't potential new users be notified of this at the top of this page?
Addons are potentially a good idea for Songbird but when basic expected functionality is off-loaded to addons, which then don't work, the Users get screwed.
Regards
Donal

Jimmerz28

Thanks for the great addon.

Is there any chance we would be able to have an option to have the notification of a song change to always be on top even when full screen applications are up?

Thanks!

Jerome

Please put a description and a screenshot!

I use AllTray to minimize it in Ubuntu 8.10 - just FYI. Although this plugin would be much nicer!

lbakalinsky

Hey Guys,
If you would like to run FireTray on SongBird 1.1.2 then do the following:

1.) Download the XPI file.
2.) Extract the install.rdf file.
3.)Make the following changes:
Change Max Version to 1.1.2
<!-- Songbird -->
<description>
<em:id>songbird@songbirdnest.com</em:id>
<em:minversion>1.1.1</em:minversion>
<em:maxversion>1.1.1</em:maxversion>
</description>
 B) Change version 0.1.13 to 0.1.14
  <description>
    <em:id>{9533f794-00b4-4354-aa15-c2bbda6989f8}</em:id>
    <em:version>0.1.13</em:version>
    <em:type>2</em:type>
4.)Save the file
5.) Copy install.rdf back into the xpi archive.
6.) Install the XPI.

lbakalinsky

I will also be working on cleaning up FireTray. Hopefully I can get the help and support of the original author.

argraff

Thanks lbakalinsky! That worked for me it seems.

Would also love to see this working in Ubuntu 9.04 (32 bit), with Songbird 1.1.2. Any chance of someone posting the XPI file so we can modify it ourselves?

Cheers.

carignan.boy

The notifications work great! 8.10 was good, now they're beautiful in 9.04. But is there a way to have the album art display in the stead of the bird?

Thanks

lbakalinsky

Rohaq & RPG_Master, just follow my directions and it will work.

carignan.boy, It's possible if you have the programming knowledge. Our first goal should be to clean up the current code, fix the tray icon, and the right click menu.

vans33r

hey it did work!! thanks a lot
i look forward to have album art display.
please if someone knows how to do it, share it!

Diggidy_Dylan

Hello,
I just got it working in 1.1.2 Not to hard. However I have a bug.
I suppose I should just file a bug report but anyways,
when I close the Songbird browser (as the preferences would have me believe) the whole browser closes instead of minimizing to the egg in the trey. So the only way I can actually minimize to tray is by clicking the egg. Not a huge deal, but still...
Also, it'd be cool if there was a different icon instead of the egg. I get it, but I think it looks ugly... sorry.
Thanks for the otherwise awesome plugin.
-Dylan

fidtheforce

when will you have a working version for Songbird 1.1.2, Build 1042 (20090331141709)?

This is a great add on i miss it already

Band B

I made a small change to your extension to deal better with notifications. I did the following:
In core.js, I moved line 569-570 (if(howSong)...)to become line 567-568 (before if(artist.length>30)...). That way, long text is passed completely to the notification daemon.

matbonucci

why can't i install it?

Bradj47

I can't click the install button. I have the latest version for Linux: 1.2.0, Build 1146

@matbonucci

Apparently, the author abandoned the project and now we're left with no tray icon addon :(.

KruyKaze

Please update for songbird 1.2.
thank you!

nlu

Got it to work on Songbird 1.2.0 by doing this:

1.Download the XPI file.
2.Put the XPI file to Songbird's extension directory
  (in my case it was in /home/myusername/Songbird/extensions, where myusername is
   whatever you use as your username :) )
3.Double click on the XPI file
  (this should open a file manager window with only one folder called firetray or something
   similar)
4.Double click on the folder and you should see a list of files
5.Double click on install.rdf
  (now you should be able to edit the file)
6.Change max version to 1.2.0 (or to 1.2.*) from 1.1.3 as follows:
  <em:targetapplication>
<!-- Songbird -->
<description>
<em:id>songbird@songbirdnest.com</em:id>
<em:minversion>1.1.1</em:minversion>
<em:maxversion>1.2.0</em:maxversion>

7.Save the file
8.Close the open windows
9.Open Songbird
10.Click File
11.Click Open a File
12.Go to your Songbird extension directory
13.In the extension directory you should see the XPI file
14.Double click on the XPI file
15.Now you should get the option of installing

After a restart you should be able to use firetray

It did work for me.. on Ubuntu 9.0.4

@lbakalinsky: thanks a lot it worked fine

kog

If you want Firetray to work on Songbird 1.2.0, download the first listed link here: http://code.google.com/p/firetray/downloads/list

It works better than modding the XPI file from this topic, as it doesn't repeat menu entries.

vans33r

any update to show the artwork instead of the bird???

kog

The custom icon thing for me doesn't last very long. As soon as a song actually starts playing the icon (whether custom-defined or not) changes to the one of the small black bird with headphones.

cristian.vrabie

It would be very nice if the menu displayed when right-clicking the tray icon would allow rating the current playing song. Similar to how Banshee does it. It would be very useful for people that want to listen to music and rate they're songs while working (no need to open the Songbird window to do it).

Niko

i have a problem with firetray custom for songbird 1.2..when i clicked to the icon for restore songbird interface,the window of the player is opened into another workin area (i'm on ubuntu jaunty)..

banditfly

Will there be a 64 bit version of this extension? If not, could you provide me with the necessary information so that I could create on myself?

Sorry...forgot a response to your Linux work...Thank You...it is good to see those who are willing to support Linux, regardless of the distro!

Hi, I really like this extension, do you have any idea when it is going to be available for Songbird 1.2.x?

NimdaCinatas

Seems as if the whole addon information here is somewhat outdated...

The most current version (including support for Songbird 1.2.0) can be found here:
http://code.google.com/p/firetray/

...or via the firefox addons website.

robin0800

If you are using a development version and wish to use this add-on
Edit the install.rdf to include the songbird version you are using.

nortexoid

I used the development version with Songbird 1.2 and it works wonderfully, except that the close button minimizing function doesn't work. It closes Songbird. Clicking on the notification icon does the trick anyway.

Not a big fan of their icons though. One is an egg, and the other the black songbird with headphones on. They're typically larger than most notification icons (with panel set to 24 pixels). Oh well, there's an option to change them. Will see if that actually works.

Finally the order of the player controls is a bit odd. Next track comes first, THEN play, then previous track, etc. This definitely deviates from the norm (e.g. with Banshee, Rhythmbox, etc.) It should be changed for consistency.

nortexoid

(What I said about the control order is slightly false but the main point is true. Anyway...)

The option of selecting your own icon doesn't really work. Once you change tracks it changes from the user-selected icon to the default one. Too bad, because I had the perfect icon for it. I have to live with ugliness for now, unless I can just swap out the default icon from the add-on folder. Lemme see.

kellemes

@robin0800
Thanks for the tip, this makes it install fine..

Using Songbird 1.4.0a, Build 1246 (20090905013057) with Arch Linux.
"Close button minimizes to tray" doesn't work, the app simply closes..

Correction..
Using Songbird 1.5.0a, Build 1343 (20091101013059).
Same issue.

This is really the only major thing that is missing for me in Songbird. Everything else is working very well.

hello all, first of all ask permission and I thank InF3RNo for the add-on, I do run my songbird 1.4.3 with FireTray of InF3RNo, and I share it because I waited too long for the update and leave another , well the only thing to do is open the file "firetray_x86.xpi", then remove the file "install.rdf" and change these lines where the songbird and then save the file and change the modified into "firetray_x86 . xpi to your site ....

please comment, say if they work ....

sorry if I do not understand is that I speak Spanish and I am translating it with google ...

JSGosselin

Works like a charm. Thanks a lot dArK26! You can do it too with the FireTray 0.2.3 add-on.

The "Close Button Minimize to Tray" option isn't working, but it's no big deal.

JS

dArK26

que bien, bueno menos mal yo no me complico tanto ya que le doy al icono y listo... donde esta esa version 0.2.3?? que tiene de nuevo?? o es lo mismo??

dArK26

that right, well thank goodness I was not so complicated as I give to the icon and ready ... where is this version 0.2.3? What's new? or is it the same??

JSGosselin

v0.2.3 can be found on the mozilla site. Just Google Firetray and you should get to it easily. This add-on is good for Firefox, Thunderbird, Sunbird, Songbird and others. It is more up to date than this version, but still, it is not working without the little tweak in the "install.rdf" file.

JSGosselin

Furthermore, if you wish to have a custom tray icon for songbird, you can't do it directly from the preference panel of the add-on because songbird uses 2 icons: 1 when no song is playing and a second one when a song is playing.

In order to change both icons, you need to edit lines 11 to 14 directly in your "pref.js" file that you can find in your .songbird>*.default>extension>(folder associated with the firetray add-on)>default>preferences folder. For exemple, for me, it looks like:

pref("extensions.firetray.use_custom_normal_icon", true);
pref("extensions.firetray.use_custom_special_icon", true);
pref("extensions.firetray.custom_normal_icon", "/home/jsgosselin/Songbird/songbird-512.png");
pref("extensions.firetray.custom_special_icon", "/home/jsgosselin/Songbird/songbird-512.png");
