    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.

    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.

    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)

    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?

  15. 11 months ago
    MatthewP 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.

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

    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?

    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.

    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.

    1.0.0rc1??
    Is it out? i think only ubuntu got it by nightly builds.
    However just modify the install that comes with the extension
    and should work

    cheers

    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.

    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.

    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

    Donalb thx for the report about the strange behavior which i don't know how to fix atm.
    On my computer i have got the tray menu voices doubled one time only.
    Maybe something is resident in gtk options or something like that, this would justify this weird behavior.

    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 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

    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 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 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.

    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?

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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
