Tried it on windows, perfect for my needs, but doesnt seem to be working with snarl... Any special method to get this going?

atreiu

Same problem here. Only the ugly default alert window is showing up, no snarl. Do I have to install/prepare something beside your add-on and the current snarl program?

atreiu

Yep:
Error: notifyMeService: [ERROR] - Failed to load Snarl Service: TypeError: Cc['@tlhan-ghun.de/snarlInterface;4'] is undefined

Line: 109

atreiu

Don't know if this helps you: if i install SongSnarl Add-on, your add-on works too. Of course i then got 2 snarl-messages, which kind of make this workaround useless. But perhaps it helps finding the problem...

therealmorris

Same error message for me, and that "workaround" does work too

atreiu

Still no snarl for me, and now not even the alert-toasters appear. It just does nothing. No error-message, either. :-/
I have to stick with SongSnarl, even when i like your add-on better, with album-art and ratings etc...

Please get this to work with snarl.

GeekShadow

Like me... still don't work with Snarl

cron

It stopped working when I updated today! Anyone having the same problem, or is it just me?

MozillaSnarls

@stevo: just contact me about the Snarl integration - will be happy to help you :)

Having growl notifications (and other notifications for other systems) would be great. I've read the bug report and subsequent discussion on bugzilla, using the relevant mozilla library for this sounds great. Now it needs to be done.

Will this add-on be updated, or is it dropped in favor of (a future) core implementation?

florentv

Great extension. I hope it gets into Core at some point.

The track length is a bit strange because when starting a song it says 0:00 / 3:35 for instance, which gives you the song length and the information that you're at the start of the song, but is flawed usability-wise because the time doesn't change in the few seconds that the notification is shown (does not go from 0:00, 0:04 or 0:05, but stays at 0:00 even though the song is playing). If it were not for the notification at the end of a song, I would advise to remove the current time altogether.

Linkz57

Works well for me with Growl 1.1.4

Nice work.

macat

it doesn't work with ubuntu 8.04, Songbird 1.0RC3.

kanejo

I have songbird 1.0 one and Notify me (latest version) and also installed Snarl, but snarl notification does not seem to work..plus Notify me can't be seen using the YABS feather..any suggestions anyone?

animarval

Why 2 extensions?

atreiu

I just wanted to take a look at notify me, to fix kanejo's problem, but I can't get the "alertService" - pop up to work. I'm running XP SP3 and have not Snarl installed. But I see nothing from "notify me" with default Gonzo. Any ideas?

deOmega

Same thing here, I want to use this addon very much, but cannot get it to work, neither by itself, nor with the Songsnarl. But SongNotifier works, but I just learn that it retrieves unavailable album artwork from last.fm, and I do not like that, since i already have mash tape scouring the web, plus... I like the flexibility that your addons usually bring, but man, I just cannot get a chance to test this one. I am using Songbird 1.0 on windows Vista.

theanalogkid

I am getting an error in Ubuntu Linux, when starting Songbird, I get the following error message:

WARNING: NS_ENSURE_TRUE(mMediaItem) failed: file /home/steven/sbird/trunk/extensions/notifyme/components/sbINotifyMeService/src/sbNotifyMeService.cpp, line 220

I do not get any results from the Addon, I assume it is stopping at this error. The error keeps looping, while Songbird still functions.

sportman1280

I also get the error:

WARNING: NS_ENSURE_TRUE(mMediaItem) failed: file /home/steven/sbird/trunk/extensions/notifyme/components/sbINotifyMeService/src/sbNotifyMeService.cpp, line 220

sportman1280

I installed the libglib1.2ldbl package and still get the same error in ubuntu:

WARNING: NS_ENSURE_TRUE(mMediaItem) failed: file /home/steven/sbird/trunk/extensions/notifyme/components/sbINotifyMeService/src/sbNotifyMeService.cpp, line 220

libglib2.0-0 was already installed It is looking in the folder /home/steven/ which is not correct. there is no such place as /home/steven, as there is only one user on my computer, Pete.

Rolle

It's kinda ugly on my opensuse.

wire_wax

I have it working on ubuntu 8.04 which has libglib1.2 installed by default by the looks of things

However, it seems when the song has album art only the song name and the album art shows - no album/artist/time/rating text

wire_wax

I take that back - it's only on one album - Kanye West 808s & Heartbreak... weird...

dadrivr

I think it would be a great feature if a sound/beep could notify when the currently playing song has not yet been rated. I love your program and think this would be a great addition. Thanks!

okplanets

Not working at all with Snarl on windows XP. I'd really appreciate some work on this!

dragonmage

XP_SP2, no SNARL, no notification.

I also want to suggest an idea. I don't know if it's possible but could you have it check the current feather for an image to use and maybe settings for coords of text items to. That way designers could make notify windows that correspond to their theme. If it doesn't find the info in the feather then it would use the standard methods.

fallenhammer

Can you update it to Songbird 1.1.1.
It worked flawlessly in Ubuntu 9.04 with Songbird 1.0
And it looked very nice!

timpalpant

@fallenhammer:

Could you explain how you got it working in Ubuntu 9.04. I can't seem to get it to work (and I have every libnotify package installed + libglib1.2ldbl)

TedJ

As a fan of all things growl, I'd also love to see an update for Songbird 1.1.1...

drleper

I'd like to try this on 1.1.1 too.

I saw a post from stevo somewhere about needing help maintaining his addons, maybe someone knowledgeable about this sort of thing could take over?

Manusnake

And, make it compatible with 1.2.0a with it please ;-) (ok, I'm sort of abusing here, but 1.2.a does work better, at least on Mac, and lots of add-ons already are compatible with it)

fallenhammer

@timpalpant

As far as I remember I have only installed libglib1.2ldbl and after a restart it worked.
But I'm still waiting to try this on 1.1.1

Sloshy

This works AWESOME on Ubuntu 9.04 with songbird 1.1.1. I've made an unofficial package for it so you can get it for yourselves. Click here to install it.

crud nevermind my last comment... HERE it is: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/807039/notifyme-1.2.1_dev-Linux_x86-gcc3_UNOFFICIAL.xpi (copy & paste)

Sloshy

Dangit whats wrong with this website? My last two posts were screwed up! Ugh, well lets hope this one goes through right: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/807039/notifyme-1.2.1_dev-Linux_x86-gcc3_UNOFFICIAL.xpi

Ginger

I tried to use your unofficial package, but Songbird wouldn't let me install it. It returned an error, ""Notify Me" could not be installed because it is not compatible with your Songbird build type (Linux_x86_64-gcc3). Please contact the author of this item about the problem."" I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 x64 with Songbird 1.1.1, Build 1018.

fallenhammer

@Sloshy
can you make a package for jaunty amd64
i'm using songbird 1.1.1
thanks

Sloshy

Alrighty, 64bit version, here you are (I haven't tested it yet, so tell me how it works, k?) http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/807039/notifyme-1.2.1_dev-Linux_x86_64-gcc3_UNOFFICIAL.xpi

For the record I just unzipped the extension and upped the max version allowed to install (its not hard if you know how, which is super easy to learn).

fallenhammer

Thanks Sloshy!!

It worked fine in Ubuntu 9.04 amd64 and Songbird 1.1.1

rocbkadt

@ fallenhammer

I tried to install on Ubuntu 9.04 amd64 and Sonbird 1.1.1 without any luck. Can you please give me the steps you took in case I am missing something?

therealmccoy

Any chance of an update for OS X?

rocbkadt

I got it working now, seems I hadn't enabled it in the side pane. Thanks for a great addon! Exactly what I was looking for.

awhalen

I've posted a simple write-up on how to edit an add-on's max version (for OS X at least):
http://amwhalen.com/blog/archives/2009/04/08/editing-songbird-add-ons

You can also just download the completed file from there if you don't care how it's done :)

Erikw

Please update! GROWL i much better then a soulution like "Song Notifier"

Ginger

@Sloshy

Well, your 64bit version will allow me to install it. However, it doesn't seem to work for me. I don't really know what I could do to fix it. Am I missing some library or package? Is it because I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 instead of 9.04?

cecanor

update! you must update! please!

drleper

thanks awhalen!

hubbird

This could be great, but needs a preference to switch off the notification that occurs near the end of tracks. The component code is compiled, otherwise I'd make the change myself...

McFlow

Hi,
I changed max Version to 1.1.2 and I installed the plugin. I am using 9.04 and hoped that the plugin would work with the new cool notification system. But nothing happens.
libglib1.2 and everything concerning libnotify is installed. (with Tunderbird and Pidgin I am able to use the notification system).
Any help? :)

moreglobe3

The install button is disabled for me. Says my player is not compatible. Songbird 1.1.2, Gnome Ubuntu 9.04, 64bit

RPG_Master

Exact same situation as moreglobe3 :(

Call to devs: Adopt this addon

http://blog.songbirdnest.com/2009/03/03/adopt-a-stevo-add-on/

An update would be amazing

joux

This Addon works fine on Ubuntu 9.04, when tweaking the maxversion in install.rdf. Libnotify installed, Songbird 1.1.2

joux

Works for me too. (Ubuntu 9.04) Thanks for the tip!

seltaeb

Works on Mac OS X 10.5.7 with Growl 1.1.4 -- after tweaking the Max Version in install.rdf.

One possible bug (feature?) though, a few seconds before the end of each track the notification pops-up with the current track details. I will see if I can track down / fix the bug (just getting started with extension development and browsing through the dev docs right now).

seltaeb

^^^^ It's a 'feature' - so won't touch it :)

jonkoay

Not updated to support Songbird 1.2?

aaronos

Great plugin, waiting (patiently) for songbird coming in to focus when the notification is clicked.

jeromatron

1.2 support?

hemanwomanhater

I followed selaeb's lead and changed the maxversion; seems to work perfectly in version 1.2. But seltaeb, I would have no problem with the option for enabling or disabling the notification that pops up at the end of the track. And also the ability to customize the information shown - for instance, the current playing time is not really necessary, nor is the rating (for me, at least). But either way, it's still the only Growl notification for OS X so I'll continue using it. Thanks a lot stevo and seltaeb.

krivi

Please make it compatible with 1.2.

Thank you

Erikw

Ohh I miss this add-on. It's awesome!

joux

By the way, if you don't want the notification again at the end of the song (seltaeb?), there is an option to disable it. You can only access it through about:config, though. Just switch songbird.notifyme.endtime.enabled to false, then restart Songbird.

unai

Just modified the add-on so we can use it on songbird 1.2 :)

Get it from here:

I have upgraded the modification above so it works with Songbird 1.4.3 :)

"I have upgraded the modification above so it works with Songbird 1.4.3 :)"

I tried to install this and got the following error (I have Songbird 1.4.3):

"'Notify Me' could not be installed because it is not compatible with your Songbird build type (Linux_x86-gcc3). Please contact the author of this item about the problem."

Could you open the code? I'd like to make some improvements.
