Sorry for the delayed response. Using the current 3.3.x branch of Exaile, I can see the comment field from this file, I seem to recall that was fixed awhile ago but we haven't had a release since then. Hopefully will have a release this fall.

I added original date and cover to the MP4/M4A format. Fixed in trunk @ r4405, in 3.3.x @ r4334

Could you give me the patch that could already apply on my PC.

When can i download the release 3.3.2 ?

[Olivier BROCHARD (olivier-brochard)]

I succeed to download the exaile-devel version :
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~exaile-devel/exaile/3.3.x/revision/4335?start_revid=4335

OK :
The cover are dispalyed on the header area

KO:
Before changing a track take 3s, with the patch a track change take 35s !!!!!!

could you please find a solution....

[Olivier BROCHARD (olivier-brochard)]

The problem is on OSD plugin

file : ~exaile/plugins/notifyosd/__init__.py

line 127 (see comments line in the block)
         self.update_notify()

        #if settings.get_option("plugin/notifyosd/show_when_focused", \
        # True) or not self.exaile.gui.main.window.is_active():
        if not self.exaile.gui.main.window.is_active():
            try:
                self.notify.show()
            except glib.GError, e:
                logger.warning("error showing OSD notification: %s" % e )
                logger.warning("Perhaps notify-osd is not installed?"

=> Problem, the icon (play, pause) is not displayed (<=> not refresh) on playlist panel

Could you find a better solution than comment lines and find a solution for the playlist track refresh

[Olivier BROCHARD (olivier-brochard)]

The patch is correct ....

The trouble come from my installation, i used "dpkg -i exaile_3.3.1-1ubuntu1_all.deb" instead manual installation by exaile-3.3-1.tar.gz

Re: icon not being displayed

If you are still having a problem with that, please file a separate bug.
