can't browse jamendo collection from rhythmbox plugin

[raphxl]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

since gutsy, I can't browse the jamendo collection from rhythmbox... I can listen for random music and the cover loads well, but that's all. The only thing I can see is the "Welcome" page (french in my case).

[Olivier (o-polette)]

I have the same problem.

Added information:
- It only happens since update to 0.11.2 of Rhythmbox.
- It is still possible to play random files from Jamendo (double-click on jamendo).
- Magnatunes works well.

Thanks

HI there
Could one of you please run rhythmbox from a terminal such as gnome-terminal and see if give you an error message?

thanks in advance

Hi,

Here is what it says

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins/jamendo/JamendoSource.py", line 161, in finish_loadscreen
    self.__load_db ()
  File "/usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins/jamendo/JamendoSource.py", line 332, in __load_db
    self.__db.set(entry, rhythmdb.PROP_TRACK_NUMBER, int(track['trackno']))
TypeError: could not convert argument from type '(null)' (0) to correct type 'gulong'

Thanks

Thanks for the report, thanks works fine here, can you test it with some new user?

Hi,

I created a new user and tried to use Jamendo under Rhythmebox -> same problem.

Thanks

Hello, I have the same problem

Jonathan Matthew correction like our problem....
http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/rhythmbox/trunk/plugins/jamendo/jamendo/JamendoSource.py?view=log

[Leon Timmermans (fawaka)]

I had the same problem. Interestingly, I didn't have it when I first used the plugin (yesterday). Weird stuff.
Bruno's suggestion seems to be right.
I changed line 332
    self.__db.set(entry, rhythmdb.PROP_TRACK_NUMBER, int(track['trackno']))
to
    trackno = int(track['trackno'])
    if trackno >= 0:
     self.__db.set(entry, rhythmdb.PROP_TRACK_NUMBER, trackno)
And now it works again. Thanks!

[raphxl (raphxl)]

Thank you Leon, Bruno's patch works well for me.

[Olivier (o-polette)]

Thanks all. It works now ! :-)

Both my 7.04 and 7.10 installations suffered from this same problem: stuck on the Jamendo "Splash" screen. To implement the patch as outlined above, I had to:

- delete /usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins/jamendo/JamendoSource.pyc
- patch JamendoSpurce.py as outlined above (the line numer on 7.04 was slightly different).
- run rhythmbox with sudo or gksu (so that the new JamendoSource.pyc) could be created in /usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins/jamendo/
- restart rhythmbox as user.

And now the plugin works on both 7.04 and 7.10.

thanks for the hint - but it's something that should be fixed.

regards

Marc

I have done eveything, but i doesn't work... :-(

please fix it for the next release.. i can't fix by myself :-(

thank you

hi, i've built a debdiff which fixes this problem. if someone wants to sort the ubuntu administration stuff out then go ahead.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The bug is fixed in hardy, not sure if that's worth a gutsy stable upload

[madskaddie (madskaddie)]

I had the same problem and thanks for the patch!

By the way, running rhythmbox as root its a very ugly bruteforce solution for the bytecode creation. I sugest something more elegant as opening a python console (in the /usr/lib/ryth,,, dir) and do:

import py_compile
py_compile.compile("JamendoSource.py")

and that's all (pretty simple, hum?)!

Now I can go to listen some good free music!

[Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen (ralf-nieuwenhuijsen)]

I think we would need just a gutsy-backport of the hardy version.

[Peer Wüschner (me-nyuviu)]

In Hardy the fix is not working, at least with me. No jamendo surfing ...

[njh (njh-njhurst)]

As far as I can see, that patch is implemented in hardy, yet I still can't see the music either.

[SyXbiT (syxbit)]

can confirm jamendo still doesn't work with Rhythmbox 0.11.5 in hardy x86

[Tom Imhof (tomimhof)]

confirmed running Rhythmbox 0.11.5 on Hardy. Welcome page is shown, connection is established but music list remains empty.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

please read bug 203428, isn't a rhythmbox problem rather a Jamendo itself one, thanks.
