Questions re: Pmusic config in BionicPup32

Post by gychang »

I am running BP32 frugal install into my HD. Considering migrating to Pmusic from my usual deadbeef, since Pmusic is the default player in BP32.

1. can the columns in the main window be moved or deleted, e.g. "Title" "Album" "Nr" as shown in the picture?
2. Can the main window (dark gray) and queque window (light green) be width adjusted? I can adjust individual column width in the main window but not in between the two windows.
3. What steps are necessary to get the album cover to show?

thanks in advance.

1. What columns shown in the source-list (left pane) is set in the config-file. See /root/.pmusic/pmusicrc.

2. Since gtkdialog misses support for general gui resizing, it is not easy-peasy to get a bigger playqueue. Though, it is not that hard... Line 29 in /usr/local/frontends/Manager controls the width of the playqueue.

Code: Select all

<vbox width-request="350">

Change the 350 pixels to whatever you like. You have to rebuild the pmusic gui-code to see the differences - Do that by clicking the "OK"-button in the preferences dialog.

3. The albumart is activated in the preferences dialog. See file-menu. Go to the trackinfo-tab and turn on album-art. This should be it, but since online services are shut down from time to time, it might be a good idea to update pMusic to the latest version (6.0.1).
