Ultimate Player

Postby TheeMahn » Tue Aug 16, 2011 2:12 pm

A new music player is coming soon to a server near you...
ultimateplayer.png
Ultimate Player 0.7.3


The player was built against Clementine, which in itself is built against the Amarok 1.4 tree.

Why am I doing such? Amarok dependencies have become a crippling factor in newer O/S builds, same as Ultamatix has done to me, time permitting I may come back and squash those issues as well.

Why most of the changes I have currently implemented have been cosmetic & a little C handywork. I do intend to add new features. I have played with SQL more then once. I am going to keep you in the dark at this time on my intentions of this program, I do intend to make it the Ultimate Player ;)

Building it from source:

1. Grab the source code (newer then the debs).
ultimate-player-0.7.4.tar.gz
Ultimate Player source code arch independent.
(6.28 MiB) Downloaded 1336 times


2. Grab dependencies (in a terminal):
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install liblastfm-dev libtag1-dev gettext libboost-dev \
    libboost-serialization-dev libqt4-dev qt4-dev-tools libqt4-opengl-dev \
    cmake libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev \
    libglew1.5-dev libgpod-dev libimobiledevice-dev libplist-dev libusbmuxd-dev \
    libmtp-dev libindicate-qt-dev python-qt4-dev python-sip-dev python-dev \
    libarchive-dev libcdio-dev


3. Change to the folder you downloaded it to (assuming ~/Downloads/)
Code: Select all
cd Downloads/


4. Extract the source assuming 0.7.4 in this example:
Code: Select all
tar xfv ultimate-player-0.7.4.tar.gz


5. Change directories to initiate configuration & build (yes two dots):
Code: Select all
cd ultimate-player-0.7.4/bin/
cmake ..


5A. If you wish to see unimplemented features:
Code: Select all
cmake -i ..


6. Build the executable:
Code: Select all
make


Let me try and save some of you some time in compiling. I have a Quadcore processor substitute the number of cores I "make -j4", j is job threads one per core.

I hope you love the music player as much as I do. My major focus of attention will now be adding features w/o bloating the software & maintain a small footprint. I have ripped out features in what I feel was unnecessary. Hypnotoad and the kitty ;) Your feedback is appreciated.

Enjoy,

Theemahn

TheeMann - the player looks inviting in the screen shots so, I installed following your quick coding in the text boxes.
Everything went well, no errors or anything but, I'm darned if I can find the program.

What have you called it? Ultimate Player, Clementine...? Do I need to reboot?

I have searched the menus and the system for anything with Player in the name but, can't find it.

I feel like an idiot just now so please be gentle...

Thanks,

Dougal.

Installed Ultimate Player on 2.7 and right off I'm elated to see there's an accurate adjustable crossfade! I had not used Clementine prior (beyond brief testing, I chose to use Audacious) so I didn't know what to expect. I'm really loving the many options and preferences settings included. Very in depth, well thought out and friendly player. I'm extremely impressed and it seems to be living up to it's name. I've been tossing alot at it and tasking away at other junk and this players churning along without a click even. EQ is top notch smooth, and very rich and precise. I believe this will take over the job of player on my systems here and I want to thank you for another piece of well crafted effort. I wish 3.0 would get the go ahead, so I could try UEP with that. Thanks for everything team, there's nothing like Ultimate Edition! <BREW>

Thanks brother, I greatly appreciate you going out of you way to test it. I have pulled the git clone and have seen they have added some nice features & a few I do not care for. I probably won't have the time to really tear into development until I have Ultimate Edition 3.1 sitting on the web. Which has been fighting me tooth and nail. I am hoping I have a solution to this problem (untried currently).

There are pre-compiled debs here. I have not re-written the CMakeLists.txt, so if you compile it from source will still be called clementine for now.

Found Clementine in the Ultimate Player folder. It fires up quickly. There appears to be a small problem, maybe it's me... I have my music files on another partition at the moment. The other partition is running Ubuntu 11.04 if that matters.
Anyways, when I click to 'Open' a folder, Ultimate Player closes.
Reopening Ultimate Player shows the folder has not been taken into the library.
If I backtrack to upper levels using the 'Up a level' button, things stop at Root. Getting to the other partition does not seem possible.

Hope this helps in your development.

I did try the other debs but, on the AMD64 architecture a couple of dependencies were not satisfiable. libimobiledevice0 (>= 0.9.7) on the lucid AMD64 deb and libglew1.5 (>= 1.5.7.is.1.5.2) on the natty deb. I presume because I am not running the version of Ultimate Edition that is required. I am running 2.9 (Maverick Meerkat).

The natty build most likely will not work on older versions of unbuntu or Ultimate Edition . Did you have the other partition mounted? i have my music library on a second hard drive and have had no issues minus when it is not mounted. I am not trying to be insulting mind you some times its the little things that get you or are over looked. Will pass along the information to Thee and see if he can recreate the partition issue since he has hard drives broke down like that.

Thanks Meister - it looks like you may be correct. Strange that I haven't noticed that the other filesystem is not mounted automatically when I open 'Places'.
I have always assumed that when it appears in the Tree on the left with the eject icon that it is mounted.

This time I deliberately hit the 101Gb Filesystem in the Places menu instead of 'Computer' and I could now add a music album folder to UP library.
I have attached a screen dump to showing the usual Linux Folder Tree structure. To a novice, new to Linux, there is no way they could determine where to find their music if it is on another partition.
After a little exploration I found it within the 'media' branch of the Tree.

I also saw that after selecting a folder to browse for adding to the library that, there is a hex folder name in the path after 'Media' but before 'home' on my other partition. This is very clumsy. I suppose it is part of the folder Tree structure in Linux in general and not part of the Ultimate Player as such. If I add a folder from my current partition there is no hex name in the path.

So just a thought for the future and I don't know who might be doing this but, perhaps a reconstruction of the Linux folder names into something that makes sense to all us less technically minded and maybe even hiding all folders that would not normally be accessed for anything other than programme execution and everyday working with files for saving, copying, pasting, renaming, etc. All the 'normal' stuff we would do every day. Not the extraction and building sort of work. The individual programmes used for such work could make folders specifically needed then visible for use.
It would cut down on unnecessary clutter in the folder Tree.

Am I making sense?

The player works well TheeMann. I love the equalizer available as standard and the visualization works well too. I must play with it more when I have time.

Cheers, I hope I have been helpful and not fussy...
