How to install the plugin ?

Hi, I think the rhythmbox support may be currently broken, but quodlibet should work. The plugin should be installed to the 'events' plugin directory, rather than the 'songsmenu' one.

Also, rather that putting all the files in /usr/lib/..., I'd suggest putting them in ~/.quodlibet/plugins/events, which is the recommended place to put plugins, and you won't need root access to put them there.

If things still don't work, there is a 'Show Errors' button in the quodlibet plugins dialog, and pasting any tracebacks related to autoque from there will help me determine what the problem could be.

Hey Eric, your plugin sounds great and I'd love to get it running. My traceback:

quodlibet_autoqueue

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/mellort/.quodlibet/plugins/events/quodlibet_autoqueue.py", line 17, in <module>

hi awegawef,

It looks like you only dropped the quodlibet_autoqueue.py file in the ~/.quodlibet/plugin/events directory. It also needs autoqueue.py, mirage.py and the res/ directory to be there.

I am working on making autoqueue easier to install, so that it will be just a single file, but I don't know when this will happen exactly.

Also: next time, could you please open a new bug or question, so that different issues stay small and isolated? That makes it easier to mark bugs as fixed.

Hi Pratyush,

I now have commited a fix so that rhythmbox support should once again work.

The installation steps you mention above are correct, so:

1) Downloaded the package using: bzr branch lp:autoqueue
2) Copied autoqueue.py,
 mirage.py,
 mirage_miximize.py,
 mirage_songs.py,
 rhythmbox_autoqueue.py,
 rhythmbox_autoqueue.rb-plugin
 and res directory
to ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/plugins
3) Started Rhythmbox >> Activated Autoqueue Plugin

If you're curious to see what the plugin does, or check that it's working at all, start rhythmbox from the command line like so
;

rhythmbox -D autoqueue

Note that the rhythmbox version is not configurable (yet) and it doesn't have all the nifty options the quodlibet version has, simply because rhythmbox doesn't have all the features quodlibet does.

Please let me know if it now works for you, so that I can close this bug.

Hi Eric,

thanks for the efforts. I tried the above instructions but I doubt it worked. Here is the log:

Am I doing it wrong ?

I think you haven't updated to the latest version yet, the easiest way to make sure is, in a terminal:

bzr branch lp:autoqueue

and then copy the files in the autoqueue directory that creates and place them in the proper place.

If you have already done so, perhaps there are .pyc files that are out of date (which sometimes happens when using symbolic links) so perhaps deleting those and starting rhythmbox again may help.

or alternatively, in your current checkout, do a bzr pull. That should result in some changes.

I'm trying to find out if the RB update works.

I've pulled the latest bzr. However the instructions are not entirely clear to me, as there appear to be multiple plugins in the single pull, and there is an autoqueue under a dir called autoqueue, So when you suggest I move a file to the autoqueue dir, I'm not sure what you mean. I'm new to RB plugins so please bear with me.

It would be great if you could confirm that this is the entire list of file moves needed to get this working:

Hi Kirk,

actually running:

sudo python setup.py install

should install the plugin for rhythmbox (if rhythmbox is installed already)
