Hi there,
This script rocks!!! All of my friends were shocked when they saw the website.
However, I noticed that whenever I view an album that has a similar name on another artist (for example: both Backstreet Boys and Earth, Wind & Fire have an album named "Millenium"), only one of them will viewed on the website. Either both will show backstreet boys' album cover or EWF's cover.
Thanks a lot, anyway. :)
man this is soo slick, it just needs a little polish and it will the sweetest thing to hit amarok ever. basically, I'm excited about when I can keep only mp3s on my main computer and have a nice pretty web interface that I can stream them from for everywhere else...
Obviously, things that need work are playlists and general interface stuff, I hope you keep up the great work.
The script seems to work again under amarok-1.4beta2. But I would like to make a feature request for the next version: Would you consider to extended the functionality such that it works also like the amarok jukebox script here on kde-apps.org. I mean instead of streaming the selected mp3 just beeing a remote by making player/playlist dcop calls to amarok.
Thanks, Val.
Seems not to work with amarok 1.4. Are you still working on it?
(Would use it happily if I wouldn't have killed my simpad web pad :( ).
Thanks for the effort, Val.
Hi,
Yes it is not dead :) In fact 0.1.3 does not work with MySQL. I've released a beta version to correct the problem (see on http://kubuntu.free.fr/wabarok/index.php?p=down )
About amaroK 1.4, I think that I'll wait for ubuntu dapper to be released. So that I will just have to install packages (yes I'm lazy ;) )
Hi, wabaroK is great, but i have a suggestion :
In my collection i have some artists who have songs tagged to no album. Is it possible that your web interface displays them directly under the artist section ?
bye
Hi, thanks for your comments.
Well I'm not sure to understand what you'd like. I also have artists without album and they are listed in artists.
But the songs are not listed in the 'Albums of artist' (2nd screenshot). Is it your wish ?
I think this means that songs by an artist without an album assigned are not shown in the artis-view.
So if you look for a song from Nick Cave, you just see the Albums of Nick Cave, but not a single song that is not assigned to an album in the collection that is from him.
I hope that makes it a bit clearer... Dominik.
I quite like this script, but does it run in a single thread? I am not able to listen to a stream and then continue browsing. Also it's not ideal for multiple users this way.
Hi, Thanks for your feedback. Yes the requests are treated by only one thread.
I think this will change for next version. I hope to release it by the end of january.
Well, I wanted to "HTMLize" my collection, so I've search for scripts to do that. I've found 2 (yours and another) but they didn't fullfil my needs (I prefer a dynamic version but I don't want to run apache/mysql nor migrate my db)
So I developed mine. (full story in french on my blog http://kubuntu.free.fr/wordpress/index.php?p=39)
I've added links to thoses scripts in the description.
I notice that anybody accessing this interface has full filesystem read access (same access as user running this script)
To convince you, just type
wget 'http://localhost:1234/mp3?url=/etc/fstab' -O -
in a console, and you will get the file /etc/fstab if the user has read access to this file (if you ask for a directory, the script simply crashes).
good bye privacy ! (and maybe security)
Thanks for your report. I've missed this issue wich is really bad :(
Now it is corrected (0.1.3), the script can only display files within collection directories (from amaroK configuration)
cool :)
(and my nickname isn't "bugmenot" :) (it comes from the site bugmenot.com that let me add a comment without having to register here), my nickname is "ntome" :) )
now a suggestion :), maybe you could reencod files (with lame for example) so they would be smaller in order to transfer over internet
where are the installation instructions?
sorry, but developers need to start realizing that not everyone who comes to KDE-APPS is a programmer or Linux/BSD guru.
Well, as every other scripts in this category, you can install it with the amaroK menu : Tools/Scripts
You can also look at this script web page (Link at the top), I've made a documentation with Install instructions and screenshots.

I cannot start this script:
Traceback (most recent call last):

return dict(self.execSql("select id||'##'||name from artist"))
ValueError: dictionary update sequence element #0 has length 1; 2 is required
What is wrong?
Hum I reproduced that if dcop send me a line without \n. That should not append.
If it is, this should be corrected with 0.1.1. If not you can set debug=1 in file ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/scripts/wabaroK/amaroKdcop.py and send me the output and the file ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/scripts-data/wabaout.log
(maybe by mail because this will be quite huge)
Thank you
Hi! I upgraded to newer version, but still I cant start the script.

Where ever did you get the inspiration for this project?

being irritable. The link to the graphic is awesome, I just didn't know it was there. And an awesome job putting this together.
