Thanks for the awesome script! One thing I really would like to see is the ability to set a playlist to play when the alarm goes off. Ideally, I could choose a playlist from the automatic playlist generator. I made a playlist that wakes me in the morning, but I don't like that I still have to set it manually.

Why alarm doesn't work after rebooting my computer? I've just settled turning my computer on by timer and... after Ubuntu finished loading (it was before alarm time), Amarok wasn't started.

Thanks for this script. It wakes me up in the mornings :). A tip to make it even better is to be able to tell which weekdays I want the alarm. As it is now I turn it off Fridays and turn it back on Sundays to not be woken early in the weekends. It could even be configured to start different times for different weekdays. Something similar to this script for Amarok 1: http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/weekalarm?content=23160

Great script, I really like it. There's a couple things that I think are confusing to new users. 1) When configuring the alarms, there is a save button (good) and a "cancel" button. Since the dialog does not close when "save" is clicked, it is unintuitive to click "cancel" after saving. Perhaps changing it to "close" would be more clear. 2) I like the info box that appears, but it is also a little unclear. Do I need to leave amarok running for the alarm to activate? I think clarifying the text would be fairly easy. Hate to have someone miss work because they misunderstood "alarm's" abilities. Thanks for the script; previously I had to use kalarm+vlc, which was a pain.

Hi Gabriel! Gratulation for this great script! Wouldn't it be even better, if it could wake up the computer (if he supports ACPI-RTC wake up)? HINT: use echo UTCTIMESTAMP > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm to store an alarm. If the boards accepts alarms you can read the stored alarm in /proc/driver/rtc

you can add ticks by patching with the following *** main.js Tue May 5 01:52:02 2009 --- main.js.new Tue Jul 7 23:17:52 2009 *************** *** 179,184 **** --- 179,186 ---- g.objectName="init_vol"; g.orientation = Qt.Horizontal; g.maximum=100; + g.tickInterval = 10; + g.tickPosition = QSlider.TicksAbove; g.setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy.MinimumExpanding, QSizePolicy.Fixed); l.setWidget(1,QFormLayout.FieldRole, g) *************** *** 202,207 **** --- 204,211 ---- h.objectName="final_vol"; h.orientation = Qt.Horizontal; h.maximum=100; + h.tickInterval = 10; + h.tickPosition = QSlider.TicksAbove; h.setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy.MinimumExpanding, QSizePolicy.Fixed); l.setWidget(3,QFormLayout.FieldRole, h)

I have a bug with the Mandriva 2009.1 version of Amarok 2. At first, I had no menu entry in order to open the configuration panel... So I looked in the Alarm sources and tried to execute some of this : I managed to make the menu entry appear, but not to make the connexion with the function onConfigure (it tells me that onConfigure isn't defined). No way to understand what's wrong with it. Anyway, glad to see this add-on ! The world need this feature.

Great script. Very useful. But it doesn't work after updating amarok to svn (amarok 2.1 betas). Debug shows: amarok: [ScriptManager] [ERROR!] Script Error: "01:46:50 Error: Function.prototype.connect: ambiguous connect to KAction::triggered(); candidates are triggered() triggered(bool) triggered(Qt::MouseButtons,Qt::KeyboardModifiers) Use e.g. object['triggered(Qt::MouseButtons,Qt::KeyboardModifiers)'].connect() to connect to a particular overload on Line: 177"

Thought it wasn't working at first when I tested it with a time 1 minute in the future, until I realised that it won't start for alarms less than 2 minutes from the current time. Works really well otherwise - thanks for this, it's been the only thing I've been missing from Amarok 2. :)
