Author Topic: Python Frontend For Mplayer (Read 5630 times)

2or0 · « **on:** January 30, 2006, 11:42:28 am »

I found a pygtk frontend for mplayer, pymp. It is simple and easy to use. I compiled and packaged it.

pymp
"Pymp, formerly Gay Media Player, is a GTK2 based interface for the wonderful and ubiquitous MPlayer movie player. It is written in Python, and therefore uses PyGtk. I think that takes care of most of the plugs."

In details, see the project page: http://jdolan.dyndns.org/jaydolan/pymp.html

Hey 2or0. I installed your package on my poodle under OZ-GPE test5 (as well as python-pygtk-dev, python-re, python-shell & python-stringold). I get the following error:

Code: [Select]

grog:$ pymp
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./pymp.py", line 3, in ?
ImportError: No module named fcntl

I'm not a python guy. Any idea what I'm missing? thks

Strike that. I had to install the python-fnctl ipk (DUH!). I'm now stuck on the error:

Code: [Select]

grog:$ pymp
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./pymp.py", line 3, in ?
ImportError: No module named pygtk

It must be a that there's doesn't seem to be a 'python-pygtk' ipk available. I'll work on it. thks

In the feed, you can find 'pygtk_2.5.3_armv5tel.ipk'. But I don't know it works under OZ.

Probably wouldn't work. I had to tweak your ipk a bit before I could install it as well. I'm going to pm the maintainer of the -dev packages & see if he can supply a package for GPE.

Thanks for your help.

I've got pygtk installed under pdaXii13 but when I try to run pymp it says

No module named fnmatch

Any ideas how I can fix that?

python-shell in the official feed contains fnmatch module. You should install it.

This is handy I never saw it before- much lighter than using xmms as a frontend forX

If you install python_2.4.1_arm.ipk (6Mb) it has all the main python modules included and you will just need pygtk to go with it.

Really nice alternative to XMMS ...
How to change the font size ?
What are the keyboard shortcuts ?

So far I found:
Enter/OK: play the song
Backspace: stop
ctrl + N: next in playlist
ctrl + P: previous in playlist
ctrl + O: open dialog
ctrl + Q: quit
y: pause/play again, though needs to press cancel in between as pressing any letter activate the search utility
ctrl + A: select all songs in playlist
shift + arrow up/down or P/N: select multiple songs
ctrl + S: save dialog
ctrl + F: search utility
ctrl + H: help about dialog
ctrl + L: open location dialog
space: restarts the song from the beginning
ctrl + space: goes ~5s back
Fn + Up: 1st song in playlist
Fn + Down: last song in playlist

Icons and font too small
Percentage instead of time elapsed
Drag and drop files and folders from File Manager (nice)
Very basic search utility
No volume Up/Down ?

I don't understand how the Options/ Edit config works.
What can we put in it ?

Thanks

imho the same sorts of mplayer options you'd feed it when launching, or in mplayer.conf

zi99y · « **Reply #10 on:** December 03, 2006, 07:15:26 pm »

yes, command line arguments - see the mplayer docs for more info on that. To change the font size you can edit .gtkrc which will change for all gtk apps.

I have installed pymp e python, but I can play anything.
Pymp run and I have a list of file, but don't work. Nothing happends.

danboid · « **Reply #12 on:** December 04, 2006, 04:51:03 am »

I also had to install a package called something like python-http to get a python urllib module to get pymp to run but for me (under pdaxii13) it took much longer than xmms to load, consumed all my RAM (it was the only open app) and then I only managed to get it to very, very jerkily play some .ogg files so I gave up on this one. No-one else experience this?

The gui works fine for me for audio and video playback but the font of the playlist and icons are way too small so you cannot really use it. This isn't connected to the font size in .gtkrc-2.0 but must be part of the script. I went through the files in /usr/lib/gymp but found nothing so far...

Install python-html which has urllib module.

The files in /usr/lib/pymp are already compiled. So you can download an attached file and replace playlist.pyc with this file. If you want to change font size. find "font = pango.FontDescription("14")" in the file and change "14" which is font size.
