Hi friend. This theme looks very cool but not work on my machine. You could give me some help?
I have installed the final version of Screenlets and all of this works fine.

Have you installed MPD, configured it and update the properties of the screenlet?
Does any other client work for you (like mpc or gmpc)?

Sorry my friend, but your screenlet still not work on my computer. I don't know what is wrong.
This screenlet need a special pack of dependencies?

I completly reinstalled my screenlet and it was working, so check if you have the lastest screenlets installed (I have the version 0.1.2).

If you have it, open a terminal, cd to the ~/.screenlets/MusicPlayerDaemon (or wherever you installed it) and execute 'python MusicPlayerDaemonScreenlet.py'. Then send me the output, it should tell what is going wrong.

This is the result on terminal:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "MusicPlayerDaemonScreenlet.py", line 45, in <module>
from screenlets import DefaultMenuItem, Plugins
ImportError: cannot import name Plugins

Hello...
I got some free days now (just after all the exams), so I've implemented some new features.

Now I just need 2 things:
- some cool skins (I hope someone will do them because I'm not very gifted for drawing)
- a way to get the artwork: right now, I'm stuck there, I don't know how to get the album (or any other specific info) for the current playing song using mpc and I don't know where (or how) to retrieve the album image

This project looks really promising!

I have two requests, even if I don't know if the first is possible to implement.

(1) A jump to / filter control. That would only play files containing that i want, or that I could jump to a certain song. Like "J" in winamp.

(2) Cover art. Bling-bling is always nice.


Good mate.

Cover art is finally here :)

I will implement a playlist manager (with the jump function). It's the main feature for the next version.

Cover art will be implmented if I will have some free time.

As it comes to the filtering inside the playlist, I don't think it's possible.

New ideas are welcome...

Nice!

If you want some GUI-help or with theming I can assist. But code I can not, heard it is the path to the dark side...

A new version is here... v0.2 features: optimized interface and playlist support

I don't really have any artistic skills, if you want to make a new theme go on.
(After this update it will be easier. You just have to change the file theme_display.xml)

I didn't used .conf files, but you can set such information inside the theme.xml file which isterpreted when you change the current theme.

P.S.: By the way, I think that updates of screenlet's plugins has to be sent to you. Inside MPD screenlet you will find the modified cover art plugin.
