[gentoo-user] exaile + XFCE + global shortcuts

[gentoo-user] exaile + XFCE + global shortcuts

[Arnau Bria]

Hi all,

I'm moving from amarok to exaile.

Now I'm trying to configure my global shortcuts on XFCE. I've read
somewhere (forums+google) that I should have some exaile plugin called
"keyboard shortcut", but I don't have it when I open the plugin dialog
box. I don't find any plugin in portage and I don't know if I have to
manually download it or not (and where to get it).

I'm using 0.2.99.

Could someone that is already using exaile give me some help on this
issue?



TIA;

Ps: I tried to ask to exaile mailing list, but I don't know why my
questions do not reach the list. Yes, I did subscribe myself :-)

Thank your for bringing it to our attention!  I've been on a lookout for an 
amarok replacement.

I just installed it so I'm not up to speed with it to answer your question, 
but I am having a similar problem.  When I click on Shoutcast it complains 
that there is a HTTP protocol missing:

"A HTTP protocol source plugin is required to play this stream, but not 
installed."

Which one is that?  The shoutcast plugin is in there and enabled.

I may have found what determines the plugins:

I think that you need to install the corresponding gst-plugins.  There seems 
to be one already installed on my system called gnomemmkeys (you can find this 
when you click Edit/Plugins/Install plugins and it takes you to 
/usr/share/exaile/plugins to choose from).

HTH.

Well, plugins are in portage but you have to find them "magically"...

i.e for mp3 support, is 
[I] media-plugins/gst-plugins-mad
and not 
[I] media-libs/gst-plugins-ugly

which you could find  recommended in forums by some people  ...)
*well, I have both installed, but mad one is the one, don't really know
what the other is for.

For XFCE shortcuts, I finally found
http://exaile.org/wiki/Keyboard_shortcuts

Some are working, but not the volume ones :-(
