Amarok Full Screen
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
UPDATE: as more people get involved into this project, it needs some organisation and version management. A sourceforge project should be opened soon.
This is a full screen front end for Amarok. The look can be changed by custom THEMES.
INSTALL:
to build from source, you need Qt3 development files (IT WILL NOT WORK WITH QT4!!), kde development files (dcopclient.h) and the g++ compiler. Just run "make" to compile the program. If it doesn't work, try running "qmake" (or "qmake-qt3") first and then "make".
For installation run "make install" (requires root priviliges)
To run the program just run "amarokFS". An entry in the start-menu should also be created (may depend on distro, tested on ubuntu).
You can find openSuse 10.2 rpm-packages on http://ftp.huessenbergnetz.de/pub/paketdepots/suse/openSUSE_10.2/

As the author said, it only works with qt3. Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04) no longer has amarok1.x, only amarok2 (which uses qt4). So unless the author does some serious changes, his app is going to become obsolete very quickly.

Could it be implemented so that we havent to check it?
Just amarokFS could do the job : music and email/msg view (mb skype?)
Thx
Best regards

i've compiled amarokFS (0.5), and it's running, but i can only use the CoverFlow theme
if i run any other theme (isimplydark, ipodblack,..) it allways crashes a few seconds after launching
here you can see a stack trace of the error:

so, what's up? do i need an older FS version for using those themes?

This computer is going to be hooked up to my 32" flat panel LCD and it'd be cool to have this up and running for when I have parties. Also someone have any suggestions for computer multimedia remotes that work with linux, preferrably bluetooth. Wireless infared works too. BTW great work on this plugin!

Have you considered putting a volume control and equalizer on it?
Another idea I have was putting a pop up list of all the songs available for play so the user can queue them, maybe even add new files from a dir.
Thanks for the app!

Oh and BTW: it would be great if I could choose in the settings which kind of reflection I want to use (I don't like the round one but prefer the old rectangular version).

You can see a screenshot of the problem I have at http://ojsoft.swifthost.net/images/amarokfs.jpg
Got any ideas how to fix that reflections problem? It's not taking the right section of the image to reflect.

1.) go to the Compiz settings
2.) go to "Window Rules"
3.) add "title=amarokFS" to the Fullscreen attribute

I'm the developer of Kirocker Music Display.
We're doing pretty similar applications. I would want to thank you for some of your astucious code to query Amarok, like retreiving the full-size cover art or next songs.
The current Amarok DCop interface is not very easy to use for our applications, and could be way enhanced. Like adding signals on song change, information (title, cover, rating) changed by user...
I started a thread on the Amarok Development Mailing List about changes needed for the new D-Bus interface of Amarok 2.
I invit you to comment on it, if you need more features, or if you would like to add things:

Thank you :-/
I was just trying to help out.
Amarok 2 is shaping up right now, so it's the time or never to help make it more suited for both our programs.
If we do nothing, Amarok 2.0 will ship with a not-suited interface, only slowing down us both.
We have similar goals. I may have forgotten something I need, that Jan will think about and request to Amarok developers. And vice versa.
If you were hungry because we have applications with duplicate goals... Well, it's free software: we do that to have fun. You can't require us to code on project X or Y. And we started with different approaches. Jan with a full-featured and customizable full screen display, me with a Kicker applet adapting the code to also do full screen display. And as a user, this friendly-competition (as I like to call it) make you have more choice. Why complain!
