The fix is simply to show the dialog when user click very soon on the configure button. Are you sure it doesn't show? it may pop under amarok, especially on a gnome environment.

Sorry about this post. My system was crashing because i ran out of space on /, because my backup drive did not mount .
It was NOT because of week alarm i guess when it tried to write data it must have run out of space completely.

I sincerely apologize.

Hi, i would need some info:
* The content of ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/script-data/weekalarm.log
* The version of PyQt you use
* Version of python


You can send all this by mail if you want.

Thank you.

I can reproduse the problem of not having of not having start and cancel button as well. And I can reproduse it on 2 systems.
Not only this, changing from 1.20 to 1.31 brings yet another problem. When I press configure the window is not shown unless I have started amarok from a console.
I know that changing from python 2.4 to 2.5 has opened quite a lot of problems, but can you please support an older version (or actualy all older versions), so that I can try them and find out which one works for me.
Thanks in advance

And i didn't understand what you said about python: As the README says, weekalarm support python 2.4, which is the oldest maintened version of python. I don't think many person still use python2.3.

I think i have fixed your second problem.

For the save and cancel buttons, it may be caused by an outdated version of python-qt, but i don't really know. Was it working with a precedent version? On what distrib are you?

I love this script. Will it be available for Amarok 2 any time soon? Just wondering...

The support of amarok 2 will need a complete rewrite, and the api is not finished yet, so be patient...

I modified my copy of weekalarm so that the alarm is disabled when Amarok is already playing. The reason for this is that on occasion I have woken up early and started listening to something, and then the alarm goes off and interrupts what I am listening to.

I can't imagine a time when you would want the alarm to go off when something else is already playing so I didn't bother adding an option for it in the preferences.

When I'm going to bed I like to listen to an irternet radio so I set Amarok to repeat one stream all the time because sometimes i loose connection with this station. Your Wakeup alarm is set to "Save current playlist for alarm playlist" and "Random mode" so when it starts it sould change play mode from "repeat one track" to "random tracks" but it doesn't. Every time I wake up there is one randomly choosed track going round and round :/

Another ?bug/suggestion?. When you clik "Configure" in "Script Manager" "WeekAlarm Configuration" window opens under an Amarok window while it should appear above all of windows.

I miss goodnight funkcions. Like "fade out after X minutes and stop plaing" and so.. Hope those will come in future ;)

But overall - great job ;)

// I use Amarok 3.5.9 at KDE 4.0.3 from Kubuntu 8.04 KDE 4 Remix

Is it possible to configure WeekAlarm to use a Smart Playlist or a Dynamic Playlist? In "Wakeup Options" I only see the option to set to the current playlist or a static playlist from a file.

I have some specific Smart/Dynamic Playlists that I'd like to wake up to, but I can't see any way to do that with the current script.

Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible with the current dcop interface. Maybe this will be possible in Amarok 2 (but I doubt).

Report

I can get Smart and Dynamic Playlists to load via DCOP:

dcop amarok playlistbrowser loadPlaylist playlistName

The one thing that I can't seem to do is get Amarok to return an actual list of the available playlists. I pored over the list of functions available, and nothing seems to fit. These playlists don't seem to be stored in the database either, so querying is pointless as well.

Could you perhaps add a text field for a playlist name? This would require the user to know the actual name of his desired playlist, so it's not as ideal as selecting from some sort of list would be. Still, it's better than nothing.

Thanks. I installed nearly every python qt package I could find, but I guess I missed that one.

Every time I try and run the script, I get this error:

Any ideas?

You need the PyQT bindings. In Ubuntu, they are available in the python-qt3 package. You can also dowload it directly from http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/software/pyqt/intro

Hi,

I am running Python 2.5, Amarok 1.4.8 and PyQt 3.17.4 and PyQt4 4.3.3. When I try to configure the weekalarm from Amarok, nothing comes up. When I run weekalarm from the command line, I get this output:

It seems that you don't have dcop installed (or it is not in your PATH). what does "which dcop" return?

Report

Figured it out....In Gentoo with KDE 4: for some reason the /usr/kde/3.5/bin path has been excluded from my PATH variable...which makes dcop unreachable. I haven't been able to figure out how to fix this, since /usr/kde/3.5/bin is in my PATH when I login from the basic console, but in Konsole, it is all messed up.

Hi maxischmeii

Tried this new version, but after starting it stops with:
File "/home/user/.kde/share/apps/amarok/scripts/weekalarm/weekalarm.py", line 187
class DcopAmaroK():

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Thank you. This script need python 2.5 at least. Your python interpreter is probably older.
