fooyin (a foobar2000 clone)

ludouzi

User_007 Thanks for testing! Cue support is underway and will be in the next release.

Layout editing works by editing the widget under the cursor and its parent splitter. If you remove a splitter, it will remove all of the widgets inside. I'll be putting out some documentation on this to make it clearer.

Window size should be remembered when storing from tray, so I'll look into that.

BruceElephant

@ludouzi Thank you for making such a great media player and for offering information here. <3

BruceElephant Just saw your package request. good luck. love the grassroots effort here, would love to have in repo as well.

BruceElephant

brent Apologies for the late answer, I was away.

Thank you! But I only acted as per Solus team's guidelines. You see, when you post a package request they ask what kind of users (and how many) will use this package. I felt that starting this thread was the best way to find this information. : )

UncleSpellbinder

I've been using fooyin on my EndeavourOS install for about a month. I love it.

BruceElephant I would like to know if you would use fooyin (a foobar2000 clone) if it would be available in the Solus repositories.

YES, I would definitely use fooyin on my Solus laptop if it were available in the Solus repos!

BruceElephant

Weee!! \o/

I'm happy to share that the package request has been approved. Hopefully someone will volunteer to maintain it.

BruceElephant Time to learn packaging! 😏

Hope you all enjoy! I will maintain this is solus.

BruceElephant

Hmm .. I can't find it in the repositories yet.

Lucien_Lachance

BruceElephant its in unstable

BruceElephant

Lucien_Lachance Ah! That explains it. Thank you for the information! : )

BruceElephant

And thank you @androidnisse! I'm so excited, I can't wait to try this! <3

Usually is a sync Friday/Saturday depending on where you are. So just a little bit more. 😃

Solarmass

I will check it out too, thanks!

Ok, I installed this player and played with it for about 15 min.

This is my kind of player i.e. I don't need to add my whole music folder for it to create a library database. I can create playlists and drag any folders to it to play, nice 👍️

I recreated my favorite layout (there is edit mode) where I have 3 panes: playlists list - playlist - big album cover art.
It was pretty easy.

I couldn't find settings how to change the font size
volume button is horrible
album cover art can't go bigger
I wish UI was more modern and minimal

Maybe I would make it my main music player if not Tauon, which looks more minimal but have a number of little things I can't live without today, for example - auto name playlist when adding files or middle click to add song to the queue..

I will keep it installed.

Fooyin is an interesting player, but I may say that I prefer the one you mentioned in your post: Tauon. It is not present in Software Center, but it can be found in GNOME Software.

What I particularly appreciate in this player is the natural sequence of 2 tracks that follow each other (for example, if you listen to the 2nd and 3rd movements which are linked in Robert Schumann's concerto for violin and orchestra).

The most I can regret is that the font used for the application menu is really small (I haven't found how to change it, if that's possible).

Cheers! 😃

Version 0.5.0 is already released. Pushed to repo so it will go in on next sync. 👍️

User_007

Thanks for bringing us Fooyin.

For all who can't wait with v0.5.1 can download the package from the unstable repo and install it from disc without switching the whole system to the unsable repo.
But alsa-lib needs to update first to release 38.
alsa-lib-1.2.12-38-1-x86_64.eopkg
fooyin-0.5.1-3-1-x86_64.eopkg

Lucien_Lachance

looking forward to trying it. currently on gnome and waiting for plasma 6.1 for a clean install
thank you for adding/maintaining it @androidnisse

User_007

I've noticed Fooyin keeps all opened "old" files in the playlist. (like the enqueue feature in foobar, right click on a file -> "enqueue")
Is there an option to disable this? I mean clearing the playlist when opening a new file. Couldn't find it by myself.

ludouzi

User_007 There's not an option yet, but I can easily add one. I'll make the name of the playlist files get sent to configurable as well.

Edit: Just added it. I'll add another setting to control whether opening files starts playback later.

BruceElephant

Yay! I finally got to try it as well! I like it!

I like the muted look. The interface is simple yet functional.

I love the customization options!! The remove function is a bit strange though, it removes the whole element group instead of only the currently selected element. @ludouzi will you keep this behaviour? Just asking.

I miss some elements not having titles, I wish Library Tree would have a text saying "Library" at the top. For now it's alright though.

I'm actually missing a Search function in the library. That would be nice to have! Again, for now it's alright.

What User_007 said. I wish there could be a way to clear playlists when adding files. I wish there was a Add Files (but Clear Playlist first) option and an Enqueue (Add New Files to Current Playlist but keep the old files) option.

@ludouzi what do you think of my ideas? Are they good? Do they suck? Should I make Feature Requests on GitHub?

Thank you for making this great player! 🙏

@androidnisse Thank you mate! I'm so happy you're making this available for us! It's such a treat! : )
