Lollypop

Codec support

You can use proprietary codecs like .wma and .ra by using an optional extension provided by FFmpeg.

To install the extension, run the following command:

flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Platform.ffmpeg-full//22.08

Platform support

With the release of Lollypop 1.4.8, the sandboxing of Lollypop has been improved. Sadly, this requires Flatpak 1.8.x or higher, which is not available on all platforms by default.

Ubuntu derivatives

For Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04, you must add the official PPA so that flatpak can be properly updated:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alexlarsson/flatpak
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install flatpak

Other options

You can also remove the additional sandboxing by reverting the sandboxing altogether:

flatpak override --user org.gnome.Lollypop --filesystem=host

org.gnome.lollypop's Issues

Adding List songs by folder

Hello,
I'm a Pinephone Mobian user. Lollypop is great software, I use it everyday. There is a common and useful option missing in the main menu where the user chooses from Suggestions, Compilations, Genres, Artists... There could be an option for playing files from a folder. Is this possible?

Thank you

Cannot launch Easytag

In the menu "Modify Information" doesnt launch EasyTag

Lollpop FUBAR. Almost never plays music, scans for music files on every launch, loses the music collection occasionally, errors about being unable to access files, etc.

As the title says. Lately Lollpop has not been functioning properly at all. It almost never plays music, scans for music files on every launch, loses the music collection occasionally, errors about being unable to access files, etc.

I am not sure whether this is an issue with Lollypop itself, or the Flatpak package. I posted a comment on the Lollypop issue tracker and was told to report the issue against Flathub instead. As far as I can tell they don't seem to support the modern Flatpak package for some reason.

So I'm posting the issue here. Unfortunately I'm not able to provide much information beyond the description above. I can say that at times, I get error messages in the form of GNOME notifications, saying things such as:

../plugins/elements/gstfilesrc.c(532): gst_file_src_start (): /GstPlayBin:player/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0/-GstFileSrc:source:
No such file "/run/user/1000/doc/e4c299e6/Music/SomeFilenameHere.mp3"

Sometimes when I open the preferences window, I see that the music collection is set to "None" instead of my preferred location. When I point it back to my preferred location, Lollypop spends a long time scanning the entire directory, but eventually it completes and I can play music again... until I close Lollypop. On the next launch, it's all broken again.

My music is not stored in the home directory, and is instead under something along the lines of /var/mnt/X/Y/Z.

Please let me know how I can provide any more information to troubleshoot this.

libgi too old on Debian stretch

The current flatpak version of Lollypop 0.9.604 does not transmit listening data to listenbrainz or others.

I did this in the Python3 interpreter, since Lollypop does the same:

import gi
gi.require_version('Secret', '1')

It does not work for me on Debian stretch with Lollypop installed from the ppa. Flatpak uses its own Python interpreter and libs but I guess it is the same issue.

See https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/lollypop/issues/1516 for reference.

1.1.3 is out

Using Debian 10 with backports keep not reading the external disk

How can I install Lollypop if I dont wanna use flatpak?

Update to 0.9.607

The current version in flathub has a bug that affects the Play Albums button when used in the genres view.

I recently upgraded my Lollypop from Ubuntu PPA to Flatpak and everything is going great (regular updating and user experience) except the Use dark theme variant from Preferences menu. This feature was doing well when I used the PPA version.

This is all I installed according to this issue but still the dark theme is not working.

Phone integration not supported

When using Lollypop 1.4.1, I see that there are some features who don't seem to work. These include:

• Synchronizing albums or playlists to devices
• Converting to mp3 or AAC before synchronizing (They're unselectable)
• Converting to ogg or Flac before synchronizing (/tmp/ file access error)

Lollypop settings reset

With the migration of 3.34, DConf access has been changed. As such, it caused all Lollypop settings to reset.

This is something to reconsider. While it is easy to re-configure a music player, this change can be quite annoying for more complex applications. It also introduces a new issue: Using DConf 3.32, I can now no longer analyze the values in the register.

Lollypop flatpak not recognising theme adapta

I am on KDE Neon 5.12.5 and have kvantum theme installed in addition to adapta gtk theme and adapta flatpak theme.

But lollypop is not recognising the theme. What do I need to do?

Can't connect to Libre.fm and Last.fm

Hi,
I tested with Lollypop non-Flatpak (Ubuntu 20.04) and I successfully connected to Libre.fm and Last.fm. (Works and appears something like a ✓ at the side of the button Connect)
But when I tried with Flatpak of Lollypop ... it fails at connect (and doesn't appear the feedback of a ✓ at the side of the button Connect).

Update to v1.1.99.5

Lollypop Open-With feature broken: Gio.AppInfo.get_all_for_type() always return []

Lollypop needs this to get applications handling music files.

It then launch the app with flatpak-spawn.

global gnome search doesn't work for lollypop in flatpak version

hello! Cedric told me to ask here instead of the main lollypop gitlab.
So, this is not a technical limitation because many flatpak applications can have global gnome search (example: web technical preview, files development flatpak) but lollypop doesn't show with search in gnome settings or overview in the flatpak, but it works in the normal packaged lollypop. why?

1.4.0 fails to open: Namespace Handy not available

The Lollypop flatpak fails to open after #103

Output of: flatpak run org.gnome.Lollypop

Traceback (most recent call last):

This was also reported upstream.

I believe the issue is that this upstream version depends on libhandy1 which I think is part of Gnome 3.38 but the flatpak uses the 3.36 runtime.

[Flatpak] Lollypop not showing certain Japanese characters

Hi all, been using the flatpak version of lollypop for a bit now and like it a lot! I'm having an issue where Japanese fonts appear as boxes, not all of them - artists appear correctly (one didn't, but that one had malformed tags), only things that don't appear correctly are song and album titles. I'm at a loss as to why this happens.

For instance, this file:

Filename: /home/ryan/Storage/Music/Runa Miyoshida/美吉田 月 - Ska Flavor #2 【320K】 (2009.9.16)/03 やさしさに包まれたなら.mp3
Format: MPEG-1 Layer 3 - ID3v2.3
Size: 10.2 MB (9.7 MiB)
Length: 4:14
Bitrate: 320.0 kbps
Sample rate: 44100 Hz
Channels: Stereo

The artist appears correctly, but the song titles are all boxes.

Is there a font I need to install or something? I have fonts-takao-mincho installed (was installed by default on my distribution) and japanese fonts work flawlessly in other applications such as the terminal based mpd client ncmpcpp. I have allowed lollypop full access to the host filesystem. I've attached a screenshot of the two programs both displaying the same album, as you can see the English characters appear correctly but in lollypop it's just boxes for the Japanese characters.

Library missing after restarting machine; Flatpak looped directory missing

I have a music directory that is not in ~/Music, but rather ~/Storage/Music, which is another drive (~/Storage/) mounted in the home directory.

I had the issue of Lollypop always saying "Scan disabled - missing collection" after ever reboot (and perhaps every relaunch of the application) of the system. I used Flatseal (great app for flatpak permissions) to allow it access to the home (~) directory, which solved the issue. You could also do the same with the command line with flatpak override.

Just wondering if maybe that could be added to the README for instance, just in case others run into the same issue maybe they will find this post. I know there is already a mention of allowing access to the host's full filesystem but perhaps this would be helpful. Thanks for packaging this excellent program, thank you!

Hello!

Lollypop has been updated to version 0.9.905

Could you update the flatpack version also? Thank you :-)

The mentioned behavior of calling kid3-cli from host via flatpak-spawn.
I can access the kid3-cli from host manually:

Lollypop does not see anything else other than "music" in the home directory

(originally reported on the Lollypop repo but Cédric said it is a Flatpak issue)

Environment

• Lollypop version: 1.4.8
• GTK+ version: 2.24.32 and 3.22.30
• Operating system: Ubuntu 18.04

Bug

Since the last update (1.4.8), and after a prompt about re-adding the library folders, Lollypop does not see my music library in ~/Musique, and doesn't see anything else than the ~/Music folder in my home, so I can't pick the right directory again.
