Cool...
- DevER-M 2y ago
  can you give me some feedback if you'd like!
  - ipaddr 2y ago
    I have the same comment. It looks cool and a fun project and useful.

    I don't think you'll find out anything you not already know: + spotdl search is nice + tkinter surprisingly doesn't look as ugly as usual - no rewind or fastforward, nigher is it possible to click somewhere in the track progress bar to jump to. - "about" button does nothing - /tmp is littered with covers cause they are created each time you click on a track - if you first used <F8>/<F9> or the previous/next buttons and then you hit <space>, besides pause/play it causes a strange behavior: some random track in the playlist is get marked as an active one.

    Are you suggesting that saying that a project is cool violates the HN guidelines? If so, please explain.
    - selykg 2y ago
      The ... can be read as sounding very dismissive. But also, it really didn't add anything to the discussion even if that wasn't the intention. Hence the second point I added from the guidelines. So, I see two potential areas of improvement.

        Getting all guideliney on fluffy positive comments mostly defeats the purpose of getting all guideliney - the billowing clouds of meta that tends to generate are worse (guideline-worse, no less!) than the fluffy comment itself.
        selykg 2y ago
        Possibly, but "Cool..." is hardly adding any value, whatsoever. In this case the poster should've simply said nothing unless they had something of value to say. This is sort of the second point I was quoting. There are a number of points in the guidelines that try to get people to add value to the conversation. > the billowing clouds of meta that tends to generate are worse (guideline-worse, no less!) than the fluffy comment itself. Well, at the end of the day you contributed to that with your own comment.

        is hardly adding any value, whatsoever. Yes but they are explicitly accounted for in the site docs/design/intent, from waaaay back: Empty comments can be ok if they're positive. There's nothing wrong with submitting a comment saying just "Thanks." What we especially discourage are comments that are empty and negative—comments that are mere name-calling. https://news.ycombinator.com/newswelcome.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newswelcome.html And pop up in moderation comments https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=by%3Adang%20%22empty%20comments%22&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

  I assumed positive intent when you said "cool" but the academic dissection of your use of the ellipsis makes me feel like a simpleton. I'm tired of this combative shit HN.

This is my high school project btw, i would like some feedback as well as some feature requests it is also available on pypi https://pypi.org/project/yami-music-player/ https://pypi.org/project/yami-music-player/
- sigio 2y ago
  Having some issues with it, but might be my error ;) The pip-installed (in a venv) version will complain about missing data/theme.json, and then crash. So then I did the git-clone, pip-install variant, that starts. Interface is very minimal. After pointing it to my sshfs mount (~/mnt/Audio), it will list directories, but won't find a single file, strange. Copy the an directory of audiofiles to /tmp, browse there, it works. Very strange.
  - DevER-M 2y ago
    if possible can you create an issue about this in github with more details(screen shots)
    - cocodill 2y ago
      that's just it: create a venv, pip install it from pypi, try to run and get the missing data/theme.json error.

  It's always hip to have some random Japanese word as the name. Why not Korean or Chinese?
  - GreenWatermelon 2y ago
    Japanese Cultural Victory is what is. I don't know a lick of Chinese or especially Korean, but I know my fair share of japanese words thanks to exposure to Japanese media i.e. Anime. Anime is pretty popular in the west, especially amongst the demographic that's more likely to build software in their free time. TL: Yami means Dark/Darkness

Are you using the official API’s for Spotify, etc or something like a headless browser for streaming? Nice job, I can’t imagine making something with this level of finish when I was in high school.
- DevER-M 2y ago
  nope this only gets the metadata such as the cover art from spotify and the music is from youtube music thank you so much!
metmac 2y ago
Very nice. You could throw this on a Spotify Car thing. Would love to see this land on a Pi Zero 2 inside a husked out iPod classic and a skinable UI to boot. @gvy_dvpont (@dupontgu ?), did this a few years ago back with a Pi Zero one, but I believe the project has suffered a bit from hardware compatibility decay.

  Both VinylPlayer, Foss on fdroid, and Symfonium, commercial/ paid with free trial, have worked for me. VinylPlayer even has the ability to edit Metadata of titles with multiple artists.
  - jerrac 2y ago
    VinylPlayer is a fork of Phonograph. :) Symfonium looks interesting. I think it actually does support the multiple artists and genres like I want. Thanks for the tip on that one!

Naive question, shouldn't it be `pipx install yami-music-player` since it's an application and not a library?
- rovr138 2y ago
  Can you use pipx? Yes. If you have pipx, should you use it? Yes. If you don’t, do you need it? No. Pipx is a tool that, while nice, it’s not required. Most people will have pip if they have Python but not pipx.
indigodaddy 2y ago
Wow I just checked out what spotdl does, had never heard of it before. Pretty darn cool! Is there a similar tool that can do the same but instead of for Spotify, for actual YT playlists or actual albums from YT music?

  Checkout yt-dlp(1) It's a continuation of yt-dl (1) https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp
