Friday, November 25th 2005 19:26 GMT: Noatun 3.0 ("make-it-snow") development

Noatun 3.0's SVN branch named "make-it-snow" is currently undergoing development. We are working on improving the plugin system, and also making extreme changes to the playlist API. Plugin-developers are encouraged to provide feedback on the kde-multimedia mailing list.

Friday, Oct 22rd 2004 00:39 CEST: Noatun Library Documentation updated

Noatun API documentation just got a facelift. It now looks like normal KDE API references, which is much more appealing than the rather old-fashioned doxygen default. You can now browse both Noatun 2.6 (KDE 3.3) documentation as well as a bleeding edge (CVS) reference.

Additionally a tarball of CVS docs is now available: http://metz.gehn.net/files/noatun-apidocs.tar.bz2

Thursday, Sept 23rd 2004 18:32 CEST: Floodcast 0.0.12

Changes:

  • turn on/off floodcast from its control-panel
  • new option: automatically reconnect on shoutcast connection errors
  • Shoutcast compatible title-streaming in standalone-mode
  • status-window now also for forward-mode
  • on-demand retrieval of listener-stats in forward-mode
  • removed kdDebug statement that kept floodcast from compiling on KDE 3.2.x
Project Homepage: http://metz.gehn.net.

Tuesday, Sept 14th 2004 16:48 CEST: New Plugin: KiRateRadio

KiRateRadio is a plugin for Noatun allowing to connect to iRATE server. iRATE radio is a collaborative filtering system for music. You rate the tracks it downloads and the server uses your ratings and other people's to guess what you'll like. The tracks are downloaded from websites which allow free and legal downloads of their music.

Its website can be found at http://irate.sf.net/kirate

Tuesday, Sept 14th 2004 16:46 CEST: Floodcast 0.0.11

Changes this time:

  • support for CBR/ABR/VBR mp3 encoding
  • add Brazilian translation, thanks to Rogerio Pereira
  • add (incomplete) German translation
  • reintegrate status-window for standalone server, it was left out so far to ease restructuring
  • fix hostname lookups in status-window
  • update connection times in status-window every 10 seconds and not only once a minute
Project Homepage: http://metz.gehn.net.

Sunday, Aug 15th 2004 16:45 CEST: Floodcast 0.0.10

A new version of Floodcast is out.
Changes:

  • abort streaming after 3 failed send calls, this might help for buggy connections
  • use QTimer for syncing with shoutcast server instead of blocking noatun all the time
  • allow streaming with a fixed track-name instead of using tags from noatun
  • buffer encoded mp3 data before sending it in order to avoid dropouts
For information and the download itself see http://metz.gehn.net.

Saturday, May 15th 2004 21:51 CEST: Revived Plugin: Floodcast 0.0.9b

After a long time the ultimate Noatun plugin ever is back: FloodCast. It works with latest Noatun from KDE 3.2 and now also features forwarding your currently played music to whatever Icecast/Shoutcast server you want (libshout needed).

More information and the revived plugin is available at http://metz.gehn.net.

A project description with all supported and planned features will follow later, for now all you get is the sourcecode (but hey, isn't that a lot already?).

Monday, April 12th 2004 12:20 CEST: Updated Plugin: Relffuhs 1.1.0

This release adds a per-song bias, which determines how much weight is distributed to it. Bias changes automatically after each song is played, and when a song is selected or skipped.

More information and the playlist itself can be found at http://relffuhs.sourceforge.net.

Monday, Feb 09 2004 @ 15:10 CEST: New Plugin: Now Playing

A new plugin was added to the plugin list

The Noatun Now Playing plugin displays album information about the currently playing song. Current album information includes:
  • Album, artist, track title, year and genre (fetched from id3 tag)
  • Similar albums
  • General album details, including
    • UPC Code
    • Release Date
    • Record Label
    • Number of discs in album
  • Discography of the artist
It's located at http://nnplaying.sourceforge.net/.

Saturday, May 24 2003 @ 15:13 CEST: New Site Design

Finally, this is the new noatun.kde.org site, I hope you like it. We now look like any other kde.org site, hopefully making the whole thing easier to use and look more up-to-date.

Other interesting changes include:
  • Removed old KDE 2.x specific parts and other clean ups
  • Added API Reference for Noatun shipping with KDE 3.1.x and Noatun from CVS
  • More complete list of plugins available for Noatun, submissions of missing plugins are appreciated

Sunday, September 15 @ 20:01 PDT: No, We're Not Still Alive!

The primary reason nothing is happening here at noatun.kde.org is that we noatun developers consider noatun so close to completion it's not worth discussing.

You might also notice that noatun API documentation is really super. [Ahem] I hope this serves as enough of a hint for you to get coding your own plugins!

Friday, May 24 @ 21:45 PDT: Yes, We're Still Alive!

I know I havn't published any new articles lately. Nor added the new poll. However, rest assured that we are still developing Noatun.

Monday, February 18 @ 01:50 PST: New Software: Flood 0.0.0

Winamp Skin-Loader developer Ryan Cumming recently announced the release of an early version of his plugin, Flood, a web based interface to Noatun. This plugin requires a recent CVS snapshot of Noatun. KDE Beta2 will not work.

Quoting directly from his announcement:

Flood is a simple web interface plugin for Noatun.
It uses a simplified version of the KDE Public File Server listening on port 4000. Instead of serving static pages, however, Flood dynamically generates its user interface based on Noatun's current state.

Flood currently supports the following functions:
  • Viewing the current song's title and length
  • Basic control operations (back, stop, play, pause, next)
  • Setting the loop mode
  • Viewing the playlist and changing the current song using the playlist
  • Removing songs from the playlist
  • Downloading songs from the playlist
  • Generating an RDF song history suitable for viewing in KNewsTicker

Wednesday, February 13 @ 11:52 PST: KDE 3.0 beta2 -- RELEASED!

Unless you've been living under a rock, or have been coding all day, you know that KDE 3.0beta2 is out. Check out the changelog, and the tarballs at the KDE web site.

Wednesday, December 19 @ 00:52 PST: Film Off! (whatever that means...)

The German Linux Magazine LinuxUser says good things about Noatun in this nice (german) article.

Perhaps referring to the Babel Fish berzetzer for an amusing translation is in order? (It's actually surprisingly good this time... :)

Then they continue to say good things about AviFile's DivX abilities. An aRts plugin for DiVX ;-) exists here that enables noatun to play DiVX as well!

My favorite phrase is "Hinter dem Eintrag Young Hickory verbergen sich Konfigurationsmöglichkeiten". It contains not only an unexpected insertion of "Young Hickory", but also includes one of those famed german mega-words.

Monday, November 26 @ 15:48 PST: New Software: Linux Kernel-Level aRts Driver

I've recently completed a kernel module that simulates and OSS driver, but forwards the audio to aRts.

Wednesday, October 24 @ 15:30 PDT: State of the Noatun

This is a post I just made to kde-multimedia and kde-devel. It generally happens before each major release of KDE. This one is leading up to KDE 3.0.

Thursday, October 11 @ 00:21 PDT: New Software: ModPlug 1.1 Released

With so many new features, it boggles the mind.

Sunday, October 07 @ 14:42 PDT: K-Jöfol & Kaiman Skins for Noatun!

The new kde-look.org appears to have K-Jöfol and Kaiman skins.
