edna search patch

2008-01-11T15:40:14Z

I have been using edna for quite some time, but could never implement the search patch. Is anyone running 0.6 with the search patch. If anyone could tell me how to implement this it would be greatly appreciated. I am currently running enda on a windows 2003 server platform.

Re: hmmm new edna error, can anyone help??

So I do not know if this is everyone's problem but I was able to solve this myself.

The exception message occured on my end whenever I had a folder that ended in a .foo where foo was a music file extension. For example "Some Artist - Some Album.mp3".

After I removed all the .mp3 text from my folder names I never saw the exception message again. Now what is strange about this error is sometimes the page listing the folders came up, but usually it did not. So it was a little quirky.

My guess is that someone (Python or Edna) is reading the .mp3 as a file when it is a directory hence the exception gets thrown as it is not a readable file but in fact a directory.

Here is my exact message in case anyone cares.

edna search results (using xspf)

2007-06-21T17:06:36Z

I was thinking, the search works great.. but there's something missing.

The option to click on the folder for each found mp3 so that you can
see what else is in that folder...

has anyone done anything to allow this? So far each mp3 result is one
full continuous line, showing what dir it's in (which is great), but
it'd be nice to click on either the mp3 to start playing, or the
folder it's in to see what else is in there.

Thanks!

Re: Fwd: Problem with Edna on Windows: can play locally, but doesn't work on remote computer

2007-06-11T13:12:28Z

Have you checked firewall settings? software? hardware/router?

I haven't heard of this problem before. But since it works fine on
the local machine, it's not really an edna issue.

Are there any errors that come up on the edna "log" screen when it
stutters/buffers that you can copy paste into a reply?

That'd be a definate help for us to assist..

Re: hmmm new edna error, can anyone help??

2007-06-11T13:08:44Z

Thanks for replying Yoni!

Hmm, well I found out why my listings were pausing, it's because I had
the disk intensive "retrieve tag info" bit set. I've since turned it
off, because directories with more than 100
songs (ie: compilations) were taking too long to display (including searching).

It's too bad, that the tag information isn't stored/cached.. but I
guess that could take a loooong time to perform on a large collection.
I liked having song length, and size in my listing, but alas, not a
deal breaker now that edna is FASST without it turned on.

As for the errors, I still get them randomly, since you've pointed out
that it's network I'll do some digging. I mostly use edna internally
(intranet) as the searching is super fast, and it works great (plus
when other people are using it, they can't accidentally delete a
song..etc).

I'll play with some network stuff, it could be the windows xp
firewall.. I'll start there..

http://trout.snt.utwente.nl/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=38665&site_id=1#import

I'm not going to look too deeply into edna's base http serving, but my thoughts: it probably has to do with either the network connection at your edna server or the connection at your client. Edna's less-than-robust basic-http-server implementation may play a part, but if your connection is anything like this:

windows XP machine running Edna on a random port --> XP firewall or Norton IS --> router --> cable modem --> Comcast --> internet cafe's T1 --> internet cafe's hardware firewall --> wireless AP --> ZoneAlarm --> Internet Explorer...

well, suffice it to say a lot of things could be causing a software abort like that. That thread i linked to has more information as it relates to IRC, but some of the suggestions apply and might fix your problem. Do you ever get that problem when the two PCs are on the same local network with software firewalling off? On a different port with a different web browser / mp3 player? Not sure if your problem is with Edna pages, mp3s served into a winamp m3u, or the XSPF inline player, but your browser, music player, and whatnot might factor into those cases as well.

Someone with more socket lib experience might have other ideas, but a firewall/internet connection issue seems possible.

Fwd: Problem with Edna on Windows: can play locally, but doesn't work on remote computer

2007-06-06T11:45:48Z

Hi.

I just discovered Edna and think this is exactly what I need. Problem is I can't quite get it work:

* It works perfectly when play music on the same computer where is Edna running.
* When I'm trying to connect from a remote computer, it plays only the first song. Afterwards it skips many songs with [BUFFERING] message (which is left visible in the playlist). It recovers only on the second album.

Any idea what can be causing this?

Thanks,
Stas.

Problem with Edna on Windows: can play locally, but doesn't work on remote computer

Flash player - revisited

2007-05-03T18:23:22Z

Hi everybody,

I thought I'd point out that if you are interested in running an embedded
flash player on your edna pages, this script works amazingly well:

http://del.icio.us/help/playtagger

I briefly had the xspf web music player
(http://musicplayer.sourceforge.net/) installed but found that my browser
would freeze while loading a lengthy list of files. Playtagger doesn't have
the same effect and loads exceptionally quickly.

Only drawbacks I've noticed: mp3 only and it doesn't handle special
characters at all (ö,ó,etc) rendering a file that contains these characters
unplayable. Not too big of a deal.

The buttons can be customized a bit as the play and stop buttons are just
small gifs.

I don't use delicious so I don't know how useful it is in regards to
bookmarking.

Good luck!

Re: porting edna to gentoo

2007-04-26T23:07:01Z

They don't seem to be up to edna version 0.6 yet, but there already are
a few working version 0.5 ebuilds in portage which may help give direction.
Those ebuilds decide to put ezt.py and the templates directory in
/usr/lib/edna/ by default.

porting edna to gentoo

2007-04-26T22:49:19Z

Sorry if this goes in twice I sent it from an email address that wasn't
on the list the first time.

I am working on making an ebuild for the edna 0.6 for gentoo. First I
have to get it to work and write an init script for it. Currently I am
getting this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/edna", line 47, in ?
import ezt
ImportError: No module named ezt

does this mean my path to the templates is wrong?

I spent a day looking around on google and thinking about it and I
haven't found much.

any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bare-Bones Search

2007-04-26T22:40:26Z

I just submitted a patch for a bare-bones search. This patch allows for
searching within your current edna directory and sub-directories. Playlists
requested from search results pages contain only the media displayed on the
search results page.
As the search takes at least as long as a recursive playlist request,
searching is disabled by default in edna.conf.

I purposely left the search function ( EndaRequestHandler.do_search() ) as
a one-line case-insensitive check for the search string within the sub-path for
each media file.
I intend to extend this myself (for example with boolean logic), but I felt
that there is likely a number of people who would be interested in a bare
search patch to extend with their own search functions.
Searching ID3 tags in particular I believe will be too slow if they must be
re-read for every search but one of the strengths of edna is that it reads the
current filesystem contents.

I also made a trivial patch to add a chosen favicon.ico and will submit
that shortly.

Sort by "New Since"..

2007-04-18T14:34:54Z

Has anyone played with the idea of sorting the newest folders to the
top (ascending) by New Since, then name?

If so, I'm interested in doing that... I'm just not so good with the
python part...

Thanks!

I think yes, WSGI is a smart direction. This way it can be used with
a variety of different server implementations.

Re: further to funny characters in tags "ÿþ"

Could be edna, mp3info, or both. See what mp3info.py gives you on its
own by loading it up in a Python console at the command line (assuming
you have a unicode-ready console, not sure how Windows deals with that
stuff); if it looks right then Edna's the one mangling it. If not, you
could try to integrate any one of a half dozen other python id3
readers out there, assuming some of them support unicode:
http://sourceforge.net/search/?type_of_search=soft&words=python+id3 ,
though that's considerably more work than it's probably worth.

I've been toying with integrating
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mmpython/ into the new pylons/WSGI
edna port i've been writing, to provide all kinds of metadata about
all kinds of files (not just mp3s); do you have an example mp3 you
could send me so I can be sure I get that stuff right in my code?
(that's coming along, btw; I already have the xspf mp3 flash player
integrated along with basic library browsing; once i have
authentication, metadata plus a few other new features i have planned,
i'll throw up a demo for people to check out).

Yes, i think edna falls a bit short of doing everything needed
for this. It shouldn't be very hard to fix.

as you noted later in your mail, edna suffers from doing all
the HTTP implementation itself.

It looks like the current version of edna, or mp3info.py (i'd assume)
doesn't like unicode data in mp3 ID3v2 tags.

Anyone out there willing, or know how to fix this?

Thanks!

My Template and some minor bugs

2007-04-05T11:06:37Z

Well thanks to everyone's help, Yoni especially, I think I've finished
my 1.0 version of edna.

I now understand what he meant by being a bunch of if statements!
lol, well I was at least able to use it to make mine work. I'll try
and set up an example server so you guys can check it out. And if you
like what I've done, (or in the meantime) just shoot me an email, and
I can zip up my dir and you're more than welcome to test it for
yourself! I think you'd be pleased!

I do have some glitches that I don't understand. I don't think it's
an edna issue. I gave a copy to my buddy (my beta tester) and he has
some mp3 folders where the tags (i'm using the complex template) are
weird -- have weird characters. He's sent me an example file, and it
occurs for me as well. I think it could be something to do with his
mp3 files, but still odd, since it plays fine, and WINAMP tells the
TAG info properly (and other software does too).

Some features I'd like to see, but would be tricky:
Easier feature:
1) an option, when displaying folders, to have the "new since" folders
sorted at the top by date, then all others follow.. any easy way to
do this?..guess time will tell (all help appreciated :)

Harder:
2) I'd really like to figure out the best way to have an enqueue
option.. but from my experience and from my searches, it doesn't look
like it will happen with out a windows hack. for now, I just turned
on /ADD in winamp for .m3u files. Too bad there wasn't a way to send
this param to a media player.. so this feature will probably never
happen.

Re: reading txt files..

2007-04-02T17:04:06Z

What's even more odd is that now the error doesn't come up.. lol

although, now, I do have a weird ? (question mark) on my page that's
displayed.. I can't figure out where it's coming from.. ..although I
haven't tried that much yet.. that'll come next/now :)

Thanks a bunch Yoni, I'm obviously rusty, and wasn't understanding the
code very much, and to be honest, didn't have enough time to really
sit there and figure it out. I just want it to be functional.....then
i'll make it purdy and be done with it (until the next thing i want to
add to it)..

It's definately starting to take shape!

Re: reading txt files..

2007-04-02T15:53:16Z

judging from the fact that it's ezt raising the exception, it looks
like something's wrong in your template or the values going into it.
Throw some print statements in before you get to the template to be
sure you're passing the right values over to it, and check your syntax
in the templates (EZT doesn't really throw useful errors -- the port
i'm working on for Pylons/WSGI is using Mako for the templates
instead).

Re: reading txt files..

2007-04-02T14:55:19Z

Ok I figured it out fullpath wasn't declared until after that line. I
just added a new declaration before "fullpathtemp" and this works:

fullpathtemp = os.path.join(curdir, name)
if plainfiles_extensions.has_key(ext):
plainfiles.append(_datablob(href=href, is_new=is_new,
text=base, contents=open(fullpathtemp).read()))
continue

I do now have a weird error coming up on the "server" screen...

Re: reading txt files..

Thanks for replying Yoni.. I tried it.. but got this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python24\lib\SocketServer.py", line 463, in process_request_thread
self.finish_request(request, client_address)

plainfiles.append(_datablob(href=href, is_new=is_new, text=base, contents=op
en(fullpath+name).read()))
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'fullpath' referenced before assignment
