=== salem_ is now known as _salem
popeynik90: Elleo first thing I saw on G+ today was the new stuff you're doing for podbird. I am _so_ excited! :)10:48
nik90popey: :)10:52
nik90popey: somehow I feel that the play button shown in the episodes page is a hit and miss...I keep pressing it only to expand the listitem rather than play it.10:57
popeya bit, yes10:57
popeynik90: the key thing I would like is "update all" to go and just get the latest version of everything "cleanup" to get rid of episodes I haven't listened to which are >n days old and "play all".11:01
nik90popey: "cleanup" as in not appear in the episodes list? Since episodes are not downloaded by default11:02
popeyon, but if "update all" is implemented they will be :)11:05
popeybasically I dont want to have to go to each of the 20 podcasts I subscribe to and manually press the download button11:06
popeyI just want new episodes to magically appear (when I press "download all"11:06
popeythe update/download all should probably cleanup first11:06
popeyto make space for new episodes11:06
popeyalso, sd card support would be nice :D11:06
nik90ok :D11:07
=== _salem is now known as salem_
Elleonik90: yeah, I think we should have a larger touch area around the play icon, even if we keep the icon that size12:53
Elleonik90: the now playing stuff looks awesome though :)12:53
nik90Elleo: thnx. Yeah I will increase the mouse area size to make that easier.12:54
Elleonik90: cool, thanks12:54
nik90Elleo: hey quick question, in the episodes database I notice there is a variable published of datatype TIMESTAMP, I was hoping to show that in the episode list since users can know when a particular episode was released.. But when I do that, qtc complains that it is undefined12:57
nik90Elleo: I tried accessing it in the listview delegate using "model.published"12:57
Elleonik90: its possible that it's just not being added in the query at the moment because I wasn't using it for anything12:59
Elleonik90: just let me fire up qtc and I'll take a look12:59
nik90Elleo: ah ok..thnx12:59
Elleonik90: yeah, http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~michael-sheldon/podbird/trunk/view/head:/app/ui/EpisodesPage.qml#L463 <-- just needs adding there13:01
nik90Elleo: ah cool.13:01
Elleopopey: do you know if we can actually write to the sd card in confined apps yet? most conversations I heard about the sd card seemed to focus around sending stuff via content-hub; but it'd be more appropriate for apps to be allowed access to /media/sdcard/<app_id> or similar13:02
Elleowould be useful for cutespotify too13:03
popeyhmm, I don't.13:03
popeyyeah, i filled my phone up demonstrating cutespotify in the pub the other day13:03
popey"look, it can sync offline"13:03
popey"Oops"13:03
Elleoheh13:03
nik90lol13:03
ElleoI'll pester jdstrand on monday see if he knows what the plan is for those app armor rules13:04
Elleonik90: I think those are the wrong icons for forward/backward 15 seconds, the ones with the little stops on the end are for jumping between whole tracks/podcasts, it should be the little double << >> icons for moving within something I think13:05
nik90Elleo: ah yes..I will fix that13:06
Elleonik90: although once we have some decent queue system sorted out it'd be good to have whole podcast jumps too :)13:06
Elleonik90: great, thanks :)13:06
nik90Elleo: yeah IMO the next feature to prioritize should be either the play queue or the automatic deletion of episodes beyond a certain date13:07
Elleonik90: yeah, and/or sdcard support if we find it's possible, which'll make it less necessary to constantly micro-manage the amount of fre space13:08
Elleofree*13:08
nik90+113:09
popeynote though that krillin is the _only_ device with sd card13:14
popeyI hear mx4 doesn't have one13:14
nik90Elleo: btw after looking through the suru icon theme, it seems "seek" icon does have an end although with two triangles instead of one. https://imgur.com/XcWxmwi13:16
nik90popey: oh13:16
Elleopopey: the mx4 has more internal storage at least though13:17
popeytrue13:17
nik90popey: oh I take it you don't prefer to stream but first download all the new episodes before listening to them?13:17
Elleonik90: ah, okay13:17
popeyi tend to yes, but thats habit13:17
Elleoyeah, I expect there's a lot of people on restrictive data contracts that download stuff to listen to when out and about13:18
nik90Elleo: Does podbird remove the episodes that were streamed automatically? I am guessing there must be a cache somewhere..does that get cleaned up automatically?13:18
Elleofor me I tend to download stuff so I can listen on the tube13:18
Elleonik90: that's all handled by media-hub13:18
Elleonik90: so it should clean up after itself properly, we just pass it the stream url13:19
nik90Elleo,popey : yeah makes sense..I think a simple run through and delete old downloaded episodes should be easy enough13:19
nik90Elleo: that's nice13:19
popeyitunes does a nice thing13:19
Elleonik90: would be good to have a couple of options, like "Download after certain date" or "Download after listening"13:19
popeyif you haven't listened to a show for a while it stops autodownloading it13:19
nik90ooh that's smart13:21
popeylike, i have shows i have every intention of listening to13:21
popeybut forget about them13:21
Elleoyeah13:21
nik90yeah we need aggregate rules like this so that we remember to add them in while implementing the settings page13:21
Elleoalso the ability to override the auto-deletion on a podcast by podcast basis (like a "Keep this forever" option or something)13:22
Elleoas there's a few podcasts that I keep around to listen to multiple times13:22
popeyyeah13:23
Elleonik90: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~michael-sheldon/podbird/trunk/view/head:/app/ui/SearchTab.qml#L145 <-- if you change that to artworkUrl600 you'll get 600px * 600px artwork images when subscribing for the search13:26
Elleonik90: we can't guarantee a specific size when subscribing from a feed though, it'll just be whatever the podcast author has set as their image url13:26
Elleofrom the search*13:27
nik90Elleo: ok, well if the image url is smaller than 600px, then it will appear in a smaller size as it is now.13:28
Elleonik90: we could always allow scaling13:28
Elleonik90: chances are there'll be a reasonable size and scale fairly decently13:28
Elleothey'll*13:28
nik90yes13:28
popeyElleo: i have a show that refuses to show up in the app btw13:31
popeysearch for mintcast, and choose the mp3 feed13:31
popeyno episodes ever show up13:31
popeybut I know it's active13:31
nik90popey: https://bugs.launchpad.net/podbird/+bug/1414453 ?13:32
ubot5Launchpad bug 1414453 in podbird "No episode show in the list for Monster Radio RX93.1's Official Podcast Channel" [Low,New]13:32
popeypossibly. dunno if that applies here13:32
Elleonik90: with monster radio their server hates us13:32
nik90Elleo: yes...I was wondering perhaps mintcast might also have that same issue13:33
Elleonik90: mod_security decides we must be evil for some reason (presumably because it's a xmlhttprequest we make)13:33
Elleopossibly13:33
Elleobut it's also entirely possible that my quickly hacked together feed parser is doing something wrong ;)13:33
popeyis there a way to dump out the database of urls?13:33
popeyso I can see what url I'm using13:33
ElleoI might shift all that into C++ so we can use qnetworkrequests13:34
Elleopopey: go to ~/.local/share/com.mikeasoft.podbird/Databases13:34
Elleopopey: there'll be a .sqlite file you can open with sqlite313:34
popeyaha13:34
Elleopopey: then just  "select * from Podcast;"13:34
popeyhttp://mintcast.org/category/mp3/feed/13:35
popeywhich is the right url..13:35
popeyhttp://mintcast.org/category/mp3/feed/ has content13:35
Elleopopey: yeah, it might be because they have a bunch of identical enclosures for each episodes13:36
popeyoh yeah, that looks broken13:36
Elleopopey: yeah, but we should make our parser flexible enough to handle that sort of thing13:37
popeyshall i file a bug?13:37
Elleopopey: yes please13:38
popeyk13:38
Elleothanks13:39
nik90Elleo: can you give me permission to set bug priority and triage status..it will help with prioritizing them13:39
Elleonik90: sure13:39
nik90thnx13:41
Elleonik90: right, made a podbird-devs group and made them the driver for the project and bug management so you should be able to do pretty much anything you need now I think13:42
nik90Elleo: cool :)13:43
popeythe speakers on the bq phone aren't bad13:45
popeypretty good for podcast listening anyway13:45
popeybetter than the nexus 4, that's for certain13:45
Elleopopey: yeah and much better positioned than the nexus ones13:45
Elleoit's silly that placing the nexus on a table pretty much mutes it13:45
popeyya13:47
popeyalso, not scared of the bq sliding across the table and making a bid for freedom to the floor13:47
Elleoheh, yeah13:48
snizzomzanetti: hey, I'm testing window mode on n7. With latest build (204 I think) with the command you wrote on your blog, from the terminal app installed from ubuntu app store it says "no such schema: com.canonical.Unity8". something has changed?17:09
mzanettisnizzo, no, that schema should be valid still17:40
snizzomzanetti: ah mm. Maybe terminal app (from ubuntu core developers) isn't the right choice of terminal?17:54
mzanettisnizzo, the terminal shouldn't be an issue17:55
mzanettiyou sure you're on latest vivid?17:55
snizzo_mzanetti: let me re-check17:55
snizzo_mzanetti: i was on rtm devel. I'm installing vivid, that could be, thank you :)18:12

cmazieriHello: I need to install libsmbclient-dev in the armhf chroot to create a click package19:43
DanChapmancmazieri: in QtCreator go Tools -> Options -> Ubuntu then select "Maintain" for the kit your using. then "apt-get install libsmbclient-dev:armhf" should do it19:54
