How to get notifications with DeadBeef player?

kierun · 2022-02-23T09:36:07.186Z

I am trying to get the OSD Notification plugin for DeadBeef.

The plugin does not show up in the list of installed plugins. I looked at dnf but cannot see anything that I have no installed already.

What am I missing?

I don’t see it in the list of plugins here:

https://deadbeef.sourceforge.io/plugins.html

The RPM Fusion package seems to package all the plugins included in the released tar, so this particular plugin does not seem to be included there:

github.com

rpmfusion/deadbeef/blob/master/deadbeef.spec#L15


      
          %global mp4p_commit        97ab7285d244de9cde6333e381f9f797b89ce8aa
          %global mp4p_shortcommit   %(c=%{mp4p_commit}; echo ${c:0:7})
          
          
%global ddb_dsp_libretro_commit        b0921907bc8f5c8468d01de290980d236797b14e
          %global ddb_dsp_libretro_shortcommit   %(c=%{mp4p_commit}; echo ${c:0:7})
          
          
%global ddb_output_pw_commit        14a3fc6b4e725fbb91009276b1220d39475928f8

EDIT:

I do see a --disable-notify flag in the RPM Fusion build here:

github.com

rpmfusion/deadbeef/blob/master/deadbeef.spec#L116


      
          sed -i 's|Toggle Pause|Toggle-Pause|' deadbeef.desktop.in
          for data in Play Pause Toggle-Pause Stop Next Prev
          do
              sed -i "s|$data Shortcut Group|X-$data Shortcut Group|" deadbeef.desktop.in
          done
          
          
# Remove unknown pragma
          sed -i '/#pragma warning "using sse2 for ftoi"/d' fastftoi.h
          
          
%build
          %if 0%{?fedora} && 0%{?fedora} > 35
          export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="%{_libdir}/compat-ffmpeg4/pkgconfig"
          %endif
          ./autogen.sh
          %configure \
              --enable-ffmpeg --docdir=%{_defaultdocdir}/%{name}-%{version} \
              --disable-silent-rules \
              --disable-static \
              --disable-gtk2 \
          %ifarch armv7hl ppc64le
              --disable-lfm \

Not sure if it is related to this plugin, though. Probably best to file a bug so that the RPM Fusion maintainer can look into it:

https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora

If the plugin is not included in the deadbeef sources, it’ll need to be packaged separately like the deadbeef-mpris plugin.

Here is the open bug report in case anyone stumbles upon this chat.

Version 1.8.8-5 will contain notification. I tested it and it works fine for me.

Awesome, thanks for the bug report, this will benefit all deadbeef users
