README.md

Tracks

A simple audio player.

Features

  • Local files and streams (websites, radios, podcast feeds, etc)
  • Recursive folder discovering
  • Internal playlists
  • Text search to filter the playlist by title, artist, album and genre
  • MPRIS
  • Client-side decoration (CSD) or title bar

Dependencies

Tracks has minimal dependencies. To resume, if you have GJS, GStreamer and GTK4 you are good.

Dependencies:

  • GdkPixbuf (gdk-pixbuf-2.0)
  • GIO (gio-2.0)
  • GJS (gjs-1.0, >= 1.67.3)
  • GLib (glib-2.0)
  • GObject (gobject-2.0)
  • GStreamer (gstreamer-1.0)
  • GStreamer Base Plugins Libraries (gstreamer-plugins-base-1.0)
  • GStreamer Base Utils Library (gstreamer-pbutils-1.0)
  • GTK4 (gtk4)

GdkPixbuf, GIO, GLib and GObject should come with GTK4.
GStreamer is a plugin-based framework. Media playing capacities depend on the well-known base, good, ugly and bad plugins.

Optional:

  • GnomeDesktop (gnome-desktop-3.0)
  • GStreamer Tag Library (gstreamer-tag-1.0)
  • GStreamer Good Plugins
  • youtube-dl

GnomeDesktop is a small library used to generate thumbnails for mpris clients.
GStreamer Tag Library is not important and should come with GStreamer Base Utils Library.
GStreamer Good Plugins is necessary to display the “spectral” playing indicator.
youtube-dl extracts media uris from feeds and video-sharing websites.

Install

Host

Build and install:

meson build && cd build && ninja && sudo ninja install

Uninstall:

cd build && sudo ninja uninstall
sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/local/share/glib-2.0/schemas
sudo update-desktop-database /usr/local/share/applications/

Clean the home after uninstalling:

dconf reset -f /org/codeberg/som/Tracks/
rm -rf ~/.local/share/tracks
Flatpak

A org.gnome.Sdk runtime is required. The runtime versions can be edited in the JSON manifest to match preexisting ones and avoid unnecessary downloads.

Build and test:

flatpak-builder --force-clean build-dir org.codeberg.som.Tracks.json
flatpak-builder --run build-dir   org.codeberg.som.Tracks.json org.codeberg.som.Tracks

Build and install:

flatpak-builder --install --force-clean build-dir org.codeberg.som.Tracks.json
flatpak run org.codeberg.som.Tracks

Uninstall:

flatpak remove --delete-data org.codeberg.som.Tracks
