Erreur de segmentation (core dumped)

Note : Qt mode is broken (at least in that context). Switching to it is not a solution.
(Can't open playlist window menus, can't check the box to enable plugin in preferences)

[radioactiveman]

The Global Hotkeys plugin relies on X11. It does not and will not work with Wayland.
You can start Audacious via XWayland with GDK_BACKEND=x11 audacious.

The plugin should not crash though. We should implement a check to avoid this.

[FM33]

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, they work only when audacious has focus. I worked around some by assigning commands from audacious --help to gnome settings shortcuts, but it's missing seeking back/forward and volume.

[radioactiveman]

audtool supports more commands, also seeking and changing the volume.

[FM33]

Perfect, many thanks. I wrote a few-line script to workaround the lack of relative volume setting:

#!/bin/bash

actualvol=$(audtool get-volume)
newvol=$actualvol

if [ "$1" = "up" ]; then
   newvol=$(($actualvol+5))
fi

if [ "$1" = "down" ]; then
   newvol=$(($actualvol-5))
fi

audtool set-volume $newvol
exit 0

If anyone is interested, I noticed that gnome shortcuts doesn't recognize "~" variable for home folder. It needs to be plain path:

/home/user/script_name up
/home/user/script_name down

Implemented with audacious-media-player/audacious-plugins@08c2f6a. Thanks for reporting.
