Unmute after add not working #47

nicolito · 2015-07-08T13:46:26Z

Blockify detects and blocks adds (mutes program mixer) but does not unmute it after add finishes.
I have to manually enter sound controls and unmute the spotify mixer after each add.

When using a playlist it furthermore does not resume playing on spotify after the playlist song finishes. I have to restart spotify to make it posible to play the next song. Seems like signals only go one way:
spotify->blockify
not
blockify->spotify
Here is the version number and logfile of the last try.
blockify --version 1.8.7

I am furthermore using spotify on Arch linux, installed from the AUR.

Any idea on how to debug this would be appreciated.

I cannot reproduce this with ArchLinux.
Did you do a system update today and/or haven't rebooted in a while? If so, please do a reboot and try to reproduce the error again.
On the other hand, if you haven't updated in a while, it might help, too.

As far as debugging this error, this seems to be an error specific to your configuration. Try deleting all files/folders in ~/.config/blockify except for the playlist (if you want to keep it). Make sure your audio/pulseaudio configuration isn't faulty. Are notifications working on your system? Any dbus misconfiguration? Your guess is as good as mine right now ;)
The one thing i could look at is your pulse sink info. See the troubleshooting section of the blockify readme on how to get that info.

Regards

nicolito · 2015-07-09T07:33:53Z

Thanks for confirming that the error is with my configuration.
I regularly update the system and did remove the files configuration files in blcokify before submitting the issue. It must be something else than blockify. I will try to understand how my dbus works. Notifications work however.
This is my pulse sink info:

pacmd list-sink-inputs | curl -F c=@- https://ptpb.pw
long: AGIEsoAOYHTBPoXJw-EPguOCbHef
sha1: 6204b2800e6074c13e85c9c3e10f82e3826c779f
short: bHef
status: created

uuid: df566db7-2f62-49c8-abd9-3de97b6a9c33

I hope it makes sense to you. I do not understand what it says.

I tried playing with a playlist once more with the same result. Music didn't resume and couldn't be started after add stopped. The block was however released somehow after killing blockify with ctrl-c. I could start the music, but the mixer was still muted.
I don't know if this tells you what happens, but here is the last ouptut from the console when stopping blockify with ctrl-c:

I will read up on dbus now

Thanks for taking the time

gmdfalk · 2015-07-10T05:18:53Z

In the blockify.ini, change
pacmd_muted_value = yes
to
pacmd_muted_value = ja

I really have to implement a language agnostic solution instead of this configuration switch. Will come with the next version.

nicolito · 2015-07-10T12:33:23Z

Thankyou,
That solved all issues.
A language agnostic version would certainly be a good idea. In the meanwhile you could just add a comment about it in the "Troubleshooting" section of your instructions.

Your help, as well as your software, has been very much appreciated
