Currently, the icon does not describe the application's functionality very well.

A metaphor could be something like a magnifying glass looking through sound waves or music notes.

It would be useful to have this project's landing site / website, so any future news articles can link to it and the website would make a better visual representation of the project that could attract more users, developers and contributors.

A simple and free option is via Github Pages, that a lot of github open source projects are using, which Github hosts for any repo on their website.

Hosted directly from your GitHub repository. Just edit, push, and your changes are live.

Currently when spotify button is clicked, it opens the open.spotify.com link in browser.
First it gets opened in browser, and then you can open it in desktop app via website. This increases number of steps for those having official spotify desktop app.
The desktop app can handle spotify:// URI links. Is there a way that spotify button provides a spotify:// URI instead of open.spotify.com. So, upon clicking Spotify in Mousai, it would directly open in spotify desktop app instead of web browser.

In this world, there is a wonderful client for Spotify for GNOME called Spot. As I have already notified, AudD API can return the current track position in timecode JSON entry, so I request an ability to open Spot with the found track and position if possible.

Cross-reference Issue: xou816/spot#463

Hi and thanks for the great app.
I'm using KDE Plasma and even though my gtk theme is breeze-dark , the app uses adwaita light.
I understand if you don't want the UI to be messed up by themes, but could you make it support dark/light themes?

OS: Manjaro XFCE
Installation method: AUR
Affected Version: 0.6.0 and 0.6.1

Afterwards, it says "No audio detected" and "Please check your audio device". I have a working microphone in my laptop (it works with other apps, e.g. skype), and I also tried an earphone.

When I run from the command line, I get the error

$ mousai
Error: gst-resource-error-quark: Could not open file "/home/archisman/.cache/tmp/mousaitmp.ogg" for writing. (6) ../gstreamer/plugins/elements/gstfilesink.c(471): gst_file_sink_open_file (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstFileSink:filesink0:
system error: Bad file descriptor

Failed to start

I cannot say when this issue appeared.

Last time I used the app was in July, and then the issue was absent.

The simplified Chinese translation not work, please use zh_CN language code instead of zh_Hans.

View this for reference. Thank you.

Should be fixed in gtk 4.4.2 by settings primary=true

I think it would be great to have an improved mobile layout with bigger buttons, because this will be a perfect Shazam alternative for mobile Linux phones.

Installed app as a flatpak, when I click on settings button, this weird ui thing happens.

What worked :
when launching the application with this command AMD_DEBUG=nodcc flatpak run io.github.seadve.Mousai , everything is working perfectly

currently, we use except Exection, especially on the backend

Hey,
it would be cool to choose the source for audio recognition. For example, besides recording with microphone, one could also record the system sound directly.
Best regards

I have most likely used the wrong technical term, so I apologize in advance. Also sorry for my english.

Here is the problem

Step to reproduce the issue:
Touch on 3 dots

Expected Behaviour:
3 dots menù is open.

Actual Behaviour:
3 dots menù stay closed (highlited like mouse hover)

If before using the touch screen to open the menu I use the mouse, the subsequent touch events are recorded correctly and the menu works as expected

Could you add option to export songs to .txt file?

This should also show buffering state like in player

Is there a CLI version available?

I get this error:

Using Manjaro Gnome and installed it from here https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mousai

Using v0.6.6 from Flathub.
Removing the microphone doesn't seem to fix the issue.

This would avoid receiving this error message which looks like it is meant to be hidden from users.

It would be really nice to be able to use this app on a Linux phone like the Pine phone but the AUR build lists this package as not available for aarch64. Could the aarch64 tag be added to the AUR if it was verified to build correctly?

==> ERROR: mousai is not available for the 'aarch64' architecture

When trying to recognize a song without an internet connection, the program displays the complete exception and does not display easy-to-recognize information that is happening. If you do not realize if your Internet is not working well or you are disconnected, this can make you feel that the program is not working properly.

Currently the description of this is very shy and in my opinion you should add a couple of key points that users will want to know...

On the website of the api:

Music recognition API for both content analysis and in-app music recognition costs from $2 to $5 per 1000 requests. First 300 requests for free.

I think that this sentence should be added in the collapsible menu below your first sentence like this rough example:

I have already installed manually libadwaita 1.0.0alpha2
what happening here?

This is what it currently looks like:

It would be better if there is a more colorful artwork for the welcome state to comply with the HIG.

The icon is not transparent when I open it in KDE Plasma, which is weird because the file in /var/lib/flatpak/app/io.github.seadve.Mousai/x86_64/stable/2439ff5c96f580d12a5f28e9b91f24d0055039894be62ef52d9857da935689a8/files/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/io.github.seadve.Mousai.svg is transparent when I open it manually. Small nitpicky issue, I know. But I just thought I'd do my part by submitting this.

Hey,
it would be cool to use Mousai from the commandline like

mousai --recognize-audio

and it would print the result without using the GUI.

when running mousai.

It should stop when other preview starts playing.

One possible fix is to signal other buttons to stop playing.

Hi, after running flatpak update, I saw the following:

Info: runtime org.gnome.Platform branch 42 is end-of-life, with reason:
The GNOME 42 runtime is no longer supported as of March 21, 2023. Please ask your application developer to migrate to a supported platform.
Info: applications using this runtime:
io.github.seadve.Mousai

Is it possible to update the runtime? Thanks for your work & great app

Shows 'Failed to create element from factory name' when clicken on listen.

Its kind of a standard in gnome apps to use a symbolic icon in Status Page. Maybe use a symbolic icon?

I'm pretty sure this is related or even the same issue as #22 but I can't get it to build with meson :(

Please check why summary and description texts for Mousai don't translate into the Croatian localized versions at https://apps.gnome.org/hr/ as well as at https://apps.gnome.org/hr/app/io.github.seadve.Mousai/ (it does work for instance for German).

The Croatian translation of the app is complete at Weblate.

The Croatian localized version does work for Kooha (https://apps.gnome.org/hr/app/io.github.seadve.Kooha/)

Arch linux with most recent updates. I even installed a GNOME DE to see if Mousai can catch the sound there - still this issue.
Maybe I need some kind of awkward sound mixer?
I have those sound-related packages installed: alsa-utils, pulseaudio, pulseaudio-alsa and pavucontrol.

Make the recognized Artist/Title to be copied.

Hello there,
I have installed it from flathub, but when I try to run it I get this message:

(io.github.seadve.Mousai:2): Gtk-WARNING **: 20:36:51.392: cannot open display:
I am using Fedora 34 Gnome 40, GTK4.
Thank you.

On https://apps.gnome.org/app/io.github.seadve.Mousai/ it doesn't show up any images.

For example: https://apps.gnome.org/assets/screenshots/io.github.seadve.Mousai/Mousai-screenshot2.png says: The image “https://apps.gnome.org/assets/screenshots/io.github.seadve.Mousai/Mousai-screenshot2.png” cannot be displayed because it contains errors.

Using Firefox 91.7.0esr (64-bit)

On KDE Plasma the select icon is missing.
Mousai 0.7.0
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.104.0
Themes are default.

Otherwise the newest update is really nice :)

The GNOME 40 runtime is no longer supported as of March 21, 2022.

Is there an easy way to get access to the song history list outside of the UI? Perhaps via the filesystem (Like text or json stored in a data folder)? I've looked over the code but was unsuccessful in finding an answer since I'm unfamiliar with GTK/Rust. If I understand correctly, I'm trying to find where else I can access Application::default().settings().string("history") from outside of Mousai. Is that possible?

Thanks so much! Mousai is a stellar app!

The app works fine if you play a song it recognizes but if you dont play a song or play a song it doesnt recognize it freezes. I imagine it has a timeout where it provides an error but its not working right. I'm on PopOs and I also attached a screen recording with the bug and a neofetch. Im using version 0.6.6 stable branch installed from flatpak. Let me know if there's any other information I should provide. Thank you!

Hi. Thank you for so cool project. Please, implement get token like in the Planner https://i.imgur.com/89kKUka.png
