Album art loading scaled to 50%. about plattenalbum HOT 26 CLOSED

FYI, I just started a new session under wayland and no longer have this issue. Album art loads correctly.

from plattenalbum.

Hi! Are you using the UI scaling of gtk?

from plattenalbum.

Yes! Okay a few quick tests confirm it's not a Wayland/Xorg issue. I did not have scaling on when I logged into wayland. After UI scaling to 150% and restarting mpdevil I saw the same album art scaling issue.

The issue is not present in either Wayland or Xorg if I reset UI scaling to 100%.

Commit e9ad0b3 should fix this issue. Can you confirm?

from plattenalbum.

So I removed the flatpak and just tried building from source with the new commit using the guidance in your readme.

I'm not familiar with meson, you might need to give me some additional guidance. :)

It seems like gettext is not installed on your system. sudo apt install gettext should fix this on ubuntu.

from plattenalbum.

Next error was:

Program glib-compile-resources found: NO

I had to install libglib2.0-dev-bin. Then the meson command worked.

Confirmed, the commit fixed my issue - the album art image is no longer scaled when I use UI scaling.

from plattenalbum.

Next error was:

I'll try to fix the build dependencies in the readme.

Confirmed, the commit fixed my issue - the album art image is no longer scaled when I use UI scaling.

Ok, that is good. But I think it breaks wayland compatibility, is that the case on your machine as well?

from plattenalbum.

After UI scaling to 150% and restarting mpdevil I saw the same album art scaling issue.

Even under wayland? I tested this over here and it seems like the issue only occurs under xorg in combination with UI scaling.

from plattenalbum.

I've looked into it a little deeper and at least over here commit ed899a1 fixes the wayland incompatibility. Can you confirm that there are no regressions compared to e9ad0b3? Also I've updated the readme to improve the build dependencies.

from plattenalbum.

Hmm after rebuilding and installing from your latest, mpdevil no longer starts for me. Neither xorg nor wayland.

from plattenalbum.

Is there any output on the console?

from plattenalbum.

error: app/org.mpdevil.mpdevil/x86_64/master not installed

from plattenalbum.

What am I doing wrong?

from plattenalbum.

I'm not sure. The message looks like a flatpak error. But if I understood you correctly you removed the flatpak for testing. If you installed mpdevil to /usr/local then a simple /usr/local/bin/mpdevil should start the program.

from plattenalbum.

Confirmed, I flatpak uninstalled and have been building from source since. The which command indicates it's still executing from /usr/local/bin/mpdevil:

$ which mpdevil
/usr/local/bin/mpdevil

However if I run the executable from the absolute path per your last, then I get a different result:

$ /usr/local/bin/mpdevil 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/mpdevil", line 23, in <module>
    from mpd import MPDClient, CommandError, ConnectionError
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mpd'

from plattenalbum.

Okay, I apt installed python3-mpd

from plattenalbum.

It's running now. I'll test things and get back to you.

(Not sure why it built before!? Maybe something I did purged python3-mpd)

from plattenalbum.

Okay, I apt installed python3-mpd

Yes, exactly. You were missing the mpd module.

(Not sure why it built before!? Maybe something I did purged python3-mpd)

It should build fine without it. But I'm not sure how you managed to run it the last time.

from plattenalbum.

The which command indicates it's still executing from /usr/local/bin/mpdevil:

Weird, may I ask what you executed to get the flatpak error before?

from plattenalbum.

Just ran mpdevil at the command line.

$ mpdevil
error: app/org.mpdevil.mpdevil/x86_64/master not installed

from plattenalbum.

Testing your latest was all successful. Expected album art image sizes (both mini player and standard) under scenarios:

Wayland:

• No UI scaling (100%)
• UI scaling (150%)

xorg:

• No UI scaling (100%)
• UI scaling (150%)

from plattenalbum.

Ok, good. I'll try to make a new release soon.

from plattenalbum.

Maybe when /usr/local/bin/mpdevil failed, something caused it to default to some remnant of my fltapak install?

from plattenalbum.

Awesome, thanks so much for your fast response and fixes.

I'm not sure but it definitely looks like a flatpak issue. After a quick search I found various reports of similar problems. I hope this repairs itself after you reinstall the flatpak. Also flatpak seems to think you what to start the flatpak from the master branch which I'm not even providing (at least as far as I know).
