First of all, times change and Audacious 4.0 was released in 2020. My preference is also GTK over Qt so I personally started to take care of the GTK support for Audacious.

Secondly, Arch package maintainers do not decide what's officially supported. They only decide what is supported for Arch Linux.

And last but not least, there is a proposal to restore GTK support for Audacious in [extra]. However there is no response yet...

@Radioactiveman, I don't remember an exact date but when v4 was released (after a long time with 3.10.1), it was clearly stated on the forum that "the future of audacious" was qt and all new features would be there, whereas GTK3 users will have to suffer old versions and no fixes.

If GTK3 were officially supported, it would be in Extra just like the QT version, not in AUR... This is a real and official support of GTK, alongside Qt:

extra/qalculate-gtk 5.3.0-1
    GTK frontend for libqalculate
extra/qalculate-qt 5.3.0-1
    Qt frontend for libqalculate

Even the index page clearly states Qt only! The download page basically says "We give you precompiled only the qt edition. If you want the GTK3, compile it yourself". Basically, this is enforcing your preference to qt on the users, forcing them to use the qt version, even if they despise qt (I'm one of these users), especially those who don't know how to compile from source.

@rado84: This is incorrect, where and when was this stated? Read the changelog for Audacious 4.4. In fact GTK 3 support is enabled by default meanwhile.

The official Arch package explicitly disables it though. Hence I provide audacious-gtk3 in the AUR.

You can believe me. If you don't know yet, I'm one of Audacious' developers. :)

They say the same: "Report it to AUR bc we don't officially support GTK3 framework, only QT".

@rado84: Please report this upstream in the Audacious bug tracker and attach a sample file. The AUR comment section is only meant for Arch specific building/packaging issues.

This version has a weird problem: when I'm listening to local music (meaning on my storage device), the seeker is missing. That rectangular shape you see on this screenshot is missing in 4.4.1-gtk3: https://i.imgur.com/dVXZSB6.png Normally it should be hidden only when you're listening to an online radio (stream). I haven't tried with the standard qt version, though.

That shape is present and accounted for in v4.4-2 gtk3.

problem with manjaro: there is no glib2-devel. just glib2.

Radioactiveman commented on 2024-06-13 18:29 (UTC)

Updated, thanks for the info.

glib2 has been split into separate packages, that explains why is was working before.

@Npa i think that gdbus-codegen was removed from glib2 package starting from version 2.80.3-1

@ harmathy & kionez. It's weird, yesterday I was able to build the package without glib2-devel. New try today and you actually need glib2-devel ? glib2-devel is also required for the audacious-plugins-gtk3, audacious-git. No problem with audacious-plugins-git ?
