@jperry: Glad to hear! Thanks for the help improving the package. Will do what you suggest ASAP.

Thank you for providing this, it works well for me. You may want to add gnome-icon-theme as a dependency, otherwise the toolbar icons are blank.

Thank you for the heads up and the fix, Pitbuster. I've updated the package.

Until this is merged https://gitlab.com/zykure/deadbeef-fb/-/merge_requests/10/ you can fix compilation adding this to the PKGBUILD sed -e "s/errno/err_no/g" -i utils.c

This plug-in works, I'm it using at this very moment. The problem is that it doesn't use a thread to go through directories and do whatever business it needs to do. So while it's doing all this the interface blocks until it's done. Not only I had to change filebrowser.defaultpath from "/" to where my music is actually stored. I also disabled the album cover updating and probably some more stuff that takes time. Then deadbeef takes about a minute to start up (you don't see any window popping up for a while) each time even with all this stuff disabled. It's not really crashed. Just busy. What it needs is a thread and perhaps sending a message to a progress bar in the control of the plug-in while it's loading the data it needs.

Thanks for providing this! I've been waiting for this plugin for a long time. Unfortunately it doesn't work for me: when I add this plugin to the GUI, it prints the following two lines as output, deadbeef-gtkui starts using 100% cpu and the GUI completely freezes:

(deadbeef:14647): GLib-CRITICAL **: 21:53:07.094: g_str_has_suffix: assertion 'str != NULL' failed

(deadbeef:14647): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 21:53:07.095: gtk_entry_set_text: assertion 'text != NULL' failed

In the package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/deadbeef-plugin-fb/, someone mentions the same problem, and user Ikrk suggests that the error is with the filebrowser.defaultpath variable in ~/.config/deadbeef/config . That variable was empty in my case; I filled it with an existing path but that didn't solve the crash. Then I noticed there are more filebrowser variables without a value in that file; I filled them all to see if that works but still crashes. Removed the entire ~/.config/deadbeef folder and retried but no change. Does anyone have an idea?
