This relies on the AUR package "terminal", which doesn't exist anymore.

I am able to log in, but it takes nearly half a minute and It appears to have only downloaded a list of the first 1000-ish songs, alphabetically. It probably isn't helpful, but the last song in the list is 'Chinese Checkers' by "Booker T. & the MG's", and the first song not in the list is 'Chinese Children' by 'Devendra Banhart'.

v1.9.3-2
-Now the program uses only the https protocol (the old simple http protocol is deprecated)

v.1.9.3
-Fixed a bug that did not allow to download and play songs to those accounts which wanted the "?u=0" params into the url.

v1.9.2
-Fixed again (yes, again xD) the login function that did not work for some accounts which wanted the "?u=0" params into the login url.
-Added debug messages if any error occurred during login process. These messages will show the server response, in this way will be easier to understand the cause of the error.
-Added the possibility to report the debug messages directly to me via email.

Just tested again with my two accounts, no login issue here O_o
However as I wrote in the README:
"Known bugs
-Sometime even if the login data are correct you got an "invalid token" error: to solve this problem just wait some minute and try again."
Maybe it's the same issue, please wait some minutes and try again and let me know if you solve ;)

Updated the package adding "terminal" between the dependencies ;)

Comment by Red_Squirrel

2012-01-04 09:31

Yes, I thought it was on every distro by default for this reason I didn't add it to dependencies.
But now I'll add it to deps asap ;)

Sorry for the multipost.
That worked perfectly! Should it be added as a dependency?

The program uses "terminal -x" to start a console window so check ("which terminal") you have "terminal" installed in your distro

Hi! I'm having trouble getting Manny to download via wget, it works fine over the browser though. It seems that it just freezes whenever I try to download via wget and doesn't open up a new console window. I've left it alone and no new files are put in the folder I designated. Is there a log or something I can check? I've tried running from console but no errors are thrown up.
I know it isn't much information but I'd love to use this program.

-Preliminary functions to create an Internal Player (this feature will be available starting from v2.0 final)

Been getting an error for the a while now. Whenever i try logging in i get

"Unable to load your song list!
Error: Not an object"

Then it just loads the played with nothing in it. Tried googleing it but can't seem to find anything. Anyone have any ideas?

This requires the gambas3-gb-form-stock package to function. Please add it to the dependency list.

Fixed! now it should be ok, right? :)

I suggest you look at some other PKGBUILD and see how they provide the source and how they deal w/o sudo.
IMHO it's best to look at the packages from the official repos as they should use proper PKGBUILDs http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/curl/trunk/PKGBUILD

Oooohhhh, now I understand the thing about sourcecode ^^' Sorry, I'll make the required changes to the PKGBUILD ;)
But about sudo? How can i solve?

Comment by Red_Squirrel

2011-08-07 15:49

I don't understand the thing about sourcecode O_o There is no sourcecode in the app, there are only binary, icon e .desktop file :/
About sudo, how can I acquire root privileges without it?
