Downloads:  1202
Submitted:  Feb 21 2009
Updated:  Dec 12 2010

Description:

A simple plasma replacement for kmix. Not yet very powerful since python-alsaaudio is very limited.

Install with plasmapkg -i Mixeroid-0.3.zip

Test with plasma-windowed Mixeroid

Dependencies:
  • python-alsaaudio

  • python-plasma


    • Note: If you get missing script-engine errors when loading the widget you need to install the plasma python script-engine (in openSUSE this requires the "python-kdebase4" and "python-devel" packages, in Fedora this requires the "kdebase-workspace-python-applet" package, in Kubuntu this requires the "python-plasma" package)




    Changelog:

    V0.3:
  • Config dialog

  • Select orientation of the sliders

  • Select visible sliders

  • Note: you may have to restart the applet after changing the config


    • V0.2:
  • Added tooltips

  • Merged changes from comments


    • V0.1:
  • Initial release

    Please change the value of X-KDE-PluginInfo-Name in metadata.desktop to lowercase, it won't install with uppercase letters.

    I could install it with no problem on the same environment, there's no need to rename, I think.

    Sorry for inconvinience, I just figured that something must be misconfigured with my plasmapkg.
    It installs it correctly, yet still throws an error message :/

    I really like this plasmoid, though it really fits bad on thin panels and overlaps other plasmoids as well. Please, take a look at this snapshot:

    I know (though it looks ok in my panel), the standard plasma slider is not so nice for small spaces. If you like to dig into creating plasma styles (SVG stuff) you're welcome!

    It seems you've fixed its position into a panel (nice work!), but I still can't see the levers on a thin panel. It's still working as it should, though (clicking on the master "empty square" changes volume).
    There are some ways to walkthrough this, let me explain: one is adding an option into the configuration window to set indicators horizontally or vertically (defaulted) and adding an option to let users choose to put capture *next* to master (suitable for thin panels) or *below* it (normal and large panels, but as it's working fine on these sizes, default settings are more suitable = vertical) ; the best way is to let it automatically detect a panel *and* its size, but I think the first way should be easier and cheap.

    Greetings and keep on the good work!

    Nope, thymythos simply misspelled the command, it's plasmapkg, not plasmpkt ;)

    And you need python-plasma and python-alsaaudio too.

     Minor bugs.

    I had to changes some things with this plasmoid to get it to run. In the loop that adds the sliders, some of the mixers on my system return an empty list when you call getvolume() and some of them return a value of -MAXINT. So I added some checks to make sure it doesn't throw any exceptions. Also, shouldn't "slider.setToolTip('Master')" be "slider.setToolTip(m)" since presumable you want the tooltip to correspond to the channel you're controlling? Lastly, I'm not sure why you're setting the channel in that loop when it's not used and just gets set when you call changeVolume anyway.

    My changes are here: http://pastebin.com/f14e25065

    The tooltips don't work for me anyway (any idea how to enable these?)

    The python-alsaaudio seems to be very limited, on my intel-hda it only shows a control for Master and one for Capture which both control the same channel. Maybe we can switch to KDE style (solid or phonon) as a backend.

    I don't have any idea how to enable the tooltips. I have an intel-hda (82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) to be specific) and before I made the changes, it only showed two channels also. Now I've got sliders for master, pcm, digital, int mic, and ext mic. The only one that doesn't work is digital. Alsaaudio says there's no such channel for some reason. The reason they all control the same channel is that you're setting all the tooltips to 'Master' and then using that tooltip to tell changeVolume what mixer to control.

    About Phonon/Solid, the AudioInterface class in PyKDE4.solid looks like it might do the job. I don't think it would be too difficult to also add a configuration dialog that tells it what channels to display.

    Hm, I have a Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) but with the modifications it also shows only two channels. I managed to get the tooltips working.

    I'm pretty new to the python stuff, but I think I will have a look at solid. Any volunteer who want's to do the config part?

    If I run the python-alsaaudio mixer example as root, I get all channels. I already checked the permissions of /dev/snd/* but no change...

     use of plasmoid?

    i do not believe that plasmoid should be made for stuff like this because there are certain drawbacks when compared to icons in system tray:

    you can't hide plasmoid like battery monitor, and this one

    they usually take more precious space than system tray icons

    and plasmoids are usually stand alone applications and not part of some bigger program like kmix

    > you can't hide plasmoid like battery monitor, and this one

    That's exactly why I made this plasmoid, because with kmix, you have to click once to able to change master volume and you have to click twice to get all mixers. With this plasmoid you can change and see all channels you like. Always!

    But if it clutters your panel, place it on the desktop. Can you do this with kmix? *g*

    first of all i don't want to undermine anyones work, if it weren't of you OS developers there wouldn't be linux because it heavily relies on community..

    @ TotoKid
    if you are already developing, do something useful. I explained above why i do not see this as a useful widget.

    propositions: multirow systray, working reliable networking plasmoid, improved notification management..ect
    there is a lot of work to be done, and i hate to see someone 'wasting' time developing something that IMHO in not useful.

    please read on..

    @ thymythos
    >That's exactly why I made this plasmoid, because with kmix, you have to click once to able to change master volume

    that is not actually true:
    1. you can just hover above icon in system tray and scroll mouse wheel to change volume
    same concept applies for amarok icon in system tray
    2. there are special vlume keys on almost all laptop keyboards, and many casual desktop keyboards
    pressing these keys bring up nice OSD in center of the screen that displays current volume.

    you currently have 128 downloads and rating of 68 so people do find your plasmoid useful, this is only my humble opinion i really did not mean any insult..

    Remember that just because you don't think something has a use doesn't mean that other people don't think it does. Personally, I would very much like the flexability of having a plasmoid mixer rather than requiring me to clutter up the system tray (right now I have a second panel that auto-hides with everything like the device notifier, the network manager, etc.)

    Regarding the rating, the low rating could just be because this isn't quite feature complete yet. Not because people don't want a mixer plasmoid. If they didn't want a mixer plasmoid they wouldn't download it.

    Lastly, what part of *donated time* do you not understand? If the developer of this plasmoid wants to work on a mixer plasmoid, let him work on one! If you feel that strongly about multi-line system trays, you work on that.

     Mute?

    Could you add support for muting?

    I use this plasmoid on top of my screensaver, so when I resume my laptop in e.g. a public library or at the university, I can mute the sound output, before unlocking the screen (and thus before it plays any sound).

    I'd be even happier, if there was an option to just have the mute button show without the whole mixer.
