Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/106

Tried to Install spotify-player with Image and Lyric_Finder unfortunately Image does not have Binaries and is just a library and should hence be listed as a dependencies rather than as a package.

Uncertain but it should be clarified that lyric_finder is the name and not lyric-finder as the github page states.

Uncertain what the PKGBuild would look like may need to wait for an update to list Image as a dependency in cargo.lock assumedly as just adding to build():

cargo build --locked --release --features image, lyric_finder would work unless dependencies work differently

and package() adding:

cargo install --features image, lyric_finder.

Did not work.

Anyways, I wait for an update that may fix these build issues. Cheers.

I tried installing with Cargo but it got messier as I couldn't specify the playback backend and had the same issues, as well.

Also no clue if lyric_finder has the same problems as Image or not. Image is not a binary and has to be set as a [dependencies]. It would error out immediately.

Again, if you could show the modified PKGBUILD that would feature image and lyric_finder that would be appreciated unless there is an issue in the cargo.lock file as I suspect.

hi @ForeignExchangeZtudent, I don't have access to an arch machine nor have an experience dealing with this kind of issue, so I'm afraid I couldn't help.

Maybe @alosarjos (the package's AUR maintainer) can have a thought on this

Hmmm, if I'm understanding this correctly, the issue is that the AUR package is missing some optional features right?

Right now I'm packaging with the default settings. I have no issue updating the package to include more features by default on Arch, but I think that it's @aome510 who should decide what features are enabled by default when redistributing this proyect.

@aome510 commented on GitHub (Jan 15, 2023):

Yeah, I think the current set of default features should work for most people. If you want to build the app with additional features, you can always do it manually with cargo install (assuming that you have cargo installed on your machine):

cargo install spotify_player --features lyric-finder,image

cargo install --features image, lyric_finder.
Did not work.

I think it didn't work because you have an extra space between two features, so it tried to also install lyric_finder package instead of lyric_finder feature. To clarify, the feature should be lyric-finder as in the command I mentioned above.

Thanks guys, I figured it out you have to build:

cargo build --release --locked --features lyric-finder,image

if you want both features through AUR. Anyways, resolved. Thanks again for the help, my apologies for not understanding cargo properly.

No problem. You can always build it locally and move the generated binary to where the AUR package installs it (/usr/bin/spotify_player)

You have some options to get it the way you want it. 👍

Is there a way to verify image support has been properly installed? I'm running arch and used yay --editmenu -S spotify-player to edit the PKGBUILD before building, adding the --features image part as described above. building went without apparent issues, on top of my existing installation.

spotify-player is running inside a kitty window. I've verified that image support is working via kitty +kitten icat "path/to/image". The player window shows no image:

To make sure, i added the two lines cover_image_width and cover_img_length to my config as well, but it didnt help.

When running yay -Qi spotify-player the build date shows my last build time, and the packager is unknown as well, so i assume it was built on top of the last install successfully.

@RainerZufahl In my case using gnome-console just by building it I can see it (It looks really bad since console doesn't have support for images) so it should just work

Could you try using the PKGBUILD from https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/106#issuecomment-1383199211 and just do a makepkg -si?

Ah, that did the trick. And I found the issue with my previous approach: since I didnt uninstall the player before reinstalling it with the new flag, i (obviously) have to cleanBuild the package, which i declined before. But now I tested it with cleanBuild and it worked just as well.

Thank you!

@aome510 notify seems to be pretty stable. please consider ship it by default or on arch

Imo, the default should be minimal and should only include features needed to make the app function like a music player. notify is definitely not one of them. Also, I think it's not too difficult to update the PKGBUILD by yourself to include any additional features.
