Pithos

[logavanc]

Pithos is a Pandora client for the GNOME Desktop. The official
Flash-based client is a CPU hog, and Pianobar is a great
reverse-engineered implementation, but is command-line only. Neither
integrate with the desktop very well, missing things like media key
support and song notifications.

I can go through the EasyPBI process on my own, and it is pretty straight forward, so I am assuming that this request area is so that a PBI package can be automatically generated based on upstream packages or something, right?

This forum was created before EasyPBI was made available I think and this was probably a main way for people to request PBI's to be made (but I'm a noobie so could be wrong, LoL). I tried to create a PBI for Tribler but there is a bug in EasyPBI, however one of the awesome staff here told me about the problem and a work-around for it.

You can read about it and Ken Moore's (Beanpole's) solution if you are interested or run into the same problem. The people here are really Awesome with all the help they give to everyone.

I already created and configured a PBI module for pithos and added it to the build server. I actually had to tweak the standard EasyPBI module a bit in order to get it to work, but it seems to be working now except for the fact that no sound comes out of my speakers (but I have been having issues with an unconventional sound setup for my system recently).

If you would like, you can download the module [1] and build it with EasyPBI on your system as well to test it out.

Yes, EasyPBI is a (relatively) new tool for creating PBI's on your own system, rather than forcing a user to wait for the PBI to appear in the AppCafe. However, we still are very active about filling PBI requests posted here on the forums, and ask that if a user does build a personal PBI for their own use (using EasyPBI), to please send the module to the PC-BSD pbi-dev mailing list so that we can get it added to the AppCafe for others to use as well.

FYI: There is a shiny new version of EasyPBI available in the PC-BSD repository that will be included with PC-BSD 9.1. This version has had the back-end completely rewritten and allows full editing of PBI modules within the GUI in addition to fixing the PBI build bug that the current PBI in the AppCafe has.

To get this new version; from a terminal run:
"svn co svn://svn.pcbsd.org/pcbsd/current/src-qt4/EasyPBI EasyPBI-source"
then cd to that directory and (as root) run "qmake-qt4 *.pro; make"

This does require that you have the PC-BSD "Development-Qt" system package installed in order to run.

Have fun with it!

Thanks a lot Beanpole, but I never have any luck doing anything in any terminal, LoL. Will wait until version 9.1 comes out so I don't mess up my computer somehow, LoL. Never had much luck with compiling on Linux either.

To prove my bad luck, this is the error I get when doing the first part of your instructions:
svn: E170000: URL 'svn://svn.pcbsd.org/current/src-qt4/EasyPBI' doesn't exist

Not to worry: I know 9.1 will be out soon and I'm patient. Thanks again!

Oops, sorry about that, I had a typo in the URL. It should be:
"svn co svn://svn.pcbsd.org/pcbsd/current/src-qt4/EasyPBI EasyPBI-source"

(I just edited my previous post to fix it there as well)

Thanks Beanpole.

So wait, you mean to tell me that PCBSD does not have a solution for preventing or automatically fixing Typos yet? I thought PCBSD had everything? (Just joking)

[Beanpole]

The PBI's for Pithos are currently available in the AppCafe.

Thank you.
