Hi,
I'll answer below your words :)
*Re: the "Record Stream" script not stopping "streamripper" during the
recording process.*
I cannot answer about this, since I've never worked on it.. Let's wait
for someone who know it.
I have contacted the developer of the "RecordStream" script, and filed
a bug report, and now I am in a "wait and see what happens" mode. You
seem to indicate that you are doing something on your end as well, if
that is so, please keep me posted. Although I am not familiar with
"Javascript" yet, I am trying some various code to see if I can get it
to stop recording an Internet stream (stop "streamripper"), and I'll
let you know if it works.
That was the thing to do. About what I'm currently doing: I'm
contributing to the porting of Amarok to the KDE Framework and Plasma.
It's a huge amount of work, but it's slowly catching up.
*Re: Suggestions for enhancing Amarok's Playlists with "one click"
easier access to "saved playlists" and "tabs".
It **would be really nice to have a direct "single-click" way to get
to the "saved Playlists", "Amarok Database", and or "Playlist files on
disk" in an opened state (with the lists already displayed), on the
toolbar, or even a keyboard shortcut, and or maybe one or two icons
(launchers), at the top or bottom of the "current playlist"; and
having multiple playlist tabs and tab options in the currently playing
playlist would sure be great too..*
This was already asked, and we all agree with you. We are currently
working a lot to port Amarok to the new Framework and to Qt5, but I
think this comes next :) (and I hope so!)
I am looking forward to this as well. Should I fill out a request for
this in the "bugs' wish list section, or has that already been taken
care of as you seem to be suggesting? Myriam thought I should, but I
do not want to be redundant, unless it would help things along.
Go on bugs.kde.org, check amarok and see if the bug is already there.
Also I keep this in mind, for when I'll be done with my current
occupation on Amarok.
*Re: an enhanced "Record Stream" script with multiple timer schedules
by date and time for various streaming stations, with the ability to
manage and edit those. *
*Re: Lastly, it would be also be nice, although not essential, to have
Amarok, be able to open and play videos (ex: music videos), even if it
spawns an external media (video) player which would require a
configuration setting somewhere, maybe a plug-in, or script.*
I think this will never be added... To be good in something, it's
better to focus in this something I think, and for us it's music...
Check VLC or whatever player you like.
I do agree that to be really great at anything requires focusing on
that, but after you have completed that task, then you can add even
more things to be great at to your skill set, or a program's feature
set. It was just a thought because of music videos.
Sadly enough, the task is never achieved, and as you pointed out
earlier, we still have a significant room for progression. And the
design might evolve, some features introduced and so on... Who knows :)
*Re: I hope I answered your questions. If you have some interests in
taking part in the development, we are also happy to welcome you :)
Cheers and have Fun !

You did answer my questions, and again thank you!
I will seriously think about taking part in the development process
for Amarok, and or Linux Mint and KDE, what would I need to do to get
involved, and what programming languages and scripting languages would
you recommend, ,in addtion to what you have already mentioned?
If you want to help, I invite you to know about C++ and Qt, because KDE
using this a lot. You can check our projects on
https://quickgit.kde.org/ (amarok is there), and give a hand on
whatever project you like. More information can be found here
https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved
About Linux Mint, I can't tell since I'm not using it :)
Cheers and have fun!

Previous email from you on 11-09-2015:
Let me answer point by point.
First, I must say that I truly love the wonderful Amarok music
player, Thank You. I have checked a lot of music players and music
managers in Ms Windows and Linux for a long time now, and I still
think Amarok is the best one I have found. I am currently running
Linux Mint KDE 17.1 which I also think is absolutely superb.
That is what we like to hear, and I'm happy you enjoy it .
Secondly, I am having a problem when recording an Internet Streaming
station in that it will not stop "streamripper" from recording when I
click the stop recording button, even if I set a timer, even if I
exit Amarok. I have to logout, or bring up "Ksysguard" to kill the
process, or it will continue to record.
I finally found the program that controls this, which I think is Java
Script, in "/home/phil/.kde/share/apps/amarok/*main.js*". I can see
the code block on line 139 "function recStreamStop()" which should
stop "streamripper", which is not working on my system. But, I do not
know how to edit the code correctly, or what to put in there to stop
"streamripper", maybe "killall -9 streamripper", and where would I
put that? If there is some better method, or code, to do this? Please
let me know.
function recStreamStop() {
if (recording == true) {
recording = false;
timer.stop();
rectimer.stop();
callerProc.terminate();
callerProc.kill();
removeRelay();
* killall -9 streamripper*
Amarok.Window.ToolsMenu.mrecStream.enabled = true;
Amarok.Window.ToolsMenu.recRadio.enabled = true;
Amarok.Window.ToolsMenu.recWav.enabled = true;
Amarok.Window.ToolsMenu.recStop.enabled = false;
}
}
I cannot answer about this, since I've never worked on it.. Let's wait
for someone who know it.
Thirdly, it would be very cool, and functional, and super
convenient, to have the easy ability to put in multiple play and or
recording start and stop dates and times, and or daily schedules, for
individual Internet streaming stations, similar to "Kradio" 's
Alarms, or an even better easier "right click" a streaming station,
"add timer" method; and obviously the ability to manage and edit timers.
I think you can create a script to do this. This is not in our
priorities for the moment, but feel free to open a ticket on our
bugtracker to ask for enhancement. However, if you really want it, I
would rather advise you to try to play around this with the scripting
tools provided with amarok.
Here you can find some documentation about it :
https://community.kde.org/Amarok/Development/Script_API
Fourthly, it would be really nice to have a direct "single-click"
way to get to the "saved Playlists", "Amarok Database", and or
"Playlist files on disk" in an opened state (with the lists already
displayed), on the toolbar, or even a keyboard shortcut, and or maybe
one or two icons (launchers), at the top or bottom of the "current
playlist"; and having multiple playlist tabs and tab options in the
currently playing playlist would sure be great too.
This was already asked, and we all agree with you. We are currently
working a lot to port Amarok to the new Framework and to Qt5, but I

Lastly, it would be also be nice, although not essential, to have
Amarok, be able to open and play videos (ex: music videos), even if
it spawns an external media (video) player which would require a
configuration setting somewhere, maybe a plug-in, or script.
I think this will never be added... To be good in something, it's
better to focus in this something I think, and for us it's music...
Check VLC or whatever player you like.
I hope I answered your questions. If you have some interests in taking
part in the development, we are also happy to welcome you :)
Cheers and have Fun !
