First click after starting the app doesn't start the station

[mohamedsakhri]

After starting the app when you click on a station the miniplayer appears but it doesn't start playing. You should click a second time to play the station.
This behaviour happens only after you start the application.
I think this is a bug.

Uhmm the mini player should be disabled because it is too buggy. Do you have the mini player icon in the headerbar?

[mohamedsakhri]

In the headerbar? Can you attach a screenshot showing what you mean..

Well the behaviour is not only about mini player.. just follow this steps:

1. start the app
2. click on a station ( =>it doesn't start playing)
3. click on it again ( => it starts playing)

I can confirm this bug.
Takes two clicks on a station to start playing, must be something in latest commits because it used to work with one click few days ago.
btw I don't know what headerbar is nor mini player.

[mohamedsakhri]

I don't know what is headerbar neither!
Miniplayer, as I understand, is the station's player in the bottom. It is marked in the screenshot..

[kopr12]

What is then main player, I mean non-MiniPlayer , or the other player (whatever it's called) beside mini player ?

[mohamedsakhri]

I'm not sure but I think it's the one involved when you click on a station, also the station's item itself. In the "old" design it was as a popup..

@haecker-felix Should now better :)

[kopr12]

I liked the old design better :)

[mohamedsakhri]

I'm sure there is much to improve in the design. Maybe a brainstorming topic about it can help collecting some ideas..

[kopr12]

At least he can add tooltips for each button which would describe what each button would do, took me a long time to figure out how to add stations and remove them in this new design, that button on the bottom with star icon on it was doing that, but somehow I wasn't expecting that, used to be + / - button in the old design.

It's not that this new design is bad, but it's very confusing.
I told him in other topic how to add tooltips for one button, I can do that for him for the whole app and make a commit, but why bother if he decides all of the sudden to remove it and go with something completely new :)

He's totally unpredictable, for example I can fix this double click bug but I don't even look at the code anymore precisely because of that reason, he might re-design the whole thing tomorrow, so there's no point :)

[mohamedsakhri]

I see what you are talking about. It's basically a one person project, so the lack of planning on a long term and unpredictability are maybe okay, at least for him..

A roadmap for the next steps, more documentation would be however very helpful to get more people involved :)

[kopr12]

Agreed.

Good morning. I was a bit confused, because i named a other widget "mini player". This what you mean that is the player toolbar. Now is the bug a bit more clear to me. The headerbar is the top bar with discover/library.

Yeah the old design was better in some points, but the New design isn't finished and i have many ideas to improve it (like right click menu).

I'll add tooltips! Sorry I haven't time yet. Since yesterday i started my new full time shop, so i'm a bit busy now.

Yeah i admit i often completely redesign things. Sorry :/. The 4.1 release should squash many bugs and improve the data backend. The current backend is horrible and buggy, so i rewrite many things within the time.

The documentation is also missing... English isn't my main language, so it is a bit hard for me to write longer texts.

@kajzersoze if you want add new features / fix bugs, feel free to ask me. Than i can say you if i'm currently rewriting the whole code base or not :). The situation should be better with the 5.0 release.

[mohamedsakhri]

You could write the documentation in your main language. I think it's German, isn't it? There will be people who can help translate it or at least use a translator to translate it for themselves if they want to understand the app's structure and get involved...

[haecker-felix]

sorry for delayed answer.
I think the best idea for me is, making more comments in the code, which explains what the function does.
