Description: This servicemenu adds different kinds of audio and video files to your noatun playlist.
Install: Extract the archive to a directory and In order to install for everyone $ su $ ./install.sh -a
to install for current user: $ ./install.sh
To uninstall for all users: $ su $ ./uninstall.sh -a
and to uninstall for current user $ ./uninstall.shLast changelog:
version 0.3.1: - Some fixes in installer - Automatic play for a single file when noatun is not running
version 0.3: - Creating an installer and uninstaller - Adding support for wmv, wma, mpeg, avi files - Noatun will be automatically started in cases when it is not running
version 0.2: Adding support for adding all the content of a directory containing mp3 or wav or ogg files.
but, please add few more functionalities:
1. Capability to add folders (search the selected folder for music files and then append it to the Noatun)
2. Not only mp3 files but others as well. e.g. wav, ape, wma, flac etc.
Thank you for adding more supports. This is a little but quite useful utility. I checked and it is working great (well, it provides a replacement of "play folder with Winamp" in Windows). This is going great but I still have few more suggestions:
1. The play list is added only of the Noatun is running. If it is possible, please add a support even if the Noatun is currently not running. By adding new files to the playlist, the Noatun should start automatically and start playing the newly added files.
2. Although the support is currently for mp3, ogg, and wave files, please add supports for media types which is supported my Noatun (including video-file like .avi)
3. The file-types are checked based on the extension of the file-name. For example, if I rename abcd.wma to abcd.mp3, right click gives an option "add to noatun". It would be better if you do the file-type checking based on meta-data, rather than its extension.
and at last,
4. Installation for everyone (i.e. putting the file addtonoatunplaylist.sh should be put to somewhere in $PATH e.g. /usr/local/bin with permission 755 and the AddToNoatunPlaylist.desktop file to /usr/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus). I did it after modifying the AddToNoatunPlaylist.desktop a little, but please add it natively.
Thank you.
I think your application will become damn useful to everyone if you add the aforementioned functionalities.
Please keep the good work up.
good luck!!

Your suggestions are very good! I'm gonna add them ASAP! Thanks for your nice feedback :)
There is something about noatun! It plays files based on their extension. so when one changes the file extemsion noatun will not play the file!
