[Linux] First version discussion

[AlbrechtL]

I put together an archive with the TeddyBench binaries with Linux support (Tested with Ubuntu 20.04).

Download
https://github.com/AlbrechtL/teddy/releases/tag/v1.2.4-linux

When I got some feedback from you. I will open a pull request to the official teddy sources. If you found a problem open a new issue please.

As a side effect of using Linux (FFMPEG) you will be able to import audio files other than MP3.

You can find a new binaries here: https://github.com/AlbrechtL/teddy/releases/tag/v1.2.4-linux_2

I also opened a pull request here: #27

I just tried it, I followed the instructions on the modified README file and it worked great, thanks!

I also tried to compile the PR myself, but I failed miserably at that. I'm not from the .NET/Mono world so I just tried to google how to do it. I tried to use monodevelop but it's not in Debian and the repo I found is for buster, and I'm in bullseye. I tried to use xbuild as I found in the internet but I got a lot of errors then so I gave up.

I've used it a bit more and noticed it can't transcode from opus or flac files, so far I could only use mp3 or wav, is this expected? I think ffmpeg should support it.

Also, the file explorer doesn't sort files alphabetically, which is confusing. When the files are added, they are added in alphabetic order though.

[llucax]

I had some other issues, where it would close. For example, when using Ctrl-V to paste some text, either in the form to send tonies' details or renaming a tonie.

[AlbrechtL]

I also tried to compile the PR myself, but I failed miserably at that. I'm not from the .NET/Mono world so I just tried to google how to do it. I tried to use monodevelop but it's not in Debian and the repo I found is for buster, and I'm in bullseye. I tried to use xbuild as I found in the internet but I got a lot of errors then so I gave up.

I used monodevelop on Ubuntu 20.04. You can also use Visual Studio on Windows. The result should be the same. To start with .NET it is properly easier to use Windows instead of Linux.

I've used it a bit more and noticed it can't transcode from opus or flac files, so far I could only use mp3 or wav, is this expected? I think ffmpeg should support it.

Yes, because the Windows code only supports MP3. I agree that with FFMPEG also other audio formats are possible but I stopped the development at this point. A lot of conveniences features are still missing. Pull requests are welcome!

Also, the file explorer doesn't sort files alphabetically, which is confusing. When the files are added, they are added in alphabetic order though.

That is a problem in the MONO Windows Forms implementation which is a community project run by volunteers. Unfortunately it is not maintains well and has many bugs. For a good Linux support we need a GUI that is not based on Windows Forms but this is a complete rewrite of TeddyBench.

See above.

[der-eismann]

Is there any update on that? I just saw the CCC talk and was interested, however only being able to run this on Windows is a blocker for me. Seems there happened a ton of work since the Linux fork was last updated, would be great if we could get some motion in here, maybe even with a Flatpak if it works fine with mono.

[avanc]

I'm also interested in a Linux build, as TeddyCloud does only support rudimentary handling of tags.

[AlbrechtL]

@der-eismann, @avanc Did you try this version https://github.com/AlbrechtL/teddy/releases/tag/v1.2.4-linux_2? I know it is quite outdated but it should still work.

[rugk]

Upgrading/migrating to .NET Core, which supports Linux and other OSes aka is cross-platform by default, is no option?

Edit: Migration away from Windows Forms would likely be the way to go then. MAUI is the intended replacement by Microsoft as far as I see.

[Schwinni77]

Do I need the actual SD card from the box in order to see something?
Because I just tried opening the folder with the same content from the box and the window just stays empty...

[llucax]

No, when it works it should work in any folder that has the same files as the SD card.
