- Run
./update_library.pywhich may take a while. - Run
./player.py. - Enjoy.
Play randomly selected albums from start to finish, ignoring tracks that have been played or skipped this round.
Toggle with the a key at runtime and/or start the player in album mode with --albums.
If for some reason you don't want the player to update statistics in the library,
run with --passive, this is probably only useful if you are testing something.
Album Mode will play one track forever in passive mode as it relies on track statistics.
If you come across a track which has problems (skipping audio, distortion, doesn't finish playing...)
press p to skip it and write a message to the player log flagging the track as problematic.
Find these messages later by searching for PROBLEM in the log file, e.g. grep PROBLEM ssp.log.
