Just added tuner to the tint panel which shows the svg icon. may be you are trying something else.

Nevermind

I think he means the icon that shows in the task list while the app is running

Yes, tint2 definitely can display svg icons.
I found that the 'com.github.louis77.tuner.svg' icons are actually available in the /usr/share/icons/Papirus/apps folders for sizes 16x16 24x24 48x48 ...
Maybe add a referral in the hicolor index.theme to the Papirus icons?

So I created a fix in the repo: https://github.com/TheNiteCoder/tuner/tree/status-icon. The fix is fairly simple, I just add a systray icon that if clicked will open the window again. The only problem is the lack of systray icon is intentional as the Gtk.StatusIcon is deprecated and is removed in Gtk4. Here is a link to the thread on the gnome forums about why: https://discourse.gnome.org/t/what-to-u ... -tray/7175. The only problem we have on Xfce is the notification thing that Tuner does to replace the systray icon, doesn't seem to work with the Xfce4 Notifications Manager. I can open a pull request but I don't think the developer would want to merge this fix as it is using a deprecated feature.

Code: Select all

Depends: libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-0 (<1.15) but 1:1.14.4-dmo7 is to be installed

suggests you have installed gstreamer from the deb-multimedia repos but not the libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-0 package. Dmo packages often create this sort of dependency issue which is why we don't recommend them or include that repo in our lists.

I just successfully installed Tuner from the Test repo using MXPI in my MX19 install. I can't reproduce the aforementioned zombie issue with it. I'll have to see what is different in MX21...

Yes, when I initially upgraded from 18.3 to 19.0 Deb-multimedia repo was available in the sources list of MX and I had enabled it. Also noticed that when you fetch the multimedia codecs and associated files the script in MX tools fetches these files from deb-multimedia.org. Now in my other newer installs of MX19.3 and 19.4 Deb-multimedia is not available anymore so not enabled but this is my main work computer so do not know how to install/upgrade to the latest gstreamer and plugins without borking my system and losing my files. I would need to live without listening to world music with that app and stick to youtube for now.

hicolor is typically the lowest common denominator. I'm not having it pull from papirus. its normally the other way around.

If it was just the gstreamer packages you can use synaptic, select each gstreamer package (one at at time) and use Package -> Force version, selecting the non-dmo version of each, then when you've got them all, Apply. Tedious, but it does work.

It can also be done with aptitude.which will give you successive options of what it should do, one of which should downgrade all the gstreamer packages to 1.14.4 versions. It's seen as a downgrade because deb-multimedia added a 1: epoch to be seen as a higher version than any of the debian ones (1:1.14.4-dmo7 > 1.14.4-1).

Nice, thanks! I love the part where you say the fix is "fairly simple" ...

@Nite Coder how is that extra systray icon different from an entry in the tasklist?

pertaining tot he missing icon in the tint2 tasklist, I suspect the problem is probably more related to the app not explicitly setting an icon to be display by the window. At least, I couldn't find where it was set if it is.
