Phoplay is a simple audio player written in Python3 and uses the PyQt4 Phonon library to provide playback facilities.

It can be invoked as a GUI (default) or from the commandline with or without the GUI functionality.

Running the ./build.sh script will build the QtDesigner resource file and UI for the application generated from the QtDesigner .ui file. If ./build.sh fails then check that you have PyQt4 installed and the pyrcc4 and py3uic4 are installed (they may have different names under different Linux distributions)

On opensuse platforms python-qt4-utils provides pyrcc4, python3-qt4-devel provides py3uic

A full list of commandline options can seen by invoking the application with the -h option.

On Linux, playback is dependant on GStreamer and installed plugins. As a rule of thumb, installing gstreamer-plugins-base and gstreamer-plugins-good will allow playback for things like ogg and Flac.

See http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/plugins.html for more details

PhoPlay.py - Lauch the GUI

PhoPlay.py something.flac - Launch GUI and play something.flac

PhoPlay.py -x something.mp3 - Play something.mp3 from the commandline - no GUI

Play all mp3s re-launching the application each time. Useful for playing a album in a folder.

for tune in *.mp3; do PhoPlay.py -q $tune; done;
