From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hi. I recently published my app on Flathub and have been steadily updating it to make it better.

With it you can download Music from Youtube and tag it to create a beautiful collection of local Music. Check it out: https://flathub.org/apps/net.fhannenheim.musicfetch

Thank you very much! You are amazing.

I am trying to use it, but when I download the music, nothing shows up in my music directory. I read the logs and saw that it is trying to move the downloads to ~/Music. I don’t have that directory, in my localization, it is ~/Música. I tried creating a symlink, but it did not work. Is there any way to fix this? I can share the logs if you want

Hmm. You can set the Download directory in the settings, by clicking on the settings button on the top left.

I didn't anticipate Localized Music directory names

You should check the XDG_MUSIC_DIR environment variable. Most distros have it as a path to the users music folder.

It doesn't seem to be set in the Flatpak container. Also .config/user-dirs.dirs is inaccessible.

I'll probably have to request access to that file

[–] Katzenmann@feddit.org 5 points 13 hours ago

Okay I've now pushed an update that fixes this issue.

[–] LordeMostarda@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 16 hours ago

Thanks it worked, great app!

I had similar problems where the logs say it moved the file to my Music directory, but the directory was empty. I made multiple attempts using different directories and making sure the app has permissions with flatseal, but no luck.

It seems like a nice app though, I'm gonna keep an eye on it!

On the download done page there is a button on top with a directory icon, which opens the files in a file manager. Can you please try again and click it and tell me where the files have been downloaded to? That may be a mistake on my part

Congratz on the publishing. :-)

Cool! I don't really understand the focus on music as you're probably better off using soulseek to find it, but I'm sure there's people who will appreciate this.

[–] Katzenmann@feddit.org 2 points 22 hours ago

Well I'm not really an audophile and on soulseek you mostly get FLACs which are bigger in size. My Music directory is already 10Gb and I'm happy with it being mostly opus which sounds good enough for me
