Noise: eOS Player Comes to ArchLinux

Noise, the project's audio player eOS (aka ElementaryOS) hits the repositories Community de ArchLinux.

Noise

Unfortunately, as it happens in its own Desktop Environment, it is still a very unstable application and the integration with Qt leaves a lot to be desired (note the playback control).

Another problem I found is that since in eOS the player keeps running in the background and is controlled by the sound icon in the systray, I had to close it with a:

$ killall noise

Outside of those details, the application does what it has to do, but for some reason in Covers mode it did not load any of them.

Consumption is really very low so to be fair I would have to try Noise in a GTK Environment.

If you want to try it, you already know:

$ sudo pacman -S noise

Now it only remains that they also add to Plank * _ *

Update: They already added Plank in Community too… Yupiii

    Synchronization with the music folder never worked in my case, and even less did I use the covers, even in eOS Luna.

    Clementine is the light, I can hear what I have on GDrive and Grooveshark. Besides it has the fabulous Nyanalizer Cat. (Nyan nyan nyan: 3)

    As soon as he's a little more stable I'll give him a chance to see if I like him better than my Clementine 🙂

      I really doubt it. The integration in KDE is lousy.

        It is evident, it is programmed in vala and GTK3 ... also it has been some time that new features have not been developed, the elementary community is getting bigger but in terms of user not developers, unfortunately the main developer of noise (fork of beatbox) stopped developing new features since mid-2012, although I have not checked the official repo for a while, I used to translate and report bugs in this player.

        In kde, it doesn't look better than using a rhythmbox or banshee xd .. just awful.

    I think the habit of using Amarok has made me resist the charm of using this eOS music player.

    In fact in EOS it can be closed with the combination "CTRL + Q". It would be necessary to test if Arch works the same.

    Greetings and for IOS it works without problems!

    In Manjaro I am using the Xnoise player, which is very similar to this Noise, and the truth is that it seems very good to me, although it has some things to improve, it has a very good idea with a fairly active development.

      Well, the gnome music that gnome 3.10 now brings is also very good.

    In Elementary OS, adding that it is the only bug I have found, it closes unexpectedly, the libraries duplicate them or it does not "load" them as in Clementine. But the interface is beautiful like almost everything in E OS. I'm going to give them time to fix it. Meanwhile, Clementine.

    if Amarok and Clementine exist, that noise doesn't exist.

    I'm going to see if I can compile noise

    How weird what they say about noise problems in eOS, it only gave me problems in the versions before the betas, because since the betas that have never found problems, everything works well for me in fact I love the player

    for me there is no way to give the Amarok, but for tastes and colors xD http://i.imgur.com/2fWl02P.jpg
