This looks really awesome, but it isn't working for me. I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 with KDE4. I use a bluetooth speaker so it is nice to be able to access the volume of the devices quickly. Thanks

Any chance to ge this on Plasma 5?

nik3nt3

No: Plasma 5 does not support python plasmoids. And I dont want to start from scratch e.g. rewrite everything in javascript/qtquick.

Why not to make in a standalone app for systray just like Kmix?

Very nice but occasionally locks up with 100% load on a single CPU core. Maybe one reboot in twenty. I'm using version 0.18.3-1 from the Ubuntu 14.04 repository. Is there debug code or something that I could add to let me figure out what it's doing if it locks up again?

Thank you very much !

I am using Veromix on Awesome WM. I have to say great piece of sound software. Needless to see I have been looking for something like this for awhile now.

I'm using Kubuntu 12.04 LTS with KDE ppa backports, and I'm glad to use veromix. Just found 3 minor issues: 1 - after resume from suspend, the icon on systray got frozen, and is no more updated. 2 - I opened a VirtualBox VM and then switch to host to increase the volume on veromix: the tooltip stopped to be refreshed too (got frozen too). 3 - The "Apply" button in the veromix settings is always disabled.

i have found the same issues. the sistray icon is frozen also at startup, i have to disable and re-enable veromix, but sometimes it makes plasma crash

It works after [code]yum install telepathy-glib[/code] Hope it helps

Hi, thanks for this. Its very nice except that its quite hard to use it on a high resolution screen with high DPI. Here's a screenshot: http://wstaw.org/m/2012/11/18/plasma-desktopW24626.png

I forgot to mention it, but since I have had to change the package name for AUR, the link is also changed, it is now https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=60883 Cheers, Tom

nik3nt3

get this error : could not create a python scriptengine for the vermix widget

nik3nt3

This happens on almost every KDE update (very annoying) - please report this to your KDE packager... This has nothing todo with veromix (no python plasmoid will work - check gmail-plasmoid)

step-2

VeromixServiceMain file is missing in package after installing the plasmoid successfully: ~/.kde4/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/veromix-plasmoid/dbus-service/VeromixServiceMain.py So nothing is working. Strange, the file is missing in git, too... :(

nik3nt3

No the file is not missing it was just renamed to: veromix-service-qt.py (will update the wiki soon).

nik3nt3

You were right: The whole folder was missing. Uploaded a new fixed version. /nik

Archlinux upgraded pulseaudio to version 2. Now Veromix don't work.

cyberconan

I reinstalled Veromix from AUR repo and now works again with pulseaudio 2.0.

nik3nt3

thx for the update.
