I can't seek through MP3sThe MP3 decoder in gstreamer's ffmpeg plugin doesn't support seeking through MP3s, you should install the one in gstreamer's ugly plugins package instead. Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly Fedora: su -c "yum install gstreamer-plugins-ugly" Nothing else can play sound while Clementine is runningMake sure you have pulseaudio and gstreamer's pulseaudio plugin installed. Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install pulseaudio gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio Fedora: su -c "yum install pulseaudio gstreamer-plugins-good" I can't play MP3s in openSUSEopenSUSE's gstreamer0_10-plugins-ugly package is incomplete, and doesn't contain any mp3 codecs. You should add the Packman repository (instructions on the openSUSE website) and install the gstreamer0_10-fluendo-mp3 package. I get a missing dependency on gstreamer0.10(decoder-audio/mpeg)(mpegversion=1)(layer=3) on FedoraFedora doesn't come with MP3 support built-in. You need to add the rpmfusion repositories and install gstreamer-plugins-ugly as explained in the unofficial FAQ. Why doesn't Clementine use MySQL?Clementine uses sqlite to store metadata for the songs in your library, as well as your playlists and devices. We've found that sqlite provides great performance even on huge libraries (300,000+ songs), and Clementine uses the fts plugin to make searching even faster. We see no benefit in supporting other database backends as well as or instead of sqlite, and it would make the code much more complicated and difficult to maintain. Why doesn't Clementine use Phonon/VLC/Xine/MyFavouriteSoundEngine?GStreamer is the only audio backend we have found that supports our featureset. Phonon
VLC
Xine
Where is Clementine's database?Clementine stores all the information about your library in its sqlite database. This is in a different place depending on what operating system you use:

I could not find an IRC/Jabber for this project, and Google says the group's discuss is not available for now, so I'll ask here. I was wondering if some features were planned :
Theses features are lacking or are incomplete in every other Linux media player that I know of (audacious2 beeing the closest to this). Alas, wine+foobar is still the best high-end player for Linux. I hope clementine will be a serious contendant.
Gapless playback is supported and working in svn already. Clementine will play whatever lossless formats you have gstreamer plugins for. FLAC and wavpack are definitely supported, I'm not sure about ape/mac. Cuesheets are planned: http://code.google.com/p/clementine-player/issues/detail?id=68 and so are tabbed playlists: http://code.google.com/p/clementine-player/issues/detail?id=33
For clementine support in Konversation's /media command, see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1504677
For clementine support on emesene's currentSong plugin, goto http://forum.emesene.org/index.php/topic,3482.0.html
Using system plugins is a PITA and we won't do it.
Will rating of songs be possible?
You want "Automatically copy files from disk to your music library" as a new feature. Will there be a function to disable it? Because this is the reason why I switched to clementine!
I would like to know name of Ubuntu's theme on screenshot. Thanks.
yurik81: The theme in the screenshots is Equinox Light
For openSUSE 11.3 You need to install from packman: gstreamer-0_10-fluendo-mp3 gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ugly liborc0_4-0
Hi!
¿Is it posible to import databases from amarok (2.3 and/or 1.4.x) to Clementine?
Hello,
Is there anyway to make mp3 inside a folder named with asian characters to be played ? It seems Clementine don't search inside such folders, as they don't show up in the library. Thanks for your work !
Congratulations guys,
It works out so very much fine in Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat that I decided to take Rhythmbox apart and Clementine works quite good with my iphone as well.
You have done a great job!!

I got issues with playing from Clementine on a very slow netbook. MP3s where on a USD disk that was dmcrypted. Playback sometimes paused for 5 to 15 seconds. I know the processor is to blame but I would really appreciate a feature called "load whole song to memory on song start".
Do anyone know of a plugin that supports integration of clementine with Empathy and pidgin messenge? like in rhythmbox, I think that's the only thing that's left to kick-out rhythmbox out gnome.
John, I think that plugin gets it's info from dbus.
I left a suggestion in groups too requesting an easy way to get cumulative file size of selected tracks. It seems like it could be simple to do and very useful.
"GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in." I am getting this error on some mp3 songs which can be easily played through other media players like vlc, movie player etc! Is there anything that could be done to cure this?
mera.9: What OS? Is it all mp3s or only some?
The solution for preventing Clementine from blocking audio from other applications is to use Pulseaudio? I have ALSA and dmix (which has been enabled by default for ages); installing yet another abstraction layer over ALSA seems like a poor solution.
Is it possible to compile clementine excluding some visualizations? If it is How?
Hello, about icon.
What meaning of Clementine name is ? Is fix to citrus fruit ? Or some different possible ? Because of citrus clementine icon somehow is boring. I can provide better icon but must know template or idea ! How about put wiki page with ideas ?
