Support for notification daemon
Is it possible to implement a system to send a notification after the timer counts to zero using notification daemon like dunst. Also is the program suppose to play a sound when the timer finishes?
Program is supposed to play a sound. Although there is a change to make it optional happening already. 🤗
I'm not sure about the dunst. Can you explain what kind of advantages we have for using it?
The sound is not working in my case. Is there any further need for configuration to get the sound working after installing with
pip install pydoro[audio]
A use case of a dunst like notification is when someone would like a visual notification instead of a aural notification in case of silent environment like a library. If one wants to switch off the sound, he would require some visual information of when the timer finishes in case the TUI is in a different workspace.
What is the OS / Python version you are using? dunst sound like an interesting idea.
OS: Arch Linux (5.3.8-arch1-1 kernel) with i3 window manager Python Version: 3.7.4
Probably some issue is happening that's silenced 😢 will need to figure out a way to troubleshoot audio. One way to do it by default supress errors and have a custom parameter to test audio and exit.
Can you try manually installing PyGObject. https://pygobject.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html#arch-logo-arch-linux Better way to do is add a pacman package that install these for you. That require too much work that I don't have time for 😭
The sound issue is solved. It was probably a dependency issue of GStreamers. Installing the gst-plugins-bad package from arch repository installed the following packages
sdl libdv mjpegtools chromaprint celt libdca libofa libsrtp rtmpdump libmpeg2 ladspa libfdk-aac soundtouch spandsp neon libdc1394 zvbi libbs2b gssdp gupnp gupnp-igd libnice srt raptor liblrdf zbar aalib gst-plugins-good gst-plugins-bad
which seems to fixed it. I am listing the packages in case it might help you to troubleshoot sound issue with linux. Thanks for the help
