Musictube 1.2 released

This Musictube update fixes a critical crash bug on Linux and brings Last.fm scrobbling as previously seen in my other app, Musique.

Another small feature is desktop notification support on the Mac (requires Growl 1.2.x) and GNOME. Notifications appear only when the Musictube window is not active. There is no point displaying them when you’re already looking at Musictube.

Ubuntu users will love the Unity quicklist.

Unfortunately Ubuntu 12.04 shipped with a GStreamer bug that prevents many applications from playing MPEG4 videos. While we wait for the bug to be fixed, here’s a simple workaround.

And here’s the full changelog:

  • Last.fm scrobbling
  • Desktop notifications on Mac (Growl 2.x) and GNOME when window is not active
  • Unity & GNOME 3 actions (aka Quicklists)
  • Mac Sandbox support
  • More responsive UI while loading videos on the Mac
  • Fixed wrong localization of some menu items on the Mac
  • Fixed search box being erroneously focused on the Mac
  • Fixed crash while playing on Linux with Qt 4.8
  • Fixed playback not starting or being interrupted on Linux
  • New and updated translations

    I downloaded your app today and I love it! Good job!!
    From these hours of experience, I’d like to suggest you some features/improvements:
    – A karaoke feature would be BRILLIANT! I see this app like a great way of enjoying music with friends, singing along to the lyrics and being able to choose from a wide variety of songs, and I think the karaoke function would improve the app in this way.
    – Also, the lyrics feature is great, but it fails a bit too much, an improvement of that aspect would be great.
    – Lastly, I find the search menu a bit messy; I think a distinction between artists and albums would make it more useful. And if you could make it include non-album tracks in the search of an artist, the app would be perfect.

    Sorry for being so picky!
    Elena
