Tomahawk, because it imitate the look and feel of iTunes, which make the switch to KaOS for iTunes users more easy and attractive. 🙂

Sayonara...

However, Yarock has a great fandom, so any of those would be great.

Tomahawk looks a lot like iTunes, so, at least for me, no...

My favorite player is the Quod Libet. I managed to install on KaOS, works, but really was not cool.
It's the program I miss most after I came to the KaOS.

Installing Yarock via KCM fails on my KaOS telling me that Pacman could not find a dependancy: "htmlcxx".
About Tomahawk, it is neither in the deposits, or in KCM.

Could experienced someone update the Yarock KCM package and add a Tomahawk package, so that we can test these musicplayers?

    Sayonara. In a previous kde distro I tried, tomahawk didn't work. In the meantime I'm glad clementine is in the repo in brand-spanking new Qt5.7

    onizou Yarock is on kcp. Pacman gives you that fail because you need to install from kcp (not kcm) the package htmlcxx. Install it with:

    kcp -i htmlcxx

    And after that, this:

    kcp -i yarock

      This whole thread is about adding a new player to the repo, so ofc none of the ones mentioned in the first post are in.....
      Make sure you do read what kaOS is (see the Home page and About), repos are limited, there will never be more then 2000-2200 packages available, so dozens of just music players is not an option here. This does not mean you don't already have a good selection of players. More then 10 are currently up, including mplayer & MPV as cli driven, to the defaults smplayer & cantata, to kodi, kaffeine, dragonplayer, qmmp, vlc, clementine and plasma-mediacenter.

      If you do want to add some yourself make sure you understand what it means to build and maintain packages by reading https://kaosx.us/docs/package/ and https://kaosx.us/docs/kcp/

      New users who clearly do not know what it means to use KCP never should just blindly use kcp -i.
      Always point them to the 2 guides (linked above) 🙂
      Once those are read, kcp -i is explained too. When and how to use.

        loopset demm Thanks for these informations. I know that KCP is equivalent to KaOS than AUR for Archlinux. And I understood that KaOS has a limited number of packages in its repositories and the subject of this discussion is to determine which among those mentioned audio player may be added. I do not wonder that all these audio players are added to the main deposits, but if, as in Sayonara and Yarock, someone could create a KCP package for Tomahawk, even temporarily for the time of the discussion, that everyone can easily install them and give its opinion.

        I'm not good in English and therefore uses Google Translate. I'd better reread the text it produces.

        When I demanded a Tomahahk package, along with an update of Yarock KCP package, I was talking of course of a KCP package.

        When I realized the inaccuracy, I could not edit my message because someone wrote a message after me. 🙁

        Edit : I really have no luck. I have a compilation error for the Yarock KCP package: https://goo.gl/biXAWh 🙁

        Please open a new thread for help with KCP, this thread is about a poll. KCP has no packages, it contains files to help you build a package.
