Buffering

[NitinJadhav00]

I've installed ruurd yesterday logged in with Spotify but unable to play even a single song it keeps buffering forever
tried re installing it, still doesn't work
version: 6.8.3

I can help possibly fix this only if you can get this error when in development mode. I'm assuming you're using Windows btw.
To do this, you must have Node and Git installed, and type the following in a terminal

1. clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/ruurdbijlsma/Music
2. cd Music
3. npm install
4. npm run dev

This will open the application in development mode, and you will see a log in the terminal. When you play a song and it keeps buffering now it should show an error in the terminal. You can send this error to me via text or a screenshot and I can try to fix it.

when i clone the repo it says
destination path 'Music' already exists and is not an empty directory

[RuurdBijlsma]

you'll have to run the commands in the different folder, since the Music folder already exists where you're doing it. Change directory by doing cd NewDirectory where you fill in NewDirectory

For example, if you're in the user folder, do cd Documents to get in your documents folder, then do the commands i listed

Thanks for the Help, its working now, there is little buffer before starting the song hope it will be resolved in later updates.
but still local hosted app isn't working, I have to open it into dev mode to work properly
Edit: Local host is also working properly, you may close the thread now
Edit 2: Only downloaded songs (from dev more can be played in local host and also I am unable to download songs

I updated the application, that may have fixed it to work outside of dev mode. Could you try that?

[NitinJadhav00]

I tried that, still nothing seems to be changed.

[RuurdBijlsma]

it should output logs to a file now where i can find the error while not in dev mode. So run the application normally, get the error, then send me your log file from C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\ruurd-music\logs\main.log

[RuurdBijlsma]

I may have fix it if you have the same error someone else had, try the latest release to see if it's fixed https://github.com/RuurdBijlsma/Music/releases/tag/v6.9.0

[NitinJadhav00]

Application is running normally now, But songs are getting downloaded on my system before playing

[RuurdBijlsma]

yep that's how it works

[NitinJadhav00]

Cool, Hope in further updates they will be streamed directly. looking forward for this project.
great work!!

[RuurdBijlsma]

thanks but they won't. I could add an option that it doesn't go to your music folder, but to a folder of your choosing but that's it
