Introduction:

RhythmCat2 is a music player which can be used under Linux. It is not only a

normal music player, it has both command-line interface and graphic user

interface, and it can extend its features by plug-ins, like lyric show

in window, desktop lyric show, etc... The GTK+ UI can use custom GTK+ 3

themes, and the UI layout can be customed partially.

Since this project in just in experimental stage, only GTK+ UI frontend has

been implemented.

Developing platform:

    gtk+-3.0(>=3.4) gtk-doc-tools(>=1.18) gstreamer-0.10 (>=0.10.31)

    gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10 (>=0.10.31)

    gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10 (>=0.10.31)

    

Suggest Libraries: gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10 gstreamer-plugins-ugly-0.10

It is possible to support plug-in written in Python3 if installed Python3

development packages and enabled Python3 plug-in support argument in configure.

that the compilation needed: 

sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool libgtk-3-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev \

    libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev gtk-doc-tools

If you want to compile Python3 loader and use Python3 plug-ins, install

If you want to play MP3 or other Restricted Audio Format, please install

GStreamer Bad & Ugly plug-ins. In Debian/Ubuntu, you can just run:

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly

Then you can try to compile it:

./configure --with-native-plugins --with-python3-plugins

make

sudo make install
