\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For Ubuntu 23.04, Fedora 38 and other Linux with Python 3.11 as default, Pithos 1.6.1 was released today to fix the plugin support!<\/b><\/p>\n

Pithos<\/a> is a simple free open-source GTK client for Pandora music & podcasts, writing in Python programming language.<\/p>\n

The previous versions lack plugin support for the latest Linux Distributions due to Python 3.11. When you try to open the ‘Plugins’ tab in Preferences, it just shows a blank page.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you start it from command line, it will output something look like:<\/p>\n

Traceback (most recent call last):\r\n  File \"\/usr\/share\/pithos\/pithos\/plugin.py\", line 147, in on_got_bus\r\n    plugin = plugins[name] = load_plugin(name, window, bus)\r\n                             \r\n  File \"\/usr\/share\/pithos\/pithos\/plugin.py\", line 101, in load_plugin\r\n    module = __import__('pithos.plugins.' + name)\r\n             \r\n  File \"\/usr\/share\/pithos\/pithos\/plugins\/mpris.py\", line 66, in \r\n    class PithosMprisService(DBusServiceObject):\r\n  File \"\/usr\/share\/pithos\/pithos\/plugins\/mpris.py\", line 647, in PithosMprisService\r\n    @dbus_method(MEDIA_PLAYER2_IFACE)\r\n     \r\n  File \"\/usr\/share\/pithos\/pithos\/plugins\/dbus_util\/DBusServiceObject.py\", line 138, in decorator\r\n    in_args = _create_arginfo_list(func, in_signature)\r\n              \r\n  File \"\/usr\/share\/pithos\/pithos\/plugins\/dbus_util\/DBusServiceObject.py\", line 123, in _create_arginfo_list\r\n    arg_names = inspect.getargspec(func).args\r\n<\/pre>\n
To fix the issue, the new 1.6.1 was released. Which, also fixed the issue that very short songs are being labeled as advertisements<\/i>. <\/p>\n
Nothing else!<\/p>\n
How to Install Pithos 1.6.1 in Ubuntu via PPA<\/h3>\n
For all current Ubuntu releases, including Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 22.10, Ubuntu 23.04, and their based systems, I’ve uploaded the app package into this PPA repository<\/a>.<\/p>\n
To add the PPA and install Pithos package, do:<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. First, press Ctrl+Alt+T<\/b> key combination on keyboard to open terminal. When it opens, run the command below to add the PPA:\n
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1\/apps<\/pre>\n
    Type user password when it asks (no asterisk feedback) and hit Enter to continue.<\/i><\/p>\n
    \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Then, run command to fresh the package cache for old Ubuntu 18.04 and Linux Mint:\n
    sudo apt update<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
  3. Finally, install or update the lightweight Pandora Radio client to listen online music:\n
    sudo apt install pithos<\/pre>\n
    \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    As the application does not update frequently, you may also download & install the .deb package directly from this page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
    For most Linux, Pithos is also available to install as Flatpak package<\/a> runs in sandbox.<\/p>\n
    Uninstall Pithos<\/h3>\n
    To remove the Ubuntu PPA, open terminal and run command:<\/p>\n
    sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:ubuntuhandbook1\/apps<\/pre>\n
    Or, open ‘Software & Updates’ utility and remove the source line under ‘Other Software’ tab.<\/p>\n
    To remove Pithos, use command:<\/p>\n
    sudo apt remove --autoremove pithos<\/pre>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
