Exaile cover plugin: Douban Covers

Posted on by

I have created a plugin for exaile which fetches album cover from douban.com

You can download the plugin archive from:
http://bitbucket.org/sunng/exailedoubancovers/downloads/

To install it, open exaile, click menu edit >> preference >> plugins, hit button “install plugin file”, select “doubancovers.tgz”(if you cannot find the file, just change filter to “all files”)

In some cases, the plugin could not be shown in the list at once, you can close the preference dialog and open it again, then active it.

To get album art, right click the album art icon, select “fetch cover” and wait for right cover downloaded.

The plugin is open sourced under GPL v2, you can grab the code from bitbucket using mercurial:
hg clone http://bitbucket.org/sunng/exailedoubancovers/

Some screenshots for you:

Lighttpd通过FastCGI运行web.py程序

web.py是个很小的python框架，特点就是小，连session都没有实现人家就发布了。前几天KungfuRails大会上他们吹牛说Sinatra可以写出世界上最小的Webapp，但是有web.py的化，那个最小至少要加上个“之一”。

Web.py在Lighttpd上通过fastcgi运行的配置，可以在web.py的网站上找到文档：
http://webpy.org/cookbook/fastcgi-lighttpd

实际我用的时候把静态的index.html用作首页，稍改动一下：

server.document-root = "/home/sun/projects/sdostatweb"

server.modules   += ( "mod_fastcgi" )
server.modules   += ( "mod_rewrite" )

server.port = 4000

mimetype.assign = (
    ".html" => "text/html"
)

index-file.names = ( "index.html" )

fastcgi.server = ( "/sdostatweb.py" =>
(( "socket" => "/tmp/fastcgi.socket",
        "bin-path" => "/home/sun/projects/sdostatweb/sdostatweb.py",
        "max-procs" => 5,
        "bin-environment" => (
        "REAL_SCRIPT_NAME" => ""
    ),
        "check-local" => "disable"
    ))
)

url.rewrite-once = (
    "^/$" => "/static/index.html",
    "^/flotr/(.*)$" => "/static/flotr/$1",
    "^/static/(.*)$" => "/static/$1",
    "^/(.*)$" => "/sdostatweb.py/$1",

)

另外用fastcgi的方式使用web.py，需要安装flup。

详细的事，可以看看新浪的Tim Yang的优化：

我之前真不敢相信搜狐Mail是跑在web.py上。
