Windows Notes
=============
We're excited to announce that Exaile has official support for Windows
platforms as of version 3.3.0, and is distributed in an official installer
program.
Exaile (and its installer) has been tested on:
* Windows 7 x64 SP1
* Windows 8.1
* Windows 10
* Python 2.7.10 (32-bit and 64-bit)
* PyGObject 3.14 + GTK+ 3.14
* GStreamer 1.4.5
Exaile now requires GStreamer 1.x and GTK3. The best way to install these
requirements on Windows is using the "All-In-One PyGI/PyGObject for Windows
Installer", at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pygobjectwin32/
When using the all-in-one installer, you must select the following options:
* GTK 3.x
* GStreamer 1.4.5
* The gst-plugins options you desire (recommend installing them all)
Running Exaile
--------------
If you installed exaile using the Windows installer, you can find icons to
launch Exaile in the Start Menu under "All Programs" -> "Exaile".
Alternatively, you can directly launch "exaile_win.py".
Exaile DirectSound plugin (libgstexailedirectsoundsink.dll)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Exaile currently includes a custom DirectSound GST plugin that is compiled
against gst-plugins-good 1.4.5 using mingw32/64.
The reason a custom plugin is included with Exaile is because GST mainline
does not currently support selecting the audio output for the DirectSound
plugin. Another project created a patch to add this functionality, and
you can find the bug at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=584980
The plugin is LGPL, and our modifications to the GST source are in
tools\win-installer\directsound.patch
If you do not wish to use the Exaile directsound plugin, you can change
the audiosink in Preferences->Playback
Bug Reporting
-------------
If exaile crashes, you should be able to find a logfile from the last time
exaile was launched in the following directories::
Windows XP: %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\exaile\logs
Windows 7+: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\exaile\logs
If you run into any bugs not mentioned in this document, please report them
to us via github at https://github.com/exaile/exaile/issues . Please include any
relevant logfile snippets.
