<div>I have contacted the developer of the "RecordStream"
script, and filed a bug report, and now I am in a "wait and
see what happens" mode. You seem to indicate that you are
doing something on your end as well, if that is so, please
keep me posted. Although I am not familiar with "Javascript"
yet, I am trying some various code to see if I can get it to
stop recording an Internet stream (stop "streamripper"), and
I'll let you know if it works.<br>
</div>
</div>

That was the thing to do. About what I'm currently doing: I'm
contributing to the porting of Amarok to the KDE Framework and
Plasma. It's a huge amount of work, but it's slowly catching up.<br>

Go on bugs.kde.org, check amarok and see if the bug is already
there. Also I keep this in mind, for when I'll be done with my
current occupation on Amarok. <br>

<div>I do agree that to be really great at anything requires
focusing on that, but after you have completed that task,
then you can add even more things to be great at to your
skill set, or a program's feature set. It was just a thought
because of music videos.<br>

Sadly enough, the task is never achieved, and as you pointed out
earlier, we still have a significant room for progression. And the
design might evolve, some features introduced and so on... Who knows
:)<br>

<div>You did answer my questions, and again thank you! <br>
I will seriously think about taking part in the development
process for Amarok, and or Linux Mint and KDE, what would I
need to do to get involved, and what programming languages
and scripting languages would you recommend, ,in addtion to
what you have already mentioned? <br>

<br>
If you want to help, I invite you to know about C++ and Qt, because
KDE using this a lot. You can check our projects on
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://quickgit.kde.org/">https://quickgit.kde.org/</a> (amarok is there), and give a hand on
whatever project you like. More information can be found here

About Linux Mint, I can't tell since I'm not using it :)<br>
<br>

<div>First, I must say that I truly love the wonderful
Amarok music player, Thank You. I have checked a lot
of music players and music managers in Ms Windows and
Linux for a long time now, and I still think Amarok is
the best one I have found. I am currently running
Linux Mint KDE 17.1 which I also think is absolutely
superb.<br>

</div>

That is what we like to hear, and I'm happy you enjoy it .<br>
<blockquote type="cite">
<div dir="ltr">Secondly, I am having a problem when
recording an Internet Streaming station in that it will
not stop "streamripper" from recording when I click the
stop recording button, even if I set a timer, even if I
exit Amarok. I have to logout, or bring up "Ksysguard"
to kill the process, or it will continue to record.<br>
<div>
<div><br>
I finally found the program that controls this,
which I think is Java Script, in
"/home/phil/.kde/share/apps/amarok/<b>main.js</b>".
I can see the code block on line 139 "function
recStreamStop()" which should stop "streamripper",
which is not working on my system. But, I do not
know how to edit the code correctly, or what to put
in there to stop "streamripper", maybe "killall -9
streamripper", and where would I put that? If there
is some better method, or code, to do this? Please
let me know.<br>
<br>
<span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,0)">function
recStreamStop() {<br>

removeRelay();<br>

<div>Thirdly, it would be very cool, and functional,
and super convenient, to have the easy ability to
put in multiple play and or recording start and stop
dates and times, and or daily schedules, for
individual Internet streaming stations, similar to
"Kradio" 's Alarms, or an even better easier "right
click" a streaming station, "add timer" method; and
obviously the ability to manage and edit timers. <br>

I think you can create a script to do this. This is not in
our priorities for the moment, but feel free to open a
ticket on our bugtracker to ask for enhancement. However, if
you really want it, I would rather advise you to try to play
around this with the scripting tools provided with amarok.<br>
<br>
Here you can find some documentation about it : <br>
