Configuration can be provided as:
|
||||
- The only cava configuration file which is provided through *cava_config*. The rest configuration can be skipped
|
||||
- Without cava configuration file. In such case cava should be configured through provided list of the configuration option
|
||||
- Mix. When provided both And cava configuration file And configuration options. In such case waybar applies configuration file first then overrides particular options by the provided list of configuration options

# SOLVING ISSUES
|
||||
|
||||
. On start Waybar throws an exception "error while loading shared libraries: libcava.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".
|
||||
It might happen when libcava for some reason hasn't been registered in the system. sudo ldconfig should help
|
||||
. Waybar is starting but cava module doesn't react on the music
|
||||
1. In such case for at first need to make sure usual cava application is working as well
|
||||
2. If so, need to comment all configuration options. Uncomment cava_config and provide the path to the working cava config
|
||||
3. You might set too huge or too small input_delay. Try to setup to 4 seconds, restart waybar and check again 4 seconds past. Usual even on weak machines it should be enough
|
||||
4. You might accidentally switched action mode to pause mode
|
||||
|
||||
# RISING ISSUES
|
||||
|
||||
For clear understanding: this module is a cava API's consumer. So for any bugs related to cava engine you should contact to Cava upstream(https://github.com/karlstav/cava) ++
|
||||
with the one Exception. Cava upstream doesn't provide cava as a shared library. For that this module author made a fork libcava(https://github.com/LukashonakV/cava). ++
|
||||
So the order is:
|
||||
. cava upstream
|
||||
. libcava upstream.
|
||||
In case when cava releases new version and you're wanna get it, it should be raised an issue to libcava(https://github.com/LukashonakV/cava) with title ++
|
||||
\[Bump\]x.x.x where x.x.x is cava release version.
