Zigbert,
I thought I was replying to a question. However that question no longer appears to be in this thread? Hum?
Anyway it's an old school thing. A rule I learned many years ago under Unix. If the variable isn't defined the script gets confused and the field basically becomes a blank.
Another old trick was to force something to be there like:
if [ "X${var}" = "Xtestword" ] then
If var is blank or not defined X would still be there at the beginning. However the match string would also require X as in Xtestword.
Thanks.

01miko,
The install of pcdlite works OK.
When trying to run pcdlite the screen fills with messages about file
/root/.pcdlite/tmp/pcd-cddb missing.
After looking in the folder I copied pcdlite-cddb to pcd-cddb
then the program started however as the tracks were clicked
through there was no audio.
Also, why does pcdlite try and connect to the internet?? Is this
necessary?
Thanks

Hello Kenny-M
Hmmm,
Funny that pcd-cddb thing you mention, I must have missed it, however I have it working on my really old box as mentioned.
I was experimenting with what I could take out of pCD to get it to run on that old thing. The problem seemed to be gtk slowing things down so I only removed what was necessary to get it to run without stutter. The code is entirely based on pCD and I haven't really spent much time on getting it chopped down further. Of course, with no tracks displaying, there is no need for internet stuff. However I may make use of it. The tmp files generated are needed anyway and the code accessing the net is minimal.
Thanks for your interest and if you have any suggestions post in that thread. Much appreciated. I am far from great with bash!
Cheers

A bug. ">>>>>pCD<<<<<<" (a marker?) is not getting echoed to ~/.pcd/tmp/pcd-playing. However the next line echo 100 >> $WORKDIR/pcd-playing is showing up. Consequently there is a problem showing the song which is playing. This seems very strange. I don't know if this is the problem but the progress bar displays incorrectly when you switch tracks, say you get sick of track 1 and play track 5. Is it the call in /usr/local/pcd ?
Everything else seems fine, nice tooltips
Cheers

Er, this isn't really the thread for pcdlite. If you downloaded it you will find it again . There is a new version, thanks to your post, take a look.Kenny-M wrote: Is this snoopware?
Thanks.
Ah what the hay, I'll make it easy for you...pcdlite thread

Testing now, and Black Sabbaths songs show up in the progressbar here, can you be more specific???????????01micko wrote:A bug.

It occurs when you highlight a track and play it. If you leave it alone it is ok.

I just did a test with pCD-0.8 on the same system and it all works as expected, at first, but if you switch around different tracks too much it gets stuck. Is it timing, waiting for the call to the pids? I didn't test 0.9 much because I was playing with my old box. I imagine 0.9 was similar. Just to clarify, I initially discovered this behaviour in pCD-1.0.
My other query... Is the echo ">>>>>>>>pCd<<<<<<<<" > $WORKDIR/pcd-playing line even needed now? We are autoplaying the first track, so it never gets seen.

Ok, Just tested in 4.2.1 and it works fine, I can't reproduce the bug. Same box.
Cheers
Mick

Ok, ... seems ok in Slaxer_pup too, k2.6.27.7. Only in ppa-422.

Sigmund,
New testing here...
On old p3 600 box, pcd-1.0
1) Testing with 421 (k2.6.15.16) frugal install, has been for awhile. If I play the cd and then select another random track to play the correct track displays in the progress bar.
2) Testing with pps-422 (k2.6.15.16) "puppy pfix=ram". If I play the cd and then select another random track to play the correct track displays in the progress bar.
3) Testing with ppa-422 (k2.6.9.6) "puppy pfix=ram". If I play the cd and then select another random track to play the first track that played persists to be displayed in the progress bar.
kernel specific???? (two separate boxes...)
Hope this helps. There seem no clues running from terminal.
Cheers,
Mick
