In other puppies they are suitable.
Perhaps if you named them Help 1 and Help 2
and had pop-ups to explain the function.

What do you mean about 'odd'? Remember that these buttons are only there until the rc-file is overwritten. That is most likely during first run.

By odd I mean that they stand out or are 'conspicuous'

But it depends on the theme, for example in the default
Lucid Puppy theme they stand out whereas in the 23 oz theme
they fit in.

Can you (or anyone) give a description of the
most common setups of bitrate/samplerate/channels.
I am not really into this
The most popular

It starts with 44100 then it goes down by halves and ends with 8000 hz

44100
22050
11025
8000

Check to see how Audacity lists it in their preferences.

Can pmusic's storage be moved to /mnt/home

#1205 Post by mikeslr »

Hi zigbert,

First let me congratulate you on the outstanding work you've done in pmusic. Although I customarily work without background distractions, I've been working on putting together a puplet for someone who's a music fan, and especially enjoys radio. So I've been exploring the various applications which run under Puppy and am very impressed by how versatile and complete pmusic is.

In order to setup receiving music from streaming sources pmusic, like other music manager's I've examined, downloads one or more indexes. These can use up a considerable amount of a Frugal Install's SaveFile. Additionally, I frequently have more than one Puppy installation, so when possible, I move cache, settings and anything else I can think of to /mnt/home and create symlinks to the various Puppies. So I was wondering into what folder(s) the indexes used by pmusic will be found, and if it was possible to move them to /mnt/home?

Thanks in advance,

mikesLr

All Pmusic indexes are found in /root/.pmusic/
You can of course link to /mnt/home, but at next index-update, the new files will be located to /root/.pmusic.
Another solution would be to change the variable $WORKDIR (line 21 in /usr/local/pmusic/pmusic). If this works as expected we could easily (I think) add this option to the configuration-file.


Thank you for your liking
Sigmund

Your request about samplerate presets are added to the wish-list


Thank you

Forget this - it won't work.

zigbert,

Thanks for the info, and for testing the alternative.

Hello zigbert,

Sorry if these questions have been asked before, but is there a reason why Pmusic does not have a "Stop" button?

If I play a radio stream I can click "Pause" and the playback of the audio does pause, but I can see that the data is still streaming (lights flashing).

Also, is it OK to install the latest version straight over the top of the recent versions in Lupu Plus, Slacko 533 and Racy 53 ?

Thanks.

If I make the downloading stop while pause, is there else some reason for having a Stop-button?

I think Pause and Stop are 2 different functions.

With streams it is useful to be able to pause and then when you click Play again it resumes from the point where you paused so you don't lose any of the programme. I think it did do this but I will test some more. Not sure if it will work like this if you pause for a long time, but maybe the downloading needs to continue while you are paused.

If I click Stop I really want the player to disconnect from the stream server and if I click Play again obviously it will connect again and start playing from the point at which the new connection is made.

When playing files I would also expect Pause to hold the place and resume from there but Stop would just stop and wait for me to start playing the next file or start the same one but from the beginning.

It has been a while since the stop-button left the Pmusic gui. I saw this first in Spotify and felt that it was a good solution. I am glad everytime I can simplify a gui.... I can't see that a stop-button would add any new functions to Pmusic. You can stop playing by the pause/play button, and you can start from the beginning of a track by clicking on it. It would be good if more users had an opinion on this....

Regarding the Stop-button it could be an alternative to offer 'Stop' from the Track-menu combined with hot-keys.

locale not working

#1216 Post by vicmz »

Pmusic 2.6.3 working fine. The only bug is the GUI remains English despite default system language being Spanish. I'm translating the latest Pmusic and I can't see the translations on the GUI. I tried restarting X and rebooting, no changes. I have a Wary 5.3 frugal install to USB key, UTF-8 turned on.

BTW, I like the new choice for saving geometry, makes it more comfortable.

Hi Sigmund

I should learn to read code :oops:

I see your intention in the pinstall.sh and what I reference was wrong. It may even break stuff in a current running system, though will more likely just error and not run.

The stuff you intend to happen in woof can't because $HOME is not defined. Until woof supports multiuser the only way is either hard code to root or not have that routine. Also /tmp don't exist until the system is up and running. I just glanced at $HOME and didn't read the code knowing in my head $HOME can't exist in the build system. Sorry!

Maybe you could hide your code elsewhere and make it part of the pmusic initial code generation? That would work.

Cheers

I 'think' your problem is that Pmusic has changed structure of the locale-files. The older model (which you probably are using) holds the spanish file as /usr/local/pmusic/locals/es:ES_spanish, while the new file is /usr/share/locales/es/LC_MESSAGES/pmusic


Good luck
Sigmund

No $HOME and no /tmp - is this the intended way to build up a system? When you tell this, it's not hard to see that my script fails :D

Of course, but it wouldn't set up the roxapp or the rox-icon until you start Pmusic, and that doesn't sound like the best solution to me.

Hi Sigmund, I have recently been using earlier versions of Pmusic to play and rip music, but have been unable to find a way to get it to play an entire folder. Is there an easy way to add a whole folder to the playlist? And does this function only exist in more recent versions? (I think it was version 1.63 I was trying...). Thanks
