Mick
No good
How does you index file look? - /root/.pmusic/index_mymusic (or where you have pointed the data storage).
The numbers are timestamps that are written to index file when song is completed. I see that pMusic is wrinting to index file even if song is NOT in index.

I have added an extra check in func_player line 232

/root/.pmusic/index_mymusic only has the timestamps by the look. This one is a bit over my head!

Somehow the indexing must have gone wrong. Can you try to reproduce it.

The index file contains 21 fields. ie. like this:

Ok, with nothing playing, I add my music path which is /mnt/sda10/music to the gui with the + button. I delete /root and /mnt with - button (they are there by default). I index, the progress looks normal but the /root/.pmusic/index_mymusic file ends up empty. I think the file is building ok but at the finish it gets overwritten by something.

Clicking tracks and playing them adds entries to that file. Is that supposed to happen?

Radio database works normally.

Each time I am deleting /root/.pmusic so I start with a clean slate.

I just stepped back to 2.9.4 and it works as expected indexing my tracks.

Ok Mick, I am diving.

But first 2 things to mention:

The trayapp is no longer included in the pMusic pet because pMusic belongs in the noarch category - taryapp doesn't. It is available via plugins. Atm, plugin structure is simple, but that will change if we see more use of it.

The detection of correct soundcard should be less Puppy specific with this code. If content of /etc/asound.conf doesn't return any value, use the first card.

Great Mick.

If you want to include tray-app in the distro just install this pet. It is the 32bit version.

Hi Sigmund,

The tray app is already there. I have been using the separate pet throughout slacko-beta testing but since the pmusic-3 beta series started it fails to work. I didn't dive in though, it is probably something simple missing. If I start the tray app with /usr/local/pmusic/pmusic_tray I can start pmusic from the tray app..

Cheers

You must use the latest trayapp pet. Only this one is compatible with pMusic 3. All trayapp-specific code is removed in favor to the new plugin structure. The new pet contains both the tray icon and an rc file that holds plugin information.

Ok, apologies.. I got the pet but there is still a problem. The icon doesn't show for me. It seems it ignores the rc file for icon path as it's hard coded in the C source to /usr/local/pmusic/pmusic20.png

The trayapps are compiled in Slacko (32bit) and Fatdog (64bit). I have assumed that they will work also in other systems. You know the compiling world - can it work?
