I am not the one to decide if ffmpeg of libav is the one choose, but it works really bad for pMusic having 2 different backends.....

It is okey with me that Ubuntu uses this and Debian uses that, but what is Puppy using?

Why not use whatever is installed?

Because they are not equal, and in the future the will likely evolve more separately.

It is of course possible to support several backends, but I had an idea that pMusic should be the simple solution.

Hi Sigmund,

One of the problems with ffmpeg is that it already is 2 or 3 backends... depending on the version number.

If new libav is still compatible with older ffmpeg then the fork that has become a complete break-away is really the newer ffmpegs.

As for what Puppy is using, looks like now it depends on the Puppy version. If you build a pup with packages from another distro then surely the pressure is on to use the packages that are official to that distro. Ubuntu and Debian have switched. Slackware 14.0 have stuck with ffmpeg. We don't really know at this time about the future of Wary and Racy.

I am glad to see Pmusic is back in the latest alphas of Precise Puppy. Have there been any reports of it not working?

Yes - Time calculation is wrong because the std output is different than ffmpeg.

My system won't run Precise nor Exprimo, so right now I am not able to look at it. Slacko is atm the only alternative for me.


have not tested latest Precise alpha

It's too late in Slacko's develpment cycle to look at libav.

BUT, after it's released (end Feb, start Mar) I may have to follow suit and MAY produce an experimental build supporting libav, or at least provide a libav package.

I'm afraid Barry has more or less dropped Racy, and Wary is not high on the priority list at the moment, leaving Upup-Precise. He calls the shots, even if he doesn't literally "call". Using libav in precise is a pretty loud statement Confused . I guess it had to come sooner or later. Even Slackware will likely follow.. one day.. not too soon.

Amazon has changed their site-layout, so albumart-grabber doesn't work anymore. Will post a fix hopefully tomorrow.

Hi Sigmund

I get the error window about balance not working (new eq gui) because my output is "mono", that's fine, but I have to dismiss it 6 times before it goes away, I checked this s few times.

Hi Mick
This is strange stuff. I am running Slacko 5.4.0.3 and can not reproduce it. I tested this before I settled on the command. In the file gui_mixer, the slider is defined:
Code:
GUI_BALANCE='
<hscale draw-value="false" scale-step="1" scale-min="0" scale-max="200" tooltip-text="'$(gettext 'Balance')'
'$(gettext 'Speaker channel')': '$SPEAKER'" space-expand="false" space-fill="false">
 <variable>BALANCE</variable>
 <input file>'$WORKDIR'/BALANCE</input>
 <action>. '$APPDIR'/func_mixer -set_volume</action>
 <action signal="button-release-event">'$APPDIR'/func_mixer -check_stereo</action>
</hscale>
'
So the signal="button-release-event" must be activated differently on our systems. Yes - that is strange. Hmm. what other signal could be used......?

hi zigbert

music transport bar now working well in precise, thankyou.

the balance doesn't work in the audiomixer
Code:
Speaker channel is mono, so balance will not work. Select another speaker channel in the preferences.

i tried 'master', 'pcm' and 'front' channels and all got the error. the music is playing in stereo though despite the 'channel is mono' comment
