(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Dear Sigmund,

My problem hs been solved - and everything works. I recompiled libcddb from Slackware sources and everything is now OK, including my bash. It turns out that my version of libcddb was bad, failed to recognize /dev/cdrom generated a null string when executed, which then caused your logic test to fail. Nothing wrong from your side. Mea culpa!

With kind regards,
vovchik

Glad to hear !!!

Dearest little Trio
Why this crying sadness ?

1. "Has anyone had trouble with this player in Puppy 4 ?"
I'm running it from BoxPup 4.1.3 installed to an ext2 Linux partition on my internal HDD.
It displays all tracks on a commercial audio CD, but will only play the 1st track.
It does this if I have the program running with no disk in the drawer ["No CD found"], and then if I put a disk in and close the drawer, the 1st window still shows no disk found, but a 2nd window opens showing the 1st track info and it plays.
If I then stop that playing, and close that 2nd window, the 1st window still doesn't display any tracks.
So I click "Read disk" and the tracks are displayed.
Then I can highlight any of the listed tracks OK, but when the play button is clicked, all that happens is a dotted square appears inside the edge of the button, but the track doesn't play.

2. I really like the simplicity of this player, so I'd like to get it to work.

Dear teacher

Because you don't address my problem

Sylvander
I don't know boxpup, so it's hard to tell whats wrong. I would check if boxpup uses crdtools or cdrkit. This can be determined by execute 'which icedax' in terminal. Icedax is part of the cdrkit package, and is the one used in the official Puppy. Could you start pcd from terminal and post the output here.

Sorry about your slow system
It sounds like a hardware issue.
Vovchic used the 'interface' switch for scsi in /usr/local/pcd/func (-play)

cdda2wav -Igeneric_scsi -D/dev/cdrom -t $CDDA -Owav - | aplay &

the other interface option is

cdda2wav -Icooked_ioctl -D/dev/cdrom -t $CDDA -Owav - | aplay &
Please try


Sigmund

Ahh K,

Hmmm,

Using spup here, but so far all 412 apps work ok. Failure here but it tried, Screeny shows, I may be able to figure it out myself.

Applause, Sigmund. I see where you are going with this

Mick

I can't figure out why (maybe only for me ) the circled file in my screeny appears in '/usr/local/pcd'. Should it be in '~/.pcd/tmp' ?

Mick
Have you selected track before pressing play? I see there is no default track-setting.

What do you get if you run from terminal: 'cddb_query read' ?


Sigmund

From this screeny you can clearly see that I did select a track, that cdda is working in the term but not making it to the gui And I get an error with aplay...."playback: 2148: read error"

1. zigbert
(a) The terminal in BoxPup 4.1.3 is named sakura.
# which icedax
Produces the output:
/usr/bin/icedax

(b)
# pcd
Produces the output:
EXIT="Ready"
And the pcd - CD-audio player appears.

Mick
I still need the requested output. The CD-text info on your screeny is produced by cdda2wav, and not cddb_query as expected.


Sigmund

Sylvander
Icedax is there - good

When I asked for the pcd output, I meant all output produced until the first song is playing. pcd will return much output (and errors) to the terminal, which is good when we searches bugs.


Sigmund

zigbert
Repeated the pcd command, but this time I put a commercially produced CD in the drawer and closed it.
The 2nd player window opened, and the 1st track began playing, but...
There was no additional output in the sakura terminal.
Right-clicked the icon in the system tray and clicked "Stop", with no change.
Clicked the eject button in the 1st window and still no additional output in the terminal.
.

It seems Barry is testing this package to go in Woof!!!

And found a bug in Ubuntu Jaunty in the process

Good to see we are getting the bugs sorted.

One feature possibility? Pmusic has directories defined for where people have their music collection...could this App also rip CD's to the same locations?

Keep up the good work

Woof Woof

Well

A different (more popular ) CD is detected OK. There is still the aplay error, 2019 I think.

Details...

pcd works great. I have one question however. Could you add that progress bar from pmusic?

Sylvander
pcd does not place any icon in the tray. I suspect you got another player as well ????

Mick
True! - discs that are not added to the cddb, is not detected even with cd-text info on disc......

Your attached log tells us that aplay is trying to play track 0, - which doesn't exist. - I'm speechless

Methinks zigbert will eventually incorporate this app in Pmusic...could that be right Sigmund?
