Thanks.

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.

Ah what the hay, I'll make it easy for you...pcdlite thread

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 ?

Testing now, and Black Sabbaths songs show up in the progressbar here, can you be more specific???????????


Sigmund

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

Mick, what Puppy are you running?

ppa-422, on fastish box, athlon 2100+

Sigmund

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

Let's keep an eye on this......

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

Bonjour à tous,
@ Zigbert,
pCD 1.1
I changed the french local file to fr-FR:french, but pCD starts in English only.
What's wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Cordialement

fr-FR:french
....Oh no.....

Bonjour à tous,
@ Zigbert,
Sorry, i renamed to fr_FR:french, and no french display anymore.
Cordialement

Please try to download the package once more. I think it is fixed.


Sigmund

Bonjour à tous,
@Zigbert,
Thank you very much, it works in french now.

I'm using Puppy Linux 4.x on a RAM drive. I am using pcd (simple, sweet, effective) to listen to an audio CD. It pulled in the track names and all. Very nice!

This PC has two optical drives. pcd has no option to switch from one to the next. Is this feature added for puppy 5.x?

Thanks

Pcd always read the default CD-device (/dev/cdrom). You can change this by redefining your preferred device in the CD/DVD-wizard. See setup-menu.

Version 1.2
See main post

Changelog
- Progress bar
- 'Copy CD' goes directly to burn-options dialog in Pburn
- improved language detection (thanks to wow)
- Bugfix: Check internet connection when not using LANG=en_US (thanks to wow)
- Bugfix: 'Stop', 'next' and 'previous' button froze playing-song-info.
- Bugfix: Clear info when eject.

Important
Pmusic 1.3 includes playback (and simple ripping) of audio-CD. Pmusic will also show a complete progressbar, and give the possibility to jump forward/back in playback time. Pcd has a sweet and simple ui, but Pmusic will simulate pCD by using the -c switch. - 'pmusic -c' will read cd and start playing the first song. So why bother continue the development of pCD. The answer is simply system-usage. While pCD pipes the rip directly into the player (cdda2wav | aplay), pmusic first rip, then starts the universal converter that pipes the result into the player (cdda2wav; ffmpeg | aplay). This gives more use of both cpu and temporary storage / memory. The reason why doing it so complex in Pmusic is to achieve more flexibility of the output stream.

Hi zigbert !

like pfind I like pCD very much !

but I'd like to have pCD starting from menu without autoprobing for CD drives and contents.
so I made a little pCDmenustart.sh :
usr-local-bin

#!/bin/bash
## this is a shellscript to not search automatically for CD drives running pCD from the menu

export MENUSTART=1
exec pcd
exit

and added this to
usr-local-pcd-pcd

line 27+

if [ $MENUSTART = 1 ]; then
. $APPDIR/func -stop
else
. $APPDIR/func -probe
fi

but most annoying is the "Hickup" after finishing the last song.
so I added this to
usr-local-pcd-func
-play) line 125 +
lines 140+
I modified pCD Version=1.2 running Quirky 1.3 and posting from it now

Thank you again very much for your work!
