Please give more info.

Will you please explain what is not logical. I am really interested in giving the best user experience.

Merci for pMusic3.1.0 !
just wondering if pMusic would play midi files if for instance Timidity was installed?
thanks for any answer

There is a possibility for a future midi support. I have not tested it, but theoretically, pMusic could handle midi.

It's logical, I just had to poke around a bit to find out what I needed to do because I'm unfamiliar with pmusic.
I plan to use it more now though

i think my guess would be that pmusic doesn't like filenames with spaces. I can listen to the radio though. But I don't want change my preference on filenames of Music. Is there a workaround

Posted: **Thu 17 Jan 2013, 13:52**

Pmusic plays files with spaces in their names for me. What format are the songs that won't play for you? (What are the filename extensions?) Are they CAPITALIZED?

Posted: **Thu 17 Jan 2013, 14:37**

they're .mp3 format. I am running Slacko 5.4 (firefox-4g) with this version of pmusic.

EDIT: I do have the listed requirements. Like I said the music works on GNOME-Mplayer, but not in pmusic.

EDIT2: No they're not CAPITALIZED

When I do a ls -l in rxvt teminal, the tab key makes the command line something like

ls -l 07\ -\ Jason\ Vieaux\ -\ Sor\ -\ 07\ -\ Op.\ 44\ -\ Andante.mp3

Maybe the software does something with the spaces so that they can be handled by pmusic etc

When I click on it in rox filer, pmusic plays it.

Lucid Puppy 5.2.8-005

same error when clicking on it in rox.

Will you please give us the terminal output when executing:

Code: Select all

pmusic --debug "/path/Name of file.mp3"

Thank you
Sigmund

Posted: **Thu 17 Jan 2013, 21:11**

will the debug option modify the .mp3 file?

here is what I got from typing the command and hitting enter:

Code: Select all

# pmusic --debug "/root/Music/Smosh/Ultimate Assassin's Creed 3 Song [Explicit]/01 - Ultimate Assassin's Creed 3 Song [Explicit].mp3"
kill: usage: kill [-s sigspec | -n signum | -sigspec] pid | jobspec ... or kill -l [sigspec]
find: `/root/.pmusic/pmu/': No such file or directory

Ok, got it - Filename containing ] or [ fails.

Thank you
Sigmund

Posted: **Thu 17 Jan 2013, 23:14**

is there a work around?

Playing midi now works.
But to officially support midi, it has to be fully included to the pMusic workflow. That means (in addition to actually play the file)
- update stream status (moving slider)
- export with convert options
- detect track info
- burn file to audio cd
- supported by the native playlist format (*.pmu)
- Error checking
- ...

Let's see what future brings..... Don't expect too much.
Youtube is also unofficially supported if movgrab is installed. You can add a URL like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWA2pjMjpBs and pMusic connects and starts playing.

Version 3.1.1
See main post

Changelog
- Bugfix: Title in Now Playing mode (thanks to Billtoo)
- Bugfix: Filename can't contain ] (thanks to bark_bark_bark)

Note to Charlie: This release will play midi files if timidity is present

Hello Zigbert

I couldn't find any gtkdialog 0.8.3 pets in the forum or elsewhere, how can I get it for Pmusic to run in Precise?

Hi Sigmund ...et encore merci !!!

btw: i have Timidity running ...but can't get pMusic playing a midi file ---> are there specific settings to do to get pMusic playing midi files (for instance set Timidity as external program to start, or as plugin, or something else) ??
thanks for any answer !

This could be usefull for musicians who have to handle midi files among other mp3 ...etc.. files

Interesting

The playing command is stored in /root/.pmusic/tmp/exec. Mine looks like this:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
LANG=C timidity -Ow -o - '/root/pMusic midi test file.mid' | ffmpeg -i pipe:0 -f au - 2>> /root/.pmusic/tmp/ffmpeg_output | aplay  2> /root/.pmusic/tmp/aplay_error

If you instead point errors to stdout and execute command in terminal you will hopefully get some errors. Something like this:

Code: Select all

LANG=C timidity -Ow -o - '/path/file.mid' | ffmpeg -i pipe:0 -f au - | aplay

Thank you
