A question:
Pmusic 2.6.2 says Required ffmpeg (>= 0.8 )

The lupu-528JP(under development) has ffmpeg 0.7.5 of the Libav version.
In what function does the pmusic 2.6.2 require ffmpeg 0.8?
(pmusic -h does not complain the ffmpeg 0.7.5.)

# ffmpeg

Now I understand why you had to set SS=0....
ffmpeg 0.8 changed the format of its terminal output. Pmusic uses this for length calculation and so on. I would expect progress-slider to fail, statusbar give wrong info, and maybe the next song in playlist won't autostart. I really don't know what would happen....

.... Trackinfo will also partly trouble.

And maybe most important, - support of radio-streams are heavily improved.
BUT, if streamripper is installed, it will be the preferred stream-engine.

Test of pmusic 262

I noticed a couple of bugs while using the Enlightenment WM in Exprimo.

Here's a strange one!! A right click on a bookmark pops up the menu
in the screen corner ( as shown in image)

Also in Enlightenment When I launch from the Start menu
I get this strange warning message but pmusic works okay.
Here's the error message

The openbox window manager used by Lucid puppy
continues to have the problem with clicking outside the popup menu.
But it's a small aggravation.

I suggest you change the wording in this window to middle button.

It would be nice to have the common sample rates listed
to help an inexperienced user select an appropriate rate.
The feature worked well when I tested it.

When selecting a bookmarked file using the selector
it would be nice to have the name (the second field)
filed in automatically.

I spotted an odd space before the square bracket in
the Bookmark window.

In some puppies the two help buttons looks odd.
In other puppies they are suitable.
Perhaps if you named them Help 1 and Help 2
and had pop-ups to explain the function.
