ffmpeg requirement

#1187 Post by shinobar »

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
ffmpeg version 0.7.5, Copyright (c) 2000-2011 the Libav developers

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.

ffmpeg 0.8

Hum... it is another big issue. :roll:
The ffmpeg 0.8.x has 2 development lines, ffmpeg and libav(avconv).
Most of Puppy 5.x follows ffmpeg, but the presice (debian and ubuntu too) takes libav.
I am not sure their compatibility and have some doubt in their performance. We japanese editions stay at libav 0.7.x...

review of pmusic 262

#1191 Post by don570 »

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)




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

Code: Select all

Error Information:
	An exit code of 1 was returned from pmusic.

Output Data:
	There was no output

Error Logs:
	There was no error message

Image

When I launch using any other method like clicking an icon or the
terminal I don't get this 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.

Agree, maybe an info-box or presets or ... ?

Can you (or anyone) give a description of the most common setups of bitrate/samplerate/channels. I am not really into this.

What do you mean about 'odd'? Remember that these buttons are only there until the rc-file is overwritten. That is most likely during first run.

By odd I mean that they stand out or are 'conspicuous'

But it depends on the theme, for example in the default
Lucid Puppy theme they stand out whereas in the 23 oz theme
they fit in.

The most popular

It starts with 44100 then it goes down by halves and ends with 8000 hz

44100
22050
11025
8000

Check to see how Audacity lists it in their preferences.

Can pmusic's storage be moved to /mnt/home

#1205 Post by mikeslr »

Hi zigbert,

First let me congratulate you on the outstanding work you've done in pmusic. Although I customarily work without background distractions, I've been working on putting together a puplet for someone who's a music fan, and especially enjoys radio. So I've been exploring the various applications which run under Puppy and am very impressed by how versatile and complete pmusic is.

In order to setup receiving music from streaming sources pmusic, like other music manager's I've examined, downloads one or more indexes. These can use up a considerable amount of a Frugal Install's SaveFile. Additionally, I frequently have more than one Puppy installation, so when possible, I move cache, settings and anything else I can think of to /mnt/home and create symlinks to the various Puppies. So I was wondering into what folder(s) the indexes used by pmusic will be found, and if it was possible to move them to /mnt/home?

Thanks in advance,

mikesLr
