Hi Sigmund
thanks for your post !
looking and seeking around, have found this:
pMusic seems playing midi files at the conditions that another non-midi (i.e. .mp3 file) file is present in the right-hand window; if only a .mid file present then no play.
/root/.pmusic/tmp/exec looks like:
#!/bin/sh
LANG=C timidity -Ow -o - '/mnt/sda6/273.mid' | ffmpeg -i pipe:0 -f au - 2>> /root/.pmusic/tmp/ffmpeg_output | aplay 2> /root/.pmusic/tmp/aplay_error

This release has focus on bugfixing, but it also includes 2 major fixed issues.
What happens when you move your collection to another location?
In fact nothing if you browse for your files, but if you searches or in any other way takes advantage of the pMusic database, it has to be updated, and you loose your most-played info of these files. With 3.1.2, pMusic offers a smoother solution.
At once you try to add a file to playlist that does not exist, this message pops up.
I have used pMusic on a netbook, and I saw that some of the windows are too tall.
To do something with this, I have rewritten the code that generates the heading. Now it allows additional widgets inside the heading which has spacesaving effect on some windows

Keeping the db in good shape is important to benefit of the pMusic environment. There has surely been some issues in the 3 branch. This because the db is dynamically written to every time pMusic detects new info about tracks. I have several times made some improvement to this. Today, I have been clicking aggressively all day, and in the end spotted a bottleneck. I can't say for sure that all issues are gone, but much better anyway.
I see that another approach could be a backup function, but things should just work...
Of course someone would find it logical to also include a db editor, but if things works, this should not be required. On the other hand, an editor could be handy for geeks who don't want to edit the index file by hand. This could be offered as a plugin. - at least in the first stage. I have no plans right now.

Hi, when I Setup the radio stations, Install does something in about 1 second, but Advanced seems to do nothing..
This is under Lucid Puppy 5.3.8-005
I seem to recall that in some older Pmusic version, it did an updating which required several minutes?
Thanks,
Sheldon

Checking it out right now, and it works fine here.
What output do get if you download it from the repo with this command? (dowloads to /root/)
Code: Select all
wget --tries=1 --user puppy --password linux --output-document="/root/index_radio.gz" "http://www.meownplanet.net/zigbert/pmusic_index_radio.gz"

Thank you, Sigmund.
See below.
It unpacks to exactly the same size as the one first installed:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1112146 2012-10-17 18:37 index_radio
Am I confused? The Advanced tab in the past allowed
updating, which took several minutes.

Eq-button in both main and CD frontend shall be. But it will take a while, since that must be a target for 3.2.

some quests:
- Does the simple installation now work, or dows it only download pmusic_index_radio.gz ?
- Do you get any errors if running 'pmusic --debug' in terminal and using the advanced radio-station builder?
- What Puppy are you running?
Since I can't reproduce the bug, we must try to find the exact command that corrupts it all.
Thank you
Sigmund

I deleted /root/.pmusic/index_radio, then ran pmusic from the menu.
It started its GUI perfectly, as it has done.
Then I did the Music Sources -> Radio stations -> Setup and clicked the Install button. The index_radio installed perfectly, as it has been.
- Do you get any errors if running 'pmusic --debug' in terminal and using the advanced radio-station builder?
(I removed some duplicate lines from the below)
Code: Select all
pmusic --debug

- What Puppy are you running?
Lucid Puppy 5.2.8-005
This
may be the "culprit"; I will try Pmusic 3.14 under 'lina-lite.
EDIT: I rebooted to 'lina-lite. Deleted index_radio. Installed it from the GUI. Now, when I clicked the Advanced tab, the screen to Update appeared.
I clicked the button at 9:36 USA Eastern time.
It is progressing normally, ie 21% at present.
Could this be a problem with the gtkdialog in Lucid Puppy 5.5.8??
Beyond my ability.
Thanks a lot.
Sheldon

pMusic includes a dependency checker. Either from the help-menu or by executing

Thank you, Sigmund. Of course, I had typoed above - it's
Lucid Puppy 5.2.8 - Updated ISO Version 005 - APR 05 2012
Somehow a day or two ago, flashplyer no longer worked, and eventually I started with a fresh Lucid Puppy.
I think that may be when the problem with updating rhe radio stations started.
Is there a foolproof way to set up all the dependencies etc for Pmusic?
Code: Select all

It seems that your dependencies are a bit old.
Your ffmpeg is old, but I don't think that should do any harm for playback. pMusic benefits of later ffmpeg when it comes to embedding av albumart into the audio file.
Worse is the gtkdialog built from svn. This is not the official 0.8.3 version, but a prebuild. You will meet problems of the very latest gui improvements in pMusic as the export window and the save box....

Thanks, Sigmund.
I hope someone can direct me to the appropriate ffmpeg and gtkdialog, or where to ask for them.
I don't see many recent posts in the forum thread for LuPu 5.2.8, but will try asking there, after a while.
I have SolidPup 5.1.1-B Lite, 'lina-lite, and racy-5.3-BABYbarebones
Possibly the ffmpeg and gtkdialog from one or another would work with Lucid Puppy 528.

Not at all. It is only problematic if you compiled gtkdialog from svn BEFORE the OFFICIAL release of 0.8.3.
