pMusic 6.0.0

[disciple]

Have you tried the new function 'menu > window > Navigator window'. This is meant as a replacement for this.

No, I haven't tried 0.7.0 - you're a step ahead of me

> Here's my idea... what about a button that shrinks Pmusic to the task bar? Yeah, yeah, it's been suggested, and I bet ziggy is racking his brain trying to figure it out.

To be honest, I have never looked at this...... But if anyone have the knowledge, I'll listen.

I guess someone could hack gtkdialog or come up with something clever, but I think this basically just isn't a feature for a gtkdialogue program. Put a button on the taskbar and use this new (old) Navigator function

Hi Sigmund,

Well, I've tried There's no way I can get 0.7 to work on my PC. I will try another laptop and see if it will work there.

This is a 2nd fresh install of Puppy, yes Puppy, and before loading pmusic 0.7 I completely deleted any references to pmusic

I managed to get it to run and open gui with 'wings' but at this point it will not load any files. It opens a dialog showing playlist loading but then quits at 0% and then freezes pmusic. I've tried various combinations of pmusic from empty but all do same.

Incidently, I forgot about the theme I had worked on and it was deleted during the point I was clearing any references to pmusic

Will you please explain one more time WHEN the freeze take place.
- Is it when you add song to playlist from the index (left wing)?
- Is it when you add song from filebrowser?
- Have you updated index?
- Is 'Wings' the only window that loads?
- Is there any terminal output then Pmusic won't startup?
- What filesystem(s) are your music files stored on (ext2/3, vfat, ntfs...)?
- When 'Loading Playlist' dialog shows, did you actually add a playlist?
- Does it work if you now installs Pmusic 0.6.5

I need some more flesh on the bugbone to help you.

OK, some more tests.

When I start 7 it appears in looks as per 6 gui. I then go to menu and select import playlist. It shows xdialog 'importing please wait' shows 0% then shuts xdialog and then rest is frozen.

Start again anew, I can open wings from menu, any attempt to import a list does same and freezes pmusic.

Start again anew, this time do nothing but menu 'preferences' which then shuts down pmusic completely.

Start again anew, menu 'manager', then anything else freezes.

Cannot get songs into it or set preferences. No terminal messages, ran from command line and watched but terminal also stops.

Remove 7 install 6 again and all OK, imports playlist and will play OK and can set preferences. One oddity, 'About' still shows it as 7.

Files stored on ext2 hd and also on usb stick. USB stick does just the same at import playlist.

That seems to be the problem area. apart from preferences.

Are there any legacy temp files that may cause a problem ?

[tasmod]

OK, been off for a while whilst I did a complete wipe and re-install of Puppy.

Now, nothing else is loaded, this is virgin. I loaded the pet of 7 (a new download)

Opened pmusic7 and got as far as the add music list but when xdialog message opened it again showed 0% and closed. This time however pmusic still did other things but would not add a playlist

More investigation follows.

Do you know if there is a mirror of your programs anywhere Zigbert? Puppylinux.asia is apparently inaccessible for the rest of the month.

I'm still using 0.6.5, and I noticed that when I use File-Open, it only opens music files, but the index thing indexes other types of file - so when I search for an artist name or something and click add all, it also adds text files and jpg files to the playlist.
I wanted to see if the latest version still does this.

Hi disciple

pupplinux.ca has all zigbert's stuff except pmusic-0.7.1

I'm sure when ziggy realises .asia is out for the month he'll put it here.

Cheers

The file-browser in Pmusic is the basic gtk-widget. - I can't manipulate the search code. We could think of including my search widget like the one in Pburn / Picker. But searching the index is sooooo much faster. Putting in a separate search feature could mislead the user. Pmusic + index = My answer to huge music collections

Thank you for the help with the Pburn/ffmpeg issue in the beginners section.
Sorry to hear about .asia

Hi,
Many thanks for that new version which I'm found to install !

But to avoid eventual mis-install..
...does the existing Pmusic0.5.0 be Pet-B-Goned before new install?

Many thanks for answer !

ps: I like Puppy (or its French translation Toutou...I'm using both...)
Cheers
Charlie

charlie5 - No, I think you don't need to uninstall one version before installing the next. Depending on what your existing version is you might need to empty your playlist as the playlist format changed at some stage, so things end up in the wrong columns in the gui.

Zigbert - I'm not complaining about the file browser. I'm wondering why the indexer indexes files that aren't audio files. Or am I missing something?

[disciple]

Remember how music originally kept playing when you closed the pmusic window? How much work would it be to add this feature back in as a command line option?

Have you tried the new function 'menu > window > Navigator window'. This is meant as a replacement for this.

Oh. Now that I try it I see that it isn't really a replacement for the old functionality. I guess you still followed what I said about that old behaviour plus a taskbar button being a poor-man's replacement for a tray icon?

[charlie6]

Hi disciple,
many thanks for your answer time !

charlie5 - No, I think you don't need to uninstall one version before installing the next.

OK ! got it installed and menu entry adapted! it works !
(on toutoulinux412 frugal - on puppy 413 also where Pmusic version is 0.3.x)

I'm not complaining about the file browser. I'm wondering why the indexer indexes files that aren't audio files. Or am I missing something?

I see. The files are indexed in several groups (songs - collections - all), and the search functions looks in the 'all' group. I'll consider to change that.

Greetings Zigbert

I tried your pmusic 0.72 program in puppy 2.15ce

Code: Select all

sh-3.00# pmusic
cat: /root/.pmusic/tmp/pmusic-PID2: No such file or directory
/usr/share/themes/Puppy-blueX/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:4: Unable to locate image file in pixmap_path: "water-light.png"
/root/.gtkrc-2.0:5: error: invalid identifier `local', expected valid identifier
Fontconfig warning: "local.conf", line 13: invalid constant used : False
amixer: Unable to find simple control 'Bass',0

cat: /root/.pmusic/tmp/filebrowser_dir: No such file or directory
EXIT="Ready"
sh-3.00# mkdir /root/.pmusic/tmp/filebrowser_dir
sh-3.00# pmusic
cat: /root/.pmusic/tmp/pmusic-PID2: No such file or directory

amixer: Unable to find simple control 'Bass',0

cat: /root/.pmusic/tmp/filebrowser_dir: Is a directory
EXIT="Ready"
sh-3.00# 

I briefly got the splash screen but that was it.

Have you done any testing on previous versions of puppy? Any idea why this might be?

Many thanks for your continued hard work perfecting pmusic.

I really don't know why it's not running in Puppy 2.15, but evaluating the output could lead us to an older gtk2 library????

Hello Sigmund

0.7.2 is working as it should on my P3 600, 256 ram. I tried 0.7.0 on it but no go but I doubled the ram since then so that may have been the issue. With 'Master' selected for the mixer, seperate left and right channels is working . I have a separate sound card in this one but no EQ . Ah, well, I have tone controls on my speakers , Behringer speakers, quite nice. I use them as monitors for recording.

Rob, I was going to reply about that issue, yes me too, I think it is a gtk issue.

Cheers

What program do you find best for recording?
