Hi Sigmund
I get the error window about balance not working (new eq gui) because my output is "mono", that's fine, but I have to dismiss it 6 times before it goes away, I checked this s few times.

Hi Mick
This is strange stuff. I am running Slacko 5.4.0.3 and can not reproduce it. I tested this before I settled on the command. In the file gui_mixer, the slider is defined:
Code: Select all
GUI_BALANCE='
<hscale draw-value="false" scale-step="1" scale-min="0" scale-max="200" tooltip-text="'$(gettext 'Balance')'
'$(gettext 'Speaker channel')': '$SPEAKER'" space-expand="false" space-fill="false">
<variable>BALANCE</variable>
<input file>'$WORKDIR'/BALANCE</input>
<action>. '$APPDIR'/func_mixer -set_volume</action>
<action signal="button-release-event">'$APPDIR'/func_mixer -check_stereo</action>
</hscale>
'
So the signal="button-release-event" must be activated differently on our systems. Yes - that is strange. Hmm. what other signal could be used......?

hi zigbert
music transport bar now working well in precise, thankyou.
the balance doesn't work in the audiomixer
Code: Select all
Speaker channel is mono, so balance will not work. Select another speaker channel in the preferences.
i tried 'master', 'pcm' and 'front' channels and all got the error. the music is playing in stereo though despite the 'channel is mono' comment

I fired up my old laptop and got the mono-msg pop up twice when moving balance-slider (not six times like you). This behavior went away went fixing the general balance issue reported by Phil. Will you please report back if you still have trouble?
Thank you

Hello Barry
I am now in a fresh install of Racy-5.4.93, and can not reproduce your bugreport. First I mounted my pendrive, played mp3, stopped from menu, and unmounted pendrive. - No problems.
Then I went through the same task in terminal to see if any output. This is what I got.
Code: Select all
# mount -t auto /dev/sdc1 /mnt/sdc1
# pmusic /mnt/sdc1/Saint\ deamon\ -\ Pandeamonium1.mp3
# umount /dev/sdc1
umount: can't umount /mnt/sdc1: Device or resource busy
# pmusic -s stop
# umount /dev/sdc1
#
Do you have more info?

It was actually the "play/pause" button that I pressed to stop the playing, as there is no actual "stop" button. Then I chose "quit" from the "file" menu.
However, testing now, racy 5.4.93, the problem has gone away!

Oh well, I guess that I will have to wait, if it happens again, I will copy the output of "ps" so that you can see the culprits that were still running.

Some months ago I raised the issue that when playing streams if you click the "pause" button the playing would pause but the data would continue downstreaming unless you quit the application completely.
A "stop" control was introduced, but only in the drop-down of the "Track" menu. Clicking that does stop the streaming.
Not sure if this is related to what Barry observed, but would it be worth considering putting a conventional square "stop" button in the GUI ?

It might be a solution to actually stop when pause a stream. pMusic has no way to buffer the stream, so it won't continue where stream is paused anyway. What it does is just sending a pause-signal to the process, so it is still running. The downside by stopping instead of pausing would be that connection is lost, so it will take time to get a new connection. For many radio streams this connection time is rather long.
This has nothing to do with Barrys issue. He want pMusic to kill all pids when it quits - and it is supposed to do so...

I just tried Barry's procedure, 3.23 under LuPu 5,2.8
The problem did not occur.

Hi Sigmund,
Which version of gtkdialog exactly is required for the latest pmusic? We are having problems trying to upgrade Fatdog to 3.2.3. Fatdog currently has 2.6.2 (ancient!), probably stuck with that because we were stuck with gtkdialog 0.8.0. Recently kirk upgraded to gtkdialog 0.8.3 (as gtkdialog4), so I tried to install pmusic 3.2.3 again just now - and it failed to run (gtkdialog failed to launch pmusic gui).
pmusic -D reports is like this:
Code: Select all
grep: /root/.pmusic/pmusicrc: No such file or directory
/usr/local/pmusic/func_config: line 35: /root/.pmusic/tmp/window_title: No such file or directory
R E Q U I R E D
bash [OK]
coreutils, awk, sed, diff [OK]
gtkdialog >= 0.8.3 [OK]
ffmpeg >= 0.11 [OK]
aplay (alsa) [OK]
R E C O M M E N D E D
streamripper (extended radio-rip/play) [MISSING]
cdda2wav (play/rip audio-CD) [OK]
wget (connection to www) [OK]
O P T I O N A L
pBurn (burning audio-CD) [OK]
pFilesearch (File-search engine) >= 1.28 /usr/local/pmusic/pmusic: line 224: [: too many arguments
[MISSING]
pSchedule (podcast managing) >= 1.12 /usr/local/pmusic/pmusic: line 228: [: -ge: unary operator expected
[MISSING]
pEqualizer (10 band equalizer) [MISSING]
Any idea? We probably can't stay at 2.6.2 too because apparently the gtkdialog update has broken 2.6.2 too
cheers!
