In trying to get pmusic and pburn to work, I somehow lost the gtkdialog 0.8.3 which worked under Lucid Puppy 5.28-005

Now pmusic 4.01 doesn't start, nor does 3.30

Is there a way to find gtkdialog which works?

This seems very difficult.

You might have missed this: See "Dependencies" This is new in V4 utility requirements.

Hope this helps

Thank you, I appreciate your trying to help.

What is on that page that helps me find a gtkdialog which will work under Lucid Puppy
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... =383046722
and work with the new pburn and pmusic?

Please excuse; I am not very bright, have never done compiling etc etc

It would be nice if someone running Lucid could compile the latest gtkdialog. sheldonisaac is not the only one struggling with this....


Thanks
Sigmund

Booted Lucid 528-005 pfix=ram
Installed the gtkdialog-r514 .PET
Installed pMusic 4.0.1 .PET

Started pMusic and it worked, music played, even without the ffmpeg upgrade although obviously the dependency check shows it in yellow. Installed the ffmpeg upgrade and the dependency check was then green and music still played OK.

This gtkdialog was compiled in Racy 5.5 but should be OK in Lucid, give it a try.

Thank you!
I have uploaded it to the release-note-post

As Sigmund said, Thank you!
I followed your steps, and now it works very well.

This one is very handy for _me_.
Since it only use ffmpeg sound filters, it does not require a backend like 'normalize'.

Still struggling with the sound/audio syntax....
If i got it right, sound is what you hear while audio is the container.

But, please read carefully on this screeny...
when Converting some tracks, it will transform the audio because of format/bitrate/... - but hopefully it will sound equal to the original audio. Filtering on the other hand will do something about what you hear...

What would be the most precise syntax (or what would not confuse the user)



Thank you
Sigmund

Hi zigbert,
In the new Precise 5.7.1 if you edit the .spot-status file to make
pMusic run under user spot there is a problem when you go to shut pMusic
down, it won't.
Restarting x will quit pMusic but the lights on the modem are still
blinking like crazy so the stream is still downloading, need to reboot
to stop it.

Precise is using a very old version (2.6.7) of pMusic. I don't know why Barry finds this as a proper solution. Much has been improved in generation 3 and 4 of pMusic.

Please install the latest pMusic and report back if the bug is still there. I don't want to spend time fixing an outdated player.

Also, I haven't tried running as spot, so it would be great if you could explain in detail how I can reproduce the bug.


Thank you
Sigmund

I updated to the latest pMusic and the problem is still there, pMusic
will shutdown now but the modem lights are flashing so the stream is
still downloading.

To run pMusic under user spot you need to load and edit the
.spot-status file which is a hidden file in the root directory.
Add pmusic=false and then save the file,open the terminal and run loginmanager,
that's it.

Billtoo
Thank you
Will look into it

Would you please help me by testing the following?

Add a new line at the very end of /usr/local/pmusic/pmusic
exit 0

Does this help out? - it improves process handling for me both for root and spot

I added to the pmusic file but it hasn't helped, I quit pmusic about 5 minutes ago and the modem lights are still blinking, downloading the radio stream.

EDIT:I switched back to running as root and it quits as it should, won't quit properly running as spot though and I thought running as spot would be a more secure method for programs that access the internet.

Billtoo
Are you able to find the actual running process?

I just switched back to user spot and tried again, the process that keeps running after quitting pMusic is streamripper.

Billtoo
I am in Slacko 5.4, and streamripper closes after pMusic exit for spot.
What permissions are set for streamripper?

Code: Select all

ls -l "$(which streamripper)"

I don't have pMusic running atm but I entered the code in the terminal:

# ls -l "$(which streamripper)"
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 117316 Aug 2 10:32 /usr/bin/streamripper
