pMusic 6.0.0

[rodin.s]

Thank you for the file. I have added gettext to it and have made Russian translation.

[pemasu]

I think that I will create pet.specs for Pmusic-2.20 in advance.

I could never make heads nor tails of Pmusic. When I tried it years ago, I said to myself, "You can't just drag files over from a Rox window? Huh? This isn't integrated into Puppy.".. plus once I finally figured out how to play a file there was like, no means of moving around one's position within the file-- making it rather useless to me as I usually am listening to spoken word that's a half-hour or more in length. "Whatever, forget that.." gxine was the main player included with Puppy at that time, and suited me fine except for very small things.
So I haven't bothered since then, but just yesterday had a fresh install booted and hadn't put in my fave apps yet, and the kids working the coffeeshop put on thoroughly insipid pop music which had me lunging for my headphones, then something to fill them with. Not keen on Pmusic saying something about rifling through "my music collection" (I'm sure you don't phone-home with it, but I just on principle want nothing compiling a db on my sound files-- it just isn't necessary) I checked out what --help on the cmd line would offer me, and sure, looked simple enough to simply play a song from the directory I opened the term window in. The filename started with 0036_ so I did:

Code: Select all

#pmusic 0036*

I suppose this was whatever version shipped with Lucid 528, so please ignore this and accept my apologies for all my blatherings if you've fixed it.

Great stuff!
I have not yet decided how I should include this....
I made a link to your post in the 'Pmusic language support' thread, so others (and me) can find your improvement.


Thank you
Sigmund

I think that I will create pet.specs for Pmusic-2.20 in advance.

Come on, 2.2.0 must show some new cool stuff...
...and that work has not yet started.

Let's fix the 2.1 branch first.

If you don't want to use the internal browser in Pmusic, feel free to click on a file in ROX.

To play from terminal you should offer a tab-keypress instead of the *. Then you will get the complete name. Pmusic does not support mass-adding from command-line.

Thank you for taking the time to give some feedback even if you dislike Pmusic so much. Most of us wouldn't bother...

Hi zigbert, In 1.8.3 is there a preference between pmusic_CD and pCD? They look a bit different. I am asking because I am assembling Instant Update 002 for Lucid 5.2.8--the defaultcdplayer is currently pCD but I am wondering if I should change to pmusic_CD.

Lucid 5.2.8 uses the 1.8.3 branch.

I am also preparing a Super Multimedia Upgrade Version 2 for Lucid 5.2.8 which upgrades it to the 2x branch, so in that I know to use pmusic_CD.

Thanks.

Version 2.1.9
See main post

Changelog
- Bugfix: Play audiofiles shorter than 2 sec.

pCD is a unique app while Pmusic_CD is just an alternative frontend for Pmusic. pCD will not get further development, but it is well tested. Pmusic_CD in 1.8.3 is rather young, while in todays 2.1.x it has got more time to grow.

wary 5.2 pmusic 2.1.8 is the first time I have tried pmusic.

Strange things happen with playlists, they change after quiting pmusic and restarting!

I went back to wary 5.1.4.1 and did all the same initialization to pmusic 1.8.3 and the playlists seem stable.

The following is some info I could gather:

" -------1---------2---------3---------4---------5---------6----
wary 5.2
pmusic 2.1.8 also 2.1.9

+ index
+ add jazz to playlist 1 (5 pieces)
+ add classical to playlist 2 (3 pieces)
+ add rock to playlist 3 (4 pieces)
! all play ok

quit pmusic
restart pmusic
playlists have changed! Playlist 1 is now Playlist 2.

Could this have something to do with the newer gtkdialog or ffmpeg in wary 5.2?

Thank you for the report.
I will check it out.... It will probably take some time since the next version seems to be 2.2 - with new goodies

When will that be available? Will you announce it here?

wary 5.2
pmusic 2.1.8

Watching 'top' memory size (vsz and %mem) gtkdialog4 used by pmusic, the memory usage keeps increasing and can get quite high, 60% !

Is this a memory leak in gtkdialog4 or something pmusic is doing?

from top:
gtkdialog4 -f /root/.pmusic/tmp/xml_Pmusic -G +0+0

[darkcity]

Shouldn't cd ripping be added to the feature list on the first post?

Hmm, not good. I need to know the actual process that is not handled correct. Please execute the following command in a terminal and post the result here

Code: Select all

ps | grep pmusic

It is already there

Here is a snappy for the interested one

Pmusic 2.2 will offer a new WebMusic module with access to all music at jamendo.com. It is fully integrated with Pmusics infrastructure...

INPUT: 2000000+ tracks available directly from server or even better via index-file (download or build).
TREAT: Search, browse, full track-info support with lyrics and album art, ...
OUTPUT: Export music to local files to your preferred format.



Managing a increasing collection of music, we need better search-tools.... In this work, I have also added support of ordinary file-search via pfilesearch. This is great for those who use Pmusic as a basic player of local files, and don't care about index' and streams. By default the user should not need to bother of advanced settings, but for the power-user, there should be possibilities...
