Hi Pemasu,

[charlie6]

Hi to musicians,
happy music day !
here is a debian based pet for a metronome that does not need Python, nor KDE, nor Qt ...
download here an all-in-one pet.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=635688#635688
runs out off the box on exprimo !
enjoy !
Charlie

Thanks to all for the idea and testing.
UPDATED: getnvidia-0.2.pet, NVIDIA driver installer/PET/SFS builder.
http://shino.pos.to/party/bridge.cgi?puppy/opt/
You need devx and kernel source package to build the kernel module. Required internet connection.
Recommended to build with new pupsave, 256MB or larger. I am not quite sure but If your RAM is less than 640MB, needs 500MB swap.

1. Load devx package
   
2. Load kernel source package
   
3. Install getnvidia.
   
4. Exit X and down to the command prompt
   
5. Type 'getnvidia'.

NVIDIA Graphics tip is not essential to build (thanks to pemasu). You can build on another PC if the target PC has not enough power and/or internet connection.

Charlie6. Yes. It means that there is no plugin for midi. In fact...I liked to get feedback if there is needed plugins, which I have left out. I use solely mp3, ogg, m4a, aac formats for music. And mostly I listen net radioas and net streams. So...if midi plugin is wanted...no problem....I compile it with that plugin easily...I have source still in place and ready to go.....I just want deadbeef so slim...that I could - might update it to the base distro. That is why I left those strange plugins out.

I have reuploaded the Deadbeef-0.5.5. I fixed the cd audio wrong library error, now cd audio plays. I also added wav and midi support. Plugin summary has been updated accordingly.

My first try for xine-lib-1.2.2 and gxine-0.5.907. You need xine-lib for backend and then some frontend to use xine. I compiled gxine frontend.

Xine-lib configuration:
./configure CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --disable-rpath --with-gnu-ld --disable-dxr3 --disable-glu --disable-gnomevfs --with-x --with-external-ffmpeg --without-imagemagick --with-freetype --without-esound --without-jack --with-libflac --disable-altivec --disable-vis --disable-opengl --disable-aalib --disable-fb --enable-directfb --disable-oss --disable-mng --enable-mmap --with-sdl --with-external-libfaad --disable-iconvtest

Gxine configuration:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --without-browser-plugin --without-dbus --disable-deprecated --with-x --disable-lirc

Lirc disabling needs this source editing:
--- src/lirc.c
+++ src/lirc.c
@@ -223,8 +223,8 @@
if (gxine_lirc_thread_created)
pthread_join (gxine_lirc_thread, NULL);
gxine_lirc_start ();
-#endif
JS_SET_RVAL (cx, vp, gxine_lirc_thread ? JSVAL_TRUE : JSVAL_FALSE);
+#endif
return JS_TRUE;
}

No guarantee if working....except for me....

Download link for xine-lib-1.2.2: http://smokey01.com/pemasu/pet_packages-exprimo/xine-lib-1.2.2.pet
And if you want to compile other frontend, you need dev libs for xine-libs: http://smokey01.com/pemasu/pet_packages-exprimo/xine_DEV-lib-1.2.2.pet

Next test compile challenge. Avidemux. Avidemux-2.5.5-svn gtk version compiled and packaged. 2.5.6 version has problems, havent succeeded with it.
Avidemux-2.6.0-svn, latest does not yet compile gtk version, but..qt4 gui compiles ok.
Pets are in exprimo repo. Remember...Avidemux-2.6 needs qt libs also, basic version is ok.

Today I came back from our summer cottage. We spent midsummer holidays there, watched bonfires, I did steer the boat when the others were fishing. I couldnt throw the fishing rod, lol.
I used my mother`s hsdpa modem for internet connection from my dpup. It worked fine.

When I came back...I decided to try to get my DVB-T TV tuner stick to work. So ....I downloaded the VLC 2.0.1 source and had several trials and errors before I got almost the wanted compile. Still the subtitles eludes me, but dvb support works. I did enable almost everything.

I scanned my old post about using vlc with dvb stick.
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=453966#453966
Then I fired my old stick, downloaded the firmware, installed the dvb-apps deb and scanned and wrote the channels to the channels.conf file.

In the attached pic is the result. It records the channel as .ts files of the played TV broadcast and they play in gnome-mplayer, but the dvb subtitles does not transfer. Still something to work on...but I am really loss with the subtitles. The recording button appear when you tick extra menu to show up.

Anyway, the compile plays also avi, mp4, music files which I tested: mp3, aac, m4a, audio cd, dvd movies with menus. Bluray support should be in it, when you download the libbluray for squeeze from backports packages.debian. I dont have bluray drive...so cant test it.

I will upload this one...if I dont get inspiration with subtitle support...not probable...lol.....

I did enable pvr support. I dont know how to check that it is there, but it was enabled in configuration.

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --enable-run-as-root --enable-pvr --enable-real --enable-realrtsp --disable-notify --disable-sid --disable-goom

[pemasu]

I got it ! Subtitles works now.
--enable-non-utf8 ..libcaca, libslang, libass devel libs enables the subtitles for me.
In terminal: vlc -vvv --list ....gives you the ./configure options, shows missing libs and lists the available modules. Vlc has about 400 modules depending on build.

There is several problems with audio and video modules. Libschroedinger in squeeze is too old. Which means that dirac is probably obsolete to include, crystalhd has broken headers, it would need latest source from git or use vlc patch, libfluisynth has libpulse dependency, some libs dependencies are very heavy like smb support and so on...I am going to compile dvb - pvr - most audio - video enabled vlc...so that the balance with the size of dependent libs and usablity should be good.

With dvb - pvr and subtitles ....

This is my latest ./configure:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --enable-run-as-root --enable-pvr --enable-real --enable-realrtsp --disable-notify --disable-sid --disable-goom --disable-decklink --disable-smb --disable-gme --disable-taglib --enable-non-utf8 --disable-pulse --disable-fluidsynth --disable-libproxy --disable-projectm --disable-portaudio --disable-jack --disable-kate --disable-kai --disable-tiger --disable-upnp --disable-kva --disable-live555 --disable-crystalhd --disable-speex --disable-schroedinger --disable-dirac

[pemasu]

For testing. Please...give feedback. VLC-2.0.1-dpup with dvb - pvr (Hauppauge IVTV MPEG Encoding cards input) - subtitles - digital TV recording - supports bunch of audio and video formats.

Tested: avi, mkv, mp4, mov, rm, wmw, mp3, m4a, aac, audio cd, dvd video with menus, digital TV with dvb-t stick, recording of dvb, preserves subtitles, Hauppauge pwr cards works, after installing the firmware, see posts later.
Tv tuner sticks needs according firmware, usually...see the posts later.

Passed all these formats: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=541258#541258
http://diddywahdiddy.net/Puppy500/mediatest.tar.gz

Matroska started to work after installing squeeze maintainer mkv-error-fix patch to the source.

You will need qt4 libs, vlc and vlc deps libs, all in exprimo repo:

http://smokey01.com/pemasu/pet_packages-exprimo/qt-4.8.0-basic-with-qtwebkit-dpup.pet
http://smokey01.com/pemasu/pet_packages-exprimo/vlc-2.0.1-dpup.pet
http://smokey01.com/pemasu/pet_packages-exprimo/vlc-2.0.1-deps-dpup.pet

And for localizing VLC, if you want: http://smokey01.com/pemasu/pet_packages-exprimo/vlc_NLS-2.0.1-dpup.pet
