Hello,

I can only start mocp when i put the following in my config:

Layout1 = "directory:0,0,100%,100% playlist:0,0,100%,100%"
Layout2 = "directory:0,0,50%,100% playlist:50%,0,50%,100%"

If i don't do i can't start due to "malformed layout1"

maybe there is Layout1 option defined somwhere else in the config? What if you completly remove the configuration file?

I removed the config file, but no change.

The only difference between this entry and the default is that you don't use the FILL parameter. What is yout terminal and it's size (please show output of echo $COLUMNS $LINES on this terminal).

Hi!
I'm experiencing the same behavior as the OP. I didn't have a config file at all. Creating ~/.moc/config with the Layout1/2-lines made "mocp" start up. I'm using Gentoo linux and have installed "moc" version 2.4.2.

My terminal (which is an ssh-session) reports:
$ echo $COLUMNS $LINES
125 34

WithOUT .moc/config there is:
$ mocp

FATAL_ERROR: Layout1 is malformed

$

So, what's wrong?

Can someone having this problem apply the patch, run mocp -D and paste the mocp_client_log?

I hope this will show the place when MOC thinks something is wrong because I still cannot reproduce this using he same terminal and the same terminal size.

I don't think it does depend upon the terminal size, because i can reproduce it with various terminals and terminal sizes!

Maybe, but I can't reproduce it so I'm asking to use the patch I've sent that in addition to this error message logs where MOC thinks the layout is wrong.

mocp started ok, but was able play only mp4 files, so I've checked http://moc.daper.net/node/220, downloaded a lot of libraries throught and without apt. recompiled and now its ok -)

I can't reproduce it on my system, I'll try rxvt. Unfortunately this message doesn't specify exactly what's wrong (there will be nothing in logs even).

I tried Xterm but no change, maybe it depends on X.org?

I started getting this problem after updating my system to the latest Debian Lenny - including updates to X.org and all the xserver stuff.

I was going to try the patch, so I downloaded and compiled from source: but it doesn't have the same problem!

The path to source is always uphill ;-)

Finally, I've also hit this bug :)

The fix is simple:
ftp://ftp.daper.net/pub/soft/moc/patches/layout-1-is-malformed-fix.patch

Apply with patch -p0 < layout-1-is-malformed-fix.patch

Not using the FILL parameter in layout description also fixes this problem, but the patch fixes it properly.
