General discussion

Hi, thanks for such a good audio player.

I've got two problems and want to ask what I can do about them. Let me give you the details:

Problem-1
========
At first, I had a disturbing delay at shutdown, but was able to solve it by Setting "ShowTime = yes" and increasing TagCacheSize enough to hold all tags possibly read from the playlist entries, as suggested by the forum post [ moc.daper.net/node/345 ], titled "MOC takes long to exit (after q or Q command) with big playlist (hangs on "Reading tags...")".

Hi all, very trivial i know but I love the black_orange theme (link below)

I have some wavs recorded by my asterisk PBX voicemail. They are 16bit 8Khz single channel mono. If I play them in aplay or mplayer they sound very clear and crisp (in the left channel), but in moc they sound muffled. It mixes the single channel mono into 2 channel mono too.

I have ResampleMethod set to SincBestQuality and I've tried setting the PreferredDecoder to modplug, sndfile, wavpack and ffmpeg, and tried it unset. The wavs only show in moc with sndfile and ffmpeg.

Decoder plugins: aac ffmpeg flac modplug mp3 sndfile speex vorbis

I have some very long mp3s and after a certain point in the audio the progression reads only minutes, e.g.:

103m 305m [ 409m]

Is it possible to customise it so it always shows the hours, minutes and seconds? Something like:

HH:MM:SS HH:MM:SS [ HH:MM:SSS ]

It would help when trying to cue in the middle of the tracks.

TIA

Hellos,

I am using a quite old laptop for ncurses DJing and recently updated it to Lubuntu 18.04 i386 from Lubuntu 14.04. When the full setup is running, I have some terminals, mc, Qjackctl, Jack Rack and two instances of MOC open.

This was no problem at all on Lubuntu 14.04, but after the fresh install, one instance of MOC takes up to 25% CPU, according to htop. I tried all sorts of different settings for resampling, different settings in Qjackctl, with absolutely no difference. Audacious for example needs only ~1.5% when playing the same track.

Hi, is there a howto on using marks?

I have a few questions. I want to pass some audio to sox:

ExecCommand1 = "play %f trim %S =%E"

I will do more with it, but for now I just want to test getting something to play.

How do I clear one or both marks?
Does the order of the marks matter? I.E. does the ' need to be before the " in the audio?

I made a " before making the ', and rewound and tried to make a ' but it isn't working.

TIA

URL streams cannot be paused and resumed?
For whatever reason this does not work as expected for me.

mocp -S
mocp -a http://xyx-.mp3
mocp -p
mocp -P
mocp -U
song starts over
Either from the commandline or from the interface the when paused and then resumed it starts over.

is this expected behavior?

I am a long-time user of Music-on-Console, however have just installed it on my new laptop to find that M.O.C. fails to detect the audio driver, failing with the error message "FATAL_ERROR: No valid sound driver!". M.O.C. is the only application with this problem; Firefox, V.L.C., aplay, etc., all work perfectly with my plain A.L.S.A. set-up.

I am somewhat-surprised that M.O.C. has any difficulty detecting the speaker configuration, as it is fairly standard. Below is the output of aplay -L (I want to output to PCH "default"):
