General discussion

Hi

I am new to the project. Very like it.

This patch changes strcpy to strncpy in 1 place.

It is working patch. Just want to get agreement about how to change.

I compiled MOC 2.4.4 on openSUSE 11.0. It stars well, but could neither find nor play mp3……I have installed libmad and libid3tag. When ./configure finished, it said

MOC will be compiled with:
Decoder plugins: vorbis flac
OSS: yes
ALSA: yes
JACK: yes
DEBUG: yes
RCC: no
Network streams: yes
Resampling: no

When I run "mocp -D abc.mp3", client_log said

What should i do next? Thanks!

Hello all,
I depend a 100 % on software mixer because no other is able to change volume.
This is on a Soundblaster Live! Player , Alsa mixer channels fail to set any master volume
so i suspect the module to be the problem here , I can only alter the headphones input and auxilliary
or wave directly. ( PCM = headphones , Master = no effect )

This is the background story. Now when software mixing was patched into moc i could finally use it.

But what's a real drawback is that i have to switch to console, load moc tab and select software mixing everytime I start the system/moc .

If I don't manually select software mixer again i cannot alter volume with for instance "mocp -v -1" which I have on shortcuts.

Everytime master mixer is loaded as default which is useless on my setup and i guess a thousand others.

Now i have only little C knowledge but i tried to find any line where the order of the mixers is set up so i could write a patch that Software is just plain auto loaded. Well that was without success.

Could someone give me a hint here on how to either alter the config to load software mixer by default ( no success either ), or what to patch where to set software mixer as deafault.

Thanks very much !

Any hint?

Please help me! I needed a good console music player, and I quite liked moc, but it lags about 2-3 seconds each time i switch a console (Alt-F#).

I tried setting up ALSA as a default output, increasing output and input buffers, and it still lags. Please help me with this problem.
The OS is Ubuntu 9.04 x86_64.
The version of MOC is 2.5.0-alpha3, the one downloaded from the repository.

I have many diferent rooms with speakers in them (4) they are all getting a feed of moc music, but I have to vnc to my sound server to get the mixer (mom wants the voloume lower in the family room, I want to rock in my room, dads trying to watcha youtube on the computer downstairs (receiving stream from netjack))

So I need diferent voloume levels.

all I would like is multiple outputs (stereo, and when I start mocp I would use an option like mocp -o 4 (for my four rooms, 8 jack outputs)

then in mocp, use the ; and the ' key to cycle through moc jack outputs, so I could have each session of moc have the voloume controll the room it is running in.

As I mentioned before (previous topic i posted) I would be willing to sponsor this feature, (30$ USD or so)

I appreciate if others would comment if this feature would benifit them.

I would like to donate to the project, it there a way I can do this

I will send the administrator of the moc project a question too.

I love all the work that is done, I hope there will be much progress in the future.

I would like to see annother option (I will post annother topic)

Hi all,

Using 2.5.0-a3 (or 2.4.4) when I try to browse into a dir that have 2463 items (2219 files) it crashes instantaniously.
With other dirs it work ok. I'm on kubuntu 8.04.
Is there any limit for number of files in a dir ?

Thanks.
