General discussion

I just solved my problem with russian language on Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake, moc 2.3.3 =)

The related config lines look like:
TagsIconv = WINDOWS-1251:UTF-8
FileNamesIconv = UTF-8:UTF-8

(I am playing files from CD's because Ubuntu is installed on a small USB HDD, therefore FileNamesIconv could be another for HDD files).

cd-rom is mounted in /etc/fstab as:
/media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,iocharset=utf8

Running mocp as:
sh -c "LANGUAGE=ru_RU.cp1251 LC_ALL=ru_RU.cp1251 mocp"

RUSSIAN TEXT FOLLOWS (РУССКИЙ ТЕКСТ ДАЛЕЕ):

Русский moc

Только что решил проблему с русским языком для MOC на Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake, версия moc 2.3.3 =)

Строки файла config, что решили проблему:
TagsIconv = WINDOWS-1251:UTF-8
FileNamesIconv = UTF-8:UTF-8

(файлы ииграются с CD, т.к. на жестком диске очень мало места, поэтому параметр FileNamesIconv может быть другим для файлов на жесткром диске).

cd-rom монтирован со следующими параметрами в /etc/fstab:
/media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,iocharset=utf8

русский mocp запускаю так:
sh -c "LANGUAGE=ru_RU.cp1251 LC_ALL=ru_RU.cp1251 mocp"

надеюсь кому-то поможет)))

Hello

I've got a Gentoo 2.6.21 kernel running in-kernel alsa drivers. Alsa is up and working, and I have ffmpeg/libmad/libid3tags all installed, as well as MOC. I can run mocp, and it displays the media flies in my music directory, however when I attempt to play one of these media files, I get an error saying something like this:

Can't get decoder for /stuff/OuterSpace - Jedi Mind Tricks Presents OuterSpace (V0)/12 - Divine Evil (feat. Chief Kamachi).mp3

Does anybody have any ideas or experience with this problem?

Since I updated moc to (Debian) version 2.5.0~alpha2-2 it crashes when I try to play OGG/Vorbis files, spitting out the error: FATAL_ERROR: Can't receive value from the server. MP3 files are played fine.

The strange thing is: I downgraded to version 2.4.1 but the problem remains the same. Same thing with a deleted ~/.moc directory. Could this be a library problem? I have no idea where to look.

I have had libncurses installed on my debian etch, but it still reports error

Hi I get the same problem as the prior dude
when trying to launch executable mocp
FATAL_ERROR: No valid sound driver

answer to that problem was to add alsa dev files.
I use ubuntu and I only find this package with apt-get:

libasound2-dev - ALSA library development files

after installing this i still have no ALSA :(

I get this when doing ./configure

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

Well its obvious that i have no alsa support
How come the configure script choose OSS over ALSA per default ? ALSA is the future for linux, why not disable OSS or at least make it optional.

Crossfade support like mpd/winamp

Hello.

When I open MOC with the shuffle function turned on and add a large playlist, and starts playback it will jump trought the various files in the playlist. And the playlist view will follow this jumping around, so I can always see the song being played on the playlist somewhere on the view.

However, if close moc using q, so it will continue playback, and then open it again, the view will not jump around when the song changes. It will just always display the top of the playlist, regardless of which file is being played, unless I scroll down manually.

Is there a way to fix this?

Subj don't work in stable and development version MOC. Then i try "modprobe vmix" MOC normaly started and if i type "rmmod vmix" it's paste error:

[cnupt@linux ~]$ mocp
Running the server...
Trying OSS...

FATAL_ERROR: No valid sound driver

FATAL_ERROR: Server exited

Mplayer works in both situations.
