General discussion

Hi,

first of all: Thank you for this great piece of software. For my mp3s, i built a custom player "around" moc in an stylish old Grundig television and it works like a charm. Maybe I'll send a few photos for inspiration...

I miss one feature: Having a shortcut to copy a higlighted file or folder instantly to a mounted external mp3 player (= usb drive). A little progress indicator would be also great because I've only a USB1.1 external mp3 player

Any comments ?

Is there any option to compile decoder_plugins into main binary?

I just recently built MOC unstable. When I try to run mocp, I get the message "FATAL_ERROR: Can't recieve value from the server." Is this something with an easy and obvious fix, or should I provide more information for use in debugging?

I just installed MOC to try it out. So far I am very impressed with the features in it.

I am running it on Ubuntu Breezy without X Windows installed. I'm having an issue where running it in the console makes the screen get jumbled a bit. I don't get the nice line border around the window, and it seems to push all of the text over 1 space when the timer starts. Refreshing the screen with ^r will bring it back to normal for just a second, but then the problem persists. I've tried in a standard console, as well as setting the framebuffer to 1024x768.

This only seems to happen locally on the machine, if I SSH into the jukebox from another machine running X with gnome-terminal, everything looks fine on the screen and I am able to control MOC. Does anyone have any insight into this? I have a feeling it has to do with the TERM settings in my shell. Logged in locally, TERM is set to "linux", but through SSH, it is set as "xterm". Setting it manually to xterm in my shell does not help the situation. Any thoughts?

How do you save multiple playlists in moc? After creating one today, I used the "V" button to save it, called it test1.pls, but then I couldn't find the file anywhere on my system (including the ~/.moc directory). I then tried to save it again using the same file name, but it told me that the file already exists. Where is it storing my playlists?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I'm using ESD as my sound deamon, but my favorite sound player moc doesn't support it. Is there a possibility, that esd driver appears in the Roadmap?

Does mocp (2.3.2) have any facilities for remote control?

I took an old p2-400 256mb laptop w/wireless card, put a basic (no X) Fedora Core 4 on it, then added SlimServer (http://www.slimdevices.com/pi_features.html) and MOC (rolled my own RPM) and jacked an audio cable from the laptop to the stereo. It works fantastically, I have the laptop shoved under the stereo system and play all my MP3 streams right there controlled via webbrowser. Adding an external USB drive today to store local music, add Samba/NFS for management and I'm done. Project time: 1 day. :)

So, I have MOC running in a shell listening to http://localhost:9000/stream.mp3, detached into the background. I really don't have to touch mocp except to adjust the volume every now and then when a random station jacks up their volume or something. What I'd like to do is build some sort of web-able control (SlimServer plugin maybe?) that could interface with MOC on the localhost, maybe sending it commands for this and that (basic stuff, nothing fancy - adjust volume, stop/play).

Hence the question -- is there anything in the code floating around that I could utilize? I haven't started digging into it, thought I'd float the question first here.

thanks!
