Hi

I have done a few installations without issue of moc and was
surprised recently to encounter a difficulty

On my past two installations I installed moc on Debian
Squeeze Foxconn nettop systems

The current system, a Foxconn nt i1500 is the subject of
my post.

I first installed the system with Debian Wheezy (7.1)
There is nothing else on the box except Debian and mocp

moc is configured to play an internet radio stream.

After a few hours, the system emits a "broken record"
sound : as if you are hearing the same sound repeated
endlessly, an uninterrupted 'stutter' if you will

I couldn't access the box over the network, and the symptom
could be resolved simply by unplugging and replugging the
network cable; similar I guess to resetting the network
interface (Realtek).

I tried configuring the system using the WLAN interface
(Intel) but the result was the same.

I reinstalled the box with Debian Squeeze (6.07)
and the result was the same, although the cable disconnect
method didn't change matters and this time I could still
access the system over the network

Any ideas ?

thanks

I enjoy pretty much detaching moc from the server and quickly popping up the gui via a keyboard shortcut. I mainly do this for a quick change of the song to be played by navigating and selecting songs in the playlist menu. However everytime I startup the interface the directory menu is focused, which is very inconvenient, because I have to press TAB to focus the playlist.

Long story short: When I start the gui I want to see the playlist and only the playlist. I want to see the directory only after switching to a different layout or after pressing TAB.

I tried the following for my ~/.moc/config:

Switching the order of "directory" and "playlist" menus in the layout string:
Layout1 = playlist(0,0,100%,100%):directory(0,0,100%,100%)
-- no effect

Configuring only directory
Layout1 = directory(50%,50%,50%,50%)
-- no effect

Trying to hide directory completely via
Layout1 = directory(0,0,0,0)
makes moc fail to start up, because of malformed layout.

Any pointers? Thanks!

Hi,

I'm having a problem with the playlist order in moc. I've got a playlist (no matter if it's m3u or pls) with 2 internetradio-stations. When I clear the moc playlist with -c, then append my playlist with -a and start playing, moc starts with the first entry from the playlist. When I add a third station to my playlist and repeat the procedere moc uses the third entry from my playlist as the first. The second entry is the first from the list and the third entry is the second entry from the list. I tested also the pls-format where you can explicit define title1, title2,... but this also doesn't work for me. Got anybody an idea why moc always changes the playlistorder?

Hi,

I just found on the net that lyvi should work with Moc to display the lyrics played from Moc.

Is that true ?

If yes, could anyone pls let me know how ?

Thank you very much in advance and take care.

Hi All,

Is there a way to configure mocp or use a plugin or something similar to cause a pause between each track in a playlist?

Ideally, I want to configure the length of the pause but I want to have a 2500ms pause between each track.

My use-case is to record mp3 tracks in realtime to a Minidisc recorder. The Minidisc recorder uses a gap of silence lasting about 2 seconds to auto-insert a trackmark.

Thanks!

(...and before you ask, yes I know it's 2013 but I still use Minidisc from time to time :-)

Hi,

I started using moc just a while ago (version 2.5.0-alpha4). I was wondering if there is easy way to make searches faster on very large playlist. Right now when I hit / and start typing, the program hangs for while for every letter I type, but works nicely otherwise :)

Hi there,
apt-get install moc only offers 2.5.0-alpha4. How can I install 2.5.0-beta1 ?
apt-get install moc=2.5.0-beta1 doesn't work either.
Any advice?
Thanks.

When I run MOC (svn version), it appears to go fine until it suddenly stops and says

FATAL_ERROR: Server exited!

After messing around with gdb and getting it to follow the child fork (the server), I was able to track it down to a segfault on line 1144 of tags_cache.c, c->db_env->set_msgcall (c->db_env, db_msg_cb);.

I have no clue about anything with BerkeleyDB, so I don't really know what this line does or why it might be causing problems. I didn't file this under bug reports because I think it may be a problem with my db installation. This is on a newly installed arch install that may have some screwiness that I am unaware of.

Any help would be appreciated.
