Hello, I just installed moc 2.4.0 beta1 and it's very nice! The UTF-8 support in particular is something I've been waiting for - moc was my favourite music player even without this, but it's somewhat inconvenient when you have lots of music with non-ASCII titles ;-)

Now, UTF-8 display indeed works for filenames, but not for tags. I use UTF-8 tags, moc interprets them as Latin-1. Should I set something in the config file? The only option in config.example that seemed relevant was TagsIconv, but I see it's deprecated now.

A problem I enountered: when the front-end enters directories with long names and non-ascii characters, it crashes with:

*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid next size (fast): 0x080df088 ***

For example, I get a crash when I try to enter a directory named "αααααααααααααααααααααααααα" (that's 26 times the greek letter alpha).

Another (cosmetic) problem: with files containing double-width characters (Japanese etc.) the display isn't absolutely correct. Here's a screenshot:

Thanks!

Hi, thanks for this great software!
And my request... would be possible to add LADSPA plugins support to mocp?.. that can make it even more perfect than it is!
Bye and thanks again!

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?
