General discussion

I was wondering if it was possible to restore the current playlist after detaching MOC and reattaching it back. More accurately, is it possible to get the list on the right pane back (since the music is on, anyway)?

I'm using 2.5.0-alpha4 on Arch Linux.

I haven't been using moc long, but wanted to delete music from the current play list by directory, so here is a patch that does that. Usefulness probably depends on the layout of your music directories.

I also found that "make dist" produces incomplete tarballs if ./configure decides things are missing from the host. (As I am not at all familiar with autotools/automake and just read http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/automake/Unconfigured-Subdirectories.html there may be a better solution to this.)

Hi!

I have some m4a files with alac data with plenty of tags. However MOC displays contents of tag "composer" instead of "artist" in its playlist. I am using svn version of moc.

Also - I had to disable/delete AAC plugin in order to get ALAC to play by ffmpeg. Maybe with recent versions of ffmpeg, ffmpeg plugin should be prefered over aac?

i have installed minimal ubuntu 9.10 on my desktop.

When i run "mocp" from terminal and go to a directory i get this error:

FATAL_ERROR: Can't receive value from the Server

But when i do "sudo mocp". It allows me to play songs perfectly.

Anyone know what this error is?

Thank you advanced.

I started using this player recently and I must say I'm impressed, it's very good, even for someone like me that never used a console based player regularly. I just wanted to know if it's possible to sort the playlist, it would be very useful, as I added a lot of files from various folders and they didn't sort automatically.

Hello everybody!

At the moment, I am trying to build a moc-rpm in Fedora 12, but I have some problems as I see related to the ffmpeg/ffmpeg-devel-packages in Fedora.
It has been possible to build the rpms without ffmpeg-Support, but this is not what I want.

I asked an Ubuntu-Karmic-User to build it and he had no problems.

I am not a programmer, so I think, I am not able to change anything in src/moc-2.4.4/decoder_plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c, but I guess, it is just an include-Problem (wrong path?).

I would like to help having moc in the official rpmfusion-repos, because it is my favourite musicplayer and I do not want other users to have to compile it on their own.

This is my first time building a package and not just compiling something just for me, and I think, I cannot handle this without help.

If my English is a little bad, please apologize. I am no native English speaker.

Thanks for help

Whenever I start mocp (along with the server) it caches all the names (also id3 tags?) of the files in the folder. When I do ^Q it loses the cache and I have to recache everything. This would be ok, but one of my folders is huge, and takes a considerable amount of time to process. Is there a way I can store the cache of the current folder on exit? (my hdd would especially appreciate it :p)

is it possible to implement a suitable midilib to play midi files
Ive tried timidity and it doesnt work at all

I use ubuntu and there must be some midilib out there that
can work with mocp for this purpose

right now i use gnu's wildmidi
at least it works !
