General discussion

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 !

Hello,
I have a idea using old computer like mp3 player, start automatically, and managed by cronetab.

If i use mocp, it works fine. But i need something like this:

mocp -S
mocp --play [file]
mocp --stop
mocp --play [catalog]
mocp --stop
mocp --play [file]
etc...
...

How do that? When I try use mocp -p /home/file.mp3 nothing is happens.
Is possible playing music from directory (recursively) ? How add directory (with all subdirectories) to the playlist, save them, and play after?

What I'm doing wrong?
