2.4.0-beta2: the final beta release

Submitted by daper on Wed, 2006-01-25 21:20

This is the last beta release for 2.4.0 version. It contains fixes for few bugs and few new minor features. Most important changes are fixes for displaying non-ASCII characters. Thanks to people who reported bugs.

Full list of changes:

  • Workaround for encoding of ID3v1 tags. New options: UseRCC - to use librcc for ID3v1 reencoding, ID3v1TagsEncoding - assumed encoding for ID3v1 tags.
  • Added UseCursorSelection option (default: no) to display cursor on the selected file. This is useful with braille displays.
  • Added SetXtermTitle option (disable/enable setting xterm title).
  • Fixed displaying menu title that contains non-ASCII characters.
  • Fixed next/previous commands when the position of the current file has changed.
  • Fixed segfault when adding URLs to the playlist using the -a command line option.
  • Fixed compilation with ffmpeg-config (--plugin-libs instead of --libs).
  • wcswidth() is required to compile MOC.

Release:

thank you for the release. i am still however unable to play internet streams (e. g. http://amp1.cesnet.cz:8000/cro3.ogg or mms streams)

It just works for me. Please give me more details. I think the server crashes, so a backtrace could be useful as described here: http://moc.daper.net/node/96

even after setting ulimit -c to 10000 the core is not created. here are the steps how to reproduce this on my machine:

1. run mocp
2. hit o
3. enter (paste) stream address (http://amp1.cesnet.cz:8000/cro3.ogg)
4. hit enter

the following error message follows:

"FATAL_ERROR: Can't receive value from the server."

and i find myself back at the terminal. my specs: slackware linux 10.2, kernel 2.4.30, MOC beta2 installed from sources

I run slackware 10.1 with the same kernel in qemu and works. Maybe log files can be useful.

What version of libcurl do you use (curl-config --version)?

thank you, that made the trick. how long do you think before mms streams support is supported? thanks. /j/

I don't have any idea, I haven't looked at it. mms will probably not fit well in the current MOC design, so it's not as easy.
