Hello

I've got a Gentoo 2.6.21 kernel running in-kernel alsa drivers. Alsa is up and working, and I have ffmpeg/libmad/libid3tags all installed, as well as MOC. I can run mocp, and it displays the media flies in my music directory, however when I attempt to play one of these media files, I get an error saying something like this:

Can't get decoder for /stuff/OuterSpace - Jedi Mind Tricks Presents OuterSpace (V0)/12 - Divine Evil (feat. Chief Kamachi).mp3

Does anybody have any ideas or experience with this problem?

Is it possible that you had another version/compilation of MOC installed, possibly in other directory and you are running mocp when the old mocp server is still running? I mean, try ps ax | grep mocp to see if there are any mocp processes, kill them and try again.

How silly of me!

That fixed it... aparently there was another process running from earlier in the day before i updated libmad. It works now, thanks!

BTW, great player, keep up the development!
