Hi,

Exams are over and I've spent some time sorting out which messages goes where dpending on how the program is started...

Could you please try to grab the latest sources from the cvs server, compile that and see if it works better for you.

And if you still get the segfault when connecting to the html pages (I can't reproduce it with CVS sources), then please run ample under gdb and mail me the output from a backtrace after it segfaults.

Thanks,
David

Ok, good, thanks for the testing...

I have a good idea what the cause of the rest of the problems are. I have exams coming up real soon though so I'll have to get back to you sometime next week :-)

Hmm, only a week's delay... sorry about that, things have been hectic.

Well that's a definite improvement, in that I can now get to my music
again...

------------------------------------------------------
The behaviour when running from xinetd is as follows

- connect using XMMS: an error pops up with the message "Couldn't
connect to host phoenix Server reported: Ample/0.5.5 started" (this is
the same as before). Then the music starts playing.

- connect using web browser: web page says "LOG[28523]: Ample/0.5.5

Hi,

I've looked into this and currently the support for (x)inetd is broken :-)

I've attached a patch, could you please try applying it in the src dir of ample 0.5.5 and see if it helps?

David

[David <da...@2g...>]

Hi Andy,

I'm having some problems recreating the problems you are seeing. Could you please try 0.5.5 again with debugging turned on and send me the output?

If you are worried about contaminating your syslogs I can recommend adding --disable-syslog when you run the configure script before you compile Ample. Then you can add a logfile=/some/where.log directive to ample.conf.

If you could do a test run with debugging turned on and send me your ample.conf and the log file (privately to me, no need to send it to the list) I'd appreciate it. Also, to make sure that there are no funky (damaged) MP3 files messing it up, could you try to create a dir with just one or two good MP3's in it and try to run Ample with only that dir.

This is really weird, the TCP socket is only bound once by the parent process at the time Ample is started. Are you sure all instances of Ample were killed before you started it again?

David

Thanks =)

Whops, the very verbose syslog stuff is really a bug, I didn't realize I'd left that there (since I'm always running in debug mode with a lot of extra info being "spewed" anyway). I'll look at your problem and the syslogging stuff and hopefully put out a new version in a few days.

[Ample-devel] Ample 0.5.5 on RH7.3...

[Andy P. <and...@fr...>]

Hi David,

Great to see Ample is under development again, after your various woes!

I just downloaded and built 0.5.5 on my RH7.3 box (my client is now
running 8.0 but I don't want to upgrade my server just yet for a few
reasons, so 7.3 it is). It compiles fine. I configured it for tcp
wrappers and syslogging.

Dropped it in place of the old version (I was on 0.5.2 until now, it
worked well for me). I didn't change the config file as I saw no reason
to add filters or authentication to my setup, I'm firewalled and
tcp-wrappered. I run ample out of xinetd and have that working just
fine.

Trying to connect back to the box with Galeon and XMMS - no response.
In the syslog I saw this:

I was only trying to connect once with XMMS when this happened. It looks
as if multiple copies get spawned and then race for the socket. I'm not
overly keen on this stuff getting spewed into syslog to be honest - with
0.5.2 the logging was far less verbose.

Either way, this doesn't look good for me at the moment, so I've
reverted to 0.5.2 for now. Any ideas?

(I've just joined the ample-devel mailing list, but it looks dormant
since January... copied there anyway).

Best wishes
Andy

Adam, 

Use the format <URL>/index.html.  For your setup, use:

	http://sulinsky.homeip.net:1234/index.html

[Ample-devel] ample & winamp: only able to select the first song in a directory

[Adam S. <ad...@ad...>]

Hi,

I've downloaded, compiled and installed ample 0.4.0. I set up
ample to work with inetd, and I have been able to connect (with
winamp) to

http://sulinsky.homeip.net:1234

When I connect to that url, winamp opens the first song in the
first subdirectory in the musicdirectory configured in
ample.conf.

I have a directory /home/music/mp3s which contains directories,
each of which contains mp3s from an album.  

Problem is, opening he above url with winamp plays the first
song, in the first directory in /home/music/mp3s.  When the song
finishes, it goes on to the next one without any trouble.
However, I want to be able to browse the possible files, or open
up a large list in winamp.  

Your instructions say 

"You can connect with a web browser to an URL ending with
index.html and if it exists) Ample will generate a listing of
available files."

I don't understand what you mean by this.  Can you clarify? 

thanks,
