repeat may be broken?

[Storm D. <sto...@gm...>]

Howdy,
I need to play a track with cmus-remote, make it repeat indefinitely, then stop, remove the track, and play a new track on repeat indefinitely. I thought I had it working, but the problem is, the track keeps getting added to the queue, instead of replacing the current track. It seems like -c isn't working. My play string I came up with is:
cmus-remote -s -c -p -l trackname.opus
It almost works, but doesn't remove the first track before playing the new one, so instead of playing the new track, it just repeats the first track.
Thanks for any help

Repeating a Single Track

[Storm D. <sto...@gm...>]

Howdy,
I can't seem to get the repeat flag to work. I need to repeat a track indefinitely. I thought this would work, but it doesn't:
cmus-remote -R -p -q /path/to/file.opus
I can't figure out where I'm going wrong.
Thanks for any help

Re: [PATCH] command-line: youtube: add youtube download support

[Gregory P. <gre...@gm...>]

Hi Bourrahim,

Thanks for the patch. However, I don't think it belongs to cmus' source
code – it is probably much better to have an external script for the
purpose of downloading tracks.

P.S. In the future, please consider using GitHub pull requests, if you can
– it is much more convenient to discuss code there.

[bourrahim h. <bou...@gm...>]

Hello everyone,

  I'm new to cmus devel . I just wrote a small patch that allows user to
download converted mp4 files from youtube , the output is an mp3 file . I
avoided using many dev lib to do that . So i'm using youtube-dl and ffmpeg
via the command prompt . the patch is just for linux users . can be enabled
by using -D_YOUTUBE_DL . here it is

cmus plugin manager

[Alexander Z. <al....@gm...>]

Hi everyone,

I’ve just finished plugin manager for cmus. It helps to install and use colorschemes and plugins easier. 

I started it as a small bundler just for my own needs and then decided to make a project out of it.

The project is here: https://github.com/nogizhopaboroda/cmus-bundler <https://github.com/nogizhopaboroda/cmus-bundler>

Hope, it can be useful for someone. Feedback or bug reports are very welcome.

Re: problem with high-bitrate FLAC on libao backend

Hi Jonathan,

Sorry for late reply – I was on vacation, and since you are not subscribed
to cmus-devel, your message was not delivered until yesterday when I got
chance to approve it manually. Can you please open a Github issue about
this? Nowadays most of the development is happening there.

Regards, Gregory

problem with high-bitrate FLAC on libao backend

[Jonathan <jo...@do...>]

Hello,

I've noticed this exact problem occurring on the latest cmus available from Homebrew, only with libao's backend instead of oss.  Is there any way to apply the fix from this issue to the libao backend?

Thanks,

Jon Lane

cmus 2.7.0 & cmus 2.6.2

[Gregory P. <gre...@gm...>]

29th of June is a perfect day for a couple of new cmus releases: 2.7.0
(major) and 2.6.2 (maintenance). Here is what you can find in 2.7.0:

- conditionals in format strings, with syntax %{?CONDITION?A[?B]}
- sndio output plugin (OpenBSD)
- VTX (libayemu) input plugin
- optional mouse support (:set mouse=true to enable)

as well as:

- lots of new formatting options:
  - format_treewin
  - format_treewin_artist
  - format_trackwin_album
  - format_statusline
- play count support (%X or %{play_count} in format strings)
- Bash completion support for cmus and cmus-remote
- support for CMUS_SOCKET environment variable
- format_print remote command
- pwd command
- auto_expand_albums option is split into
  - auto_expand_albums_follow
  - auto_expand_albums_search
  - auto_expand_albums_selcur

Source code archive can be downloaded from GitHub:

        https://github.com/cmus/cmus/archive/v2.7.0.tar.gz

or obtained via git:

$ git clone https://github.com/cmus/cmus.git -b maint

After getting the source, cmus can be built with classic `./configure &&
make`, as always.

2.6.2 contains the majority of bugfixes since 2.6.0 was released, with no
new features.

Enjoy!

        Gregory

How simple do you want?

sox comes with a little utility called 'rec' that records.

Well, almost everything is technically possible :-)

But I don't think it makes sense to add recording functionality to cmus. I
do not plan to work on this, and I will not merge it into cmus if someone
else does it. Recording is simply not cmus' concern.

 Regards, Gregory

Extend (plugin) cmus (simple) recording function

[Jan B. <ja...@ki...>]

Dear List,
I have a similar idea /request like the last thread:

*> Re: Could cmus increase/decrease playing speed without changing 
pitch? <http://sourceforge.net/p/cmus/mailman/message/33264024/>*

Is ist possible to add a record function (module) to cmus?

Some background information:

Right now there is no recording software for Linux which can interfere 
(easiliy) with something like: 
http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/cpg_support_product.asp?id=1230
CMUS is perfect and easy to use for listening to recorded session and it 
would be very nice to record with the same tool for our office needs.

Audicity is too much for this simple task.

Therefore, I like to know:

a) if this is (technical) possible?

b) What kind of effort (man-power / money) would it take?


Thanks,

Jan

relative paths for playlist (pls) files?

[Will M. <wtm...@gm...>]

Hello,

I would like to use playlist (.pls) files with relative instead of 
absolute paths in cmus.  I would like for cmus to create relative paths 
to files when saving .pls files and I would like cmus to recognize those 
same paths.

For example, at the moment, if I have a playlist consisting of one song:

08 Endless Endless.m4a

And I save that playlist using the following command:

:load ~/Music/playlist.pls

Opening the playlist.pls file shows something like the following (on OSX):

/Users/will/Music/audio_files/Kraftwerk/Trans Europe Express 
(Remastered)/08 Endless Endless.m4a

But I would like for the playlist contents to look like this:

And I would like cmus to recognize this.  I am not sure if .pls files 
even permit relative paths though nor can I see options for changing any 
defaults in cmus.  I'm sure I'm missing something very simple but I'd 
appreciate advice.

Thanks,

Yes, there's nothing wrong with your request, that was just my point of
view ;-)

Hi,

Yes I am aware of audacity and I use it for various stuff but it would be
more convenient to change this on the fly.
I am practicing something for example at 0.8 of its original speed and when
I find myself comfortable playing it I could increase to 0.9 and so on.
Otherwise I would have to create separate tracks for each speed for each
exercise/song or I'll just have to open them in audacity apply the filter
and play it from audacity itself. I understand that it is probably a job
for a library/editing software instead for a player but why shouldn't I
ask. Why can only win from such conversations ; )

Hi,

cmus does not support that (as far as I know) and in my opinion it's not
a feature cmus should support, because it's a player and not an editor.
My suggestion: use an audio editor for such things. A certainly nice and
powerful open source solution is audacity[1], you might want to have a
look at that.

Could cmus increase/decrease playing speed without changing pitch?

[/ v. <ins...@gm...>]

Hello all,

Yesterday it came to my mind that I would surely use such a feature. I am
not sure if it is already implemented as I use cmus from the official
debian 7 repo and the version is pretty old so I decided to ask the list.
And if it is not implemented already do you think that it's worth
implementing? In my case I use it to slow down my guitar practicing tracks
(for the curious , Frank Gambale Chop Builder). Currently I use Windows
(crap) media player to slow down the tracks avoiding the chipmunk effect.
And I only use my windows installation for guitar pro and media player. I
can replace guitar pro with tux guitar even though some features are
missing in tux guitar but I prefer it anyway since the guitar pro support
(I paid for this stupid thing) is awful and the answer is pretty much
"Sorry we don't support Linux, we support only Ubuntu!" (WTF!?). I guess
that I am already in their ban list as I really didn't receive any
responses to my last three or four support requests. Just don't buy this
software! I also found out that I can replace win media player with the
linux media player with `mplayer -af scaletempo` (but there is a catch -
you need mplayer with the scaletempo filter, luckily it works for me). So I
am definitely going back to my linux installation. I just decided to make
some noise and ask what do you think about it.

/v

Re: Keeping some metadata about tracks

[Georgi T. <gt...@gm...>]

(sorry for not replying earlier, I somehow missed this reply)

Thanks for the pointer, Gregory.
However I'm really interested in the 2nd version of my question (adding
some short notes linked to each episode).
Since I'm completely new to this, probably best to look at the samples at
https://github.com/cmus/cmus/wiki first.
Then I'll ask more.

Thanks again!

Latest version of cmus now has play count feature — maybe this can help,
without requiring too much effort?

Keeping some metadata about tracks

[Georgi T. <gt...@gm...>]

I am using cmus to play podcasts and I have many episodes (and there's a
new one each week).
I want to keep track of what I've heard and what I haven't, and of course,
I don't listen in order.

Some obvious options (independent of cmus) are to rename the file, move it
to another directory, edit the ID3 tag, but these are a little intrusive.
I want something that doesn't touch the data, like a text file somewhere on
disk that contains a list of file names.

I want to:
  - add the currently selected track to that file from cmus (after pressing
some keyboard shortcut),
  - display a track differently (let's say in different color) if it
appears in that file.
The specifics will be easy to implement, the question is how to integrate
it with cmus.

I know nothing about cmus development, so any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks!

(In the subject I say 'metadata' because eventually I want to be able to
edit, store and display a one-line note about each track, but again this
should be easy to implement once I have the basic functionality.)

Re: switch back to library after loading playlist

Well, I guess the difference is there for historical reasons, nothing else.
I don't think anybody has seriously tried to make all the commands *really*
consistent with each other.

Re: switch back to library after loading playlist

[Monroe, W. <wtm...@gm...>]

I just tried out a few of the flags and found that the following commands:

:load -q ~/playlist.pl <http://playlist.pl>
:load -Q ~/playlist.pl <http://playlist.pl>

Did not add the playlist to the play queue (-q) or prepend it to the 
play queue (-Q).  I imagine there are good reasons why it should not 
that will become a bit clearer as I get more familiar with cmus. But 
from the standpoint of loading options for different views, I just 
wanted to note the difference.
