I want to help with translation. How do I do that?
LXDE project took over translation responsibility, take a look here
Deadbeef crashes or freezes. I want to report bug. How do i do that?
You need to make GDB backtrace.
Deadbeef takes too much CPU% when playing mp3/ogg/flac
- Try to reduce SRC quality in preferences window (SINC_FASTEST should fit most users)
- Try to check "Use software ALSA resampling" box (This might reduce audio quality but improve performance. Depends on how ALSA is configured)
- If you are using PulseAudio, try to switch to ALSA output
- Switch dmix to use 44100 Hz samplerate if your soundcard supports that. Read ALSA manual for the info on how to do that.
Deadbeef takes too much CPU% when playing APE files
APE files encoded with extreme compression settings may be very CPU intensive to decode. Consider switching to WavPack or FLAC.
Playlist, settings, etc are not saved if I kill X session, shut down or restart computer, etc
That is not fixed yet. But it is work in progress. Please don't bother me with that unless you have a patch that fixes it.
Is it planned to make Windows/WM/WCE/MacOSX/iOS ports?
No
Is it planned to make Android port?
Yes, it is work in progress. I have a working prototype.
What other portable devices does Deadbeef runs on?
People succeeded to build and run it on Pandora and N900.
