Which Gpe Applications Are Missing

[darmou]

How good would this version from ipkgfind be?

I've got gpe-nmf from koens feed along with a whole heap of cool stuff:

src/gz koen [a href=\"http://ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl/sfeed]http://ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl/sfeed

warning, gpe-nmf seems to be very unstable and crashes frequently.

I managed to get mplayer working just by adding the opie feed and ipkg install -d sd mplayer

Maybe you can try the binary from my side where I did a lot of corrections.
(I don't know why but for me only OSSINK works and not the default sink wj8ich may change the bahaviour, but would be interested what's the result there)

I tried your version, it segfaults every time I try to add something to the play list sigh

It might be the libraries I'm using.

Here is the console output:

You're right.
Should be corrected now.
Please do also download libgpenmf.so.0  ...

pungipungi, I haven't tried your binary on my poodle, but with the one from the test5 feed all I'm getting is a message box saying "unable to start playback". Here's all the output when started from the command line:

thanks for the help.

I can play all of my mp3's directly using mplayer, so AFAICT it's not mplayer.

It uses gstreamer though, not mplayer (from the output at least).

What does this assertion refer to?

Good point. I always thought that nmf was an mplayer front end, and didn't know what gstreamer was.

(gpe-nmf:6729): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_element_get_pad: assertion `element != NULL' failed[div align=\"right\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I searched around on the [a href=\"http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org]gstreamer homepage[/url], but couldn't find any references to that error.

The only reason I'm fighting with nmf is that I really need some sort of a music player to justify sticking with GPE (and I do want to stay with GPE). Didn't there used to be gxine in the feeds? I don't see it in the test5 feeds. I'm (almost) happy with just using mplayer in a terminal window, except that there doesn't seem to be a way to prevent the Z from sleeping (under the 2.4 kernel, that is).

... uuups I didn't understand what you meant with mplayer ...

Try this first to see if gstreamer works:

Code: [Select]

gst-launch filesrc location=/media/cf/Music/KISS_I Was Made For Loving You.mp3 ! mad ! osssink
On my machine only ossink works.  god knows why ....
I think default is esdsink for gpe-nmf

If that works than you gpe-nmf should work in principle

if only ossink works then give that a try:
NMF_SINK=osssink gpe-nmf

I would propose to use my binary (the sigsegv which was reported is already fixed ...) and my lib since you get the state of the player like:

Code: [Select]

player 0xa0838: play item 0xa3df0 [/home/woody/Documents/Music/Williams, PATRICK_THE STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO2.mp3]
new thread
set_volume -1 255
player 0xa0838: elt 0x15d858 state 1 -> 2
player 0xa0838: elt 0x15d858 state 2 -> 4
player 0xa0838: elt 0x15d858 state 4 -> 8
ti
Playlist Index : 85
player 0xa0838: elt 0x151f50 state 1 -> 2
player 0xa0838: elt 0x151f50 state 2 -> 4
player 0xa0838: elt 0x151f50 state 4 -> 8

[grog]

Here's what I get:

Code: [Select]

grog:$ gst-launch filesrc location=kiss.mp3 ! mad ! osssink
WARNING: erroneous pipeline: no element "mad"
         Trying to run anyway.
RUNNING pipeline ...
Execution ended after 1 iterations (sum 4753000 ns, average 4753000 ns, min 4753000 ns, max 4753000 ns).But I decided to try your binary + lib anyway, but no joy:

Code: [Select]

grog:$ gpe-nmf

You could alsp use mpd and gmpc or glurp to play music. I myself use mpd and ncmpc. I also have some shell scripts which I use with mpc to control mpd and also another script that I run when the hinge button is pressed in order to make the bl and all work (in kernel 2.4 with keylaunch, that is).

I took a look @ [a href=\"http://www.musicpd.org]MPD[/url]. Seems a bit overkill for what I need. I very rarely have network access when listening to music on my Z. I'll keep on working on trying pymp. thks

[JohnX]

It might be overkill in terms of features, but it's very light on memory and CPU usage.  It's fairly painless to setup as well. Need to edit /etc/mpd.conf with some basic settings (alsa or oss, /dir/where/the/music/is,  that kind of thing.) The interfaces are a little more stable and usable than the gpe-nmf.

EDIT: I Just looked at pymp.  Seems rather intestesting. Maybe I'll try and get that working to.

Where can I get some ipk's for it?

Let me know if you do . The only roadblock is that there doesn't seem to be an ipk availabe for python-pygtk. I pm'd mikeyl about it (he maintains the python-pygtk-dev package), but there's been no reply yet.

thks

[JohnX]

I made and posted ipks a while back, but got little interest. That thread is over here.

I'm pretty sure they should still work with current versions of GPE.  If you're building GPE from OE, it would probably be best to compile them yourself to ensure they depend on the right versions of software. If there are any dependency or installation issues respond to that thread and I'll see what I can do about fixing them. Also, mpd needs an /etc/mpd.conf . Documentation on that can be found on the mpd website.  If people have questions, posting in my thread about mpd will get the fastest reponse, since I'm subscribed to that thread but not this one.

I would like to see kopi for gpe.
