Yes, it is--cf.: http://gjay.sourceforge.net/ There's a package for it in Debian that I've used for a number of years, and the Debian package maintainer just recently became the upstream maintainer; I have a fairly large number of patches that I wrote to make it build and run on OpenWRT/Ben, which I've submitted upstream (so they're in the SF tracker), but I don't think that Craig has had an opportunity to review them all. It's a GTK+ application, but it can also run in batch mode--which is the way that my wife and I are using it on our Bens: we're using MPD with ncmpc (with slightly-adjusted keymaps, more friendly to single-handed operation), with a small Bash script...: http://www.hackerposse.com/~rozzin/mpdjay ... running as a daemon that monitors MPD's play-mode and the position in its play-queue, and then automatically invokes GJay, in batch mode to extend the playlist before it runs out (if MPD is in an appropriate playback-mode, e.g.: not on `repeat' or in `single' mode; more details in the comments in the script...). On top of that, I have a couple of additions to inittab and to the suite of init & udev scripts so that the Ben automatically starts up with ncmpc running in the foreground will problematic system logging suppressed on that console, so that mpd reloads when a new µSD card is inserted, the µSD can be un-mounted from the ncmpc screen, state is properly saved at shutdown, etc. I'm working on tying all of this up into an appropriate patchset to submit to you guys, actually--hopefully I'll be able to send it soon :) Actually, I'm not sure how I should submit my mpdjay script: it seems almost silly to package it up into a release tarball, given how trivial and lacking in `build procedure' it is..., but you're going to need some sort of version-number to use in a package.... -- "Don't be afraid to ask (λf.((λx.xx) (λr.f(rr))))." _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
