Hello, This is my first post here and want to say that I've really loved gnump3d from the first moment I installed it :-).
My question is regarding the conversion and streaming of ape files. I'll relate what I've done, and the problem I have found at the very end. I've been searching the list and have found something similar done with flac files. Here are the steps I have taken: I have added the following line to /etc/mime.types: audio/x-ape ape I have also tried using, to no avail: audio/mpeg mpga mpega mp2 mp3 m4a ape I have compiled and installed mac-port from sourceforge, found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/mac-port/ Also there's a small tutorial about it at http://gimpel.gi.funpic.de/Howtos/convert_ape/ After that, I have added the following lines to gnump3d.conf downsample_high_ape = /usr/bin/mac $FILENAME - -d | /usr/bin/lame -b 128 -h --silent - - downsample_medium_ape = /usr/bin/mac $FILENAME - -d | /usr/bin/lame -b 96 -h --silent - - downsample_low_ape = /usr/bin/mac $FILENAME - -d | /usr/bin/lame -b 64 -h --silent - - Of course, downsampling enabled and working. I have checked that the commands for converting the ape files do work from a command line, the problem I have now is that gnump3d is not recognizing my .ape files as audio files and, thus, not showing them as a choice to be played. I have been playing with the command "file" and modifying the /etc/magic file and /usr/share/misc/file/magic.* files so that "file" would recognize a ".ape" as an audio file (thinking gnump3d was using it to identify audio files) and, indeed, I got it to work, but gnump3d still was not showing my .ape files in any directory. I know I am very, very close to getting it working, so I refuse to give in. Any brilliant ideas? ;-) Regards, David _______________________________________________ Gnump3d-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnump3d-users
