For those not in the know, cplay is "a curses front-end for various audio players"
http://www.tf.hut.fi/~flu/cplay/
in ports under audio/cplay
Alright... to my questions (posting them here, an Cc'ing the guy in the ports Makefile and the author, because cplay is "/insanely underground/" and I can't find any user support, docs, etc):
1. How do I get gnome's launcher to play with multiple commands? what I want it to do is change to the base directory of my music library and then launch cplay, I tried all different ways but nothing worked, I ended up just making a two line batch script and launching that, also what I would like to do is launch cplay with a negative nice (cd ~/library/Audio && nice -5 cplay) but being a normal user account you cannot do this, how do I handle that (SUDO? I've never used it, unless it's the same thing as "su"?).
Segway... The man page for nice is misleading, it says to use "nice -n num# command" but we all know that won't work "nice: Badly formed number." it should say "nice -/+num# command", anyways thats real nice nice :-)
2. When I first installed and used cplay I only had mpg123 install and It refused to play some songs for no reason at all (I could play them at the command line with mpg123) so I installed most all the players that cplay can use and copy'd over the default .cplayrc file to my home dir. this fixed the problem but left me wondering if I need all those players installed... So how does cplay/.cplayrc work, does It find the first compatible player for the file type and only use it OR does it pick the first player it finds for that file type and if it doesn't work it moves on to the next compatible player? here is my .cplayrc file:
PLAYERS = [
FrameOffsetPlayer("ogg123 -q -v -k %d %s", "\.ogg$"),
FrameOffsetPlayer("splay -f -k %d %s", "(^http://|\.mp[123]$)", 38.28),
FrameOffsetPlayer("mpg123 -q -v -k %d %s", "(^http://|\.mp[123]$)", 38.28),
FrameOffsetPlayer("mpg321 -q -v -k %d %s", "(^http://|\.mp[123]$)", 38.28),
TimeOffsetPlayer("madplay -v --no-tty-control --display-time=remaining -s %d %s", "\.mp[123]$"),
NoOffsetPlayer("mikmod -q -p0 %s", "\.(mod|xm|fm|s3m|med|col|669|it|mtm)$"), NoOffsetPlayer("xmp -q %s", "\.(mod|xm|fm|s3m|med|col|669|it|mtm|stm)$"),
NoOffsetPlayer("play %s", "\.(aiff|au|cdr|mp3|ogg|wav)$"),
NoOffsetPlayer("speexdec %s", "\.spx$")
]
My installed players are: splay mpg123 mpg321 mikmod
3. Is there a way to launch cplay from my web browser (firefox) when I click on a mp3 stream to listen too, I only briefly looked into this so it my be a very basic question. currently I just save the .pls files to ~/library/Audio/Netradio and then just queue them up with cplay.
Dam Jochem, can I be your friend, I need the number for the 2nd girl on the right?: http://jk.yazzy.org/images/hccza62.jpg :-)
