[Bug 111292] Re: Midi should always work!
With all due respect, this is something that win 98 seemed to have it right, and 11 years later, here we are, and it seems SO complicated. Good that Intrepid has it solved! Too bad I had to go back to Hardy a couple days ago because of other programs I couldn't get to work :-) Hopefully someone with better understanding on how to follow through that I will be able to get this submitted in a way that those who can fix things will find adequate. Due to my ignorance, all I can say is: bug: MIDI reproduction doesn't work. IMHO it should.

[Bug 111292] Re: Midi should always work!
In Interpid (clean new install) playing of midi files using any GUI player NOT work for me (after spent many hours, i'm only able to play in command line via 'aplaymidi'). But more important that games like doom2, using both native Linux version and win32 via wine, not plays midi music. This should work out-of-box; midi playing seems not to be patented issue. -- Midi should always work! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/111292 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 111292] Re: Midi should always work!
Sorry, in addition to my comment, I must say that I write it about using soundcards without hardware midi playing (and in this case, solution is same for all cases, i.e. soundcard-independent). -- Midi should always work! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/111292 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 111292] Re: Midi should always work!
Understood, but it's not something that this bug can help fix. Install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad for most of the GNOME apps. For doom2, file a separate bug against doom2. For wine, file a separate bug against wine. -- Midi should always work! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/111292 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 111292] Re: Midi should always work!
I'm marking this bug Fix Released. Whlie MIDI doesn't always work, the remaining issues aren't ones that can be solved at a broad level. Sound card configuration needs detailed bugs about specific cards that don't work. Applications that don't work as installed with MIDI need specific bugs about how they do not work. gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad contains a MIDI plugin, so if users install this package, client MIDI works in nearly any circumstance. ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: Confirmed = Fix Released -- Midi should always work! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/111292 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Playing midi files in Nautilus and Firefox works in Intrepid. I think this bug can be closed. I tried the vicfirth site with gecko-mediaplayer and it doesn't work. -- Midi should always work! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/111292 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Please have a look at bug 111555 package gstreamer sw midi playback plugin.

There should be a Firefox plugin, too. Go to http://www.vicfirth.com/education/rudiments/01singlestrokeroll.html and try to listen to the examples.

Thanks for your report. Your idea might get more attention and have the possibility of being implemented if you submit a specification for it. First check whether the idea is already registered [WWW] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+specs, and if so, contact the specification's drafter about your ideas.

[Bug 111292] Re: Midi should always work!
I'd like to vote for this. Just playing a midi file should not imply loading modules, downloading soundfonts etc.. Totem or (insert flaver of audio player) should be able to load a midi file and play it with a standard soundfont/instrument set/whatever for people just wanting to preview a midi file. -- Midi should always work! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/111292 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
