I assume you are trying to change the current working directory to /tmp? Use 'cd /tmp' instead. > woodsm...@woodsmokescomputer:~$ xmms2 addpls shoutcast-playlist.pls. > I heard the sound of a chime. 1) This won't work since it seems you saved your playlist to /tmp. You're in your home directory still. Either type the full path '/tmp/shoutcast-playlist.pls' or first enter 'cd /tmp' as above. 2) I have no idea why you are hearing the sound of a chime. XMMS2 doesn't do that, so it must be your terminal or something else. > Xmms2 play. > No sound. 'Xmms2' is NOT the same as 'xmms2'. Filenames are case sensitive. (Maybe your mail client capitalized this automatically?) Also, 'xmms2 list' is a better way of seeing if the playlist loaded correctly. You may have a problem decoding the actual stream or your output plugin might be misconfigured so you get no sound, but the playlist may still load just fine. Try this: Run 'xmms2 clear' before each of these steps. 1) Open the .pls file in an editor, try copying one of the URLs and adding it to an empty playlist with 'xmms2 add'. Remember to put the URL in quotes. Then run 'xmms2 list' to see that it was added correctly, and run 'xmms2 play' to see that it plays properly. Let's isolate your problems first. 2) Assuming everything worked fine above, clear your playlist again and try adding the playlist with 'xmms2 addpls'. Then use 'xmms2 list' to see if the playlist was loaded properly. 3) Finally, run 'xmms2 addpls "http://classic.shoutcast.com/sbin/shoutcast-playlist.pls?rn=6687&file=filename.pls";' (Groove Salad is an excellent choice, by the way.) Don't forget the double quotes! Now run 'xmms2 list' to see if the playlist was loaded properly. > This is what happened when I went to the folder holding xmms2. Don't say "folder," it makes you sound like a dirty, filthy Windows user. ;) You shouldn't need to cd into the directory with the xmms2 executable, either. '/usr/bin' is in $PATH on sane distributions, which means that when you type 'xmms2' bash will search all the directories in $PATH for the executable with that name. > I repeated the above using the command “add”. 'xmms2 add' won't add a playlist, don't even try it. This has become more of a lesson in using bash than a report of trouble adding playlists to XMMS2. Take Peter's advice and 'man bash'. No doubt some of your fellow developers can help you learn more about using bash, too. For help with XMMS2 on the command line, try 'xmms2 help' and 'man xmms2'. -- Dan Chokola -- _______________________________________________ Xmms2-devel mailing list Xmms2-devel@lists.xmms.se http://lists.xmms.se/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xmms2-devel
