Alsaplayer

[brianinmaine]

WIP - works with the fronter extension only from the command line, as there is no way to kill it (yet).

To play files, I can run it like:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/mnt/us/extensions/alsaplayer/usr/lib ./alsaplayer

then wait a bit, press the play button or the button 3 right of there to load the playlist. Both give you a way to browse for an mp3. When it's finally back to the main play screen, hit play again to play the file. Kind of awkward, but there is a config file available, I'm just not sure how to use it as it is blank! ($HOME/.alsaplayer/config)

I was trying for the old "press the power button to kill it" thing like on the draw extension, but it locks up always.

I have not looked into a quit button yet like twobob did on rgbpaint (awesome!), but that seems the way to go. If you configure, make sure you have libmad0-dev installed, as that is the mp3 lib.

Twobob did it again!

Thanks Brian

A note on getting started patching...

jump into debian, cd to /usr/local/src, get the sources
root@dev:/usr/local/src# apt-get source alsaplayer

get the build-dep's
root@dev:/usr/local/src# apt-get build-dep alsaplayer

jump into the sources folder and check for references to title.

Any way we can get that list down a bit???

would be a bare minimum I would think.


anything else we should be looking at?

./interface/gtk2/gtk_interface.cpp:	md = gtk_message_dialog_new(GTK_WINDOW(parent), GTK_DIALOG_DESTROY_WITH_PARENT, GTK_MESSAGE_ERROR, GTK_BUTTONS_CLOSE, _("Error !"));

I would start there. Then see what I missed.

ALSO: ./interface/gtk2/AboutWindow.cpp:
I kind of recall there being no obvious way to set the "default about" windows sub-title - so perhaps think about eliding it.

Hope it helps.

Hack up the titles (including the ones with spaces)

example:

sprintf(title_string, "L:A_N:application_ID:twobob.alsa.%s", p);


for(int i=0;i <sizeof(title_string);i++)
if(title_string[i]==' ')
title_string[i]='.';

(might have to check I didn't accidentally overrun the length by one)
and maybe that should be strlen...

fix the -fpermissive errors in /usr/local/src/alsaplayer-0.99.80/input/flac/FlacPlugin.cpp

const char * fname = strrchr (f->name ().c_str (), '/');
// char * fname = strrchr (f->name ().c_str (), '/');

Now.... I didn't check a whole host of stuff and you would probably want :PC_N on the titles.


This isn't meant to be a complete guide.
Just thought I would help you quickly over the stumbling blocks.

[brianinmaine]

Looks like your on the way! Go ahead - save me a patch like rgbpaint if you would, that was great! Any idea how to add a quit button? Is that the same also, adding it into the toolbar?

[twobob]

okay.

I'll get it done then.

The quit button has been there the whole time.

gboolean alsaplayer_button_press(GtkWidget *widget, GdkEventButton *event, gpointer data)
{
	if (event->button == 3) {
		gtk_menu_popup (GTK_MENU (data), NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,
						event->button, event->time);
		return true;
	}
	return false;
}

However you don't have a "right click"...

I'll hi-jack the pointless CD button then - try welding it onto there.

This was just supposed to be a help-you-along guide.
There is probably a RAFT of other things that need tweaking...

Hey ho. I'll give it go.
