This is the README for the mpg123-thor package, which ceased to exist with the new mpg123.
|
|
This file is still here for historic reference and perhaps for some info that is not yet in another proper place.

This is mpg123-0.59r with various patches from others and some work of me, Thomas Orgis (<thomas@orgis.org>).
|
|
Please see the file NEWS for what I did and whose patches I used.
|
|
|

The intend of my work on mpg123 was another project of mine: DerMixD, a tcp-controlled audio playing demon similar to and inspired by mixplayd (http://mixplayd.sf.net), but multi-threaded and written in C++ with classes that make extension more easy. This daemon includes a decoder backend for mp3s using mpg123 in remote mode. Thus, it is a "generic" front-end for mpg123.
|
|
|
|
Another point in working on this package came up with the desire to listen to music on my Compaq Alpha machine at work (sorry, so working Output for MME, yet - raw decoding works, though); some specific bugs needed fixing.
|
|
|
|
Mpg123 needed some changes in its beaviour to be really useful for that (and maybe for someone else, too...).
|
|
The control interface (the "API") has been modified and extended a bit; thus the id string on starting is not
|
|
|
|
@R MPG123
|
|
|
|
but
|
|
|
|
@R MPG123 (ThOr)
|
|
|
|
so that DerMixD (or who else) can see if there is a mpg123 that will work as expected.
|
|
|
|
I did not limit the functionality on the package in any way (I hope). Plus, I included bug fixes from Debian (see NEWS).
|
|
|
|
So, there is no reason to not consider this package for general (not only for DerMixD backend) use. One exception may be a frontend that relies too heavily on the exact behaviour of the control_generic interface.

- command must be ended by line break (of any fashion), otherwise:
|
|
|
|
@E Unfinished command: line-without-end
|
|
|
|
- failed load does not exit() program, see two load attemps (load commands are the input, of course)
|
|
|
|
load fg
|
|
fg: No such file or directory
|
|
@E Error opening stream: fg
|
|

Unknown host "hhh".
|
|
@E Error opening stream: http://hhh
|
|
@P 0
|
|
|
|
- added SILENCE command; suppresses playback info
|
|
- EQ command is there (see README.cfa, associated test.pl slightly modified to have line ends on every command)
|
|
- also a SEQ (simple eq) command is there:
|
|
|
|
seq 1.2 3 4
|
|
@bass: 1.200000 mid: 3.000000 treble: 4.000000
|
|
|
|
- JUMP returns the actual reached position, not just the desired
|
|
- slightly different "unknown command" messages:
|
|
|
|
sdfsdf
|
|
@E Unknown command or no arguments: sdfsdf
|
|
df ff
|
|
@E Unknown command: df
|
|
seq r 4.3
|
|
@E invalid arguments for SEQ: r 4.3
