Re: Guinnea Pig Wanted...



Here's the tar file, there some simple instructions in there.
 
Excuse the blandness, and excuse the name, it's a _P_erl j_UKEBOX_, hence pukebox. :-) Future versions will look better, and maybe have a nicer name (any ideas?)
 
I really would appreciate any comments or suggestions. If you REALLY don't like it, tell me, if it's got potential, tell me. If you think it's excellent and I shouldn't bother doing any more work to it :-)
 
As for your network problem, mpg123 does support network audio, with something called NAS :
 
    @echo "make bsdos-nas      BSDI BSD/OS with NAS support"
 
though I havn't looked into it any further. I presume you want to decode on one machine, then actually play on one or more other machines? It was something I was interested in at work, having a kind of office radio station as it were. Before I left I started to browse the various internet radio station sites to see if there was a sniff of what they were useing, but I didn't get very far before I left for a new job.

Stuart, if you're interested I'd be delighted to test it for you.

I can test on two machines -

  • Old P5-166, SB AWE32 through AV equipment
  • IBM Thinkpad 770ED o/b sound through front speakers
And on these linux distributions -
  • RHL 4.2, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 6.0, 6.1
  • RHL 6.0 - heavily modified [thinkpad, unchangeable]
  • Corel v1
  • Definite v7
  • Slackware [v3?]
  • And my friends system, don't know what it started as but it's evolved it's own life now :)
Don't suppose you have multi-node network streaming coded in ? I'm having problems finding any player that can do this :( Only option so far seems to be to access an mp3 on a different machine - not good.

Anyway, let me know

Calum

I have written an MP3 Jukebox application for Linux, and I was wondering if
anyone here is willing to give it a test?

I say it's written for Linux, but it uses a browser as it's front end, so
you can actually operate it from any platform.

There are a couple of bugs I want to iron out (it doesn't like ' or & in
song titles at the moment) but I should have that done by the time I get
some replies back.
