Composer Tag Support

docgnome — 2012-05-25T21:06:41

Just started using cmus and I love it other than one thing...
Lack of support for the composer tag. I see on the wiki that someone
is working on this and was wondering if that is still the case. Wikis
can sometimes get out of date is why I ask.

If it is, if that developer needs any help, I'd be happy to lend a
hand.

If it isn't true, I'd be willing to take a crack at it.

Compiling cmus on Windows

Semen — 2012-05-23T16:57:18

Hi.
I tried to install cmus from the pu branch on Windows (Cygwin), but to no
avail.

Is this possible to run cmus on Windows? Was it tested?

Hi.
Could you add an ability to quit from cmus without playback stopping?

[PATCH 1/4] add ffmpeg test script

Johannes Weißl — 2012-05-15T19:36:06

This script enables automatic testing of the cmus ffmpeg plugin against
thousands of (relevant) revisions of FFmpeg. Only for (devoted)
developers :-).

Cmus and .m3u files

Storm Dragon — 2012-05-15T16:52:05

Hi,
Does cmus support .m3us if not, I would like to make a feature
request :)
Thanks
Storm

Hi!
Could you add ALBUMSORT tag support (TSOA frame in ID3)?

And what about CUE sheets support? I don't use CUEs currently, I just tried
to test this feauture but I can't load any CUE sheet in cmus...

I suppose cmus should load CUEs automatically when user adds music to
library (It should support both internal CUEs ("CUESHEET" tag) and external
with option in settings "Prefer internal or external CUE"). I think that it
is hard to implement such ideal behaviour, especially with current library
format.

P.S. Execuse me for my poor English.

Is that a cmus color scheme or the terminal's settings?

Feature request, play directory

Storm Dragon — 2012-04-05T04:18:41

Hi,
I would like to be able to play an entire album at once, and I have my
Albums in sub directories under artist names. So, for example, I have
DragonForce/Ultra Beatdown. Would it be possible to make it so that in
view 5 if I put the cursor on Ultra Beatdown and press x that it would
search through Ultra Beatdown/ and play any music file it finds? Or is
there already a way to do what I am asking for?
Thanks
Storm

Can't switch views / play songs / etc. cmus 2.4.3

Colin Williams — 2012-04-02T05:41:53

I compiled cmus 2.4.3 from source on my debian testing system a few months
ago, since there were some dependency issues installing from the package.
It worked fine for many months, but now somethings wrong. I am unable to
switch views using 1-7. I am able to search my library using / , but am
unable to play songs. Before I removed my cache, library, etc. I thought I
might report a bug here.

Regards

Can Cmus Do This?

Storm Dragon — 2012-03-24T23:54:03

Hi,
I am trying to build sound capabilities into a mud client trigger pack.
I am making a soundpack and background music/ambiance for Alter Aeon,
http://www.alteraeon.com/
For command sounds like fireballs, sword slashes, etc I am using sox
because they are just quick clips that take less than a second to play.
Sox also works for ambiance sounds, like in a forest playing bird sounds
and having them pan from one side to the other so it sounds like things
are in different places around you.
The really dificult part, so I am finding, is playing a background sound
for the area. Like, for example, if you are near a stream and the
terrain is stream I would need to play (loop) a bit of running water
sound. But, terrain can change at any time, so if you move to forest, I
need to stop the running water file and load the forest file. It's easy
to do by hand but not so much with code in this trigger pack lol.
So, after all this rambling, my question is, can I get cmus to launch
with no gui, play a file, set volume, and stop playing remotely from
within another program? If so, how do I do it. If it is not possible, do
you know of anything that may work for this?
Thanks
Storm

cue support

Philipp Hartwig — 2012-03-07T09:23:16

Hi all,

I've started to test the cue support recently and in general it works 
perfectly! I'm really looking forward to seeing it in a release of cmus. Today 
I've noticed one minor thing though: Whenever I call win-update to update my 
library (bound to "u" by default) the entries corresponding to a flac+cue pair 
disappear. Is there a reason for this behavior? If not it would be great if 
this could be fixed.

Let me use this opportunity to heartily thank the developers of cmus for all 
the work they've done. I've been using cmus for almost four years now (in fact 
ever since I've switched from Windows to Linux), it has always served me 
perfectly and still it manages to get better with every release (limiting 
a.k.a. live-filtering is really a killer feature!). Thank you!

Regards,
Philipp

Plugin for osd-lyrics

Alejandro Pulver — 2012-03-02T21:06:57

Hello,

I've been recently using cmus, and I like it.

There is a program to display lyrics called osd-lyrics which uses 
plugins to integrate with audio players. I want to write one for cmus, 
but it requires a way to get currently playing song's information.

It seems to use polling, instead of receiving a notification (but I 
could cache the information from status-display-program in the plugin). 
The problem is that the information isn't enough: notification of seeks 
is required to synchronize the highlighted part of the lyrics with the 
song. So there are at least two solutions:

1. Add an option for notifying of seeks in status-display-program.
2. Add a command (so it can be called from cmus-remote) to print the 
currently playing song's path, title, artist, album, duration and 
position, in an easy to parse way like "path = %s\ntitle = %s\n...".

I would prefer the second one, as a pipe to cmus-remote has to be kept 
open anyways (to control cmus from osd-lyrics) and it doesn't require 
manual user configuration.

What do you think about this?

Thanks and Regards,
Ale

found what i've been looking for

Hoti — 2012-02-09T17:23:23

Hi,

since the developement on xmms was stopped, i was looking for a good 
player. i tried almost everything but nothing satisfied me. i always 
believed that a music player needs a click-gui.
BUT: now i have found what i was looking for. cmus is really great. 
since i love vi(m) too, its easy to navigate for me. it's very stable, 
fast and does not need much memory. i really love this player. the 
multimedia-keys of my keyboard are using cmus-remote and i think they 
love cmus too ;-)
i also took a look at the source(just because i am a freak), and it 
seems to be very clear and nice for me. did i already say that i love cmus?




The only things i am really missing are:
------------------------------------------------------------------

1. an id3-Tag Editor. I mean, there are so nice ways to filter the 
music(in playlists and libraries and so on..) and the id3-tags but i 
didn't found a way to edit the id3-tags of a mp3 file in cmus. it would 
be very practical.

2. i am still looking for a way to jump to the actual-played file in the 
playlist. sometimes my randomly played playlist plays a title of a nice 
album and i want to check what songs are on this album else. then i have 
to search for..



PS: is it possible to use regex in the search and filters?



Greetings from a big fan
Hoti

How to play as nature order by add dir order?

Zoom.Quiet — 2012-01-30T03:32:49

happy new year!
- i'm fresh OS X user from chinese,when i under Ubuntu ,plsy music with MOCP
- so enter OS X,only cmus can play music in consol perfect
- now, after cmus 2 weeks, had now question:
    - how to make cmuse play music as my add directory order?
    - just like moc:
        - my music is collation as artist with albums with directory
        - so i can easy add albums directory in file-browser view
        - but cmus play list is control by lib_sort
        - i set as lib_sort=filename albumartist date album discnumber
tracknumber title
        - so when i add some albums from some artist, cmus sorted
auto,and break my want order
        e.g:
        i add c1/a5,a7 ; b1/a2,a1
        i want play orgder: a5->a7->a2->a1
        nut cmus ply as: a1->a2->a5->a7
        because artist b1's name letter order is higher artist c1

thax for any suggest ;-)

Filtering playlists

Paul Kramer — 2012-01-10T14:56:43

Hello,

are playlists currently filterable in cmus 2.4.0 (why is 2.4.0 the 
version of the pu branch?)? I have a playlist with my favorites and 
sometimes only want to listen to one specific band.

Regards,
   Paul

Bug: cmus stops playing mp3 files too early

2012-01-08T16:53:02

Hello!

First a thank you for your great work on cmus!

Usually cmus works nicely for me but now I have a couple of mp3 files that causes problems. cmus seems to underestimate the duration of these files and stops playing too early (the duration displayed is also wrong). The point at which it stops depends on the file.
However vlc plays these files correctly (as well as calculation the right duration). It would be nice if you fix this. Thanks in advance.
