* bad for scripting

2003-10-16T04:53:14Z

the * displayed beside the currently playing song is VERY
bad for scripting. Every time I try something like.

currentsong=`xmms-shell -e list | awk -F'*'`
or better yet.

xmms-sell -e list > currentplaylist
grep "*" currentplaylist

The grep will print out all the files in that folder. It's a very
odd bug on grep's part, however. I figured xmms-sell was
written for bash scripting.

I have a script that uses a hacked version of xmms-shell.
Am I legally allowed to post it on my site so people can use
that script?

window toggles don't work as expected

2003-02-27T06:56:24Z

Using the 'window X toggle' function does not work as
expected. The main problem is that doing a toggle on
any window will automatically cause ALL other windows
to be shown, whether they were or not before. So, if I
have the main window open and the EQ and playlists
closed, and do "xmms-shell -e 'window playlist
toggle'", both the playlist AND the EQ window will
appear. Running the same command again will hide the
playlist window, but the EQ window will remain open.
Similarly, if ALL windows are hidden, running a toggle
on any window will cause them all to appear. If the
main and playlist windows are open and 'window playlist
toggle' is performed, the playlist will toggle, but the
EQ window will appear.

Further, running 2 commands sequentially to "fix" this
problem, i.e. "xmms-shell -e 'window playlist toggle';
xmms-shell -e 'window equalizer hide'" has even weirder
behavior (is this a "race condition"?)- sometimes both
windows will pop up and then disappear instantly,
sometimes both will remain open, and sometimes the
playlist will open and the EQ disappear, as expected.
Putting a 'sleep 1' between these two commands seems to
give it enough time to work properly, but is an
annoying side effect if the point is to try to toggle
the playlist alone w/ a hotkey.

This is with debian/unstable packages xmms 1.2.7-1.1
and xmms-shell 0.99.2-1.

segmentation fault for -e status

2002-11-06T07:11:54Z

There seems to be a bit of a problem with the latest
release of xmms-shell.
I've got the latest versions of just about everything i
think is needed but xmms-shell is giving a segmentation
fault immediately after it has obtained and printed the
balance value when the command "xmms-shell -e status"
is given.

crash with empty playlist

2002-10-24T09:54:08Z

xmms-shell 0.99.3 crashes with an empty playlist. This
is caused by the track title in the prompt.

To reproduce this, type the clear command.
The attached patch fixes the problem for me.

Compilation error on FreeBSD 4.5

2002-08-23T12:23:34Z

xmms-shell does not compile on FreeBSD 4.5, it
stops with the following error message:

Any hints here?

'window' buginess

2002-07-19T08:46:09Z

In xmms-shell 0.99.0 with xmms 1.2.7, the following
weirdness ensues:

window all show: nothing happens
window main show: shows eq and playlist, but not main
window equalizer show: shows main and playlist, but not eq
window playlist show: shows main and eq, but not playlist

All toggle and hide variations seem to work.

Bug or feature?? Looks like bug to me. :)

Can't load files separated by space.

2001-10-23T14:10:28Z

xmms-shell doesn't seem to be able to load files that
are separated by spaces. For example, I tried the
following command:

load /home/user/mp3/artist - title.mp3

and also the following

load "/home/user/mp3/artist - title.mp3"

None of them seemed to work. Is there another method
to load files separated by spaces that I'm missing?
Thanks.

xmms-shell -e forward isn't random

2001-02-28T07:31:16Z

Even though I have xmms set for random play, running
"xmms-shell -e forward" always moves forward one song,
rather than picking one at random.
