pCD 1.5 - CD-audio player

[zigbert]

Version 1.4
See main post

Changelog
- Bugfix: New disc-scan after 'No disc insterted' message (thanks to don570)

[don570]

I didn't notice any change in the new version pcd 1.4
I still get the 'no disc inserted' message in the window
if I launch pcd and then insert the Audio CD.
Tested on luci 241 . I have no internet access.

So there is more.......

I have added a 1 sec sleep in line 20 (/usr/local/pcd/func), to wait for the disc to spin up. Does it help you? Please try pCD-1.4-1 in the main post.

It seems that the disk drive icon has to appear on the desktop before clicking 'Read CD' which can take sometimes several seconds. Clicking 'Read CD' immediately after inserting the CD `pcd` showed no disk inserted, Clicking 'Read CD' another time before the drive icon appeared also no disk inserted, Clicking 'Read CD' immediately after the drive icon appeared just unknown artist and track #Nrs. The FOURTH Clicking 'Read CD' then showed the retrieved Data.

I also looked into the code and gtkdialog is poorly documented ... google for gtkdialog3 and you'll find zigbert and murga linux

Code: Select all

<button>
     <label>$LOC204</label>
     <action>$APPDIR/func -stop</action>
     <action>eject</action>
     <action>for i in \`ls /root/.pcd/tmp\` ; do echo > /root/.pcd/tmp/\"\$i\" ; done</action>
     <action>sleep 1.4</action>
     <action type=\"clear\">ENTRY_ARTIST</action>
     <action>refresh:ENTRY_ARTIST</action>
     <action type=\"clear\">ENTRY_ALBUM</action>
     <action>Refresh:ENTRY_ALBUM</action>
     <action type=\"clear\">CDDA</action>
     <action>Refresh:CDDA</action>
     <action type=\"clear\">PB</action>
     <action>Refresh:PB</action>
    </button>

is working on dpup-005 but with warnings ( of which I get a lot from seamonkey, abiword and other apps here )
** (gtkdialog3:4382): WARNING **: gtkdialog: Warning: Clear not implemented for this widget..

[don570]

I tried pcd 1.4.1 and I'm still getting 'no disc inserted'
messages if I launch pcd first.

I tried terminating my DVD burner differently to see
if that would change anything, but no difference.

I wait to see desktop drive icon before clicking 'Read CD'
Am I the only one with this problem?
I have an IBM M41 desktop machine.

The warning is not critical. <action type="clear">CDDA</action> is not a legal call for a <entry> or <tree> widget. It works well without this. A clear-call is used with the <table> widget.

Anyone else got this trouble ???

1. Launch pCD without an audio-CD in drive
2. Insert Audio-CD
3. Wait for CD-icon show up on screen
4. Click the 'Read CD' button in pCD.


Thanks

I have included this into the next release:

Code: Select all

    <button>
     <label>$LOC204</label>
     <action>$APPDIR/func -stop</action>
     <action>eject</action>
     <action>echo > $WORKDIR/pcd-ARTIST</action>
     <action>echo > $WORKDIR/pcd-ALBUM</action>
     <action>echo > $WORKDIR/pcd-cdda</action>
     <action>refresh:ENTRY_ARTIST</action>
     <action>refresh:ENTRY_ALBUM</action>
     <action>refresh:CDDA</action>
    </button>

Thanks a lot for your input

4. Click the 'Read CD' button in pCD.

This is exactly what I have been doing, but it results in
the 'no disc inserted' message. However the player
does play the tracks beginning with one .

I installed a copy of pcd 1.0 and this solved the problem.

I checked pcd 1.2 and it has the problem,
so I'll take a guess and suggest that the problem
started when you introduced some new features in pcd 1.2.

Nobody else has complained about this in half a year,
which is surprising.

I think I spotted an error in the filename of a local
when I looked in the folder containing the locals.

...but I don't think it affects the application at all,
since it still displayed the German labels.

Some expert perhaps would solve that.

pCD is a discontinued project, but the code is still alive as the CD-module in pMusic.
The code has evolved since the last release of pCD, so it would be helpful if you could test your french issues in pMusic?

Thank you

[Pelo]

yes, zigbert, i listen to you. I do it now, right now.
Continuous progress in process : i try to launch Pmusic with VLC front-end, that would be nice. Feed back soon .
vlc-gtk 2.3 by sc0ttman
thanks to zigbert, trio, technosaurus and dejan555
VLC no gui, by scottman being translated, by me, to understand how that works and if pcd could be changed.
VLC-GTK 2.3 Barry kauler info pet available in Wary 5 repo.

[zigbert]

That pMusic is terrible old !

My screenshot shows the latest pMusic when running the CD frontend
