[»] usability
by Ben Crowell - Jun 21st 2005 08:31:51

I had some major usability issues with xmms. The little text labels on the interface are in fonts that range from microscopic to merely too small to read. One little block of white text looks like it's about four pixels high. And even when I leaned up to the monitor and squinted so I could spell out the letters of some of the stuff that was in less-incredibly-small fonts, I couldn't make much sense out of it. For instance, "OAIDV" doesn't mean anything to me. The contrast on some of the controls is also low, and the 3-d highlights on the luscious, shiny-black surfaces are easier to see than the controls. It looked like there was a number 4 at the upper left corner, but I couldn't tell what that meant. It violates the normal UI conventions of my WM (fluxbox) by not having the [.] [_] [ ] [X] stuff at the top. There is no built-in documentation that I could find, and the About... window doesn't tell me anything, not even the URL of the web site. The blurb on freshmeat says it can play CD audio, but I couldn't get that to work.

    The problem with usability is that the interface was made to
    resemble Winamp's. It's a plus that people used to
    Winamp's GUI can switch over to XMMS easily but for new
    users it's a pain.

[»] xmms's unsmooth track switching
by Stybanez - Mar 9th 2005 07:59:51

Why is it that all players create a big hole of no sound between two tracks? This is very annoying especially when live albums are played. I'd switch to linux if xmms solves this problem!

    mp3 files have silence at the beginning them ALWAYS. There's nothing you can do about it. Rip your live albums into 1 mp3, rip them as some other compressed audio, or just live with it.

      wrong, if the mp3 is ripped correctly, thare are _NO_ blank added

      for the playing part, use the crossfade plugin, which has a 'gapless' mode , of course this will work only for correctly ripped files ..

Do you think you will ever try to take market share from winamp? I use xmms on my linux box and love it, but I hate how big winamp is getting for my windows machine. Regards, Jake Johnson Jake@plutoid.com

[»] no URLs?
by wishes - Jun 1st 2003 19:14:06

Ive had issues with not being able to use Locations (http urls etc) to play streaming.

I thought perhaps it was a debian bug so i removed the debian package and compiled from source and still having the same problems. Is this a known bug? fixable?

    I've use streaming just fine for a long time now, both over the internet, on my lan, and off a LOCALHOST proxy.
    What kind of issues are[were] you having?

[»] ID3V1 Vs. ID3V1
by sandolo - Feb 6th 2002 06:54:51

I can't understand if XMMS supports ID3V2...
It seems that in the playlist XMMS display ID3V2 song names and author, but when you click on the INFO button, only ID3V1 are shown..
Hey, developers, look here! :P

[»] Playlist font...

Start XMMS, press ctrl-p, go to the options tab, and choose another playlist font. That should do it for now.

[»] xmms 1.2.0 problem
by ccms - Jun 14th 2000 15:22:40

Hi! I just installed the new xmms to mandrake 7.1 and it compiles fine from both rpm and tar.gz source, but when it starts it complains that the playlist font cannot be found and it doesn't show any songnames in the playlist. Is there some bug in the version because the 1.0.1 works fine. -Markus-

[»] http redirect patch (for live365 etc)
by Virago - May 21st 2000 18:56:49

As of xmms 1.0.1, the HTTP redirect codes are not handled. Here is how I added support for it.


In file Input/mpg123/http.c, find http_buffer_loop() at line 320.

1. Add 'retry' label after decls at line 331:


struct timeval tv;

retry:
url = g_strstrip(url);


2. Add check for redirect at line 454:

if (status[1] == '2' || status[1] == '3')


3. Add this block of code at line 473 between the while loops:

if( status[1] == '3' )
{
/* redirection -- get location and retry */
while (going && !eof)
{
if (http_check_for_data())
{
if (mpg123_http_read_line(line, 1024))
{
if( !strncmp(line, "Location:", 9 ) )
{
url = line+9;
while( *url == ' ' ) url++;
close(sock);
goto retry;
}
}
}
}
status = g_strdup_printf("Couldn't connect to host %snRedirect to unspecified location", chost);
show_error_message(status);
g_free(status);
}


4. Enjoy!

[»] I must be missing something...
by Jacob Luna Lundberg - Apr 2nd 2000 19:00:34

All I get when I go to http://www.xmms.org/ is somebody's lame "here's my server" page. If it were still yesterday I'd think it was an April Fools thing. Does anybody know where they went?

[»] low CPU usage?
by dbt - Feb 16th 2000 16:28:40

Your version of top(1) probably doesn't understand multithreaded apps. Use time(1) for a more accurate benchmark of CPU usage.
