Re: About .... everything
I found freeamp recently and i really love it. I'm glad you like it. Except for its numerous bugs and 20% more time consuming it beats winamp undoubtedly. Speed isn't something you should worry about (too much) but bugs maybe you should clear all bugs before implementing new features... Well, the tough part about fixing the bugs is that we don't really know what they all are yet. About 2.1beta1 2) there are still warnings wich could should be resolved with casts (i think it's faster to do it yourself than to implement my changes so i'm not sending anything) 3) you're not killing threads correctly. after few minutes there is more than 400 active threads I haven't seen this happen -- does it still happen with beta 3? Beta 3 will be released within a few hours -- please check it out. OK, this was a bug report. (Sorry, but I hate bugzilla.) We would really prefer you to use bugzilla to report bugs. This way you will not report bugs that have already been reported (and fixed!), which will save you and us time. There are more bugs, but I'd like to have beta2 to continue testing. Check out beta 3 -- the bugs you've mentioned may have already been fixed. --ruaok Hindsight is always 50/50.

Re: DiskOut Output Plugin v0.0.1
I just loaded up the 2.0.5 release and select the DSound plugin. I get no sound whatsoever, the volume bar is locked at 100 and i can't move it at all. If I try to move the seek bar, it keeps resetting to the beginning and starts playing again. Never have I heard a single note from the sound. Ok, the changes to the volume I made are in CVS, not in 2.0.5. Check out branch-2-0-6-devel to get at my changes. More bad news. FreeAmp did not close after I clicked the [x]. It disappears, but it still shown as running in Task Manager, so I have to do an End Task to get rid of it. This was simular to what happened to me when I ran WinNT4.0 SB Live! at home, so it maybe related to the drivers to, but I never have had a problem with the regular audio plugin, so it really has to be related to the dsound plugin. I've seen this happen before but I can't reproduce it on a consistent basis. People have been reporting various problems with regards to the DirectSound plugin -- I don't know much about DirectSound so I don't know what's wrong.

Re: Documentation on debug functionality? Also, dev FAQ?
Hi. Is there any documentation on the debug functionality? I looked in player.cpp for relevant command-line options (none), and in debug.h and debug.cpp. How do I turn it on? Not really -- the function Debug_v() is a function that I use as a replacement to printf(). This is my primary debugging tool and it requires a small executable to display the output. However, I usually remove my debugging statements before checking in code to CVS, so there is nothing to turn on. We also have a logging facility, but we haven't really put many logging statements into the code yet. The decode pipeline uses them, but not very extensively either. BTW, I would like to maintain a development FAQ (because I ask so many questions?). Does such a thing exist, or should I just go ahead and start compiling it? Go for it... --ruaok Freezerburn!

Re: Windows NT sound interface code
Now, I am ready to start debugging dual-processor NT hangs that I've been experiencing. I figure I will start with the Windows PMO, but first I have some questions: Dual processor NT with a SB Live! card? If so, do you have another card that you might stick in there just to see if the SB Live! is causing problems? I've heard not so good things about SB Live on NT with multiple processors. 0) There appear to be two PMOs for Win32, one using the Microsoft waveXXX functions, the other using DirectSound. How do I tell which one is being used on my machine? Options-Plugins-Audio Output Be default we're using the soundcard output PMO. 1) What is the state of the DirectSound PMO? Is it actually used in the product (and if so, can it be used on NT 4?)? The DirectSound PMO should work fine -- the only drawback is that there is an extra memcpy in there which degrades performance. The way you write data to direct sound is not compatible with the current buffering scheme that we have (well, not cleanly anyways), which forces us to use an extra copy. :-( 2) According to Microsoft, the latest version of DirectX for NT 4 is version 3. Is this the case? Sounds about right. 3) Who is the main person for these two PMOs? Sylvain Rebaud wrote the DirectSound PMO and maintain that now. I've also rewritten the soundcard PMO a couple of times, and I'm still not quite happy with it. :-( --ruaok Freezerburn!

Re: DiskOut Output Plugin v0.0.1
i can't answer the time stuff, Rob? In each PMO, there is a function called: void HandleTimeInfoEvent(PMOTimeInfoEvent *pEvent); Check this function out -- it sends the time info to the player. These functions are complicated by the fact that they need to be accurate and that the user can seek. Your case is a lot simpler -- just figure out how many samples you've written and convert that to HH:MM:SS and send the event to the player as the other HandleTimeInfoEvent functions do... Let me know if you need more info than that. i think saving the file to the same directory as the source file is the best solution right now. Actually, we had decided that we wanted to save the wav files into a WAV subdirectory of the users' MyMusic directory. To do that, simply call Error GetSaveMusicDirectory(char* path, uint32* len); on the preference object. A pointer to the prefs object is in the context object, which each modules has. So, m_context-prefs-GetSaveMusicDirectory(...) would get the music dir. Append a 'WAV' and you've got your save place. Also, the output plugin should be careful to not overwrite existing files -- it should append a -2, -3, .., to the filename base. --ruaok Freezerburn!

Re: Slider Problem and Compiling question...
First, the slider (volume) problem. When I attempt to adjust the volume using the slider, as soon as I move the control, it sends the actual volume up and pans all the way to the right. A subsequent adjustment of the slider does nothing. I have to open the windows audio panel to reset the volume and pan. I noticed while doing this in the audio panel, the volume slider moves in sync with the volume slider in the window audio panel.

Re: Win32 minimize wierdness
Perhaps someone with more experience could figure out what messages are posted as a result of WINDOWS_KEY+M (maybe using Spy++ or a similar tool) and then figure out why Freeamp isn't handling them? This is the relevant portion of what I get from Spy++ when hitting the Windows Key + M: WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING WM_MOVE xPos = 3000, yPos = 3000 WM_SIZE fwSizeType = SIZE_MINIMIZED, nWidth = 0, nHeight = 0 WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING I'd say something needs to be done to handle the WM_SIZE with fwSizeType == SIZE_MINIMIZED, like checking if the window is already minimized and if not, minimizing it.

Re: Xing Decoder
Hi Sir, Please, call me Dude. Not sir. :-) Thanks for giving me the right direction.. Sorry for not getting back to you sooner -- the FreeAmp 2.0 release was hell since our server started going on the fritz. I got struck with GetHeadInfo() function. This function is MP3 specific -- it may not be much use to you. This function is also a *royal* pain the in butt -- I don't know how many times I've had to tweak it. No wonder its not obvious what's going on. I really dont understand why you are calling head_info3() two times. The second time you are filling the MPEG Header variable(local), sHead. MPEG_HEAD sHead; int iFrameBytes, iBitRate; iFrameBytes = head_info3(((unsigned char *)pBuffer) + m_frameBytes + iForward + m_sMpegHead.pad, iMaxFrameSize - (m_frameBytes + iForward), sHead, iBitRate, iForward); The basic idea behind this function is to seek to the first MP3 frame. Typically a proper MP3 file will not need this function, but a file that is corrupted a the beginning or an HTTP stream where you might get tossed into the middle of a frame requires it. The difficulty of this function is derived from the fact that MP3 frames start with 0xFF 0xF*. This marks the start of a frame -- however, MP3 takes no precautions to not have 0xFF 0xF* appear anywhere else in the bitstream. So, if the MP3 decoder simply advances the stream to the first 0xFF 0xF* it may end up in the middle of a frame instead of at the beginning of a frame. So, when I find a 0xFF 0xF* I call head_info3() to get the stats about that frame. Then I seek exactly one frame ahead and call head_info3() again to make sure that the data I got from the first frame matches the second frame. The sampling rate, MPEG-1 vs MPEG-2 and audio layer need to be same in order for me to consider these frames valid. (Note: You cannot compare bitrate, because of VBR streams) If the data does not jive, I assume that I landed in the middle of an audio frame and seek to the next frame and repeat the process. If the second frame does match, I go one further and look a the 3rd frame to make sure it matches as well. If I get the third match, I exit the function with the input stream positioned at the first valid frame. You are not using 'sHead' anywhere. Could you clarify? You just spotted a bug!

Re: freeamp linux freezes machine
[Again, sorry for not responding sooner] Twice now, I have gone into change the theme, and upon hitting OK, the theme partially appears and then the machine [appears to] hang completely. I can telnet into the box, and X doesn't seem to be running, nor do any of the apps I had running under X. However, back at the box, all keyboard and mouse input is completely ignored. I end up having to 'reboot' from the telnet connection. FYI: You don't need to reboot -- if Ctrl-Alt-Backspace doesn't kill the X, then simply su to root and kill the X process. That should get you back to a login. This is bad. I am not sure what I can do to help track this down What version of GTK and Glib are you running? How about glibc? I would first upgrade GTK and Glib to 1.2.6 and take it from there. (suggestions are welcome), but if it continues I will have to stop testing, I can't afford to have my machine go down like that (various servers running on it).

Re: Xing Decoder...
OK, the xing/mp3 specific functions are: AdvanceBufferToNextFrame() -- this function reads bytes from the input buffer until the head of the input buffer points to a valid MP3 frame. GetHeadInfo() -- this function gets the information about the bitstream (sample rate, MPEG1/2, bitrate) GetBitstreamStats() -- this function calls GetHeadInfo to get the crucial info and it figures out the duration of the bitstream ExtractI4(), GetXingHeader(), SeekPoint() -- these are Xing VBR TOC specific functions Generic functions are: Prepare() -- this is a setup function where the input and output buffers get setup Clear() -- clear the output buffer CanDecode() -- gets called to see if this LMC can decode this media. If the decoder does not see a valid MP3 bitstream it returns an error. GetExtensions() -- returns a list of file extensions that it can handle ExtractMediaInfo -- this function gets called by the player to have the decoder extract stream info using the GetBitstreamStats function. CalculateSongLength() -- this function returns the length of the bitstream. It does not use the input object to read the MP3 stream. There is too much overhead involved with using the input objects, so normal file io is used. This function then calls GetBitstreamStats() to do the work. InitDecoder() -- this function initializes the decode library DecodeWorkerThreadFunc() -- this function is the thread entry point for the decoder DecodeWork() -- this function is the workhorse of the decoder. I'll describe this in more detail BeginRead() -- this function encapsulates the buffering for streams. This function will call the input BeginRead() function if its not a stream. If it is a stream, it will call the BeginRead() function if enough data is available. If not, it stops the play and buffers up the stream for a number of seconds and then resumes the decode process. BlockingBeginRead() -- this function blocks and loops to wait for new data -- it does not return unless there is data or an error. EndRead() -- is the completement to BeginRead() ChangePosition() -- this function is called as a response to a seek. It is given a frame number to seek to. This is too MP3 specific to make me happy. Ignore the Equalizer stuff -- its not supported at the moment. DecodeWork() details: The decode work function will initialize the decoder and do a bunch of housekeeping to get the pipeline moving. Then it will ask the output buffer if there is space for a decoded frame. If not, it sleeps on a semaphore and loops. If there is enough space it will begin a write operation on the output buffer and then it will ask the input buffer if there is enough data for a whole frame. If not, it sleeps on a semaphore and loops. If so, it will start a read operation on the input buffer. Then it will call the decoder to decode one frame. After that it will finish the read and write operations on the input and output buffers and start the whole process over again until the process is aborted or the input buffer signals EOF. Interwoven in this is the event scheme for telling the PMO what's going on. The eventbuffer is an output buffer that also supports passing events to the PMO. The first event that the PMO needs to receive is an Init event to tell it the sample rate and the size of the decoded frames and so on. Before the decoder writes a frame to the buffer it will send the timestamp of the frame to the event buffer via a timeinfo event. This gives the outputbuffer enough information to know what frame it is playing at what time -- this information is in turn passed to the player so the player can display the current time. Finally the decoder will send a quit message which will cause the PMO to finish playing all the samples and then disband the decode pipeline. There are many problems with this decode pipeline -- MP3 specifics have cropped up in various places where the code should be generic, and the stream buffering was added as an afterthought to support HTTP and RTP streams. When we go to FreeAmp 3.0 we're planning on haveing a much more flexible decode architecture that will allow us to have arbitrary data sources, filters and data consumers. This is why I am hesitant to completely documen the current structure -- it may not be well suited to adding other decoders and it will go away in the next few months. I hope this helps. --ruaok Freezerburn!

Re: Fwd: Re: musicbrowser, metadata
I'm pretty sure that's all winamp does, too. But it still plays. :) I've posted a slightly more informative report to bugzilla, along with a link to a file that has an offending tag. Perfect -- I'll get it taken care of before we release 2.0 on November 15th. I don't remember why we made the decision not to use the id3lib stuff, and roll our own. It may have been because we originally had the philosophy that we were trying to avoid users having to get 57 not-commonly-installed libraries before they could compile (this is That was one of the reasons, but more importantly I tried to run the id3v2 code on linux about a year ago with dismal results. Just before I wrote the cheese-ass-let's-read-only-the-most-crucial-T-tags-id3v2-read-only implementation I checked the website for an update and was pointed to MusicMatch, where I could find no mention of an updated library. We would very much like to have full read/write ID3v2 capabilities in FreeAmp, and if you can provide us with a comprehensive library that runs under Linux I'd be more than glad to incorporate it into FreeAmp. Any chances of this happening in the next week? :-) Well, the id3v2 development has been stagnant for almost a year, at least according to the id3.org site and the date of the last id3lib update. As mentioned previously, it seems that musicmatch has taken over the id3lib project, but I haven't been able to find anything on their site that mentions continued development with the library. This itch is a particularly important one to me, as I have quite a few songs with large id3v2 tags and no linux player (to my knowledge) that plays them correctly. I'll continue hacking id3lib to make it usable in linux, and if anyone decides that using id3lib in freeamp would be a good idea, I'd be glad to help with this effort. soapboxbrutalhonesty Do you have a vested interest in ID3v2? Personally, I cannot stand ID3v2. Its obfuscated, too complicated and it tries to save every last possible bit of space at the expense of ease of implemtation. (I have written a complete ID3v2 library in Perl, so I *know*) We could do this much easier with XML. It could be much more powerful and the only ID3v2 code we would have to write it code to translate the existing tags to the XML format. I've even got a rough draft of a proposed replacement for ID3v2 using XML. I really think it would be worth it for us to consider doing this. We can have all the features of ID3v2 and a ton more with a lot of flexibility, with much less code to write. A good standards document (RFC?) and a bare minimum of code and an XML parser.

Re: linux patches for 2.0
Isaac, can you apply these patches? I'm still stuck in windows hell. :-( 1. It was a lot of time for me to get the theme.xml's things out from the code. There should be a howto for it! There will be! However, I need to finish up a few other things before I can write the Howto. Maybe early next week. 2. Is it possible in the not so far future to make some features in the xml format? This is what I'd need: Somehow I need to tell freeamp, that the buttons I us (from the winamp skin) are not in horizontal, but vertical order. It could be like: ButtonControl Name="n" Direction="Vertical" Yes, that's possible, but no I won't have time to do it. Its not all that tough -- go to Control.cpp and look for BlitFrame() that function blits a frame from a control onto a canvas. No rocket science here. Take that function and create a vertical version of it. In the XML it would be best to specify it like this: ControlBitmap Rect="0,34,127,67" Name="Buttons" Style="Vert"/ Making the XML changes for this is trivial. If you create the BlitFrameVertical() and have the ButtonControl::ButtonControl() take a bool bVertical argument, which is used to either call BlitFrame() or BlitFrameVertical() then I will make the xml changes and accept the patch. 3. Does anyone know how to make something like ButtonControl, but without pressing. Something like ControlLabel. Something that looks more like a button, but you can't click on it? Does it have static text or a bitmap in it? I'm not quite certain what you're out for. However, it is easy to create controls -- the controls are finite state machine, and the control defines which states it uses and which transitions it wants to know about. Then the control needs to listen to the transition and take the proper blttting or text drawing action in response to the state change. Once you grok what's going on its easy. I think this is one of the things that allowed me to write this theme interface so quickly... 4. Generally what is the format of the Rect-s?

Hi. As my music collection grows, I've begun to recognize the usefulness of playlists and other types of song list data... So, instead of my usual "put the entire collection on random play", I had a few ideas about how to organize and manage playlists better. It seems that it's always enjoyable to hear songs you haven't heard in a while, and also hear songs that you like. But it's not so nice to hear things you don't like much, or songs which have been playing a lot lately. For the bit about hearing songs which haven't played recently, I found a solution. It just sorts songs by access date, and plays the oldest ones first: /bin/ls --color=none -utr `find $HOME/mp3/songs -type f` | \ xargs -n 256 freeamp But it seems it would also be good if songs could be automatically rated so that the favorite songs would be played more often than less-liked songs. I have done this before by placing songs in various directories that indicate "how many stars" the song deserves. But this is not very practical when trying to keep songs grouped by artist and album. So, what if Freeamp kept a song database which stored information such as "karma", and used this database to decide what to play? Every time you hear a song you like, bump up its karma, and every time you hear a song which you're not too fond of, decrease its karma. This would essentially keep track of what you like, and be able to let you hear what you want. To keep "karma points" fair between new and old songs, and to take care of things which you get sick of after a while, the actual karma value could take other factors into account too. Say, something which balances the total karma points a song has received with its average points-per-play and its most recent point history. This would give high ratings to songs you have liked for a long time and also to new songs which are also good. :) _ _ _ _ ___ ___ "Use the source, Luke!"- ( \/ ( \/ (__ (__ ) | Scott Scriven (Toy Keeper / XYZZ)| \ / \ / // // | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | / \ / / file://_ file://_ | irc:serdevian.dyn.omnipotent.net | (_/\_(_/ (___(___) | http://www.vis.colostate.edu/~scriven/ |

Subject: sigh.
Well, it looks like there are some rather nasty lurking bugs in
gcc-2.95.1; bugs that popped up when things were compiled with -O2 went
away when compiled with -O; I'm beginning to suspect that the alias
analysis code is a bit stricter than a lot of programmers out there.
Anyway, I was getting crashes in code Theme.cpp in ParseColor, when
I inserted the extra lines (@845)
char *foo = oColorstring.c_str();
printf("colors: %s; ocolor: %lx", foo, oColor);
And then the crashing stopped; unfortunately, the printf never showed
itself, and the crash has occured deeper in the code in GTK/glib land:

296pBitmap = new GTKBitmap(oAttrMap["Name"]);
Which isn't inspiring confidence in me.
At this point, I'm thinking of trying the egcs-current source, and
seeing if those mollify any bugs; it looks like the bleeding-edge
template stuff is causing gcc (or me, for that matter) to not be a
Happy Boy. (The fact that linkage problems mysteriously go away
with -fsquangle do not fill me with joy, either.)
ParseColor -- potential problem
I think I may have found a potential problem in ParseColor. I cannot
currently check the mods in -- I'm in the middle of doing a ton of other
things. However, try replacing the function in Theme.cpp with this function:
Error Theme::ParseColor(string oColorstring, Color oColor)
{
int iRet;
int iRed, iGreen, iBlue;
iRet = sscanf(oColorstring.c_str(), "#%02X%02X%02X",
iRed, iGreen, iBlue);
if (iRet == 3)
{
oColor.red = iRed;
oColor.green = iGreen;
oColor.blue = iBlue;
return kError_NoErr;
}
return kError_InvalidParam;
}
I think that passing 3 unsigned chars to sscanf when parsing a %X may not be
valid and result in two bytes on the heap getting trashed. This rev of the
function passes three int and then manually converts them over after the
scanf. I'll check this code in later on in any case, just to be sure.
Let me know if this helps.

Subject: volume gets lost
Well, it really looks like volume is always reset to zero!
(When starting to play,changing song, etc).
I do win98, as usually...
I offer this here patch for
io/soundcard/win32/soundcardpmo.cpp
== cut ==
163a164,165
if(!m_iLastVolume) m_iLastVolume=GetVolume();
196,198c198
waveOutSetVolume(m_hwo,
MAKELPARAM( 0x*m_iLastVolume/100,
0x*m_iLastVolume/100));
---
SetVolume(m_iLastVolume);
== cut ==
This seems to fix the symptoms (well, I'm not entirely sure if I'm doing
right thing, but this seems to do the trick...)
Please, verify.
But then there is another problem:
void SoundCardPMO::SetVolume(int32 volume)
{
// When we begin playing the volume does not get set properly.
// In order to work around that, we'll save the last volume
// settting and then set the volume on the stream after we open
// the stream in init.
waveOutSetVolume( (HWAVEOUT)WAVE_MAPPER,
MAKELPARAM( 0x*volume/100,
0x*volume/100));
m_iLastVolume = volume;
}
int32 SoundCardPMO::GetVolume()
{
int32 volume = 0;
waveOutGetVolume((HWAVEOUT)WAVE_MAPPER, (DWORD*)volume);
(!)volume = (int32)(100 * ((float)LOWORD(volume)/(float)0x));
return volume;
}
These volume (slowly) deteriorates when calling these two.
I think it is because marked (!) line makes it lose precision and
decrease.
I can't think of a way how to stop that, currently - maybe you can do it
better?

Re: theme.ui architecture
I was toying with UI other day, wanted to implement drag'n'drop functionality. I quickly cut'n'pasted code from freeampUI to Theme's Win32Window.h/cpp, so the window started to accept WM_DROPFILES. But then I even quicker got frustrated to death, could not figure out how to get the filenames to PLM. Spent time looking at class hierarchy and could not see a way (well, I'm not speaking inherited virtual functions and other wacky C++ encapsulation/data hiding stuff very fluently). Can you think of something? That's still on our todo list -- don't worry about it. As you found out its not a trivial task due to some weird windows circumstances. Else, I think theme.ui is too damn complex. I think I'll want to draw a hierarchy diagram. I've seen worse. :-) The way the UI is brought up initially is too complex, and I will be revamping that code to make the apply button in the config dialog work. Other than that, I'm pretty happy with how things are organized, given that this thing has to work on multiple platforms that have little GUI structure in common. --ruaok Freezerburn!

Re: UI not showing up under 95/98 fixed!
I just added the seek-bar. Tell me - are vertical sliders supported yet? No -- and I won't get around to that before the initial release. However, it should not be too tough to take the existing slider and make a VSlider. (And rename the existing slider to HSlider) If you want to do that and send me the code, I'll make sure it gets into the release. I think I'd like use one for volume changing - but not in the base window, I don't want to clutter that minimalistic look. I know what you mean -- I've got a minimalistic theme myself... --ruaok Freezerburn! All else is only icing. -- Soul Coughing Robert Kaye -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://moon.eorbit.net/~robert
Re: theme rulez on linux!
1. (I think this is not just the ui, but the base) Volume doesn't save. I always have to adjust it from 0. It's annoying. We should save the last volume in preferences, or not change it, and use the settings when freeamp is started. Yeah, we've heard that a few times -- I've changed things so that now the user cannot change the volume until a piece of media is loaded. This *should* fix that problem. 1b. Why does volume go down to 1/3 when I press prev or next song button??? That's a new one to me. You're not pressing the + or - buttons are you? Those are for adjusting the volume... --ruaok Freezerburn! All else is only icing. -- Soul Coughing Robert Kaye -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://moon.eorbit.net/~robert

I've got a follow up question to that: When and where to theme files get decompressed to? I see two reasonable options here: 1) When FreeAmp starts, it figures out what theme it needs and decompresses it into /tmp/freeamp-$pid/theme (or X:\windows\temp\theme). When FreeAmp closes the files get cleaned up. Pro: Less wasted disk space Con: Slower startup time 2) When the user selects a new theme the theme is decompressed into ~/.freeamp/theme (or X:\Program Files\FreeAmp\themes\themename and it run from there. The themes are never cleaned from the drive unless the user requests it. Pro: Faster startup Con: Wasted disk space I think I prefer option #2. --ruaok Freezerburn!
