needed plugin ports -> audacious?

I would like to see the projectM plugin updated. The plugin already exists for audacious here but it is a somewhat outdated version (0.97). I would love to see an audacious-projectm-0.99 plugin.

Dolby Digital support (AC3) would be nice.

Included by default.
Please what are doing that rest of us dont to get that plugin to play internet streams
The AAC plugin will never support streams.

There's many reasons for this, the main one being that Shoutcast has a tendency to lie and say the stream is MP3 when it isn't. Audacious 1.x's design doesn't handle that well.

Sorry to hear this. Isn't it possible to steal some code from VLC and include it in Audacious? I am saying it as a user not a programmer, but it seems to me that if it is possible to write the code capable of stealing elections using Diebold voting machines that noone would notice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEzY2tnwExs (just to prove my point) than it is even more possible to port opensource program capabilities to onother program. I kindly ask for reconsidering writitng it and I am sure others would welcome it as well.

One major blocker towards doing that is that with 1.2, we have frozen the 1.x API.

We may revisit that in 2.x, though.

It would also be useful a plugin to play .cue sheets directly.

Keep up the good work!

APE plugin at http://www.netswarm.net/misc/audacious- ... .2.tar.bz2 via joker@g.o

Shorten is in progress.

Cuesheet support is present in 1.2 for what it's worth.

I don't have a joystick, but I can try a rough port of it.

There exists some code in plugins SVN, it should work, but it probably won't. For some reason, it just locks up on my powermac, which is the only machine available to me at the moment.

Quite valid point I can sleep with for now, which however would not stop me from lobbying for it in 2.0 once work on it would start

Now something form completly different barrel
xmms-singit http://stud.fbi.h-da.de/~glogow/ -- its just nice and still in development (2006-08-02)
xmms-cube http://voidpointer.org/ --- because there can never be to many supported audio formats

I'd also like to see support for current projectm.

While I'm on the topic, I'd also like to see the projectm ebuilds make it into the portage tree. I've never had a problem with them. Why are they not in there? Its a category-killer visual plugin.

waiting for it to be in portage.
is there any estimation when audacious-plugins will be available including this one?

MAC is non-free (licence is legally encumbered), and thus cannot be included in audacious. It can only be distributed by thirdparty.

If you like trippy visuals, you might like this: http://people.atheme.org/~nenolod/audac ... meline.php

It's in SVN if you want to play with it. As for projectM, I need to update that, but it will have to wait until I am sitting infront of my amd64 machine, which is not where I am at the moment.

gkrellmms and xmms-alarm is what I need to be happy with audacious

Corona688 · Post by **Corona688** » Fri Nov 03, 2006 9:54 pm

xmms-synaesthesia. I've tried porting it, but I know nothing about GTK, causing it to spew error messages like... something that spews error messages when I try to compile.

I really like the xmms-status-plugin as it enables me to control all important functions with one click. I configure play, pause, forward, backward, volume control etc. to my mouse buttons using some modifier keys (shift etc.). The audacious-docklet comes closest as a replacement, but needs two clicks for each action. There is also no way of binding actions to mouse buttons.

Having the xmms-status-plugin for audacious would be cool. In fact, this is the reason why I didn't already go for audacious months ago.

I would like to have seeking support in audtool. Like xmms-pipe can do ((skipf : skipb) [<sec>] Skip <sec> seconds forward/backward)

THANKS!

Can you provide a URL to it?

In the meantime (until the next version or you switch to SVN), xmms-pipe has been ported to Audacious. It can be found here:

I know that modplug and dumb are supposed to be better, but I'd like to have mikmod for the formats it supposed that the others don't. Sadly, I even have some uni files. Also, I haven't tried it yet, but if audacious doesn't support compress files (at least for mod files), I'd really like to have that. Modarchive distributes it's files in zip files inside tar files. I unpack the tar files, but not each of the zip files. Xmms could handle that.

I second that - I need the equalizer because my Logitech speakers won't work without the subwoofer, the setting on which goes from "mega bass" to "call the cops".

Edit: actually the built-in EQ seems better than I remember the built-in XMMS EQ being, so maybe not so essential...

Eddward · Post by **Eddward** » Sun Nov 05, 2006 7:45 pm

Well, to answer one of my own question/requests, audacious does handle zip files. I haven't tried others, but I would hope/guess they'd handle gzip too.

That is great, but this should be added to portage so that it can be emerged. I have searched bugzilla, but I see no bug asking for audalarm to be included to portage.

Also, an ebuild would be useful.

Audalarm should be included in the next version of audacious-plugins. It is already in the Audacious SVN repository. It might be a little while, but it's coming.

If someone is interested. I have created a itouch plugin for audacious. Some of the code is borrowed from xmms-itouch plugin, but this is not a port.

Please note that the plugin handles only play, stop, prev track, next track, mute, volume up and volume down. If you need support for other multimedia keys use x11-misc/hotkeys.

Screenshot: here
Download: here
md5 for the package: here

The plugin will be hosted on SF.net as soon as the project is approved.

UPDATE: iTouch-Control is now hosted on SF.net. Project page here

Yay!... I was hanging out for this plugin. When I get home tonight I'll give it a whirl. Thank's for doing this paskov!

UPDATE: Compiled and installed perfectly. Thanks paskov!
