aze Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Hi guys! I'm using mdk 9.2 and xmms started to locking when I click on its play button. What's going on? I am a newbie but I use mandrake since version 7.02 and xmms always locked! always! I'm tired of xmms locks! Don't you guys know a better player than xmms? I can say that the problem isn't the sound server because i run other programs which play sounds and they work with no problem. I already tried to remove my xmms personal settings folder but it still to locking! i just want to listen my mp3s! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kuchwas Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 (edited) Open a terminal and start xmms from there; see if you get error messages. There are no debugging switches, -bash-2.05b$ xmms --help Usage: xmms [options] [files] ... Options: -------- -h, --help Display this text and exit. -n, --session Select XMMS session (Default: 0) -r, --rew Skip backwards in playlist -p, --play Start playing current playlist -u, --pause Pause current song -s, --stop Stop current song -t, --play-pause Pause if playing, play otherwise -f, --fwd Skip forward in playlist -e, --enqueue Don't clear the playlist -m, --show-main-window Show the main window. -i, --sm-client-id Previous session ID -v, --version Print version number and exit. What Mandrake verson?, [edit] whoops 9.2 what XMMS version? what desktop? what sound server? Edited December 22, 2003 by kuchwas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 xmms is about as good as it gets depending on your needs I guess. I use Rhythmbox the most though. the question is what plugin do you have xmms using? Open options>preferences....what Output Plugin are you using? If you use kde/alsa you can disable the arts sound server at startup and still have sound. There are xmms plugins for alsa, arts, esd....is oss built in? I think so? ?alsa/oss ?sound server as kuchwas said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Some other players ...xine and mplayer. When you install all the plugins on these I think there is not much you can't play ...mp3, ogg, wav, quicktime, vcd, dvd, ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkelve Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 (edited) Totem is also quite nice when you want to play music files. Basically it's a graphical user interface for Xine. not sure if it plays mp3's, although I think it does.
