xmms crashing?

dtw · 2004-09-12 19:01:10

is anyone having probs with xmms crashing? i had a serious corruption on my home partition today which may have something to do with it - but when ever i try to play a file it just locks up - it also does it if i run as root tho

I'm using xmms 1.2.10-2 and I have no problem. Have you tried playing your files with another player? Maybe the file got corrupted.

No problems here with xmms.

dtw · 2004-09-13 08:24:04

well i have tried playing several files - i'll try some more - alsaplayer works fine

xmms will open the song and start scrolling the title etc but as soon as you click on play it freezes - i tried reinstalling it but no good

what output plugin you guys using?

lanrat · 2004-09-15 20:21:02

I'm using alsa output plugin and it works fine in xmms and bmp-cvs too. Maybe you should try bmp? Or maybe it's some device/file permissions problem? If you have any visualisation plugins turned on you shold probably turn them off too.

it's xorg R6.8.0

i was not able to reproduce this xmms crashing, but now, as i'm using R6.8.0, it crashes on start always with this:

Gdk-ERROR **: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  serial 2651 error_code 8 request_code 72 minor_code 0
Gdk-ERROR **: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  serial 2652 error_code 8 request_code 72 minor_code 0

rebuilding against new xorg do NOT help - still the same

what helps: removing ~/.xmms makes it at least start and play music again, but e.g. if you hit [ctrl]-D to make it double-size, it crashes again the same way

i think, it's a xmms bug itself

i think it was arts related - i googled for the error and found related bugs in the xmms dbase. it was all to do with arts - so i looked into how i was supposed to have my sound set up cos i botched it a bit the first time. i am now fully alsa output compliant with no arts at all and no xmms crash. i even have sound from both speakers! i have not upgraded to xorg 6.8 and i don't think i will as it does not seem worth it - i can't see any benefit so far!

hmmmmm - more weirdness - the alsa set up is working fine - but some of my mp3's - all from a specific album for example and some others - seem to cause my cpu trouble! when i play them the cpu jumps up to around 50%! all my others it happily sits at 0% - any suggestions as to why? different encoding i guess - but i can i improve playback with tweaking?

I'm also having xmms crashes with xorg 6.8. It had worked fine till now. It crashes on song changes.

as workaround (for elementar functions) i removed the ~/.xmms dir (moved it to other place - to backup my settings) - then xmms was at least able to play things (double-size and other things still make it crash)

Thanks dp, but I just decided to go back to 6.7 that has worked much better for me.

yes, that's a better solution, if you can --- i have amarok and hope that soon, this will be fixed (i tracked it down to gtk1 or some dep to it to be rebuilt, but not sure and also no time -- exams are more important now ;-) )

try bmp, (pacman -S bmp), it's a GTK2 port of xxmms

my thread has been hijacked!

dtw · 2004-09-18 22:49:28

i found a patch for gkrellmms that makes it for bmp!

but i can't get it to work - maybe it is against cvs?
