Thanks 666philb(?) for the all new Smtube update in quickpet > video! Great to have this great package back again (something very similar anyway :) ) @Ninotix - thanks also to you for getting a pet together for both Smplayer and Smtube...had missed the notify on this and found 666philb's update for ...

Another solution maybe? This tested in tahrpup 6.0.2 Compton from ppm Following: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=784321 Note: compton.pet from here compiled for FatDog64 and not compatible with tahrpup and instructions from here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2144468 and in t...

Okay, another solution...possibly :? Ifor Screen Tearing/Scroll ripple I have Intel 3rd Gen graphics, but the following was originally suggested for nVidia problems I believe. Reverting from Compiz back to standard jwm in tahrpup I installed compton from puppy package manager. Following advice from ...

@sindi Thanks for the info. I couldn't get youtube-dl to work at all on my setup. Could be version problem I suppose but more likely my weakness with command-line code. I tend to rely on gui packages and can only hope that api v3 is accommodated in one soon. By the way, I still run an iPhone 3g and ...

gtk-youtube-viewer not working for me in tahrpup. Nor is Smtube. Suspect this is down to change to api v3(?) by Youtube? Any workaround possible in these two installed packages?, or is it a question of waiting for updated packages to appear? Thanks. Edit : Apologies, I should have had a look here fi...

@mikeb Sorry for delay. Yes, your "plughw" mod works for me 8) I tested and now have it set to 4.0 At first, I couldn't get DeaDbeeF to play, no matter what output plugin I suggested but as soon as I closed Firefox which I had opened to test on flash (which worked just fine) DeaDbeeF playe...

@mikeb
Only just caught your post after sending mine, sorry. I'll give it a try and let you know but possibly not until tomorrow now. Thanks. All the best.

Yes, had come across those two pages along the way but couldn't get either to work. The "softvol" plugin solution doesn't play ball for me, producing no preamp slider in alsamixer on my setup. Following some of the reply feedback at http://alien.slackbook.org/blog/adding-an-alsa-software-p...

mikeb: ah good ...all seems drastic action to get decent volume don't you think... Yep, I agree. Given that alsa remains the default framework for sound in puppy and given that many people have low vol issues with alsa, it would appear that a pavucontrol clone for alsa would be the best option, sho...

Okay, I found: http://confoundedtech.blogspot.co.uk/2011/12/fix-no-sound-in-adobe-flash-on-linux.html and configured /etc/pulse/asound.conf as follows: defaults.pcm.card 0 defaults.pcm.device 0 pcm.pulse { type pulse } ctl.pulse { type pulse } pcm.!default { type pulse } ctl.!default { type pulse } ...

@mikeb Thanks, I will try to find some info on how to route flash/browser audio but can anyone suggest the necessary code/file setup which would route all audio through pavucontrol? Edit:: I should add that Retrovol still controls the output of all audio (via Master) including the audio from Firefox...

@watchdog Yes, can confirm pavucontrol works and certainly indicates that 150% is possible. Would you happen to know why pavucontrol doesn't register the stream from Firefox flash (e.g. Youtube) This is really my main gripe as, most available audio players have some means of increasing volume indepe...

@watchdog

Thanks, I'll give that a try and feedback later. BTW deaDbeeF player has pulseaudio plug-in and changing to that works, so I'll assume pulseaudio is active.

@watchdog installed pulseaudio-2.0.w53orig.pet did pulseaudio --start and got E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed. in addition to * so uninstalled and tried: http://smokey01.com/OscarTalks/pulseaudio-2.1-i486-w5.pet Would this be the correct one? Noticed it is only 882.k in size Changed co...

@watchdog,

Hi, I'm getting:
Also, and this may be related to above, I hope you'll forgive my (almost) complete lack of knowledge but how do I give execute permissions?

Thanks for your help.I installed pulseaudio_4.0 in puppy package manager. All alsa mixer controls are set to max. From various relevant forum threads it seems that a workaround was possible in Alsa via asound.conf by adding softvol device and increasing volume but don't think this now an option give...

Hi Is there a straightforward way to switch from Alsa to Pulseaudio in latest tahrpup? I'd like to find out if it helps to solve my low max volume with Alsa. Distros I've run on the same laptop which use Pulseaudio don't give this problem I downloaded and installed pulseaudio but have no idea what t...

Hi, I note this thread has been parked up for a while but as I'd been having trouble throughout recent months with video tearing in Puppy distros and found a solution, I'm reporting it here, I have a Lenovo G500 laptop (Intel 3rd Gen graphics) and was getting video tearing in flash (youtube) And gen...

This is SMPlayer and SMTube for Fatdog64-700. They require mplayer-static from the Fatdog repository. libQtScript is the only Qt4 library needed by SMPlayer that is not already installed in Fatdog. That can be found in this same directory as SMPlayer. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4wlewv...
