Great! Thanks for this Zigbert :)
I wonder why it works so much better than other players when they use digital playback...

Code: Select all

~# pcd
(gtkdialog3:28261): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to set text from markup due to error parsing markup: Error on line 1: Character ' ' is not valid at the start of an entity name; the & character begins an entity; if this ampersand isn't supposed to be an entity, escape it as &
EXIT="Ready"
Pcd says

Code: Select all

Artist:     Don Francisco
<b><tt>Album:<span size='large' color='#15963B'>   Genesis & Job</span></tt></b>
Year:      0
I guess it probably doesn't like the "&", so we need to figure out what characters are valid in cddb fields (and cdtext if pcd will support it) :(

Also, some of what you said before seemed to imply that it should display the track length even when there is no cddb entry, and maybe also titles from CD text... was that right or did I misunderstand? Because it doesn't.
Maybe I need to look at the code when I get a chance :)

Version 0.3 is better than 0.2.
If I run pCD, then put an audio CD in the drawer and close it...
Xfmedia still auto-plays the audio CD, but...
If I close Xfmedia down...
I can highlight a track in pCD and hit the Play button and it actually plays. :D

How do I change to pCD as the program to auto-run?

Hmmmmm...

Working great V-0.3... but the 'read cd tex't is not working for me. That "Misdirection" cd I posted results of earlier in this thread is not showing up... it plays... but "artist=unknown"... etc.

Nice so far though 8)

The only way I could test the internal CD-text (no web) was to burn my own audio-CD in Pburn with CD-text info. That worked well. It would be great to hear if pCD fails with that unique disc, or if it fails on several......

Great, thanks for the new version :)
1. When I am connected to the internet, it displays the names of the songs twice, i.e.

Code: Select all

1 'Come AwayCome Away'
Could this be because it is getting the information from both the cddb and the CD-text?
2. It doesn't close everything - if run from a terminal, after I click "stop" then "quit", it keeps echoing

Code: Select all

sh: line 1: 10306 Broken pipe             cat /root/.pcd/tmp/pcd-playing 2>/dev/null
[/code]

I'm very interested in your output for the disc which has both internal cd-text and cddb info. I don't own such a cd. Could you please post it here.

BTW the tracks don't all have their track numbers displayed in line - I guess because my gtk is set to use a different font (Arial). Maybe we need to either put the track numbers and times in separate columns (instead of just spacing them out), or tell pcd to use a monospace font or something.

So this means that removing cddb=1 from line 56 in /usr/local/pcd/pcd fixes it......???? - not reading the web cddb info.

Coming on well zigbert! Thanks for adding the "rip" cd button.

I had a problem today with a generic "unknown artist - unknown title" disc of tracks from a jamming session I made (Im not a pirate honestly!!!!) :lol:, it did say that it was playing (via the progressbar) but no sound came out. Same cd played fine with gxine (on Puppy 4.2.1 beta 2).

Also, the shortcut that is created in /root/my-applications/bin (for the pWidgets tray) is missing a graphic icon...perhaps another opportunity to show your artistic side 01Micko?

Would it be possible to start pCD automatically when an audio CD is inserted?

I forgot to mention that the 'copy CD' button will be enabled as soon as you install Pburn-2.4.0

Version 0.5 running, first run Pburn was inaccessible, second run ok, proceeded to burn that curious Misdirection CD, recognised cd text ok, all burnt ok except there is something funny with the first track, it won't play from the original cd or the copy. Some strange mispelt text appears next to the first track, misspelling of Misdirection, maybe the cd is funny, but sound and all is superb.

Here are some log files....
