SlashNET Forum

SlashNET will be having a forum with the XMMS Project (formerly known as x11amp) today, June 19th, at 20:00 UTC (16:00 EDT) in the #forum channel. Afterward, a log will be available here on our FTP server. Hope to see you there! The IRC server (for those of you who don't know) is: irc.slashnet.org

Looks great!

[dattaway]

I like the list of rich features Xmms has and made me think of what lacks in x11amp. One of the things I wished x11amp had was a way to run it from a telnet session, without X for those times I just did not have the server fired up. I saw Xmms has key bindings, so I hope there is an easy way to hack it to allow a mpg123 command line mode.

Making a playlist for Xmms is sweet: locate .mp3 > playlist

The possibility of recording... yummy!

Hello? McFly? XMMS is what X11Amp has evolved into. Have you been in a deep, dark hole? Did you not read the IRC log? And XMMS isn't gonna have a console mode (also mentioned in the log).

Please read before posting - makes you look like you have some idea what's going on. (sorry, but it had to be said...)

Forum Log

[drdink]

We thank everybody who attended the XMMS forum and made it turn out as well as it did. If you were unable to attend, you can get the log from our FTP site:

ftp://ftp.slashne t.org/pub/slashnet/forums/xmms_06-19-1999.txt.gz.

That directory also contains the logs of several past forums, including the mandrake forum.

Also wanting to avoid WinAMP's shadow somewhat. But also, like you said, avoiding PlayMedia's claim on anything named *amp.

Format of logs

[David Ishee]

One thing I really hate about reading logs in Netscape is that the plain text files have long lines that force me to scroll horizontally often. I generally save the file and from a shell window do a:

fmt -s -w 79 log.txt | less

to read it, but it would be nice if you could do this for us lazy people.

Do some focus groups. You'll agree.

Re:Summary in two sentences

[akharon]

because you type in caps and litter the comments page with dumb statements all the while wondering what happened.

Two sentences? I read four :-)

[A Life in Hell]

or perhaps three if you don't the "he, he, he...."
line :-)

Summary in two sentences

[heroine]

The only thing I could decipher from that was

"Sound on linux sucks"

"Video on Linux sucks"

"Esound sucks"

"He, he, he, he, he...yeah...he, he, he"

Re:NOT THEIR

[demon]

Maybe because you got there too late? Did you read the part that said 16:00 EDT (that's 4:00 pm Eastern)? Also, I have a few suggestions for you... first, stop talking in the third person. Makes you sound like a moron. Second, there's a key on the left side of your keyboard, marked 'Caps Lock'. Press it ONCE - then never touch it again.

Oh... A new Icecast capable Plugin...

[szyzyg]

Guess I'll need to step up the work on LiveIce.... I need a GUI (any GTK experts out there ;-)

[odaiwai]

This is off topic, I know, but how do people feel about a posting ban on all first posters? i.e. ban that ip address for a fixed period.
