Audacious - OLD, PLEASE USE GITHUB DISCUSSIONS/ISSUES

Can you update to 3.5 and see if the problem still happens? The MIDI plugin in 3.4.x was extremely complicated due to trying to support both Fluidsynth and hardware MIDI playback, and I wouldn't be surprised there is some corner case that can lock it up. If the problem persists in 3.5, please run Audacious from within GDB, stop it (Ctrl-Z) when it locks up, and do "thread apply all bt" to see where it is getting stuck.

I uninstalled 3.4.2 with YaST. I've tried to compile and install 3.5 according to the how-to at http://redmine.audacious-media-player.org/boards/1/topics/1028 That had some problems, and is not working right yet. When I start it in a terminal I get:

Some of this is left over from 3.4.2. How can I clean out that?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Howard

You did follow the updated post, correct?
http://redmine.audacious-media-player.org/boards/1/topics/1028?r=1050#message-1050

FATAL: No output plugin found.

That probably means you didn't have appropriate alsa or pulseaudio development packages installed.

If can't get it to build correctly, please give build logs...

Correct, I used the updated post. alsa-devel and libpulse-devel are installed.
Errors during "make -j4" are:

Where are the build logs you mention?

Oops. The mms plugin is apparently relying on libmms to provide the GLib include path. And of course OpenSUSE patches libmms so it doesn't provide the include path [1]. I will fix this for 3.5.1.

[1] https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/multimedia:libs/libmms/libmms-pkgconfig.patch

Here is the fixed Makefile (audacious-plugins/src/mms/Makefile):
https://github.com/audacious-media-player/audacious-plugins/commit/bf7401c0ec39982514a8510fc5cc9edf6b0d92d6

Thanks, that fixed the error in the audacious-plugins "make -j4" command. It now completes without error.

Running audacious still gives

FATAL: No output plugin found.

I'll try to compile and install 3.5 on my openSUSE 12.3 KDE 32-bit machine. That's the closest I can come to the platform that worked in the how-to.
Regards,
Howard

Success on openSUSE 12.3 KDE 32-bit. Audacious 3.5 and plugins compiled and installed (needed the mms makefile fix above). It made the RPM files, which failed on openSUSE 13.1

Running Audacious 3.5 on the 12.3 machine works correctly with the same soundfont and .mid files that froze on the 13.1 machine with Audacious 3.4.2. The Audacious 3.5 time slider can be clicked back and forth and the play follows it correctly. Great joy.

Now I just have figure out how to get Audacious 3.5 running on the openSUSE 13.1 machine.

Will getting rid of the 3.4.2 remnants help? If so, how do I do that?

Thanks,
Howard

I'm not sure what you mean by remnants, but if you uninstalled 3.4.2 from the package manager, it should be fine to go ahead and install 3.5. Did you have a problem building 3.5 on this machine?

Something is not building right on this openSUSE 13.1 machine. After uninstalling 3.4.2 and compiling and installing 3.5, running in a terminal gives the results above in my second post. The line

String leaked: /home/howard/WinXP_int_D drive/Midi/Classical/As received/Rachmaninov

When building 3.5, the command

sudo /usr/sbin/checkinstall -R --fstrans=no --pakdir=.

is the last file played in 3.4.2, so 3.5 found that information somewhere.

The file path is coming from the playlists stored in $HOME/.config/audacious; that's not a problem. Just ignore the "String leaked" messages; it's a mistake that those are being displayed at all (will be fixed in 3.5.1). The key piece of information is "No output plugin found"; that means audacious-plugins didn't get installed successfully. It would be helpful to see the config.log file that was generated when you configured audacious-plugins.

The config.log file after running

./configure --prefix=/usr

No problems there. How about running "ls /usr/lib/audacious/Output" and then "audacious -V"?

When I ran "ls /usr/lib/audacious/Output" it reported there was no such directory. Seemed a bad state of affairs, so I went through the installation procedure of the how-to again. For Audacious 3.5, it still failed to create an RPM, so I used "sudo make -j4 install" instead. For audacious-plugins-3.5, an RPM was built. Trying to install it with YaST gave "nothing provides libaudcore.so.2 needed by audacious-plugins-3.5-1.i386" so I canceled and used "sudo make -j4 install" in a terminal again.

Audacious 3.5 is now installed and working. The time slider works on the file that gave trouble in 3.4.2.

I obviously did something incorrectly the first try at installation.

Thanks for this improved version of a very nice application.

Best regards,
Howard
