[Solved: outdated module] moc-2.5.2-x86_64 only finds ogg

[Rava]

My system is Port 5.0x86-64 XFCE

Tried on the virtual console moc-2.5.2-x86_64-openbox.xzm but it not finds anything aac or mp3:
There are plenty of music files in this folder - mp3's and aac's

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:/7/sound$ ls -1d *.mp3|wc
     61     341    2571
guest@porteus:/7/sound$ ls -1d *.aac|wc
      4      27     218

Still mocp only recognises one single file as music file - the ogg one.

Starting it it complains about these:

Code: Select all

Can't load plugin libffmpeg_decoder: file not found
Can't load plugin libmp3_decoder: file not found

The libmp3_decoder would give it mp3 support, I presume.
Would libffmpeg_decoder give aac support?

And where do I get these decoders?

hi Rava lame for mp3 and the aac faad2 but i am not shure for the second one ok is the one:
Description:

| faad2 (AAC audio decoder)
|
| FAAD 2 is a LC, MAIN and LTP profile, MPEG2 and MPEG-4 AAC decoder,
| completely written from scratch.
| Includes libmp4ff, a Quicktime library for UNIX in a freely
| redistributable, statically linkable library.

audacious, mpv and ffmpeg all work fine, all can play aac and mp3 (and some other formats, like webm, m4a or mkv)
I do have /usr/lib64/libfaac.so.0.0.0 via /var/lib/pkgtools/packages/faac-1.30-x86_64-3_ncm (part of 002-xtra) but that seems too be not what I need.

I look into getting a faad2 slackware package.

[beny]

you can choose from salix alienbob the sbo etc etc..... i have discovered firefox can do like a player, drag a song in and start to play try with an aac song

[Rava]

running slapt-get --show faad2 it says "Package Installed: yes" (at the very end):

you can choose from salix alienbob

I look into that, since slapt-get seems not to help, I try via http://slakfinder.org

[beny]

tht salix current version is 2.10.0

[Rava]

Created alien's faad2-2.10.0-x86_64-1alien as module and activated it.
Still:

Seems faad2-2.10.0-x86_64-1alien.xzm doesn't do the trick.

i have seen that moc have a decoder plugin directory you can't add your codec in: i try but no luck
/usr/lib64/moc/decoder_plugins/libffmpeg_decoder.so
/usr/lib64/moc/decoder_plugins/libflac_decoder.so
/usr/lib64/moc/decoder_plugins/libmp3_decoder.so
/usr/lib64/moc/decoder_plugins/libsndfile_decoder.so
/usr/lib64/moc/decoder_plugins/libspeex_decoder.so
/usr/lib64/moc/decoder_plugins/libvorbis_decoder.so
/usr/lib64/moc/decoder_plugins/libwavpack_decoder.so
the workaround is compile ffmpeg with the aac support.....and with the libffmpeg decoder you can play aac, well you want to try

[Rava]

This is what mine says

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 10480 2019-06-22 14:57 libwavpack_decoder.so

Looks like there is already a libffmpeg_decoder.so and a libmp3_decoder.so …
Seems moc is a bit more stubborn or esoteric than we would like it to be.

i have ffmpeg with the aac disabled in the configure a try to compile and report....maybe there is a version with...

ffplay just plays aac fine for me:

you're making this way harder than it should be:

Code: Select all

getpkg moc libid3tag

[OK] moc-2.5.2-x86_64-8.txz
[OK] libid3tag-0.15.1b-x86_64-7.txz

Please enter a directory to download the packages to.

official slackwareware 15.0 packages: moc ffmpeg plugin finds the correct ffmpeg libs and libid3tag allows the mp3 plugin to function.
done.

I see, so then the module found on some Porteus mirrors moc-2.5.2-x86_64-openbox.xzm was not created using slackware packages?
Anyhow, this works as it should, though for now I do not see any advantage of using libid3tag-0.15.1b-x86_64-7.xzm since mocp seems not displaying anything, unless you need a certain keyboard command telling it doing so.

no, moc-2.5.2-x86_64-openbox.xzm was created using slackware packages, but (apparently) like 'some Porteus mirrors' is now very out of date.
up to date mirrors do not contain that module.
EDIT: just checked all mirrors and afaics they're all up to date and do not contain that module.

[Rava]

I found it on https://mirrorservice.org/sites/dl.port ... 1/bundles/
Oh well, since others can find it there, too, maybe I should create a moc-2.5.2 thread in x86-64 modules explaining that the moc-2.5.2-x86_64-openbox.xzm is outdated and users should use

Code: Select all

getpkg moc libid3tag

instead creating a recent working module.
Or I just upload my 2 just created modules - and tell them getpkg moc libid3tag lets them create their own.

Or I do not, since users searching the forum should find this thread.
