TCL with Deadbeef for a newbie

[bibo01]

That would be:

Code: [Select]

$ sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.0.98/volume1/public /mnt/music -o user=username,pass=password..without the ":"

With the above I get: mounting //192.168.0.98/volume1/public on /mnt/music failed: no such device
If I substitute cifs with nfs, I get: .....failed: Invalid argument
Obviously, I insert my own username/pw

What boot loader are you using? For example with syslinux on a usb stick you pass boot codes like this:

Code: [Select]

label rootfs
kernel /boot/vmlinuz
initrd /boot/rootfs.gz,/boot/modules.gz
append quiet noswap tce=UUID=18ab07fe-cf1d-4fab-8f96-ed80e00b67cb waitusb=10:UUID=18ab07fe-cf1d-4fab-8f96-ed80e00b67cb host=boxdell text blacklist=bcma,b43,ssb

I am using core2usb as suggested before.
I just need a way to make "kmap=qwerty/it" stick 

I need some help with ALSA, please.
If I use no DSP in Deadbeef (no ALSA mixer either), ALSA should take charge during playing back with automatic frequency detection of the file. Instead, the sample rate is always totally random and wrong.

Sorry, but I've no clue about that...

Well, I tried...perhaps somebody else may help...

What kind of format(s)?

Have you tried with different players (e.g. Mplayer-nodeps)?

Did you load the filesystems-KERNEL, cifs-utils and nfs-utils extensions?

I seem to remember that this uses syslinux - you should have a file /mnt/sda1/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf (or similar) where you can add the boot codes

I loaded Mplayer-nodeps, clicked on it but nothing happens. I mean, does it have an interface? ...I told you I was a newbie 
If you give me some indications, I can try again 

I realized that, by ticking on ALSA resampling in its configuration menu within Deafbeef, I can playback bit-perfect files. However, if I place in the playlist 2 files at different sample rates (ie 16/44.1 and 24/96), there are a few problems.
- If I cycle without stopping from one to the other, the first file is played fine but, as I move onto the 2nd one, it tries to play it at the previous sample rate. If I go back to the 1st one, it tries to play it at the sample rate of the 2nd one.
- If I start playing at a certain frequency, I have to start/stop/restart to be allowed playing at a different frequency.
Is this normal with ALSA? I would like to know if in general ALSA can automatically adjust sample rate between files.

Almost there...
After loading your extensions, using //192.168.0.98/public did the trick.
How do I make it to stick so I do not need to do it everytime?
I tried to backup but it does not work because "mnt" is excluded. Should I try to add "mnt" to filetool.lst (obviously excluding it from xfiletool.lst)?

Yes, it uses syslinux.
I opened /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg with Win Notepad and added "kmap..." to the APPEND line 

If I connect a HD through USB or eSATA to my notebook, will I be able to see it automatically booting through USB pendrive? Or do I need to mount it too?

In order to build the M2Tech Audio driver, what is the procedure for TCL?

Has anyboy already build it?

Always thanks

Editing Linux files in a Windows environment may be hazardous to your Linux system. Use Editor, vi, or some
other Linux editor.

[coreplayer2]

I use notepad++ if I absolutely have to edit a linux file in windows

No, the backup software would try to back-up everything under /mnt if you did that - you could make a small script to mount the drive on boot, add this script to your back-up and run it from bootlocal.sh

You would need to mount it too (you can use the gui mount applet) - this is the linux way.

Load the compiletc, linux-headers, bash, ncurses-dev and perl5 extensions and compile it

Simply

Code: [Select]

mplayer somefile.mp3
or you could also play all files in same dir with

Code: [Select]

mplayer *.mp3
There are several GUI frontends, e.g. SMplayer.

Did a quick test with my USB-SPDIF key made by ART ...

I got sound by Deadbeef using .flac files but any tentative to play a .WAV file induced a "crash" of Deadbeef app, or to be honest no crash evidence but player quit immediately as soon a .WAV file is selected to playout ... files are normal 16/44 CD files, no special HD or fancy coding.

Any idea ?

Kindly regards, Massimiliano

For playing wav files you could as well use the player shipped with sound system (aplay/ossplay).

that is not much help if one wants to use Deadbeef as player 

Hi ipoci, you are not the only one with this problem. I hope that my friend hfavandepas was able to solve this matter and a few other things here and there...I should hear from him soon 

I have been trying to modprobe my usb alsa driver, but it seems that TCL does not have modprobe at all.
Is that the case? Is there any way around it?

[Rich]

Hi bibo01

... but it seems that TCL does not have modprobe at all.

Modprobe is included. You either need to run it as root or using sudo.

Great!
Can you please give some examples for both?

[Juanito]

Code: [Select]

$ sudo modprobe b43

Code: [Select]

$ sudo su
