Description: cplay is a curses front-end for various audio players. It aims to provide a power-user-friendly interface with simple filelist and playlist control. cplay is written in Python and can use either pyncurses or the standard curses module. Requirements: - cplay http:https://www.tf.hut.fi/~flu/cplay/ - python http:https://www.python.org/ - pyncurses http:https://pyncurses.sourceforge.net/ - pyalsaaudio (optional) http:https://pyalsaaudio.sourceforge.net/ For Alsa mixer support - python-oss (optional) http:https://net.indra.com/~tim/ossmodule/ For OSS mixer support - mutagen (optional) http:https://code.google.com/p/mutagen/ For metadata support (IDv3 etc.) - magic (optional) http:https://www.darwinsys.com/file/ For better filetype recognition For playback either install mplayer (recommended): http:https://www.mplayerhq.hu/ or one or more of the following players: - mpg321 http:https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpg321/ - ogg123 http:https://www.vorbis.com/ - mpg123 http:https://www.mpg123.org/ - splay http:https://splay.sourceforge.net/ - madplay http:https://www.mars.org/home/rob/proj/mpeg/ - mikmod http:https://www.mikmod.org/ - xmp http:https://xmp.sf.net/ - sox http:https://sox.sf.net/ - speex http:https://www.speex.org/ Installation: make install Usage: cplay [-dFileForDebugOutput] [-mnrR] [ file | dir | playlist ] ... When in doubt, press 'h' for a friendly help page. Configuration: If you would like to change options passed to the actual players just edit the PLAYERS list in the cplay script or put the PLAYERS definition in either ~/.cplayrc or /etc/cplayrc. If one of these files is available, it is executed by cplay before initialization. Macros are defined using the MACRO dictionary, where the key is a key and the value is a string of cplay input. For example, the following would make ,d delete tagged (or current) files: MACRO['d'] = '!rm "$@"\n' Note, there is currently no version control for the rc-file! Miscellaneous: A playlist can contain URLs, but the playlist itself will have to be local. For mpeg streaming, splay is recommended. It is also possible to pipe a playlist to cplay, as stdin will be reopened on startup unless it is attached to a tty. Remote control is available via /var/tmp/cplay_control-$USER. Create this with mkfifo and see lircrc for examples. The shell command gets the full path of either all tagged items or the current item as positional arguments.
