Inspired by a very insightful post by @dlakelan I'm finally getting around to asking about a CLI issue I'm having.

Apparently xmms2 doesn't have tab completion out of the box. My distro is Mint 22.1. So far I figured out that I need to add a text file for it to /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/. Weirdly there's already one for regular xmms. So I found one at:

https://gist.github.com/ektich/3702fd8206e3a5ba6aff14566032d6e9

And added it to the directory but still no luck. I feel like I'm missing something basic but what is it??

Ah, Debian 13 has XMMS2 in the repo once again. Now I don’t have to compile it manually 🐱☕

"Warum sind minimale Mediaplayer wie Winamp eigentlich damals ausgestorben? War doch ein okay-es Konzept?"

XMMS nachgelesen
#XMMS2 installiert - gesehen, gelacht, gelöscht
#Audacious installiert - Datei geöffnet, Geschwindigkeit auf 180%? Ah, muss man Plugin aktivieren?

…albernes Echo?

Foobar 2000? Win-only

Quod Libet? Kann schon keine m3u öffnen

Evtl. deshalb! Nicht weil das Konzept scheiße war, sondern weil die Clients jeder für sich scheiße waren.

Doing stuff with #Gentoo brings me back to simpler times. Hanging out in #IRC on #IRCNet, chatting to other nerds on our #gentoo.is channel. using the command /playing to display which song we were playing in #XMMS2, ricing out our WM/DE, t.A.T.u. were the new big thing around the world with their hit "All the things she said"..

Simpler times!

Hm-m, XMMS2 compilation failed (waf). Looks like I need python2 specifically. That's tough, considering I don't have one in Debian 🤔

XMMS2, which I had installed since previous release, doesn't seem to work with Debian 12. Damn. It starts, but after adding files it cannot play anything. Maybe I should compile it myself… But later.

Pushed minor `xmms2-0.9.3` release a few minutes ago. Apart from a few minor cleanups it has `cython-3` compatibility fixes.

`xmms2-0.9.2` release is out: https://github.com/xmms2/xmms2-devel/releases/tag/0.9.2

While it's a music player daemon it comes with clients that can render fun videos out of your music streams using `libvisual`: https://trofi.github.io/posts/279-xmms2-0.9.2-is-out.html

Managed to debug a fun xmms2 bug today.

xmms2 attempted to play some FLAC files non-stop way past their duration: https://trofi.github.io/posts/274-xmms2-flac-hangup-fix.html
