Does anyone use emacs to play their music? Tinkering with bongo and.. not bad! Using filenames rather than tags creates a few glitches. But fun to have all the familiar keys working. #emacs #music #debian #linux

I use #Emacs #EMMS with mpd.

@Zenie How do you like it overall? Bongo worked fine with a vlc backend but crapped out with mpg321 for.. unknown reasons..

@ruralgloom

I like #EMMS a lot. I've recently become one of the developers.

That said, I'm not sure I'm the average Emms user.
I use the browser, most people seem to use #Emacs dired.
I also use mpd as my music server which isn't the most popular from what I can tell.

It has a tag editor, playlists and streaming. I've seen a number of posts to connect it to elfeed for handling tube channels and podcasts using VLC.

It's been around a long while, the nuts and bolts are all there, it's solid.

I'm currently working on the browser as I am unhappy with it. My new filtering and searching system is getting close to ready.

@Zenie @ruralgloom I tried it, couldn't figure out how to set the resolution for YouTube video. (MPV can do it.)
@tusharhero @ruralgloom
VLC does sometimes take some futzing.
@Zenie @ruralgloom is there a way to set resolution through elisp?

@tusharhero @ruralgloom

I haven't actually used VLC in a while, I've been using MPlayer most recently. There was a time I used it all the time for language learning and subtitles.

@Zenie @tusharhero @ruralgloom I have a nonstandard way of listening to YouTube videos of music via emacs on my personal device at work (I have YouTube Premium so ads aren't an issue):

Two emacsen, one looping on a list of URLs and invoking chrome (via shell-command-to-string) on each and a second, running from an elevated cmd.exe shell, which loops infinitely executing "powercfg /requests" waiting for audio first to start (output has "Playing audio") then stop, at which point it kills chrome.

@Zenie @tusharhero @ruralgloom I ran out of space in the previous comment, but I should have mentioned this is stock GNU emacs running on windows. If anyone is interested in the two functions I wrote (chrome-list-of-urls in the first emacs and wait-for-play-then-stop in the second emacs), just ask.

#emacs

@kalmanreti @ruralgloom @tusharhero @Zenie That sounds like an interesting technique. =) I'd love to add a link to it in Emacs News if you post the functions somewhere!

I've been using elfeed-tube for YouTube. I'm really trying to get away from YouTube though.

I haven't tried with peertube.

For podcasts there is this.

Which should also work with bongo.

Elfeed is great for following channels.
