Can't switch views / play songs / etc. cmus 2.4.3

I compiled cmus 2.4.3 from source on my debian testing system a few months ago, since there were some dependency issues installing from the package. It worked fine for many months, but now somethings wrong. I am unable to switch views using 1-7. I am able to search my library using / , but am unable to play songs. Before I removed my cache, library, etc. I thought I might report a bug here.

Regards

Hi Colin, I bet your keybindings have disappeared. That's a bug that
happens once in a blue moon. Try renaming your ~/.cmus/autosave file,
which should force cmus to recreate it with default values (including
mappings for views 1-7). Note that you can bind the views to any keys
you want, and they correspond to the command :view [1-7].

Feature request, play directory

Hi,
I would like to be able to play an entire album at once, and I have my Albums in sub directories under artist names. So, for example, I have DragonForce/Ultra Beatdown. Would it be possible to make it so that in view 5 if I put the cursor on Ultra Beatdown and press x that it would search through Ultra Beatdown/ and play any music file it finds? Or is there already a way to do what I am asking for?
Thanks
Storm

Re: Feature request, play directory

Hi Storm,

I don't think cmus has a mode where it will chose it's next song
from the file view, so I think your best bet is to queue up the
whole album.

I just tested, and the "e" key (mound to queue the selection) works
on directories in the file view. (Very cool whoever implemented
that.)

Then if you want it to start immediately, you can press "b" to go
to the next track (which will be pulled from the queue.)

You can use shift-e ("E") to add the album to the start of the
queue instead of the end.

Oh, and while I'm being verbose, once I tried hitting "eb" really
fast, and got a track from my library before the album started. It
seems that adding tracks from a directory runs in the background
(which makes sense, because some directories have a lot of files.)
You'll get the feel for what fraction of a second you have to wait
between those two keys :)

       - Jason

color scheme in cmus-2.4.3-osx.png

In http://cmus.sourceforge.net/cmus-2.4.3-osx.png

Is that a cmus color scheme or the terminal's settings?

It is the newest cmus color scheme, Zenburn. You can toggle it with

    :colorscheme zenburn

(note, it requires 256-color terminal).

Hi all,

I have done a brief look at the source codes but come up with nothing.

Indeed, cmus simply spawsn status display program each time player's
file/status/metadata changes.

Can you please tell what for do you want different behaviour?

Thanks for replying.


Desired bahaviour: cmus calls the status display program only when a new song is started being played (not started being played because of resuming).

Any hint on which files/places to look at will be much appreciated!

I think it can easily be done by writing a custom
status_display_program, which first checks that «status» is «playing»,
and then calls «cmus-remote -Q» to check playback position, and only
calls «real» status_display_program is playback position is, say, less
than 3 seconds.
