Flexible command line player based on gstreamer

gst123's Issues

AV1 support

It would be nice if gst123 has support for the AV1 video codec. Currently, the audio can only be played.

Feature Request: Videomixer

Since gstreamer handles videmixing so nicely, it would be interesting to have 
multiple sources played in one window in a matrix grid.

Feature Request - Pause After This Track

I use gst123 every day. Something I would find very useful would be a "pause 
after this track" keyboard command (eg, Ctrl-space). Would that be hard to 
implement?

gst123 supplis an invalid GOptionsEntry table and spews warnings to stdout

Run gst123.

Observe the following errors:

optional-arg or filename flags (8) on option of type 0

Assumes that playbin's video-sink is always a GstBin

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Have a video sink that handles encoded video
2. Play a file with such a video stream
3. Get funny g_criticals()

(gst123:1674): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from `GstXvImageSink' to 
`GstBin'

(gst123:1674): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_bin_iterate_sinks: assertion 
`GST_IS_BIN (bin)' failed

(gst123:1674): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_iterator_next: assertion `it != NULL' 
failed

(gst123:1674): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_value_unset: assertion `G_IS_VALUE 
(value)' failed



Reason is this line in gst123.cc:
          GstIterator *iterator = gst_bin_iterate_sinks (GST_BIN (videosink));

The video-sink of playbin can be a GstBin, but it can also be a GstElement. You 
should only iterate over it if it is a GstBin, otherwise just use the element 
itself.

(Feature Request) playback from stdin

option to play audio(/video) which has been piped to gst123.
Like mpv does when run like this:
mpv -

Feature Request: Play PREVIOUS track

'n' plays next track, i wonder why there is no 'p' play previous track too.

Sometimes shows the video in a second window

This happens because the GstVideoOverlay messages are handled from an async bus 
handler. Attached patch fixes this.

Nothing happens when clicking dvd title menu selections

The selectable title menu options on dvds currently do not work with gst123.

To see this, do:

$ gst123 dvd:///dev/cdrom

Then mouse over the selectable dvd title menu options once it shows up and 
click them.  They will be highlighted, but they don't do anything once clicked.

Note that this does does work with totem (using its gstreamer backend), so it 
looks like sufficient gstreamer support is there.

Thanks for looking into this!

Best wishes,
Mike

Feature Request - quiet mode

Both mpg123 and ogg123 provide a quiet mode.

If you pass -q in the command, it will not display any verbose message and play 
the media file directly. It is quite useful sometimes.

Please add this to gst123 in the future.

Thanks.

compiling without gtk and libX11 support

Hi,

how can i compile gst123 without gtk and libX11 support? to use it in an embedded system?

Thanks

[PATCH] fix compilation on GNU/Hurd

The compilation of gst123 0.2.2 fails on GNU/Hurd.
The problem is the name of the parameter of NetworkStream::net_error() (errno) 
in src/iostream.h, due to a different way/place errno on GNU/Hurd is declared. 
Simply renaming it to 'error' (as it is used in src/networkstream.cc) fixes the 
issue; attached patch for it.
(In general, 'errno' is a reserved name, so renaming it anyway would be a good 
thing.)

Thanks.

Any plans to upgrade to gtk4 ?

gst123 handles still image files (JPEG, PNG, etc.)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Have a directory of image files (or have some still image files in your 
music dir)
2. Run 'gst123 <directory>'

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Any time gst123 sees an image, it pops it up for a fraction of a second and 
then continues.

I can understand why the code as written would be doing this, but it's not 
really a useful usage mode in its current incarnation.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.1.3, on Fedora.

=> file cannot be played and will be removed from playlist

The audio file is being played back in terminal it seems but no sound comes through usb headphones.

Thanks.

Sound is silenced but does not stop playing after ^z

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. start playing
2. send ^z
3. resume with fg

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Music will starts right after when stopped, instead while no sound is emitted 
it the music is restarted after X time where X is the time between fg and ^Z 

See the 5 seconds gap here:

Unclear license

Hi. Is it LGPLv2-only or LGPLv2+ (aka. or later)?

Can't play in the background?

I'd like to use gst123 to play sound from an app, however when I use gst1234 
<sound> &, no sound comes out. I didn't see an option for this either - is this 
possible to do?

Port to GStreamer 1.0

Hi,

soon (next few days) GStreamer 1.0 will be released and it would be a good idea 
to start using it in gst123. There are already pre-releases/release-candidates 
since some time.

The attached patch ports gst123 to GStreamer 1.0 (and a second minor patch 
allows to force pulseaudio as audio output).

Feature request: Gapless playback

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.2.2   OpenSuse 12.1

Please provide any additional information below.
Since as I understand gstreamer supports gapless playback (Audacious plays back 
wav, ape, flac, ogg gaplessly, though not mp3 and m4a), it would be great if 
gst123 would also do so, it would be better than most Linux audio players.

Local files not properly escaped when converted to URLs

What steps will reproduce the problem?

`gst123 file%20with%20percent-encoded%20chars.wav`

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect "file%20with%20percent-encoded%20chars.wav" to play, but gst123 will 
try to play "file with percent-encoded chars.wav".  When not passing local file 
names (i.e., *not* URLs) special characters should be escaped.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Tested with 0.2.1 and git master

Please provide any additional information below.

Patch attached.  I'm not sure what the desired behavior is for playlists so I 
left that part of the code alone, but it may be possible to get rid of 
Player::add_uri_or_directory completely.

how to install on Raspbian Buster?

could someone please have a detailed guide on how to install?
this is all i see:

and in Putty, i get error on the 1st try!

i need to create a video looper. this Adafruit guide works great for rpi. but since i cant afford any rpi atm, i got a Libre LePotato. im told this GST123 program will work as a video looper (auto play a mp4 file from USB flash drive whenever the device boots up) https://github.com/swesterfeld/gst123 BUT how do i even install it?

Feature Request: Visualisations

Is there a way to make this use visualisations? Like libgstmonoscope? If not, 
from my research it should be easy for a programmer to add it.
