MOCP from OB Menu

Hi,

Trying to configure openbox menu to start mocp.

Been trying differing uses of:

terminator -x mocp -m ~/path/to/your/music -T config

But to no avail.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

Re: MOCP from OB Menu

Try:

terminator --command="mocp -m ~/path/to/your/music -T config"

---

while ( ! ( succeed = try() ) );

Re: MOCP from OB Menu

ha, thanks. Just messaged you to delete this post as I thought it was irrelevant.

Will then have a look at the pipe menu

Re: MOCP from OB Menu

I'm trying it through obmen gui config, rather than menu.xml, if that makes any difference.

It makes a terminal flash up for a millisecond

Re: MOCP from OB Menu

This is the line in menu.xml

<item label="MOC">
                <action name="Execute">
                    <execute>terminator --command="mocp -m /home/crunchbang/music -T config"&quot;</execute>
                </action>

Re: MOCP from OB Menu

Is "config" the name of your MOC configuration/theme file?  Try running the command in quotes (without the quotes) in a terminal and see what error message you get.  You may need to specify the full path to the theme.

EDIT:  I also notice there's an """ in your command line.  Is this a copy/pasta error?

Re: MOCP from OB Menu

I haven't configured any theme file at all. All I have done is started mocp in a terminal, and then wanted to get it working via obmenu. I read something about theme but didn't think it was relevant (my laziness and desire to just ask instead perhaps...)

Edit: Sorry I've just found the relevant thread and will have a go at it...didn't realise there was more to it....have some experience with mpd and thought this was just a player and hence simpler, and cos I could just browse with it

Re: MOCP from OB Menu

the command you suggested just in quotes responds with:

FATAL_ERROR: Can't open theme file: No such file or directory

Re: MOCP from OB Menu

That's the error I saw too.  Try just this:

<item label="MOC">
                <action name="Execute">
                    <execute>terminator --command="mocp -m /home/crunchbang/music"</execute>
                </action>

Re: MOCP from OB Menu

Same response- it just flashes up a terminal very briefly.

Should I be playing with the config file? I just copied one as suggested on the cb moc config page.

Thanks

Re: MOCP from OB Menu

Put the start directory and the theme spec in your local moc config file (~/.moc/config) and just use

<execute>terminator -e mocp</execute>

in menu.xml.

For more information, type this in a terminal:

man mocp

Re: MOCP from OB Menu

Thanks.

Same response though:

In moc config I put the following for theme:

# Theme file. This can be absolute path or relative to
/home/crunchbang/.moc/themes/
Theme            = bluethememoc

In menu.xml:

     <item label="MOC">
                <action name="Execute">
                    <execute>terminator -e mocp</execute>
                </action>

Edit: I copied the folder containing the music files to .moc, and created a folder in .moc called themes, where I saved the bluethememoc file I created from copying the suggested theme config on the cb moc config page.

Re: MOCP from OB Menu

Same what response? Terminal flashes briefly?

Strange. That works for me, but I don't have a config file.

Try it without the config file. Just rename the config for now. You can get back to that once you have it working.

What happens if you just type this in a terminal:

terminator -e mocp

When you get it working, copy the default config file example (/usr/share/doc/moc/examples/config.example.gz) to your .moc directory and use the comments in the file to help you modify it.

cp /usr/share/doc/moc/examples/config.example.gz ~/.moc/config

Re: MOCP from OB Menu

Yep, just flashes up and disappears.

When I type what you suggested in terminal this happens!

Re: MOCP from OB Menu

aha....

when I now type mocp in terminal, I get this response:

FATAL_ERROR: Error in config file: missing option value on line 199!

The line it is referring to is the /home/crunchbang... one below

# Theme file. This can be absolute path or relative to
/home/crunchbang/.moc/themes/
Theme            = bluethememoc

Thanks

Re: MOCP from OB Menu

Now you're just making this up. That is very strange. Somehow you're sending your tint2 config file to stdout.

What about

terminator --command=mocp

I'm going to stop trying to help people for a while. I'm failing miserably.

If you get it working without a config file, see my post above yours for how to use the config properly.

Re: MOCP from OB Menu

I wouldn't be surprised, and yes, it is an awful, unimaginative, reaction username. I need to get round to changing. It's just such a great distro name...
