Because of only the addition of the left and right signal I searched the internet for a better solution.

Especially with loud mixed songs otherwise it sounds horrible; because the output is digitally overloaded.

The ladspa-plugin "Matrix: Stereo to MS (matrixStMS, 1420)" from Steve Harris works much better:
http://plugin.org.uk/ladspa-swh/docs/ladspa-swh.html#tth_sEc2.70

the mpayer-command for a matrix-stereo-to-mid-side
mplayer -af ladspa=/usr/lib/ladspa/matrix_st_ms_1420:matrixStMS '/home/path.to/eels - beautiful freak/05  not ready yet.mp3'
or:
-af ladspa=/usr/lib/ladspa/matrix_st_ms_1420:matrixStMS
as option

ah, okay, so it works - but not with the volume. (which was my validation proof;-)

Thank you very much for investigating and helping.

Hm, strange.

I don´t understand, why it is not working here?

May you see at the screenshot the mistake? quotes? wrong command?
How does this take effect? With a restart of the application? with the next song played?

Thanks for your help

Hallo,

I wanted to use the options of mplayer to send all the stereo audio to only one loudspeaker. It works with the command-line:
mplayer '/home/path-to.mp3'   -af channels=1:0:0:0

To check if the command-line-options are really working well, this option is more effective; it reduces the volume in dB (-12dB is a quarter): 
mplayer -af volume=-12 '/home/path-to.MP3

But if I set this in the "Erweiterte Einstellungen" (suppose it is extended configuration in English) in audio-tab with mplayer choosen, nothing changes in the playback of gmusicbrowser. If I stop and play another song it is still behaving as if there isn't any parameter set. I tried to close and reopen the application gmusicbrowser - no difference in behaviour.

Do you know why?

With commandline mplayer it works. It seems like the parameter aren't read and applied in gmusicbrowser.

In this "Erweiterte Einstellungen" the first line says "mplayer Befehl" (translated mplayer-command); what does this mean? I have written there mplayer - is that right?
The second line is "Mplayer-Optionen". I put there in:       -af volume=-25

What is the problem?




A feature request is to implement

• a free command line in this audio output, for example with %t for the title-string

or

• sox - which is really powerful: http://sox.sourceforge.net/Docs/Documentation
  

Hey, a Limiter is used to avoid audio from clipping. Actually it does something explained here

Not translating 'hard limiter' is well done, because these effect devices are called in German 'Limiter', too.

@ Staubi: Ich habe ein nettes Wörterbuch gefunden, dass auch Fachbegriffe sehr gut übersetzt: http://dict.tu-chemnitz.de mit unserem Beispiel, dem Limiter.

Aqualung is a great player, working with jackd and without and has got gapless playbacks. It is even possible to run effects like a compressor .... ; and it is remote controllable via CLI.

may an input and a connection to that great player ... (but not so great browser ;) - and never as great as gmusicbrowser anyhow)

but the visuals are canceled with that ;) - read more there

Hello Quentin,

me again, once more. At the community radio / free radio I work, we now use Linux and I installed also gmb there. We need it for playlist-generating. The browsing is superb, but the playlist-support isn't best. But it's o.k.- the playlists generated with the m3u-plugin works fine with the automatisation-SW.

Very important for our issue is the total length of the list - this works with the layout from this thread, even the total time is only updatet, when clicked on the time. But this general view has more disadvantages. Anohter thing is, that only the selected files are written in the .m3u.

I checked the manual, where the layouts are explained, but it is to complicating for me to do this my own. ??? Sorry, i am only user and the manual is for developers, I suppose. They need to know exactly what a widget is, where to place in gtk and speak english well. I don't :(

So may you can help me with another layout. I would like to have
* general:
- buttons ... very minimal
- tabbed playlists only - one title per line/column (for max. vertical space performance, rows: title, artist, playtime, genre (?), album (?), path+filename(?)
- total time of list

If the total-widget(?) doesn't work all right with different lists and there is only one list performed, I need to check, where these mouseclicks are defined. Last time it happened, that I deleted the whole list by double-clicking by accident ::).

All the other PL-generating-persons in the radio do it with XMMS. The 2 didn't recognize the power of gmb yet.

Hm, for the m3u-outplay you should start the file with
#EXTM3U
like that it's said in wikipedia; the rest looks similiar to XMMS as we configured it there ( - there are more possibilities; but this is fine for debugging). But I would prefer to write out all the files listed and not only the selected. At my first try I was really wondering, what's going wrong then.

Ähm, with the warnings on 1.1.x about backups, I didn't try that one.

other question: these files there
http://gmusicbrowser.pastebin.com/f6a719e90
still works with the downgrade-compatibility? I checked myself and it works. Great, so I only need a total-time there ;).

I checked the search-filter in diewelt-Browser. The path and filename isn't searched.
May you can make that available?
May in the general-window the 'broom icon' is possible?
May even a 'save playlist'-icon like in winamp and xmms this load and save PL?
May also less space for the playing area?

Thank you, anyhow  8)
