Speex dev - Aug 2004 - linux.conf.au and streaming (was Re: patch for libspeex)

D'oh, should've looked at this before hand. Seems you've done more
or less what I've done and taken the streaming code from the
mpeg/vorbis plugins and meshed it in with yours.

I can't seem to get yours to work - it hangs at "CONNECTED: WAITING
FOR REPLY". My version is at
        http://dagobah.ucc.asn.au/speex-xmms-0.6.0brb.tar.gz

It hasn't yet been extensively tested (ie, all the streaming
options), but it streams :) Bugs and comments welcome please!

The other oddball thing that you've probably already found is that
when xmms interrogates each plugin asking if it can handle it, the
mpg123 plugin accepts all http streams that aren't oggs. Grrr.

The workaround is to get the speex plugin before the mpg123 plugin
in the chain, by giving it a name that comes before "MPEG..." -
I've
used " Speex..." (leading space).

In the process of merging your code with the http code, I've ripped
yours to shreds to fit... Hope you dont mind. Perhaps you could
bless it with a new version number? :)

Cheers,

Bernard.

Have you tried to compile it with debug? (make debug).
What does it say in the terminal? (I assume you can get the file with
wget)

Or:
1. Disable the mpg123 plugin! I rarely have the need to play mp3
   anymore :)
2. Get xmms from cvs. Edit xmms/Input/mpg123/mpg123.c. Add '.spx' to the
   exclude list at around line 395-400. Recompile the MPEG plugin.

Sure. I'll look at it tomorrow.

Okay, I figured out that one - the default Buffer Size is 0, so it
hangs in http_buffer_loop waiting for some buffer space it'll never
get...  Adding some buffer solves that :) (Or changing the default
buffer size).

Next issue is that it stops before the end of the stream - I suspect
when it completes streaming/downloading, and not playing.

Thought of these, but I want to be able to distribute this to people
and not have to ask them to disable their mp3 plugin or recompile
xmms. I'd like to dispel rumours that *nix isn't user friendly :)
