Mplayer and maquette on linux

Hi

I don’t know if it is related to my setup but it seems that playing a maquette with sound files using mplayer as an external player (since i can’t use jackplayer for an unknown reason ???) makes all soundfiles start at the same time, shich is not what i need.

Any ideas ???

Playing with mplayer is only built for basic classes. It could relatively easily be extended to play content in maquettes though…

May i ask what troubles you get with jackplayer?

Hi Anders,

Thx for the answer.

The trouble with jackplayer, is that there is no sound at all.
I use qjackctl with alsa driver and it works with almost everything.
the midi is good (i use qsynth).
By the way i probed for jackplayer (is it a binary ?) well there’s no jackplayer binary on Debian.
Maybe something else ?

Dear Anders,

Here is my setup. You can see that ClJack is connected to system output, but there’s no sound

Any ideas ? (is it a 64 bit issue ?)

If you just get piles of xruns after startup, it might be an issue w. 32bit jack clients in 64 bit jack servers. This used to work, and is still supposed to work, but i have had troubles ever since Fedora 22 with this.

There’s no jackplayer binary. OM uses its own built-in, jack client, using a ffi to (32-bit) libjack.so.

If there’s no cure for the 32bit-client/64bit-server headache, an alternative coulc be to set up a script compiling a binary (installation-time) to use for playback.

Yes this would be more than welcome …
