How about a short readme with example usage?

At last, after many many long hours and days I think I have found a windows node mp3 player that emulates the audio module of html5.

I can't tell you how happy I'm feeling.

I need to buy you a pint.

Thank-you so much for your efforts, O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' (http://www.jabberwocky.com/carroll/jabber/jabberwocky.html)

Trying to play a file in loop does not seem to work.

Any method for Previous track or Next track? Im wanting to go back to a previous track.

Thanks

Can't for the life of me get this working. Do you have a drop-in example to start from?

Yes, I have mPlayer installed and works fine, tested both clicking media and in the terminal.

Thanks..

ON raspberry pi 2, jessie version event Time is not fired because "A:" time change is sent to SDTERR instead of STDOUT so changing code like below, makes it better :)

onError: function(error) {
        if(this.options.debug) {
            console.log('stderr: ' + error);
        }

        data = error.toString();

        if(data.indexOf('A:') > -1) {
            var timeStart, timeEnd, time;

            if(data.indexOf(' V:') !== -1) {
                timeStart = data.indexOf(' V:') + 3;
                timeEnd = data.indexOf(' A-V:');
            } else {
                timeStart = data.indexOf('A:') + 2;
                timeEnd = data.indexOf(' (');
            }

            time = data.substring(timeStart, timeEnd).trim();

            this.emit('timechange', time)
        }
    }

is there a way, to open a Url ?
only with the link which is written in the .pls file

*Edit: I'm sorry, i just realized that a url of a radio-stream is a file
So player.openFile('...') worked for me

Could you provide an option/method for setting eventEmitter setmaxlistener. Its too mainstream to go and edit nodemodule itself.

Hi @noodny,

We had an issue whereby playback failed due to a corrupt file. It would be great if an error event was emitted or some sort of hook was provided so that we can skip to the next track - as far as I can tell there's no way to catch this scenario currently.

I can play an mp3 but it suffers from "stuttering". The source is on a NAS box and I think that the access is not perfectly continuous. However if I play the same track using the html audio tag playback is fine.

Is there a buffering issue with mplayer?

I note that in the player.js file there is section:

    instance.on('exit', function() {
        if(Date.now() - startTime < 3000) {
            // Process is erroring too close to start up, abort.
            process.exit(1);
        }

This seems to indicate some timing issues, but with an exit.

I also noted from elsewhere that using mplayer in -slave mode might need some cache: mplayer -cache 1024 for instance.

No idea where to put that to test it though?

In my experiments I noted that directly playing mplayer in slave mode from acommand line will ony play a little bit of a track and then repeat in a loop until it gets some input such as a CR (enter/return) or other command. Of course I shouldn't really use the keyboard in slave mode, but hey just experimenting.

I don't see anywhere where this might be being generated or if it is really needed if stdin is being set up properly, but the effect is certainly what I seem to be getting.

I could be way off, but any thoughts or pointers would be welcome.

therefore inverting play/pause actions on following file

workaround: resume song right before opening next file:
-play/pause actions will be consistent
-BUT following file will be played automatically

@noodny
when trying to play video using mplayer volume is not working. Even I am not able to mute or unmute it. Video just completes without audio. I am working on ubuntu environment.

player.openFile('/home/test/story.mp4', {'volume':50, 'mute': false});

player.openFile("sample.wav",{volume:0});

I was looking in player.status with a console.log and output is volume is 0. But still plays at full volume.

Hi,

how can I configure the binary (mplayer.exe) location? Or do I need to add mplayer to the PATH?

Hello, it appears that sometime (rather often) the stop command fail.

COMMAND: stop []
stdout: A: 1.5 (01.5) of 0.0 (unknown) 9.3% 3%
stdout: A: 1.5 (01.5) of 0.0 (unknown) 9.2% 3%
stdout: A: 1.5 (01.5) of 0.0 (unknown) 9.2% 3%

Here is the failed command. The stream continue.

COMMAND: stop []
stdout: A: 0.5 (00.4) of 0.0 (unknown) 0.0% 2%
stdout:
EOF code: 4

Here is a success stop.

I'm testing with this stream http://cdn.nrjaudio.fm/audio1/fr/40101/aac_576.mp3?origine=fluxradios

Also it seems to works fine with mp3 however.

Hi,

I remotely set off a track to play and the program works fine. When the track ends it picks up the track stopped event and return a signal to the remote caller (via a websocket).

However, if I change the volume and play a track (order doesn't matter) then I get two track stopped events being emitted (which causes havoc at the remote caller end).

I've tried following the code at player.js and index.js but I'm struggling to understand how the code gets any signal from mplayer itself. There is a lot of code in the handlers section, but I can't follow it (too inexperienced I'm afraid.) my feeling is that the intialisation might be setting up one too many events (in an array).

Sorry I am not explaining myself very well. I can post my test code if you wish.

Added: e.g. I set the volume (doesn't do anything), openFile(a short excerpt mp3) then set volume. Then I wait 5 seconds (the firts track has finished), start a new track, set the volume. I get

Received: volume 30
Received: play test2.mp3
Received: volume 30
Track ended
Track ended
Track ended
Received: play test3.mp3
Received: volume 30
Track ended
Track ended

To my way of thinking there should only be one stop event after thetrack stops! Without the volume being set it's fine.I get just one stop event after the track ends. If I don't set a track playing and just set the volume (three times say) no stop event. it happens only when I start a track and change the volume.
