The server Jukebox is dead
One of the fans was making an awful sounds and the web interface for the jukebox needed much love. Zebra is now replacing its funcationality. For more information on how to play music off of Zebra, please see the Music page. The home directory has been backed up to Pony, /d1/backup-old-jukebox-home/
Access Info
jukebox.local Host: jukebox User: jukebox/password
The jukebox server is at 172.30.0.13 Its currently running a pulse audio daemon so you can connect and serve media through it that way.
Future Design Plans
- Adding more disk space and increasing the library size
- Elucidate directory organizing and playlist creation wrt moc
- Enabling users with remote libraries (aka their own music) to play with a non-apple music streamer, or a shared SD card catalog of albums/playlists/genre content)
MOC
Once you are into the jukebox use MOC by typing 'moc' at a prompt. MOC is a console audio player, look at the MOC manual if you are unfamiliar with it.
MOC(1) music on console MOC(1)
NAME
MOC - console audio player
SYNOPSIS
mocp [OPTIONS] [FILE ...]
DESRIPTION
MOC is a console audio player with simple ncurses interface. It sup‚ ports OGG, wave, and MP3 formats. Just run mocp, go to some directory using menu and press enter to start playing file, program will be play‚ ing automaticaly rest of the files in the directory.
With no options and no file arguments the program begins in current directory or in MusicDir if StartInMusicDir option is set. If you give a directory on the command line, MOC will try to go there. With files or multiple directories, everything will be added to the playlist recursively.
OPTIONS
If an option can be also set in the configuration file, the command line overrides it.
-D --debug Run in debug mode. Client and server logs much information to debug files. Don’t use this, the server log is large. This is only available if MOC was compiled without --disable-debug.
-S --server Run only the server and exit.
-F --foreground Can be used only with -S. Run the server in foreground and log everyting to stdout.
-R --sound-driver NAME Use the specified sound driver. This can be OSS, ALSA, or null (for debugging). Some of the drivers could not be compiled in. This option is called SoundDriver in configuration file.
-m --music-dir Start in MusicDir (set in configuration file). This can be also set in configuration file as StartInMusicDir.
-a --append Append files, directories (recursivelly) and playlists given after options to the playlist. Don’t start the interface.
-c --clear Clear the playlist.
-p --play Start playing from the first item on the playlist.
-f --next Request playing the next song from the server’s playlist.
-r --previous Request playing the previous song from the server’s playlist.
-s --stop Request stop playing from the server.
-x --exit Bring down the server.
-P --pause Request pause from the server.
-U --unpause Request unpause from the server.
-G --toggle-pause Toggle between play/pause.
-T --theme theme Use a theme file. If the path is not absolute, the file will be searched in /usr/share/moc/themes/ (depends on installation pre‚Äê fix), ~/.moc/themes/ and in the current directory.
-C --config FILE Use the specified config file instead of the default. An example can be found in /usr/share/doc/moc/examples/.
-M --moc-dir DIR Use the specified MOC directory instead of the default. This also causes to use the config file from that directory. This can be also specified in the config file using the MOCDir option.
-y --sync This copy of the interface will be synchronizing the playlist with other clients. This option is calles SyncPlaylist in the configuration file.
-n --nosync This copy of the interface will not be synchronizing its playlist with other clients (see above).
-A --ascii Use ASCII characters to draw lines (helps on some terminals).
-i --info Print the information about the currently played file.
-Q --format FORMAT_STRING Print information about the currently played file using a format string. Replace string sequences with proper information:
State %state
File %file
Title %title
Artist %artist
SongTitle %song
Album %album
TotalTime %tt
TimeLeft %tl
TotalSec %ts
CurrentTime %ct
CurrentSec %cs
Bitrate %b
Rate %r
\n \n
-e --recursively Alias for -a for backward compatybility.
-h --help Print list of options with short description and exit.
-V --version Print program version and exit.
-v --volume Adjust the mixer volume. You can set (-v 50), or adjust (-v +10), (-v -10).
-t --toggle
-o --on
-u --off
Followed by a list of identifiers, these will control MOC’s playlist options. Valid identifiers: shuffle, repeat, and autonext. Can be shortened to s, r, and n respectively.
Example: -t shuffle,r,n would toggle shuffle repeat and autonext all at once.
FILES
~/.moc MOC directory for configuration file, socket, pid file, and other data.
~/.moc/config
Configuration file of MOC. Format is very simple, to see how to use it, look into example configuration file (config.example) distributed with the program.
~/.moc/themes /usr/share/moc/themes
Default directories for theme files.
BUGS
Command line options that affects the server bahaviour (like --sound- driver) are ignored if the server is already running at the time of executing mocp. The user is not warned about this.
