"mplayer"

"mplayer"

[W. Nick Dotson]

I must've unintentionally done something terrible to "mplayer".  It was playing the "rms" speaches, and I could access "wuwf".  Now, although I hear hard drive 
access, and the numbers for the "rms" speeches change, I get no audio.  The amplifier is OK, as is the cable, as I tested it with other devices...  (grin)  

I read the "mplayer" manual.  Mostly it talked about all of the formats it could access, but I'll be darned if I heard anything about mute control, or a volume 
control.  (grin)  So, how do I access something with commands so I can crank up the volume and make sure the sound card isn't muted?

The volume control isn't part of mplayer. That's handled elsewhere. Use
alsamixer.

If Linux doesn't solve your computing problem, you need a different problem.

Re: "mplayer"

[David Bruzos]

Hello all:
Actually, mplayer can control the pcm volume for your computer directly 
from its interface.  The "/" key lowers the volume and the "*" raises 
the volume.  I am not sure if it has mute.  This volume is the same as 
the pcm volume in your mixer application.  I use it all the time.
Actually, I just tested it and it does have mute also.  The key for mute 
is "m".  You can press "m" once to mute the sound and press it again to 
unmute it.  So, you can do both, use the volume control or use mplayer's 
interface.

Hope this helps.

rsync command

[Paul (Pawel) Loba]

Hi:
Can someone kindly remind me the rsync command to update, from speakup 
server, FC3 images, please?

Thanks,
Pawel.

You never learn anything by doing it right.

Re: rsync command

[Janina Sajka]

Here's the command I use:

rsync -avtz --delete
bumpy.braille.uwo.ca::ftp/speakup/disks/fedora/current/*  .

Notice the trailing '.' dot. The --delete is to remove any files which
have been replaced entirely, though that only really happens when we go
through a version change.

Re: "mplayer"

[W. Nick Dotson]

I tried the "*" and "/" commands on both the numeric row, and the numeric keypad, to no avail.  Nor did "mute" work.  I just got a lot of gabbling from my 
synthesizer.

Aumix -v 100 aumix -l 100 aumix -1 100 aumix -2 100 aumix -3 100.  That sould
crank up your volume.

Re: "mplayer"

[Sean McMahon]

My bad for an earlier message on setting your mixer volume.  Yes use alsamixer
if you use alsa  don't use aumix if you don't have it obviously
