GolfgeoSo I've just found out that it was the keyboard!00:10
GolfgeoFound a sony one to replace the ms one and this one isn't showing that weirdness. Thankfully!00:11
Golfgeoalthough, now I've plugged it into this machine on another usb port... and the origional one isn't showing the weirdness???00:13
GolfgeoOke, this is much to weird! Have plugged the weird one back into it's origional port and it's good for now.00:17
GolfgeoGuessing this MS keyboard is just weirding out with Linux...00:17
Golfgeoah, there is the windows key error again!00:18
Golfgeoand that's also via the other USB port. So either there is something special going on with keybindings towards this specific keyboard, or it's toast00:20
Golfgeooh, just noticed it's not a MS, but a logitec keyboard... doh00:20
Golfgeotypes nice though! Well, untill the weirdness haha\00:21
Golfgeo...00:21
GolfgeoPeople, thanks for listening me ramble on for a bit! Sorry for the inconvinience!00:21
knomeno worries, enjoy00:25
GolfgeoThanks :)00:25
GolfgeoThanks all, have a great day! :)00:33

MiguelFullerI wonder how can I check what codec an mp3 file is using and with what codec I play it to get a smooth successful playback, right now I'm using gxine and xine-ui plus a codec package for parole that I guess will work on xine yet some mp3 files play and others crash gxine. So how to know how to play this mp3 file13:38
cfhowlettMiguelFuller, very detailed info with ffmpeg.  the command would be ffmpeg -i foo.mp313:40
pmjdebru1jnMiguelFuller: mp3 is the codec13:40
pmjdebru1jnoh you meant which library13:40
pmjdebru1jnldd $(which myplayer)13:40
pmjdebru1jnyou can use that to see which libraries the applications links to13:41
pmjdebru1jnfor all you know you're having issue with pulseaudio13:41
pmjdebru1jnor do ogg files play without issue13:41
pmjdebru1jnMiguelFuller: does mpg321/madplay play it fine from the console13:41
MiguelFullerpmjdebru1jn: mp3 can be produce by many codec am I wrong13:41
pmjdebru1jndoes ogg123 play ogg files fine13:41
pmjdebru1jnMiguelFuller: "codec" is a bit an ambiguous term13:41
MiguelFullerpmjdebru1jn: I don't know what library is13:41
pmjdebru1jncodec is often used to describe the standard... or the implementation (library)13:42
pmjdebru1jnwhich I why I prefer to use the the term library for the implementation13:42
pmjdebru1jnas it's not ambiguous13:42
pmjdebru1jncalling a codec is mostly a windows thing13:42
pmjdebru1jncalling the implemtation a codec* I meant13:42
pmjdebru1jnMiguelFuller: try mpg32113:42
pmjdebru1jnfor all you know gxine is just broken13:42
* pmjdebru1jn has heard about xine a loooong time :)13:43
pmjdebru1jnhasn;t*13:43
pmjdebru1jnMiguelFuller: does mpg321 play the mp3 fine?13:43
pmjdebru1jnand/or are you sure the mp3 file is valid13:44
pmjdebru1jnwhat does "file my.mp3" say?13:44
MiguelFullerI'll look to see if it plays on windows first to see if valid13:44
pmjdebru1jnnot needed13:44
pmjdebru1jntry mpg32113:44
MiguelFullerI don't have that13:46
MiguelFullerdont' have madplay either13:46
MiguelFullerso ffmpeg better than mediainfo13:47
MiguelFulleris smaller13:48
pmjdebru1jnsudo apt-get install mpg32113:50
pmjdebru1jnyou'll have it13:50
MiguelFullerwindows is not available atm13:52
MiguelFulleris mpg31 a player or a media reader13:52
pmjdebru1jnon xubuntu, on the cmdline, sudo apt-get install mpg32113:54
pmjdebru1jnthat will install it13:54
pmjdebru1jnthen 'mpg321 my.mp3' on the cmdline13:54
MiguelFullerpmjdebru1jn: oh wow it plays13:59
MiguelFullerwhy a small program play this and gxine can't14:00
MiguelFullercfhowlett: I did ffmpeg -i file.mp3 and it says there is a video track or stream how is that possible14:00
pmjdebru1jnI don't know of gxine is well maintained14:00
pmjdebru1jnfor parole you just need to relevant gstreamer files14:01
MiguelFullerbut I heard is better than parole14:01
MiguelFulleror the other media player for ubuntu that comes preinstalled14:01
pmjdebru1jnI somehow doubt that14:02
pmjdebru1jnanother option could the vlc though14:02
MiguelFullerpmjdebru1jn: can help me install the gstreamer files I get xv output error too could not initizlie14:02
MiguelFullervlc too heavy no way14:03
pmjdebru1jnsudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-libav gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly14:03
pmjdebru1jn"too heavy"?14:03
pmjdebru1jnit's audio/video decoding14:03
pmjdebru1jnit's quite intrinsically heavy14:03
MiguelFullerlet's see. I'm on a pentium 314:05
pmjdebru1jnheh14:05
pmjdebru1jnso video's out then14:05
MiguelFullerusing command line irc and links2 and stuff14:05
pmjdebru1jnthen why use a player that player video at all?14:05
pmjdebru1jnlook into mp3blaster :)14:05
pmjdebru1jnor herrie14:05
MiguelFullerwhy14:05
pmjdebru1jngoogle them14:06
cfhowlettbest choice overall: vlc      best choice command line: mplayer14:06
cfhowlettIMHO14:06
pmjdebru1jnI don't think video will matter on a p3 :)14:07
MiguelFullerpmjdebru1jn: I already have gsteamer commands you said14:09
MiguelFulleryet can't play that's ok I'll look for mplayer14:09
cfhowletthave you installed xubuntu-restricted-extras?  you might want to get that done.14:10
pmjdebru1jnMiguelFuller: if you're using mostly cli tools, srsly look into mp3blaster/herrie14:11
MiguelFullercfhowlett: I'll take a look14:12
MiguelFullerpmjdebru1jn: I already have it14:16
pmjdebru1jnthey're nice music players that are super light weight14:22
MiguelFullerpmjdebru1jn: I can't find a way to play a video that will play it's audio only I tried that on gxine and looked through mplayer help I tried -frames 0 but it will close the player as soon it starts14:29
pmjdebru1jnwhy?14:31
pmjdebru1jnffmpeg -i myvid.mp4 -acodec copy -vcodec none myaud.mp4; done14:31
pmjdebru1jnyou can use that to rip audio from video files permanently14:31
pmjdebru1jnbut that will keep the codec format14:31
cfhowletthttps://askubuntu.com/questions/368736/play-only-audio-with-vlc14:32
pmjdebru1jnffmpeg -i myvid.mp4 -codec:a libmp3lame -q:a 1 -codec:v none myaud.mp3; done14:32
MiguelFullerthat if I want to convert or rip as you said14:37
MiguelFullerI want to keep this as video tho14:37
MiguelFullercause it's a on usb and I play it on other computers14:37
cfhowlettMiguelFuller, fun fact: ffmpeg can extract the .mp3.14:38
cfhowlettffmpeg -i videoname.mp4 audioname.mp314:38
MiguelFullerk14:39
MiguelFullerwow that's nice14:41
* pmjdebru1jn already pasted that14:41
pmjdebru1jnit depend what format the audio is in the file14:41
MiguelFullerI can do what I want with xgine but last night my laptop ran out of memory and couldn't even do that anylonger14:42
pmjdebru1jnmost mp4's will have aac audio in them, thus will need transcoding, if you want to play it with an mp3 player14:42
pmjdebru1jnffmpeg -i myvid.mp4 -codec:a libmp3lame -q:a 1 -codec:v none myaud.mp314:42
pmjdebru1jnor ffmpeg -i myvid.mp4 -codec:a copy -codec:v none myaud.mp4 to just copy the audio as-is14:42
MiguelFullerpmjdebru1jn: will that create an mp4 that plays only audio14:44
pmjdebru1jnit should14:47
pmjdebru1jnbut you'd need an audio player that support MP4/AAC14:47
pmjdebru1jnin most cases14:47
pmjdebru1jntranscoding to mp3 will make them more universally usable14:48
MiguelFullerk14:55
