Arch Linux User Repository

here's a universal ffmpeg plugin with a pkgbuild clone for debian, some one needs to convert it for arch. https://gitea.com/DUR/xmms-plugin-ffmpeg . also in the xmms debbuild https://gitea.com/DUR/xmms there's a patch for fixing alsa and a sed command to make double size the default.

now glib is fixed. It works now

xmms2 is very different from xmms and also very old. I think what's broken here is actually glib1.

This package is mostly for nostalgia. They are several xmms/winamp maintained clones. qmmp, audacious and i'm sure many others. I recommend you try one of those. Some one will eventually fix glib1 because that affects many historic packages that quite a few people care about.

As XMMS is abandonned and forked to XMMS2 present in extra repositiory, do we have to go to XMMS2 ?

It's broken and the maintainer hasn't logged in for more then a year.

Hi everyone. I was able to install this package successfully, but upon attempting to launch XMMS I get

GLib-CRITICAL **: file gstrfuncs.c: line 186 (g_strconcat): assertion `string1 != NULL' failed.

** CRITICAL **: file configfile.c: line 56 (xmms_cfg_open_file): assertion `filename != NULL' failed.

Was just curious if anybody had any suggestions. Thanks.

Thanks for that @l8086, however I still get

<artificial>:(.text.startup+0xb7): undefined reference to `srandomdev'

with lto disabled

@mikearch : the culprit is the -flto option (present in Arch's standard CFLAGS and LDFLAGS). It messes with the configure/compilation, giving unrelated error messages. Please see my previous comment on how to solve this. By the way this package seems orphan. If the current maintainer, @mdominguez, agrees, I can continue to maintain it.

Agree with previous comment regarding xmms-pulse. Makes things much smoother.
