Re: Can mplayer (JACK) connect to more than one client?

Yes, headless. VNC, behind a locked door. It handles the FM audio processing for the community radio station I volunteer for, kpov.org. If at midnight there is a power outage long enough for the UPS powering it to run out of juice, we don't need to have someone have to get out of bed and connect rem...

Re: Can mplayer (JACK) connect to more than one client?

A @reboot script runs as root. I don't recommend that. I start my scrips when logging in. The machine is meant to hit the ground running when restarted, unattended, without anyone needing to log in. If there's another way to run the script I don't know what it is. I've forgotten why I restart jack-...

Re: Can mplayer (JACK) connect to more than one client?

I mean, load the jack clients then run jack-plumbing, or load jack-plumbing first followed by the clients? Thank you!

Re: Can mplayer (JACK) connect to more than one client?

Thank you, @bluebell [ EDIT: Never mind my question about /etc/jack-plumbing ] jack-plumbing is throwing off this message: Rule file does not exist: '/etc/jack-plumbing'. I will be using an @reboot script to start jackd and load the various clients. Where would you suggest I put in the /usr/bin/jack...

Re: Can mplayer (JACK) connect to more than one client?

Very kind of you, bluebell ! jack_lsp reveals MPlayer [24001]:out_0 MPlayer [24001]:out_1 What has been hanging me is knowing that mplayer picks up a different PID every time and the example syntax ("PortAudio:out . [13579]") has that " . [#####]" stuff which stumped me. It looks...

Re: Can mplayer (JACK) connect to more than one client?

I spoke too soon. Jack-plumbing's syntax has me baffled. I have everything running the way I want. My source-client is mplayer and I want to use jack-plumbing it to connect to the two listen-clients. According to aj-snapshot, here is how things are: <client name="MPlayer [24001]"> <port na...

Re: Can mplayer (JACK) connect to more than one client?

Jack-plumbing sounds ideal. I am not finding example syntax, whether it reads in a config file or how one gets it running with all the rules loaded and enforcing them. I find only the man page, and it doesn't clearly (to me) explain how a user uses it. Thank you!

Can mplayer (JACK) connect to more than one client?

I'd like to be able to connect mplayer, using its -ao jack:port= syntax to connect to more than one listen-client. I've tried a few ways, such as mplayer -ao jack:port="client_1","client_2" But it only connects its output to "client_1" In Raysession I can wire up the tw...

Re: AV Linux support? I have a question

Thanks for answering! I feel like a very slow child right now -- yes, the icon was there and yes it works. You have more pressing things to take care of, thank you for pointing me to the MX Respins forum. I appreciate that you took the time to post a reply to my question. Have a good day!

AV Linux support? I have a question

Hi, I'm interested in giving AV Linux (MX edition) a test-drive. I have it installed, I'm looking at the desktop, I can't find any way to turn on wifi and connect to my hot spot. The very nice manual for MX AV Linux shows how to identify what network interface driver is found, but I can't tell how t...

Re: A way to mute sound card output in JACK?

Thanks for the ideas! I'm not running QjackCtl, but rather jackd right off the command line. Loading jack patchbay snapshots with aj-snapshot. Maybe there is a way I can load a snapshot that doesn't send audio to the output card, then reload the normal snapshot. That could be done by cron, the quest...

A way to mute sound card output in JACK?

Hi, I am running Ubuntu Studio 22.04. Pulseaudio is disabled, my input and output device is a USB audio interface, a Presonus Studio 24c. I need a way to briefly mute the playback card, from within Jack or something, and on a set schedule. Alsamixer shows that this card has no controls so I can't do...

tavasti, so yes -- jackd will print xrun errors to stdout. Thank you!

Re: Xruns? How to view? jackd

@ tseaver , that QjackCtl screencap you show doesn't look like a cli function I can use on the command line, it's in QjackCtl. But it looks to be a stdout thingy, yes? So is the -verbose output of jackd also going to show any x-runs? I could grep stdout for "xrun" yes? I'd prefer to not us...
