I need command line audio player to play ogg files

I want to be able to play some sound events from the command line. Is there a player for the intel imac that will do that?

  • Any command line audio player with song rating and play count?

    Is there any command line audio player that can handle song rating and play count? Thank you

    I answer my question: mpd + mpdcron can store song rating and play count and much more to sqlite database.

  • Need command line tool for batch converting rtf files to XSL-FO files

    Hi,
    We are executing a projects with more than 200 RTF templates.
    I am looking for a tool which can convert all my RTF's to XSL-FO files in one GO.
    Regards

    Hmm... I guess I never thought about doing it in Terminal. Honestly, I'm not sure if textutil can read the content of the textClipping files, as I've read elsewhere that they are strange in that they store the data in resource forks, which makes it tricky to programmatically manipulate them. But I'll look into it to see what I can find out from the manual. Thanks for your reply. I appreciate it.
    Some of them are in folders, but they are all over the hard drive, not necessarily all congregated in a single folder. I was thinking spotlight could, at the very least, display them all for me in the "All Files" option of Finder, so I could drag them all into an app capable of converting them in a batch. But maybe this command-line textutil could accomplish the same thing. I use Terminal for a lot of things, but this is not a command I have tried before. I'll have to read up on it.

  • [solved] command line music player

    Hi,
    i'm looking for a very simple command line music player like mpg123 but with a server option like mocp/mpd.
    Other than mocp or mpd i want it for playing files on-the-fly. Like browsing around and playing files i see in the current directory, queueing them, maybe with a curses interface like ncmpc.
    As far as i know, mpg123 can't queue and doesn't run in the background per default. mocp on the other hand comes very close but i don't think it can play files out of the current working directory like i want it.
    Do you know a tool that fits my description?
    Thanks in advance,
    demian

    fwiw, i have a script i call playnow which accepts a file path and plays it through mpd.  i use it for one-off downloaded content or whatever.  it just adds it to a temp folder, quickly updates the db, adds the temp folder to the current playlist (queuing) and plays it.
    it's been working well for me.  i also hear mpd accepts the file:/// uri scheme which kinda takes care of this usage case too.
    As far as I know, MPD's database is updated automatically via inotify as soon as a file is added, so I think you don't even need to update before playing.
    sounds great in theory, but i'm not so sure about in practice.
    for inotify to pick up the new file(s) and mpd to update itself all between bash executing `ln -s` and `mpc add` would be... impressive.  calling `mpc --wait update` manually means i only wait exactly as long as the update requires.
    thanks for the advice though, maybe i'll test it out and see.

  • Command Line CD Player

    Although VLC works fine on my computer, it seems wasteful just to play an audio CD. Can anyone recommend a command line CD player that will work with ALSA?

    I'll also throw in a shameless plug for nccd, a curses based cd player I've written in perl.  It can do cddb lookups if you are connected to the 'net.  It is very simple to use, but does require you to install a couple of perl modules. 
    Audio::CD is available on the aur, but Curses::UI is not.  I'll try to get it up there in the next day or so.  All documentation is available on the website.

    You may need an additional audio decoder to play the soundtrack of this file.
    This file contains a track in the Dolby AC3 Audio (code "8192") format. You may need to install a DirectShow decoder for this audio format in order to hear the soundtrack of this file.

    Luckily, there are DOZENS of video/media players and extensions avaliable for the Mac. Many of them are FREE, some of the better FREE ones are...
    PERIAN (quicktime extension)
    http://perian.org/
    QUICKTIME 7.6.6
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923
    VLC media player
    http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
    NICEPLAYER
    https://code.google.com/p/niceplayer/
    And if none of those work, there is a possibility that those video files may be corrupted.

  • Windows Media Player cannot play the file after ame encode with out audio?

    strange behavior using media encoder today
    ive selected no audio when encoding an h264 for the android...every time (5x) I tried to encode I got "Windows Media Player cannot play the file" when I selected audio the error went away..
    the other issue I had was the work area only , my encodes were including the whole sequence an not the "work area only" when selected?
    buggy day ..love to edit ..

    The export without audio is an .m4v file, which many plays have trouble with.  For now, use the audio, which creates a playable .mp4 file.

  • Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file

    Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file
    How do I fix this?

    That would probably be a question best taken up in on a site for Windows support questions. Not knowing anything about the movie you're trying to play, all I can suggest is to confirm that the format of the movie you wish to play is supported in your version of WMP. If it isn't, you'll either need to convert the movie or use some other player software.
    Regards.

  • Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer

    I can not find solution to the issue "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer" while attempting to play the file with *.wmv extension. Some computer fail in spite of said missing codec
    being present according the windrows media player in Windows 7 box

    If Rashid's link does not resolve it... consider the below:
    A)  As of this writing, the codec for GoToMeeting webinar recordings ("G2M4" codec) was only mentioned in *one* web page, of about 10 Microsoft web pages I read, to resolve this problem (and that codec is not included, yet, in their diagnostic tool),
    so if you're trying to play a GoToMeeting webinar, simply get the codec for it from their site:  http://www.GoToMeeting.com/codec
    B)  If Windows Media Player (WMP) will not even open the file, you won't be able to get the 4-character codec's name (like "G2M4") from WMP.  But VLC's media player will tell you that code, even when it fails to run the video.... and then you can
    search the internet for it. 
    C)  The problem sometimes is not actually a missing codec.  Other things that have helped others, some from: 
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-pictures/the-windows-media-player-12-could-not-play-the-wma/bb823460-44df-4e8d-ba2c-42ec0e111e5a?page=3
    (1) running the System File Checker (SFC.exe),
    (2) opening WMP first (running both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions) then opening the file from inside them,
    (3) confirming that WMP was the file association for WMV files,  
    (4) Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound, selecting my audio device, and looking for a "5.1" setting (I didn't have one), to change to "stereo",
    (5) checking Tools\Options\Devices\Speakers\Properties\Speaker Properties\AdvancedPlayback\ Speakers /HP\Properties\Advanced\Default Format, to select "CD or DVD Quality" (if that setting appears for your device),
    Good luck,

  • CohQL command line Tool select query output in file (unix)

    Ho to insert Coherence CohQL command line Tool select query result in file in unix platform. I have tried below query but failed
    query.cmd -s -c -l "select * from 'dist-example'" >myOutput.txt
    I also tried below query, result is displayed in command line but no file is created in folder.
    select * from dist-example >myOutput.txt
    I also tried one more query, result is displayed in command line but no file is created in folder.
    select * from dist-example >/opt/bin/myOutput.txt

    Hi,
    In Unix you should use query.sh instead of query.cmd
    In your case then the command would be smething like:
    query.sh -s -c -l "select * from 'dist-example'" >myOutput.txt
    You can also try using '>>' instead of '>' in order to redirect to a text file.
    Hope this helps.

  • Re: Itunes will not play OGG files.

    I am not being combative. I asked a simple question and got a stuck up answer. The I should have got back is apple does not feel like making Itunes play OGG files. It is more of a management descion then anything else.

    Hi Mac Dudes,
    I am not running Mac, but have the same problem. I have managed to get my music back by doing the following, hope this helps someone else (from my post in the windows section):
    To cut a long story short...
    Installed iTunes 7 over my existing 6.0.5 setup. Disaster.
    No audio, Audio card now seemed to have been disabled by iTunes 7 install (SoundBlaster Audigy).
    Rebooted and sound back but all audio played from iTunes 7 was distorted and impossible to listen to. Audio from Windows Media Player was fine.
    Uninstalled Quicktime and iTunes 7. Downloaded iTunes 6.0.5 from Apple.
    (Windows) http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes605forwindows.html
    or
    (Macintosh) http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes605.html
    On launching iTunes 6.0.5 I received the following error: Cannot read iTunes Library.itl as created by newer version of iTunes (or something to that effect).
    Opened up my iTunes folder which I have on a separate partition and located the folder "Previous iTunes Libraries". I backed up the present .itl file into this folder (called it iTunes 7 fookup for reference) and then copied the latest .itl backup (which was iTunes Library 2006-09-13, yours may have a different date), back into the iTunes folder and renamed it to "iTunes Library.itl"
    Launched iTunes 6.0.5 and my old version of iTunes is now back to its former glory and my music (thank god) is now playing as before.
    <Rant Alert>Thanks for nothing Apple, that's 5 hours of my life I will never get back. As for iTunes 7, you can stick it where the sun doesn't shine.

  • How to install Sony audio player to play video on Sony tv over thunderbolt connection?

    When I play movies via thunderbolt connection to my Sony tv the audio won't play over the tv speakers.

    Hi,
    I've posted many times about this: we can buy a $70 BD player with HDMI, it works first time, all the times but most of the times HDMI won't work on a $1,000 machine called computer. MS, video card vendors and computer vendors need to sit down and discuss this seriously.
    In this case, updating video card driver may help and somtimes keep trying and trying.
    Regards.

  • Command Line Audio

    I'm looking for a simple way to record audio from the command line in OS X.
    Is there a tool similar to record or arecord?

    Hi All, thanks for the responses. I tried out cmus, but it seems to want to operate in ncurses mode only. I couldn't find a way to do something like:
    cmus filename &
    and have it just play a file and go away. I am looking for something like that to play sounds as part of XFCE4 startup and shutdown sequences. Totally non intereractive, you just put the command into the XFCE4 scripts and voila! you get sound.
    moc worries me. I run KDE too, and there is a moc already defined on my system, in /opt/qt/bin, which declares itself to be the Qt Meta Object Compiler. I figure I don't want to mess with that by installing something ELSE called moc. So, reluctantly I set moc aside.
    That's why the executable is called mocp.
    Btw, I admit I didn't read your original thread, only the title, and the answers.
    moc / cmus / mpd+ncmpc are not what you want at all, these are full featured music players.

  • Flash audio player script played MP3 sped-up for only one user

    Hello all,
    My first post here; I hope this is the right forum for a
    general/newbie
    Flash question.
    I'm using a Flash audio player script that I got here:
    http://www.1pixelout.net/code/audio-player-wordpress-plugin/
    Here it is on the web page, a few lines down from the top of
    the blog post:
    http://mojomom.blogspot.com/2008/06/mojo-mom-podcast-momma-zen.html
    It's an MP3 of a podcast which has been working fine
    everywhere I've tested
    it. But we just heard from someone who says that when she
    tried it, the
    audio was sped up so that "the voices were like chipmunks".
    Anyone have any idea what might have caused that?
