[SOLVED] ncmpcpp 0.6.x depreciated commandline arguments

Hmmm, I used to have external keyboard shortcuts and mouse bindings to pause/switch tracks at will. Now it is gone in 0.6.x beta and I don't have 0.5.x anymore since I last cleared the pkg cache recently.. Time to visit ARM and downgrade.

Then I dont see the issue AT ALL. just use mpc. its also not running at all
Also convenient for you to ignore the rest of my statement . Oh well. I'm just stating that it was more convenient to use ncmpcpp for my use case and I'm quite content to keep ncmpcpp pinned at 0.5.10. As for my OP, I didn't notice any news from the project's page that some of ncmpcpp's commandline arguments were depreciated and reported it here. The subsequent reply post rightfully pointed out that mpc offered the same commandline options. For me, there are two options, keep ncmpcpp pinned or move over to mpc. I decided to go with the former. That is all I'm going to say.
EDIT: Since I tend to control mpd in the background (outside of ncmpcpp or mpc) while working in a DE, I changed all of my keyboard shortcuts and mouse gestures to 'mpc foo' Just laziness on my part *shrugs*

Commandline arguments to open private firefox window with toolbox (web console) open.

Hi there :)
I would like to launch FireFox 33.1 from Visual Studio 2013 with the commandline arguments that will:
1.) Open a private window (no cache/no history)
2.) Will have the toolbox open with the Console tab selected (Toolbox is normally opened with F12)
I tried launching with:
-private-window -> this worked fine, new private window opens up
but the console parameters do not work:
-console -> no console
-jsconsole -> a slimmed down popup
-inspector -> no console
Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Cor-el's suggestion resolved my problem. Apparently the MOZ_NO_REMOTE variable was set to 1 on my system variables. I never made it, and really have no idea how it got there, but deleting this variable and restarting firefox has resolved the issue. Thanks Cor-el!
Marking case: Solved
Solution: Verify the MOZ_NO_REMOTE variable is NOT set to 1. This can be achieved by simply deleting this variable.

Nevermind..got it working after configured that I have to put this line in .ncmpcpp/config:
visualizer_look = "+|"
Anybody have a better look for the visualizer?
I also have tried several figures like "=="..hmm..kinda like it..

I even tried xmodmap to no avail:

keycode 164 = XF86AudioPlay
keycode 163 = XF86AudioNext
What gives? The other xbindkeys work well. What is causing the ncmpcpp segfault or how do I go about finding out more info?

Wow I feel dumb. Seems like ncmpcpp changed quite a bit since I last used it (around last Sept!?). Looks like we use mpc instead, example "mpc next" "mpc prev" "mpc toggle". Marking as solved.

[solved] ncmpcpp - album sort?

Have recently set up a headless server for my multimedia needs. Since I control it via ssh I had to install a console music player and have decided on mpd/ncmpcpp. One thing that bugs me is that the Media Library sorts with Artist as the first criteria. Even in the 2-column view where Album takes precedence, it is still Album (sorted by artist), which is kind of silly since I can get that already in the 3 column view. And so it is difficult to access my albums which are compilations of many artists. Is there any way I can have "Album" and see all the songs in that album in the next column?
Or failing which are there any other console players I can use?

Thats what the albumartist tag is for. And ncmpcpp supports this one just fine. just add tag "albumartist = Soundtrack" (for example) on those albums.
to make ncmpcpp sort media library using this tag, hit ` and then A for albumartist.
**edit** also make sure, to add the albumartist tag to the supported ones in mpd.conf

[SOLVED[Ncmpcpp music visualizer]

Hey.
I've done few search on how to achieve that feature... but can't figure how to get it.
I have set a path on mpd.conf with the "path" line, and on the ncmpcpp config with i set the path to it.
What i am doing wrong?

Multiple Strings as Commandline argument

Hello people,
Everything is working properly, but I have a problem starting a method via command line argument.
int main(int argc, char** argv)
     char *p2Jar =     "-Djava.class.path=C:\\path\\myJAR.jar";
     char *p2Lib =     "";
     JNI_IF JNIInterfaceObj(p2Jar, p2Lib);
     JNIInterfaceObj.setClassName("package/depth/MyClass");;
     JNIInterfaceObj.setMethodName("main");
     JNIInterfaceObj.getVM()->DestroyJavaVM();
     return 0;
void JNI_IF::setMethodName(char* methodName)
     mid =     env->GetStaticMethodID(cls, methodName, "([Ljava/lang/String;)V");
     const char * t_argv = "-m tomtom_utrecht_2008_04.db3 -i \"L;ID;0,0,15280001229524,15280001349498,-15280001349500\" -if LOCATION_STRING -of BINARY64";
     jobjectArray applicationArgs = env->NewObjectArray(1, env->FindClass("java/lang/String"), NULL);
     jstring applicationArg0 = env->NewStringUTF(t_argv);
     env->SetObjectArrayElement(applicationArgs, 0, applicationArg0);
     if (mid != NULL) env->CallStaticVoidMethod(cls, mid, applicationArgs);
     else printf("Method %s corrupted!\n", methodName);
}the command line argument is not accepted. the real string i have to deliver to the function is:
-m tomtom_utrecht_2008_04.db3 -i "L;ID;0,0,15280001229524,15280001349498,-15280001349500" -if LOCATION_STRING -of BINARY64
As you can see, a *"* is used in that string. I quoted it with the *\*
Is that wrong quoting?
Does anybody have any hints for me?
Thank you!
Cheers huck

With that earlier code you've mentioned in the previous post, there was the "70" as inputparameter and that worked properly.
The thing what have been changed is, I have a " in my string itself.Nope.
You have CODE which has nothing to do with java nor jni to which WE do not have access.
Let us call that code X.
X is doing something. WE don't know what. And it isn't working. Since we don't have X we can't possibly tell you what is wrong.
One thing I can tell you - you are embedding double quotes in your string. Since that presumably isn't working it is pretty certain that that by itself is not going to lead to a solution. However to verify you should print your arg string before using it - JUST before you use it. Then you can verify the form.
Other than that I can provide some guesses.
1. X is calling an external executable. X does not have a way to correctly parametrize arguments. Or it does and you are not using it. If the first then you are probably out of luck. If the second then you should figure it out.
2. X is doing some sort of pseudo argument passing mechanism. Either you do not understand how it works or the code is doing it wrong. Solution to the first is to figure out the correct way. Second best you can do is try some other way of doing it.
3. You are attempting to parametrize or escape something. The question is what. Normally the idiom (quotes) would only be needed with spaces in the parameter. Presumably you tried it without quotes. There might be a way to escape the '-' (only thing I can see that would need double quotes). You MIGHT do that with \\- (two back slashes - not one.) But there might be some other way as well.

This could be a stupid question, but does anyone know how to set the server address for ncmpcpp so it can connect to a remote host?

ncmpcpp doesn't interact with oss directly, it displays the volume it receives from mpd.
so in mpd.conf, you need to uncomment the lines for controlling the oss mixer
I have OSS enabled in mpd config. Are there any other lines? This is what I have:

[Solved] ncmpcpp & Bash Colors?

I'm posting this in the newbie corner, because I suspect that it's a really noob question. Plus, this is my first post:
I'm messing around with ncmpcpp, trying to get it looking nice. I found the "post your ncmpcpp config" thread, and found a couple of configurations that I really liked... mostly because of the color schemes. So, I tryied copying the configs linked, and the colors end up really different on my screen.
At first I thought it was something to do with the config file, but I don't think so anymore... I've tried looking for bash color schemes, but haven't found anything that really seemed to do what I wanted.
Example:
See the config found in this post: linky
Look at the linked screenshot, and compare it to what I see on my machine:
My machine
What I've got: rxvt-Unicode-256color, ncmpcpp.
So, what's the stupid little detail that I'm missing?

There is a page on the Wiki detailing how you can contribute: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Getting_Involved
You can also donate, if you would like to make a monetary contribution.
Essentially, there are any number of avenues for you to support Arch; it depends on your skills and your enthusiasm. Read the Wiki, become as familiar as you can with the Arch Way and then lend a hand where you feel best able to help out - all and any contributions are welcomed if they are consistent with the Arch philosophy.

CommandLine arguments

I manage multiple client projects across many servers. I use all access types (RDS, FTP, and Site Definition). These various projects display in the "Sites" dropdown under the File tab in the control panel. I would like to create links from a manubar tool that open specific sites in Dreamweaver. Is there a way to pass a parameter to DW that instructs it to open a specific site? I tried passing the dws file, but I get an error (file cannot be opened), plus, it seems that DW is trying to open the text of the dws file rather than the site the file represents.

u can use this
Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
          Process p = null;
          try
               System.out.println("File Generated");
               p = r.exec("cmd.exe /c start ");
               p.waitFor();
          catch (Exception e)
               e.printStackTrace();
          }

[SOLVED] ncmpcpp/mpd - Error while writing tags

Hello again, newbie corner folks!
I probably never noticed this because I used to run Arch mostly on my netbook with all partitions formatted to EXT4, while I kept the desktop running Windows for gaming and etcetera. I've been cracking my head for the past hour and just couldn't figure this out.
My /etc/fstab entry for the NTFS partition always worked with options set to defaults without any problems, I could read/write without even owning the /mnt/data folder (which I just did trying to figure this out, it was still root:root).
With partition unmounted:
klaus@void ~ % ls -l /mnt
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 klaus users 4096 Jan 6 15:34 data
With partition mounted:
klaus@void ~ % ls -l /mnt
total 24
drwxrwxrwx 1 klaus users 24576 Apr 17 18:12 data
Current entry on /etc/fstab:
UUID=7C76F10927DE59A4 /mnt/data ntfs-3g uid=klaus,gid=users 0 0
Already tried `uid=user1,gid=users,dmask=022,fmask=133`, `uid=username,gid=users,umask=0022` and some sane variations of those options and it still didn't work. I have ntfs-3g installed and mpd running on systemctl, so it seems to me like mpd is the one that's unable to write data.
I'd like to know how do I fix this and, if possible, an explanation as to why this is happening so I can better understand Arch.
Thanks!

System date as Command line argument

Hi
Can we pass system date as commandline argument to a java program.
If yes,How?
thnx in advance

A simple work-around:
public class Test {
     public static void main(String[] argv) {
          if (argv.length != 0) {
               if (argv[0].equalsIgnoreCase("date")) argv[0] = new java.util.Date().toString();
               System.out.println(argv[0]);
}
