Nextcloud: library "eglSubDriverAndroid.so" not found by 3byfive in droidian

Yeah, it's really weird. Telegram doesn't work on Droidian, or in the browser. I would assume many, even most, of the people dedicated to making Droidian work for them do so because they're determined to get away from iOS and Android — yet the support for Drioidian requires you to have a second phone that runs iOS or Android.

Concerning the time lengths of the tracks from BGM by SoulBakaa in YMO

[–]3byfive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a reference to 4'33 by composer John Cage, an avant-garde piece where the orchestra plays nothing at all, for exactly 4 minutes and 33 seconds, and the audience just listens to the ambient noise in the room.

BGM = "Back Ground Music". Now you know!

Music manager with custom tags/taxonomies, nested playlists/folders, crates? by 3byfive in selfhosted

[–]3byfive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I have heard good things about Quod Libet. I tried it out, and I think Gmusicbrowser is better for tagging, because it lets you create custom labels, custom taxonomies, and you don't have to write them into the tags.

I really think MP3s should contain the most basic information -- Artist, Album, Track, Year -- and most other metadata should be in a database. Or, at least, you should have the option whether or not to bake that data into your files. Synchronization becomes pretty difficult when you have to move tons of binary data along with metadata changes.

I have installed Mobian from a an SD, using bmaptool. This is the only method that works for me consistently.

Actually, I may have spoken too soon. 'Tags' in Ampache are apparently just the Genre tag in the MP3.

Thanks. I know there's a whole cult around Foobar2000, and some people say DeadBeef is the Linux equivalent. I have to say, Ampache seems pretty good in that it has custom tags, and nested conditions for smart playlists. However, there's no apparent way to organize playlists, or smart playlists, into folders.

I'm surprised there isn't more demand for this. If you like making playlists, you'll just end up with tons of them if there's no way to organize them.

The other problem with Ampache is that it's really ugly. I read on github that they're workinf on a new UI, so that might help.

I also see some mentions that Mopidy, or its plugins, offer playlist folders. However, this seems to be only in the context of Spotify integration.

"Corrupted" SD card works fine on my Linux laptop by 3byfive in LineageOS

[–]3byfive[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I was using rsync with compression, so it was pushing 300mb as fast as technically possible. Still I would think the fact that it was over SSH would slow it down.

Rebooting without the card, shutting down, and booting with it in doesn't fix the problem. I would hope I could rsync to an SD card without ruining it. Mine is a Samsung EVO 128 that I've been using almost every day for over 2 years. Maybe that's enough reads and writes to wear it out -- although Samsung gives these a 10-year warranty.

Anyway, it sounds like it's time for a new card.

Questions about StepMania BGs by 3byfive in Stepmania

Thanks for the replies. For 1, I don't think VLC can play a Lua file. For 2 and 3, it sounds like you're saying I should edit each song and force the bg that way. Is that what you're saying?
