headless xmms2 and adding FLAC files
by Turbocapitalist from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4W9T2)
I'd like to use the shell to add FLAC files to an xmms2 playlist headlessly. I'm playing around with a headless Rasberry Pi 3A+ on Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster), trying to play FLAC files with xmms2 and having no luck so far. I've got the plugin installed:
Code:$ apt-cache policy xmms2 xmms2-plugin-flac | grep -B 1 Installed
xmms2:
Installed: 0.8+dfsg-18.2
--
xmms2-plugin-flac:
Installed: 0.8+dfsg-18.2And I can play WAV audio files over bluetooth using aplay, albeit after a bit of fiddling:
Code:$ aplay -D headset /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Rear_Left.wavIt's hard to find current xmms2 documentation. However, taking a guess, when I try to load files,
Code:$ xmms2 server import /media/pi/Music/It just pauses briefly and then shows no files in the queue or playlist.
Code:$ xmms2 list
Total playtime: 0:00:00I have pored over dozens of guides and a few manual pages, some of the former are out of date even on the project's own web site. Also, pointing xmms2 at the audio device may be a related task, but first, how do I get FLAC files into the queue or current playlist?
