Jukebox Server

The server Jukebox is dead

One of the fans was making an awful sounds and the web interface for the jukebox needed much love. Zebra is now replacing its funcationality. For more information on how to play music off of Zebra, please see the Music page. The home directory has been backed up to Pony, /d1/backup-old-jukebox-home/

Access Info

jukebox.local Host: jukebox User: jukebox/password

The jukebox server is at 172.30.0.13 Its currently running a pulse audio daemon so you can connect and serve media through it that way.

Future Design Plans

Adding more disk space and increasing the library size

Elucidate directory organizing and playlist creation wrt moc

Enabling users with remote libraries (aka their own music) to play with a non-apple music streamer, or a shared SD card catalog of albums/playlists/genre content)

MOC

Once you are into the jukebox use MOC by typing 'moc' at a prompt. MOC is a console audio player, look at the MOC manual if you are unfamiliar with it.

NAME

      MOC - console audio player

SYNOPSIS

      mocp [OPTIONS] [FILE ...]

DESRIPTION

      MOC  is  a  console audio player with simple ncurses interface. It sup‚
      ports OGG, wave, and MP3 formats. Just run mocp, go to  some  directory
      using menu and press enter to start playing file, program will be play‚
      ing automaticaly rest of the files in the directory.

      With no options and no file arguments the  program  begins  in  current
      directory  or in MusicDir if StartInMusicDir option is set. If you give
      a directory on the command line, MOC will try to go there.  With  files
      or  multiple  directories,  everything  will  be  added to the playlist
      recursively.

OPTIONS

      If an option can be also set in the  configuration  file,  the  command
      line overrides it.

      -D --debug
             Run  in  debug  mode. Client and server logs much information to
             debug files.  Don’t use this, the server log is large.  This  is
             only available if MOC was compiled without --disable-debug.

      -S --server
             Run only the server and exit.

      -F --foreground
             Can  be  used only with -S. Run the server in foreground and log
             everyting to stdout.

      -R --sound-driver NAME
             Use the specified sound driver. This can be OSS, ALSA,  or  null
             (for  debugging).  Some of the drivers could not be compiled in.
             This option is called SoundDriver in configuration file.

      -m --music-dir
             Start in MusicDir (set in configuration file). This can be  also
             set in configuration file as StartInMusicDir.

      -a --append
             Append  files,  directories  (recursivelly)  and playlists given
             after options to the playlist. Don’t start the interface.

      -c --clear
             Clear the playlist.

      -p --play
             Start playing from the first item on the playlist.

      -f --next
             Request playing the next song from the server’s playlist.

      -r --previous
             Request playing the previous song from the server’s playlist.

      -s --stop
             Request stop playing from the server.

      -x --exit
             Bring down the server.

      -P --pause
             Request pause from the server.

      -U --unpause
             Request unpause from the server.

      -G --toggle-pause
             Toggle between play/pause.

      -T --theme theme
             Use a theme file. If the path is not absolute, the file will  be
             searched in /usr/share/moc/themes/ (depends on installation pre‚Äê
             fix), ~/.moc/themes/ and in the current directory.

      -C --config FILE
             Use the specified config file instead of the default. An example
             can be found in /usr/share/doc/moc/examples/.

      -M --moc-dir DIR
             Use  the  specified  MOC  directory instead of the default. This
             also causes to use the config file from that directory. This can
             be also specified in the config file using the MOCDir option.

      -y --sync
             This  copy  of  the interface will be synchronizing the playlist
             with other clients. This option is calles  SyncPlaylist  in  the
             configuration file.

      -n --nosync
             This  copy  of  the  interface  will  not  be  synchronizing its
             playlist with other clients (see above).

      -A --ascii
             Use ASCII characters to draw lines (helps on some terminals).

      -i --info
             Print the information about the currently played file.

      -Q --format FORMAT_STRING
             Print information about the currently played file using a format
             string.  Replace string sequences with proper information:

      State  %state

      File   %file

      Title  %title

      Artist %artist

      SongTitle
             %song

      Album  %album

      TotalTime
             %tt

      TimeLeft
             %tl

      TotalSec
             %ts

      CurrentTime
             %ct

      CurrentSec
             %cs

      Bitrate
             %b

      Rate   %r

      \n     \n

      -e --recursively
             Alias for -a for backward compatybility.

      -h --help
             Print list of options with short description and exit.

      -V --version
             Print program version and exit.

      -v --volume
             Adjust  the  mixer  volume.  You  can set (-v 50), or adjust (-v
             +10), (-v -10).

      -t --toggle

      -o --on

      -u --off

             Followed by a list of  identifiers,  these  will  control  MOC’s
             playlist  options.   Valid  identifiers:  shuffle,  repeat,  and
             autonext. Can be shortened to s, r, and n respectively.

             Example: -t shuffle,r,n would toggle shuffle repeat and autonext
             all at once.

FILES

      ~/.moc   MOC  directory  for  configuration file, socket, pid file, and
             other data.

      ~/.moc/config

             Configuration file of MOC. Format is very simple, to see how  to
             use  it,  look  into example configuration file (config.example)
             distributed with the program.

      ~/.moc/themes
             /usr/share/moc/themes

             Default directories for theme files.

BUGS

      Command line options that affects the server bahaviour  (like  --sound-
      driver)  are  ignored  if  the server is already running at the time of
      executing mocp. The user is not warned about this.
