OK, thanks. I want to "translate" an icecast stream to shoutcast because the icecast is not supported by some flash players and i want to use XMMS to play an icecast stream and attaching in the same time this xmms to a shoutcast streaming server.

Guys to get xmms on karmic

Install jaunty versions of (for your architecture)

in order of install
libglib1.2ldbl_1.2.10-19build1
libglib1.2-dev_1.2.10-19build1

libgtk1.2-common_1.2.10-18.1build2_all.deb
libgtk1.2_1.2.10-18.1build2

Then install the jaunty version

http://www.pvv.ntnu.no/~knuta/xmms/

Only thing I noticed it it didn't install a launcher in Sound & Video, Easy enough to call from temrinal or open music file with custom command xmms.

I'm sure someone can let us know how to create correct xmms.desktop file for it.

I wanted an audio player similar to winamp from windows. Google suggested xmms. Another search and I found this page. This was a very accesible and easy-to-understand guide. I installed xmms in less than 10 minutes including a few breaks. Good job!!!

2009-09-02T21:45:20.840+03:00

It's all great, but you really shouldn't run
$ sudo make install
on a system that has a package management (unless you install kernel modules, maybe, but even then...)
It just defeats the purpose, and can easily brake things down without telling you what exactly is being broken.
There are different ways to build xmms (or other software) from sources and pack it into a .deb or .rpm of what have you. dh_make is the best way to do it, but checkinstall is somewhat easier.

2009-09-02T20:07:50.927+03:00

I added Dapper Drake repo and installed xmms 1.2.10, so I've many plugins which are standardly: xmms-arts, xmms-crossfade ... etc., but is still one problem. I can't find compiled visualistation plugin vumeter (last tar.gz version 0.92). I tried to convert through Package Converter .rpm package from Fedora to .deb, but this package doesn't work. The installation path is /usr/local/bin..., usr/local/share... . I attempted compile from sources vumeter and I wrote apt-get build-dep vumeter, no result. When I was in catalogue root@s
desktop:/home/s/Pulpit/vumeter-0.9.2# I wrote ./configure and console returned error: checking for XMMS - version >= 1.2.9... no
*** The xmms-config script installed by XMMS could not be found.
*** If XMMS was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the XMMS_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to xmms-config.
configure: error: *** XMMS >= 1.2.9 not installed - please install first ***. But xmms is installed in system with all the dependencies. Vumeter plugin .deb is also for audacious, but not intagrated with program (precisely program windows). I've attempted to copy vumeter.so and vumeter.la from /usr/local/lib/xmms/Visualisation to /usr/lib/xmms/Visualisation. Xmms > Visualisation > Visualisation plugins and Analogue VU meter plugin exist, but not enabled - turned off. Has anybody compiled package with path /usr/share... , /usr/lib/ ... , /usr/bin ... good package for amd64 architecture? I'm looking for in Google, but still without good solution.

2009-07-26T00:52:12.682+03:00

Also thank you so much, audacious is a kludge it crashes all the time, runs away with cpu on nearly a daily basis, every time i add lots of new songs to the playlist takes like 10 mins while it parses thru the id3 tags and just hangs everything in the meantime, freaks out occasionally and adds a few thousand versions of the same playlist, etc etc. the ONLY thing going for it is that it handles UTF-8..

I srsly wanna slappa whoever thought it a good idea to take out the lovely perfectly working XMMS and force this piece of crud apon Ubuntu users. Have been head desking over this for a year, already manually installed xmms on my lappy, and now gonna uninstall audacious with a vengance... wth ppl, srsly...

Just now i accidently cleared the playlist and spent 30 mins trying to get it to readd my 80,000 or so mp3s to audacious only to have it crash repetedly... xmms handled those fine. >_<

Thank you very much! I had been in a world where xmms was not bad for too long (FreeBSD). So when did you have to have a iTunes clone to play mp3s? Upp ummm "Media files".
XMMS does what it is supposed to do: PLAY MUSIC!

Thanks again -
Cheers!

2009-04-06T02:29:00.000+03:00

you can easily pack it into a deb package. there's a good utility called checkinstall. in order to make a deb package you download the sources, run ./configure with whatever parameters you want, and then 'checkinstall make install', answer a few questions (or rather fill in a few lines), and voilà, you have a fresh .deb. no need to keep the sources any longer, even if you wanted to uninstall it later. it can be uninstalled with 'dpkg --purge xmms' or through synaptic (or other front-end).

2009-03-26T20:28:00.000+02:00

Trying to remove installation in the course of troubleshooting audacity audio issues and thinking the only strange thing I've done to my computer (aside from tweaking xorg.conf) is install XMMS per the instructions on this page, which are very thorough.

However, instructions for removal (see below) are very sparse. I had to locate the XMMS folder (usr/lib/xmms) then once I was in that folder (cd /usr/lib/xmms/) I typed the instructions "make uninstall" and got the following:

make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'. Stop.

O great and mighty Sartek! I beg of you: Would you expand on instructions for complete removal of your XMMS installation?

And before well meaning persons who are NOT the Great and Highly Esteemed Sartek begin responding that my Audacity audio issues have nothing to do with my XMMS installation: Even if they don't, I still think we should have a REVERSE in case we want to get back where we were before we followed these instructions.

Thank you.

Jerit

in XMMS' source folder execute:
# make uninstall

if you removed it, follow again the steps
so:
# ./configure --prefix=/usr
# make uninstall

2009-02-14T22:53:00.000+02:00

with other programs like amarok and vlc, I expecienced that the beats sometimes were falling over each other. with xmms2 not, but the graphical interface of xmms is obviously much better than xmms!
