[Gnump3d-users] Kudos and questions

[Michael Rensing]

Hello,

I notice from the archive that this is a low bandwidth listserv, so I 
won't lurk in hopes that I'll see an answer...

First of all, this is a great project. I've been trying to bend my head 
around icecast, and how to play tunes from my linux box, and the list of 
features I had in mind is exactly what gnump3d already has.

My main reason for wanting to use gnump3d is so that I can stream mp3's 
to my iPaq over my wifi network. There isn't a theme that quite works 
for the iPaq display, but I figure I can easily fix that. The bigger 
hassle is that MediaPlayer and the PocketPC RealPlayer don't recognize 
m3u streams. There seem to be a few freeware players out there, but I 
left my synch cradle is at the office this weekend, so I can't install 
and try them.

In the meantime, I'm trying it out with MusicMatch on my Windows laptop.

Now for the questions: 
- In html pages in the lines where songs are listed, there are often 
tags that aren't showing up, so that I just see " - - -" instead of the 
album, song title, etc. The tags exist, so there must be a bug. Any idea 
how to track it down? There don't appear to be any special characters.
- I'm using MusicMatch as my player, and there's no problem playing the 
music, but the titles that show in the playlist are the URL strings, and 
all the spaces are showing "%20" instead of the space. Can anything be 
done about this?
- There are plenty of warning messages that show up when I start the 
server. Do you want to hear about them? They're mostly "uninitialized 
value" warnings.

I'm not bad at working with perl, but I don't have much experience with 
object oriented code. I'm willing to help out, but you'd have to help me 
get started.

Regards,
Michael
