A new fullscreen music player with a demo-like GUI that out of the box can play all supported formats from HVSC & Modland (online). Beta testers wanted.



Here's a youtube video with a quick demo:

Here's a release with DEB packages for Ubuntu 64bit:
https://github.com/.../chipmachine/releases/tag/v1.0-beta2

And here's the server side project that let's you share your playlists:
https://github.com/sasq64/chipstat
http://wired-height-596.appspot.com

(API is public so other players can use it).

Managed to compile it, and after a first look I can say: Wow, this is amazing!

I have 2 questions though.
1) The UI is very heavy on my CPU, is there a possibility to decrease the processor load?
2) Are there any plans to add a proper playlist editor?

That's strange - the UI is not supposed to be heavy. It's designed for the Raspberry PI and works fine there. Maybe you get software rendering? The GUI is OpenGL.

Yes, Playlist editor is (almost) next on my list.

BTW, if you compiled - did you do "git checkout develop" first to compile the development branch?

Haha no, I nicely followed the instructions on the main page :D

Could be an OpenGL problem indeed. The machine claims direct rendering is up and running, but I remember having problems with it before. Do you know how I can check if Chipmachine uses software rendering or not?

My bad, The link should have been:
https://github.com/sasq64/chipmachine/tree/develop :)

Alright, have development version set up now.

Pity that this is receiving so little attention - perhaps a Windows build would help to generate some?

Another thing, could you write a little guide on adding other collections? Was trying to add ASMA and SNDH today, to no avail. Kept getting

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'lua_exception'
what(): end

Probably because of the missing song_list?

Also one more suggestion, please add a possibility to force 6581 resp. 8580 SID.

Great work, thank you!

Custom collections are not supported yet, I prioritized the out-of-the-box functionality.
Plugin settings, playlist editor etc are coming.
