NEW: audio/cmus

cmus is a small ncurses-based music player. It supports
various output
methods by output plugins. It has got completely
configurable key
bindings and it can be controlled from the outside via
cmus-remote(1).

Tested on amd64 and i386. Please test and comment.

Regards,
Tim

Builds and installs fine.

But why can't I see anything when I start cmus?
It looks like this here:
http://blarzwur
st.de/openbsd/cmus.png

If I type ':' I see it that char, but I don't see the
command behind it.
If I type :bla I can see the red 'Error: unknown command'
message.

I typed and :a ~/music and :player-play, this works, but
without seeing
anything...

Don't know if this is normal or if it's my own fault?

It certainly isn't normal. (The screenshots at
http://onion
.dynserv.net/~timo/cmus.html will give you an idea of
what
it should look like.)

Does pressing ^L (refresh screen) help?

What terminal emulator are you using? Does it make any
difference if you
start cmus in an xterm or on the console?

Thanks for testing.

Regards,
Tim

Yes, I saw that.
Does it look like that for you?

No, it doesn't.

I tried it in xterm, rxvt and in console. The same
everywhere.
The only thing I see is the error message if I type in a
wrong command
or the ':'-character when typing a command.

If I hit key 5 (which is the file browser)  I can see
directory entries
and change directories but it doesn't remove entries from
the direcotry
before (that means entries of the current dir and the one
displayed
before are shown).

Pretty strange, if you ask me...

Looks like I'm seeing the same behaviour.

It appears cmus uses nl_langinfo(3) to get the locale's
character set.
In the C locale, nl_langinfo() returns `646' (ASCII).
libiconv does not
support `646', which causes the problems you described. I
have patched
cmus so that it uses locale_charset() from libiconv
instead.

Could you test the new port (which I'll send separately to
ports) and
see if cmus now looks as it is supposed to?

Tim

Yes, now it looks as it is supposed to look!
I can see everything and it looks good and usable.

Works for me on i386.
