ES developers UNITE!

@AlexMurphy bgm mpg123 combo doesnt pause on emulator start. There is no control over the playback. I was interested in a light weight yet controllable media player integrated with ES and hence my efforts.

@Hex It pauses on every emu I launch. It picks it up at the same point when I exit. It has NEVER played over an emulator or when I have left to the command line. I don't get it.

@AlexMurphy Aparently I am running an outdated version :|

[AlexMurphy]

@Hex It would seem so. It works brilliantly for me!

*and I am totally "up-to-date"

[Hex]

@AlexMurphy I apologise if I sounded rude.

[AlexMurphy]

@Hex No worries.

[Hex]

@AlexMurphy Offer still stands. Would you like to test my mediaplayer?

[AlexMurphy]

@Hex I would, thank you. I tried installing deadbeef from zerojays repo but could not get that to run any music. I need to pick up and extra SD card to test it on. I probably have one lying about here somewhere... but yes I am definitely interested in testing / helping.

Instructions in the Readme

The "audio-server" is a stripped down version of "RiPlayServer" in another repo. It has more features like Android client(done), Web client (in works)

@robertybob said in ES developers UNITE!:

In an ideal world I'd love to see ES development the take a much higher priority and, while I'd never think of jumping ship to Recalbox, I do have a lot of respect for their fork of ES in terms of added features. Mehstation and RetroFE seem to have stalled so really there's only ES and Attract Mode having any kind of development.

Actually, RetroFE was moved to www.retrofe.nl when I took over development. I only just received a pi3 though, so I'm still in the process of ironing out some kinks to allow RetroFE to be used on retropie. I'm working on it though. :)
