Clementine VS mpv

Try Clementine -> https://www.clementine-player.org/

I'm not sure what point you're making. I run plenty of 5 year old software. My music player hasn't been updated in 7 years and works totally fine.

I have used k3B, Asunder and SoundJuicer for ripping music on Linux. I still don't think the flac decoder is installed by default on linux so: sudo apt install flac. I use MusicBrainz Picard for metadata and organization and Clementine for playback. There main branch of Clementine hasn't been updated for years, but you can get the newest build off of github or Strawberry is a fork of the Clementine project without the milk visualizations.

Clementine is nice!

One unsung feature I've always liked about PCs that consoles don't have is that if you don't like a game's music you can just switch it off and run a media player in the background. So I was hoping to do the same on the Steam Deck. I want one that can both: 1. Play internet radio stations, spotify, etc when at home and having access to wifi. 2. Play MP3, OGG, etc music files from the SD card for when I'm away and don't have internet. Searching the discovery store in desktop mode I found exactly one media player that can do both, the Clementine Music Player. https://www.clementine-player.org/ So questions: Has anyone here tried that one and can confirm it runs nicely in the background without causing issues?

I prefer Clementine. It is being actively developed. They haven't had a stable release since, I think 2016, but they are still working on it. Their release clients for 1.4 are quite stable. If you want to use Clementine: https://github.com/clementine-player/Clementine/releases/tag/1.4.0rc1-871-g982d8fbb6 here is the current RC release from last week. Strawberry is a good player too. I tend to use the visualizations when listening to music on fullscreen, which can be added to the system, but I just like them included with the player.

Here's my long list from 2021 that I have yet to update again with some new finds (always adding to it). I create playlists that are matched to situations (home, Combat Zone, various districts, venues, etc) and then load them up in Clementine Player which makes it easy to tab from one playlist to another (+ automatic crossfade)

https://mpv.io/ has yt-dlp support, if yt-dlp is installed you just need to throw the URL at it and it plays the video (without download).

See https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/9053

I apologise for not following procedure. I am in the middle of building mpv 0.37 from source. Irrespective of the outcome I will document what I had to do in addition to the instructions on mpv.io and if the problem perststs, where it happens and where not with kernel version, mpv version taken from the screen, and the terminal output.

Use MPV. Partticularily shinchiro's builds. Extract the folder where you want its installation directory to be, if you decide to install it. Otherwise, just drag and drop files on top of its window or executable.

Author of ripgrep here.

Like automatic encoding detection and transparently searching UTF-16?

Or simple ways for composing character classes, e.g., `[\pL&&\p{Greek}]` for all codepoints in the Greek script that are letters. Another favorite of mine is `\P{ascii}`, which will search for any codepoint that isn't in the ASCII subset.

Or more sophisticated filtering features that let you automatically respect things like gitignore rules.

Those are all things that ripgrep does that grep does not. So I do not favor this explanation personally.

ripgrep has just about all of the functionality that GNU grep does. I would say the two biggest missing pieces at this point are:

* POSIX locale support. (But this might be a feature[1].)

* Support for "basic" regexes or some equivalent that flips the escaping rules around. i.e., You need to write `\+` to match 1 or more things, where as `+` will just match `+ literally.

Otherwise, ripgrep has unfortunately grown just about as many flags as GNU grep.
