Free pls software for linux

Load .pls playlists in MPD is a service menu for KDE that can load one or several ".pls" files (playlists) into current MPDs playlist.
If your version of MPD supports it, this works for playlists containing URLs as well, such as the ones that can be found on Shoutcast.
The program "mpc" is required for this to work.
The file is to be put in ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/.
Enhancements:
- Can now load several playlists at a time
- Added 2 actions: play now, play after current song
- Now the actions are in their own submenu

autopkg.pl provides a tool that generates Slackware packages from source tarballs, RPMs, and debs.
The main goal of autopkg.pl is to build software and make a Slackware package without having to make a build script of some kind.
A single config file can specify the compile-time options for every program compiled with autopkg.pl.
The packages are created in their own build directories and never installed unless you want them installed.
A setuid-root wrapper allows normal users to create packages (with proper user/group listings and permissions) and optionally install them depending upon a list of trusted users.
Optional "hint files" can also help a broken or not-that-well-set-up package to be compiled and packaged properly (samples included).
Enhancements:
- Renamed --force-show-help to --force-configure to avoid confusion.
- Support for Imakefiles
- Fixed a doc-installing permissions bug with sautopkg.pl
- Support for creating packages from zip files (i.e. jasper)
- autogen.sh only run if configure and makefile not found
- Fixed possible bug with perl module installing
- Useful new shell script functionality for hint files (see README.HINTS file for details).
- Updated the README to take some of the crap out of autopkg.pls usage message and reflect the right version number.
- Renamed the sautopkg.pl wrapper to sautopkg as its not a perl script.

Qxmp is a Qt4 media player based on MPlayer for Linux and Unix workstations. Qxmp provides a simple, compact and clean interface to mplayer.

With Qxmp, you can play in just one application:
- .mpg, .mpeg, .wmv, .avi, .asf, .mov, .rm, .ra, .divx, .mkv, .ogm, .mp3, .wav, .ogg, .mka, .wma, .mp2 media files
- .m3u, .pls, .ram, .smi, .asx, .wax, .wvx playlists
- media streams directly from internet
- DVD
- Audio CD (Mplayer must have been compiled with the cdda support)

The "control panel" (with large easily accessible buttons) is always centered at the bottom of the window (no menubar, no toolbar).

Only Mplayer and Qt are required to use Qxmp (no database, no gstreamer , no taglib...).

Qxmp provides a light "playlist editor" and a "bookmarks manager". A static binary package for linux-i386 systems is available on the project home site.

cPige is a tool for webradios that want to backup their stream on a 1 day period. cPige is listening to an icecast/shoutcast webradio, and write the stream using 2 different methods: Artist - Title.mp3, or in Pige mode, cPige write files like 0.mp3 1.mp3 .. corresponding to the current hour. Each mp3 should be 60 min long. Existing files are overwriten. So you can keep 1 day streaming 24/7.
Usage:
./cpige -h http://stream-hautdebit.frequence3.net:8000/ -h http://fallback.stream:8000/fallback -d .
-h host to connect to.
-V show cpige Version.
-d directory save stream to this directory.
-P Pige mode (takes no argument), save stream by hour.
-M Use pige Meta: will write id3v1 tag (only usefull with pige mode).
-q Quite mode, does not output stream status.
-b Background mode (UNIX only) use cPige as a daemon.
-l Path to logfile.
-I [h|m] pige mode will cut on a hour by hour basis or min by min basis.
-i nb how many "nb" hour(s) or minute(s) we should wait before cutting.
-n cPige will append xxxx to file in non pige mode, where xxxx is a number.
-h is the stream URL (not a .m3u or .pls playlist).
-d select where data should be written.
-P Pige mode, keeps 24h of data, by 1h segment, overwriting existing files.
-b Background mode. (UNIX only)
-l path to the logfile.
-q Quiet mode, does not output stream status on stdout
-M Use pige Meta: will write id3v1 tag (only usefull with pige mode)
-I [h|m] pige mode will cut on a hour by hour basis or min by min basis.
-i nb how many "nb" hour(s) or minute(s) we should wait before cutting.
Practical example:
If you have a stream url like http://stream-hautdebit.frequence3.net:8000/ you can use this command line:
./cpige -h http://stream-hautdebit.frequence3.net:8000/ -d /where/to/store/data [ -P ] [ -b ] [ -l cpige.log ]
Parameters in brackets are OPTIONAL. Brackets should not be given to the command line.
Enhancements:
- A Gtk2 GUI was added.
- Metaint changes during reconnections are correctly handled.
- Non-printable characterss are no longer used in filenames created in non pige mode.
- Directly starts recording without waiting for a new interval.
- A memory leak has been fixed.
- A potential bug in getHeaders() has been fixed.
- The ability to stop cPige after a certain amount of time has been added.
- NULL strings are not printed.
- There are some fixes for the Win32 platform.

Armangils vodcatcher is a video podcast (or vodcast) client for the command line. Armangils vodcatcher project provides several download strategies (new shows only, allowed, back-catalog, etc), supports BitTorrent, offers cache management, and generates playlists for video player applications. It is written in Ruby, and runs on Linux (tested), Windows, MacOS and many other operating systems.

To watch video podcasts, simply type something like vodcatcher subscriptions.opml > latest.m3u. This will download the subscribed shows into the current directory and generate an M3U playlist named latest.m3u.

This application accepts one or more feeds (RSS or Atom) or subscription lists (OPML or iTunes PCAST) as argument, in the form of URLs or filenames. Alternatively, it tries to read one such document from the standard input.

For help, use vodcatcher -h.

Options:

-F, --Function FUNCTION used function (download search );
when using the search function (which
generates an OPML document), the only
relevant options are -v, -r and -f
(default value: download)

-d, --dir DIR Query for caching files
and storing application state
(default value: current directory)

-s, --size SIZE Size of media file cache in MB;
0 means infinite; default value is 500

-m, --memsize N Remember last N downloaded media files,
and do not download them again;
0 means infinite; default value is 1000

-t, --type TYPE Playlist type (m3u smil pls asx tox xspf )
(default value: m3u)

-S, --strategy S Strategy to use for downloading vodcasts
(new one back_catalog all cache ):
* back_catalog: download any show that
has not been downloaded before; prefer
the most recent shows of top-most feeds
in the OPML/PCAST documents.
* new: ignore vodcast back-catalogs; this
is like back_catalog, except that only the
most recent show of each feed is
considered.
* one: download one unlistened show of
each feed, with a preference for recent
shows
* all: download all show; even already
downloaded shows are downloaded once
again.
* cache: play shows that are already in
cache (default value: new)

-f, --feeds N Do not download more than N feeds
(when using the download function);
or return the first N relevant feeds
(when using the search function);
0 means no limits (default value: 1000)

-r, --retries N Try downloading files (media, RSS/Atom or
or OPML/PCAST) at most N times before
giving up (default value: 1)

-T, --Torrentdir DIR Copy torrent files to directory DIR;
handling torrents through an external
BitTorrent client is left to the user;
if this option is not used, torrents are
handled internally (if RubyTorrent is
installed), or else ignored

-U, --Uploadrate N Maximum upload rate (kilobytes per second)
for the internal BitTorrent client
(default: no limit)

-i, --itemsize N If a downloaded show is less than N MB in
size (where N is an integer), fetch other
shows of that same feed until this size is
reached (default: 0)

-p, --[no-]perfeed Create one subfolder per feed in cache

-c, --[no-]cache Play already cached files,
DEPRECATED (use -S cache)

-e, --[no-]empty Delete all previously downloaded
files

-a, --[no-]asif Do not download media files
(useful for testing)

-v, --[no-]verbose Run verbosely

--version Display current version

-h, --help Show this message

Usage examples:

vodcatcher -d ~/vodcasts feeds.opml http://host/second.opml > latest.m3u

vodcatcher -d ~/vodcasts -S cache > cache.m3u

cat feeds.opml | vodcatcher -d ~/vodcasts > latest.m3u

vodcatcher -vd ~/vodcasts -s 500 -m 10_000 -t asx feeds.opml > latest.asx

vodcatcher -vF search -f 44 video vlog http://www.podfeed.net/opml/directory.opml > results.opml
