> Could people have a look and submit bugs (or post on this list) their > testing scenarii on this list? I am wondering what you would do with reported bugs, rather, the wiki could be updated as an alternative to reporting to this list. For now, I will link relevant messages from the wiki, so here it goes for daisy-player. [The good thing of writing this howto is that I found several bugs ;) ] *** daisy-player *** Preface: daisy-player was originally written to start reading CD's from the CD-rom drive. I don't even have such a drive, so I don't use that feature. To disable CD-rom usage I start daisy-player with input. Additionally, I have added /dev/null as CD device in daisy-player, but I don't think that is necessary. As I don't use CD's also the cddb option is useless for me, so the first time I use daisy-player I start with the -n option. As daisy-player is a reader of DAISY books, you need some DAISY books to start with. I recommend downloading at least one version 2.02 and one version 3 book from http://www.daisy.org/sample-content. E.g. "A Light Man" and "Are You Ready". The files come zipped, so you need to unzip them. paul@wollumbin ~/daisy-player/samples $ wget http://www.daisy.org/samples/202toc-only/light-man.zip paul@wollumbin ~/daisy-player/samples $ unzip light-man.zip daisy-player needs a console, so start it in a terminal window. You can run daisy-player against the directory holding the files you just unzipped. daisy-player is made for 24 lines x 80 chars, if your window is smaller, text might appear funny. paul@wollumbin ~/daisy-player/samples $ daisy-player -n light-man - You should get a screen with two info lines of daisy-player and then the content of the book. - Pressing h should bring you the help, then pressing any key (twice) should return you to the normal screen. - Pressing enter should start the reading and you should be able to hear the text. - Pressing Cursor Down should scroll down to new sections, hitting enter should start reading that section - Hitting q should quite gracefully. paul@wollumbin ~/daisy-player/samples $ wget http://www.daisy.org/samples/3full-text-full-audio/are-you-ready-z3986.zip paul@wollumbin ~/daisy-player/samples $ unzip are-you-ready-z3986.zip paul@wollumbin ~/daisy-player/samples $ daisy-player Are_you_ready_z3986 - You should get a screen with the content of the book. You will only see the first 22 sections of the book, there is one more (PageDown). - Pressing l allows you to scroll the chapters with Cursor Up/Down, pressing l again allows you to scroll the paragraphs. - Pressing enter should start the reading where you are and you should be able to hear the text. - Hitting q should quite gracefully. - Restarting daisy-player as before should start where you were the last time you "read" this book. daisy-player stores it's current configuration in ~/.daisy-player.rc and places bookmarks in ~/.daisy-player/ You might want to backup/remove those to restore default settings. (Don't edit while daisy-player is running or it will be overwritten.) Lastly, testing if the translations still work is also nice: paul@wollumbin ~/daisy-player/samples $ LANGUAGE=nl_NL daisy-player Are_you_ready_z3986 Paul
