the mbux owners guide
But from the owners view there are 2 hidden menus he can access by simply typing in a secret key string. To let mbux differ from a search string and a secret key string you've to enter the [!] character before typing the secret key string.
standard secret keys
In the following table you will see the standard secrets used in mbux.
key action abort abort the actual playing song menu enter the genre menu skin enter the skin menu gocd enter the cd menu (not yet implemented!) lock disallow console switching with Alt+Fx free allow console switching with Alt+Fx If you're using mbux in a real world scenario you should change these "secrets" to your own secrets.
I named it the "genre menu" but this name is not very self-explaining. In this menu you can select sub directories of your mp3 directory. By default bux takes all mp3 files in the mp3 directory and from any first level sub directory. By selecting or unselecting directories you can include or exclude the files from that sub directory. It's a simple way to give a pre-selected range of music you want to played that time.
There's a bug in this menu: You can only have that much sub directories (or genres) as it can displayed on the screen. There is no scrolling functionality in this menu.
As the name says: In this menu you can change the skin of mbux. In the standard distribution are 5 skins made by myself ("I am a developer, not a designer!" Please remember this when watching the example skins! ;).
Note: Changing the skin may change the mp3 root directory. It depends of the configuration you made in the skin config files.
From this menu you can change the source of your mp3 songs: Do they come from CD or do they come from a hard disk.
- Play from CD
- Plays all songs from CD. To access mp3 files on CD mbux mounts /dev/cdrom to /tmp/mbuxcd. If /dev/cdrom doesn't exists you have to change the cdrom parameter.
Play from hard disc
- Plays all songs form the mp3 root. mbux ejects the CD.
Play from both (default)
- Plays all songs form the mp3 root and the CD. Songs from CD will get the text [CDROM] appended to their title.
Eject CD
- mbux umounts /dev/cdrom and ejects the CD.
