I tried to get sources of the latest version from berlios and I also tried to get in touch with the creator of ShowQ, but no chance. Didn't even find a e-mail-address in the sources that I finally got from debian, directly... So, if you want to test ShowQ and if you're not a user of debian and it's derivates, use https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/showq as a startpoint. From there, there are several possibilities to fetch the sources, incl. git. And, well, if you're a debian user, use apt-get install showq for the binary or apt-get source showq for the sources.

(As always :) ) You can create a cue by simply drag and drop an audio file ShowQ supports (flac, wav and ogg). Right-klick on the cue and select "Edit". Use "Wave" to check how many channels your audio-file has. Use "Patch" to patch the channels. Normally, you would use "Input 1" connected to "Output 1", "Input 2" connected to "Output 2", and so on... (You can use up to 8-channel audio-files! If your soundcard supports more 8 channels (or more) you can f.e. route some output to jack-rack for realtime-effects or use an extra-ordinary speaker setup to make the crowd go "wow, this sound comes from behind"...) Last not least you must use "Levels" to make your sound audible at all! "-inf" means "silence" - use f.e. -6 dB for testing. I didn't got behind the buttons "1", "2", "3", and so on on the buttom, but I activate every channel I changed before pressing "OK". This should work. Greets! Mitsch

Sorry for double-posting... Am Mittwoch, den 13.05.2015, 15:26 +0100 schrieb Neil C Smith: Looks great! I haven't done much video in my projects, yet, and - speaking about (jack-)audio - I don't know if Praxis LIVE would fill the gap, if ShowQ happens to be thrown out of Debian, but it surely looks promising for other things I will do in the future. So, many thanks for this hint! By the way: Does Praxis LIVE feature projection mapping? It's just because you mentioned Isadora... Greets! Mitsch

Hi Francesco, On 2015-06-04 12:26, Francesco Ceruti wrote: ... If your program is made for musicians and music engineers, then the people who complain about this is not your target audience! :-) It is very unlucky that developers use so much energy to advertise the toolkit and/or programming language in their program names and the explanation of the programs. The end user perspective: -The program works or not and does the job good or bad. For developers and fellow geeks: -The toolkit and language are of interest and should not be a concern for the musicians and engineers. While we're at it: -Several good music programs are done in Phython. As I wrote in another posting on this thread: --------------- "Linux Show Player do really have the right GUI and end user perspective in mind; an in house mixer or any other person can hardly do anything wrong with it when the heat turns up. All the the person in charge has to do is to click at the song and then the song plays with useful clear visual feedback. But it really has it's technical limitations on a little bigger projects with it's lack of multichannel and real Jack support. I will investigate Linux Show Player further in case I missed something. ShowQ has the ability to deliver everything one basically needs for backing tracks in a live situation, that's why I will stick to it now. And small details like the fact that the space button starts the que but can't stop it shows that the program's author really has been in this situation or has been thinking right." --------------- In a live situation, one really need to have multi-channel abilities that just works in a Jack environment and ShowQ delivers and take care of the routing (patching) from for example a single flac multitrac file. The reason for using multi-tracks is that one might to have a different track for the audience and one ore more channels for (in ear) monitoring. Some common examples: - A mono track for the audience - Someone saying in a monitor channel the song name before it starts, (very useful in case the person in charge picks the wrong song). - Count ins, clictrack in quiet passages - Perhaps little less bass for the vocalist(s), making it easier to sing in tune. When Linux Show Player can handle multi-track through Jack, then I will use it. The GUI is right and the ease of use is there. And as I said: it doesn't matter if it's Python, C++ or whatever, most known languages are sufficient enough for playing a multi-track file - it's the end user aspect that matters. Jostein

First: Maybe you can't reproduce my problem because you didn't change anything in the new session. I forgot to mention that in my bugreport. If this step is necessary, then it should be done between "Start ShowQ" and "Press 'Save'". F.e. dragging and dropping an audio file (wav, flac or ogg) should do the trick. Next: The bug seems to be fixed. At least I don't experience a crash when saving. Thanks for that! accidentally opening a disappeared session: * More information about what is going on. If you start ShowQ from the terminal you get this: "I/O warning : failed to load external entity '/path/to/last/session'". Although this is quite technical it shoes at least that something is wrong. A popup window saying: "Error loading last session. Opening a new one." Would make that clear when not starting from terminal. * ShowQ should really behave like opening a new session when failing to open the last one. This means f.e. pressing "save" the first time should open the "save as"-dialog. (Don't know, if there are more things to care about...) Just a point of view to make it perfectly "fixed". I'm totally satisfied with the work you've done, already, if you're saying you can't do any more! :) I guess I should tell Jaromír Mikeš about the "new" git-repository of ShowQ, so the changes you made will finally get into debian?
