This was a funky one, XMMS locked up on me and refused to play any files in my playlist, which I know usually means they either don't exist or can't be played but I also saw in mount that they should be there. I wish they'd add a pop up message about that but the auto-skip response to non existent files is actually one feature of XMMS I like.


Just trying to load a new playlist by pressing the lord list button in the playlist manager would cause it to lock up and I'd have to kill the process. So I figured I'd open another urxvt and leave mplayer running. Only thing odd was Music/Pl wouldn't tab-complete to ~/Music/Playlists.

Terry@dixie$ ls Music                                                      3:45
ls: Music: Socket is not connected
Terry@dixie$ mount                                                         3:46

   ... my video files

So I umount'd all of them and reran mounting script and all worked

Terry@dixie$ sshfs-mounter.sh -i ~/.ssh/vectra_rsa_key_nopw -u 1001 -g 1001
Terry@dixie$ mount                                                         3:48

    ... the directories contents
Terry@dixie$                                                               3:48

After fixing that, XMMS worked great so I conclude that XMMS has a bit of a nasty issue if files it knows are there just 'disappear' on it, which is kind of strange. Whether it is a bug or not, I don't have time to spend on multiple code-compile-debug cycles to try and fix it if there is a problem some where in the code or I would investigate it myself.


I would rather like to know what happened with the mount though because the only thing I've been fiddling with before it went was my firewall rules. Which amounts to enabling / disabling pf and reloading the rules out of /etc/pf.conf. I think I'll keep a close eye on my mounts for awhile, XMMS will keep its eyes even closer on them I guess lol.
