4.1.

The music skips a lot when moving windows.

You can have aRts buffer more as follows:

  • Start KControl

  • Move to the Sound group

  • Move to the Sound Server section

  • Increase the response time—384ms is usually sufficient for most computers.

You may also consider running the soundserver with real-time priority if setting the response time doesn't help. Be aware that this can cause your system to lock-up.

4.2.

I can't remove a playlist or user-interface from the plugins list.

Since Noatun requires at least one user-interface loaded, and exactly one playlist, you have to add a new user-interface plugin before removing the old one. Adding a new playlist will automatically remove the old one.

4.3.

Where can I get more plugins?

Third-party developers can submit their own plugins to the Noatun web-site, where they can be downloaded by you, the users.

4.4.

How do I write a Noatun plugin?

Documentation, an API reference, and example source code is available at the Noatun web-site. Also, in the spirit of Open Source software the source code to Noatun and all default plugins is available.
