Hi, Roman !
Maybe off-topic, but i thought i'd mention it:
I recently had good success with remote controlling VLC player from within PD. i don't know if this helps in your setup, but at least VLC might still be around the next years ;-)
Basically what you do is: You start vlc (or "cvlc" - the command line version of vlc) invoking a TCP remote control address.
I actually started vlc from within PD with the [command] external:
[exec /usr/bin/cvlc -I rc --rc-host=localhost:7777( | [command]
this way you can send remote control messages to
[netsend -b] [initiated with "connect localhost 7777")
(I'm not sure if the binary mode is needed but i used it anyway)
You can also receive information from cvlc this way. send a "help" message to get available commands or see for example here:
https://superuser.com/questions/767330/is-there-a-simple-audio-player-that-c...
Sidenote:
Remote controlling MPLAYER is supposed to work in a similar way, but i didn't investigate it too much ...
Best

This is the backtrace (not much useful info, libraries from Debian seem not compiled with debug symbols):
They are compiled *with* debug symbols, but thesr are not shipped in the "normal" packages (to keep them nice and small). See https://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace on how to install the debug symbols for a given package.
Ok, good to know! I will look into that.
which indicates the problem is in the [readanysf~] playback and not in Pd or [mp3cast~].
Well if it happens only every few days, things might be related to thread and/or memory management, which means that the cause of the problem could be *anywhere*.
I see. I _did_ upgrade Pd. I will try to correlate dpkg-logs with start of segfaults.
That it should be moved to the "pd-externals" repository so people *can* give it some love in a discoverable place.
👍
Dear August
In case you read this, please state your intentions regarding the further maintenance of [readanysf~]. We consider the external abandoned and we plan to host it under the umbrella of the pd-externals group.
@IOhannes What do you think of the gmerlin project that [readanysf~] depends on? It seems still hosted in a subversion repository and hasn't had much activity since ~2012. I saw some recent commits of yours and it seems to be kept alive partially or fully due to your work/commitment. Will it survive the next few years?
