Just use Gimp to create a blank frame then read that into lives and then import your audio and then save it as a .avi or .mpeg and then you could use mythvideo. Not ideal but then again not a very difficult work around.<br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: John Veness <John.Veness.myth@pelago.org.uk><br>To: Discussion about mythtv <mythtv-users@mythtv.org><br>Sent: Monday, February 4, 2008 6:09:55 PM<br>Subject: [mythtv-users] Best way to listen to long spoken-word audio files<br><br>
I
have
a
few
long
(30
minute
or
60
minute)
mp3s,
which
are
radio <br>programs
which
I
have
previously
nuvexported.
What
is
the
best
way
to <br>listen
to
these
in
Myth,
giving
me
the
ability
to
skip
through
them, <br>just
as
I
can
with
TV
recordings
using
the
Internal
player?<br><br>I've
tried
playing
them
via
Mythmusic,
but
the
UI
isn't
a
good
fit
for <br>these
types
of
audio
files.
I
can
rewind
and
fast
forward
using <br>PgUp/PgDn
but
for
a
long
recording
that's
not
as
good
as
the <br>up/down/left/right
skipping
of
10
mins/30secs/5secs
that
I
get
for
TV <br>recordings.<br><br>I've
tried
playing
them
via
Mythvideo,
but
the
internal
player
doesn't <br>want
to
play
mp3s.<br><br>I
could
try
an
external
player,
but
which
one?
I
would
rather
not
have <br>to
configure
another
player
for
LIRC,
and
have
a
mismatch
of
on-screen <br>UI,
but
if
that's
the
only
good
solution
I'll
try
it.<br><br>Alternatively,
is
there
a
way
of
creating
an
AVI
or
similar
from
an
mp3, <br>so
that
I
could
play
it
with
Mythvideo
Internal
player?
Or
would
a <br>different
audio
format
be
any
better?<br><br>What
do
other
people
do
with
long
non-music
audio
files,
such
as
radio <br>programs
or
audio
books?<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>John<br><br>-- <br>John
