Hi

I am trying to use EMMS to play .mp3 & have had this error message appear:

<<
EMMS: Handshake failed: FAILED Invalid/Missing Parameter(s)
>>

Can someone tell me what it is & how to fix it please?

I look forward to replies, many thanks

I don't know exactly, but

It's probably an error in configuring the mp3 player. EMMS doesn't
play itself, it forks another command to play the mp3.

Here is what I have in my ~/.emacs

(when (require 'emms-setup nil t)
  (require 'emms-player-simple)
  (require 'emms-source-file)
  (require 'emms-source-playlist)
  (emms-standard)
  (emms-default-players)        ; do you have this line in your ~/.emacs ?
  (defalias 'np 'emms-show))

and it works ok,  I've got mplayer in the PATH.

Hi Pascal

Thanks for your helpful reply.

I have tried the code you give from your .emacs {I changed (emms-standard)
to (emms-all)}
and it works fine (no longer getting the error msg: EMMS: Handshake failed:
FAILED Invalid/Missing Parameter(s)).

I am not sure if it is using mplayer or mpg123 as I have both set-up (I
think!!).

I have a bit more code that seems to save the playlist & autoload it every
time I start emacs which is convenient ie
<<<<
;; save playlist and load at emacs start
(require 'emms-history)
(emms-history-load)
(setq emms-repeat-playlist 1)
>>>>

However I have a lot of excess emms code in my .emacs file all added from
various sources from the internet & commented out! This will need tidying up
which I will do as my experience with emms increases & I find which features
I like & how they are best implemented!

Many thanks & best wishes

Seems that emms tries to use the last.fm capabilities, but you didn't
set your username/password.  Most probably, you don't want to use that
feature.  So put

  (emms-lastfm-disable)

into your ~/.emacs.  (I'm not 100% sure this is the correct name of the
function, but `apropos-command' will help you to figure it out.)

Bye,
Tassilo

Hi Tassilo Horn-5

Thanks for your helpful feedback. 
I didn't know that error was due to the Last.fm username & password
(Thanks for your code suggestion. I would like to be able to listen to
Last.fm & presume I can get to put my username & password when I want to
connect-I will look into the code for that). Many thanks & best wishes
