libbass not working on Linux (X-Server required. Check your DISPLAY environment variable)
Closed this issue · 4 comments
I just fixed the DLL map for libbass, but I am now encountering the following while trying to use it to play back a song.
Why in the world would I need an X server to play back music? Any ideas?

This is probably a Bass.NET issue (the .NET wrapper library we're using). I'll look into it.
As mentioned here (http://www.un4seen.com/forum/?topic=13840.msg96482#msg96482) Bass.Net ships with a few extensions that require a display, and apparently initializes them in it's constructor. I've contacted the Bass.Net developer to request a version without the WinForms requirement. If he's unable or unwilling to provide one, we'll just need to write an interop class with the methods we use and forego using Bass.Net.
Great, thanks for your help, Ben! Let me know when you hear back.
So I did hear back from him a while ago, and he was saying there's no reason it would require a display. I just haven't had time to look into it yet.
