Hello Csounders,

I am looking for some help/advice or a solution to launching Csound5
from the Mozilla Firefox Browser specifically
(but would be happy with a Safari solution as well.)

In the past, I used to enjoy the fact that I could install the Csound
Catalog on my HD and (from Internet Explorer)
click on a .orc or .sco or .csd file and automatically launch Csound
from the browser and load that
chosen .csd into (at the time) MacCsound and then render it.

I would do this by setting up a .csd MIME type and then tell my
browser how to identify files wth .orc, .sco, or .csd extensions
and then specify that the browser should handle such files by
launching a specific application - then MacCsound.

I am trying to do this again.
(In hopes of discovering a solution for the OLPC XO laptop as well)

So
- I know about the MisFox Application - that lets me edit and add
MIME types on the Mac for Safari
- I know about CSedit - that lets me edit and add MIDI types on the
Mac for Firefox

With no success so far, I have tried to get a .csd to launch the
Csound5GUI,  Csoun5CSDplayer, Smultron, BBedit, nothing?

Any clues, advice, secrets  or success to report?

Anyone in the Csound community launching Csound directly from their
Browsers?

-dB

I just installed the MIME Edit plugin:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4498
It looks like it might do the trick. I will test it later when I get a 
chance.

No joy here, I can't seem to stop firefox from simply opening the file. 
I don't know much about MIME types but is the problem a result of Csound 
not being a registered MIME application type?

Sad,

Same with me.
Firefox just opens the files.
Explorer used to launch them - but FIrefox is open source and used on  
the OLPC XO.

Maybe we should register Csound as a MIME type?
How do we do this?  Victor? John? Andres?  Michael? Csound5 Developers?

Hi DrB.

For firefox, you can try the MIME Edit extension:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4498

Just create a new mime type like name: 'application/x-csound', 
application: 'csound', extension: 'csd'.

I can't test it since I just have firefox 3.0b3 installed at the moment, 
which isn't compatible with this extensions. But it should work.

For the olpc, wouldn't make more sense to open csd files with a frontend 
(to edit it and then play)? Isn't Greg Thompson working on this. If so, 
if he associates the mime type handled by his activity with the .csd 
extension, it should work, both from the WebActivity and from the Journal.

Best,

-c.

Forgot to say:

you can also just edit the 
.mozilla/firefox/yourprofilename.default/mimeTypes.rdf.

Just copy another entry and modify the values as needed. Then you can 
choose the application to open it from within the firefox settings 
(preferences -> applications).

Best,

I'm not even sure this is the reason for it not working, perhaps someone 
else out there knows more about this? I think registering new types if 
relatively simple.

Hi Cesare, I've tried this and it doesn't seem to work for me. Perhaps 
someone else can give it a go and report back.

Thanks Cesare,

I did not get this browser solution to work.
I had downloaded and installed the MIME Edit extension.

With it, I tried many options - but....
In MIME edit, I can/must sepcify:

MIME Type:
Description:
Extension:

then

When a file of this type is encountered either
1. Open it using the default application
2. Open it with -------  choose...
3. Save it to Disk

Ah, I forgot... of course, it's the server that should send the mime 
type associated with an extension, too.

I've added:

AddType text/x-csound .csd

to .htaccess at csounds.com

So, remove the mime edit extensions. It's not even needed. If you have 
created an entry with it remove it before uninstalling the extensions.

Then on csounds.com click on a .csd file. Firefox should ask you what to 
do with this. Choose open with... and navigate to your csound 
executable. If you don't want the dialog to choose whether to save or 
open with csound, check the checkbox at the bottom.

Cesare,

Cool.  This is helpful and close.

- A dialog box come up now when I clicked on a .csd from cSounds.com
- It asked me if I wanted to open this .csd with the default (in my  
current case - smultron)
- I told it to do this by default.  (and given my smultron shortcuts,  
I can quickly launch Csound from that .csd with a single key combo.

But
- I was not given any other choices but smultron
- I could not get the Csound5GUI to load the .csd into it's editor by  
default
- I could not get Winsound to load the .csd into it's editor or  
Csound5.app either.
- I would LOVE to be able to call Csound with a commandline from the  
browser with the .csd I selected at the end of the command
  - such as: csound -odac  i_clicked_this.csd

-dB

Ok,

create a text file (a shell script) like this:
#!/bin/sh
csound -odac $1

call it 'csoundlauncher.sh'

chmod a+x csoundlauncher.sh

Then in firefox, go to preferences->applications (from the menu). Find 
the entry for the csound mime and change the application to launch it 
(choose 'use other...' and then select the shell script you've just made.

I've tested it here and it works. Let me know.

Best,

-c.

I don't know what could be.

Try to change the settings in preferences->applications back to 'always 
ask' and then when you click on the csd and the dialog appears choose 
the shell script. Also, verify the permissions, it it is executable.

So.... Interesting.

I do have both choices now - smultron and my csoundlauncher.sh
I told it to always ask.
When it asked.
- I chose smultron - it downloaded the .csd into smultron and using a  
key combination I was able to launch csound.
- I chose csoundlauncher.sh - it starts to download and then I get  
the error message.

I moved the launcher into another folder.  re-linked to it.  Chaged  
the filetype to firefox (not smultron).  Still no go.

I will now repair my disk permissions...  and get back to you.

On linux, when Firefox is set up to open a file with an application in 
this way (I mean, without asking where to save/download it) it is put 
into the /tmp directory. Then the application (in our case csound) opens 
it from there.

I see from the path that you're on Os X. I don't know where Firefox 
saves these temporary files on Os X, but the problem could be related to 
this.

Still trying to get to the bottom of this.
By default, it saves the tmp files or downloads things to my  
desktop.  I can probably change that?
I could also try to uninstall and re-install firefox.

Reinstalling wouldn't help. You should close Firefox, remove your 
profile directory (should be .mozilla, but I don't know where it is 
located on Os X) and then relaunch it. Keep in mind that you will loose 
all the settings and bookmarks.

But I don't think this is necessary.

Maybe somebody more knowledgeable than me about Os X can help you.

Thanks Cesare for all your help.

Hopefully your solution will work on the little OLPC XO - since that  
is a linux os.
Strange that I am having problems with my mac.  I am about to try  
everything we have done on another mac - maybe it's something I have  
installed
that is messing with things.

I did do all you suggested.  I deleted the profile and relaunched a  
clean firefox - but.... same problem.
it works if I choose smultron as the intermediary, but if I use your  
shell script and launch Csound directly - no go.... error downloading  
file.

maybe there is a mac person with some firefox insight?

I'll let you know what happens on my other macintosh laptops.

Cesare,

Well.  I installed everything fresh on another 10.4.11 OsX Intel  
MacBook Pro - and I had the same problem there too.

Maybe someone will know the firefox secret for the Mac.  Maybe it  
will work with leopard.  I'll upgrade to 10.5 in the next few weeks.

I'll let you know if things you suggested worked on the OLPC XO - but  
maybe you could let me know if these tricks work on your XO!

-dB

This won't work on the XO.

With the settings I've added at csounds.com, .csd when you click on a 
file hosted there, it will be downloaded instead than showed as a text 
in the browser. It will show up in the Journal.

But you do want the .csd to be rendered when you click on its link on 
the XO? What if one wants to edit it instead? or save it? You can't 
associate more than one action with a behavior in the WebActivity. 
Wouldn't be more useful to open it with a front-end? Isn't somebody 
already working on this (I mean a Csound editor/front-end for the XO)?

Best,

-c.

Cesare,

Last spring, Victor Lazzarini, Steven Yi and I worked together on a  
single soundfont orchestra (using the sfplay and fluid family of  
opcodes) to play any General MIDI file.  M-Audio/Avid donated a  
General MIDI sample set that I am currently re-editing and re- 
looping.  My revised version of the sample set will be offered under  
the Creative Commons License (and will be done in 2 months - we will  
be able to distribute it with Csound and include examples in the  
manual as well!).

The OLPC goal:

- when an XO User clicks on a .mid file in the browser, it would  
render the file in real-time using this GM.csd orchestra and the Free/ 
Custom M-Audio GM sample set.  (Like Quicktime on the Mac).

Yes, based on the XO Activities that he built using a Csound Server  
Model for the XO, Greg Thompson is currently developing a CsoundXO  
launcher-editor-player for the XO that will have an onscreen keyboard  
and sliders and that will allow the playback of MIDI instruments and  
General MIDI files.  He is also working on a Remixer Actrivity and a  
Sampler.  (Both will take advantage of the 8.5GB donated sample set  
that I collected, edited, and organized last year and that we are  
about to announce and release in the next couple of weeks.

Still, there is a goal - like with Quicktime Musical Instruments on  
the Mac - or the comparable Roland GM Player under Windows - to be  
able to play MIDI files from the Browser - using Csound.

It would be nice to do something like David Akbari's recent Wave and  
AIF player solution from the Browser as well So that Csound could  
serve as an iTunes-like Utility as well.

Since I was able to do this sort of thing in the past with MIME types  
and Explorer, I was hoping I might be able to figure a way of doing  
it again on the XO.

You are right, we might need some sort of iTunes like activity for  
the XO that is launched when the child clicks on a .mid or .wav  
or .ogg or .aif or .csd link.

I would appreciate your further thoughts on this.  Maybe Greg will  
also need to create a Browser Activity to do the above.

I will be contacting all the CsoundXO developers tomorrow with an  
overview of:

- where we are headed at OLPC (what projects I am working on with  
their in-house programmers)
- what progress we have made recently
- to find out what project you all might be pursuing and where you  
are at
- to coordinate some communication, sharing, dreaming, and exchange  
on the CsoundXO forums at cSounds.com

Thanks again for your help with this attempt to solve the problem  
yesterday.

-dB
