XChat-XMMS is an effective script for controlling XMMS via XChat. It enables users to manage their audio with ease.
To install the program, users need the XMMS perl module, which can be easily installed via CPAN using the following command: perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::Xmms'. If CPAN is running for the first time, users will be asked questions about its setup before it runs. Additionally, the XMMS development libraries should be installed, such as the xmms-devel package if using Redhat. Users can test the Xmms perl module installation by using this command: perl -MXmms -e "exit (0)".
To use the program, users will use the menus in XChat: Scripts & Plugins -> Load -> Perl Script. After loading the plugin, the X-Chat XMMS Script VERSION should appear in the XChat window. Users can then issue the XChat command /xmms help for online assistance.
Overall, the XChat-XMMS script is a great addition to XChat as it offers users control over XMMS and easy remote access to their playlist via their IRC channel or /msg. The program requires XMMS, XChat, and Perl 5.6.
