Description:

Timidity++ packaged in ArchLinux uses /etc/timidity++ config dir, but SDL2_mixer will look for config in different files:

vinipsmaker ~ $ strings /usr/lib/libSDL2_mixer-2.0.so.0 | grep timidity
Mixer not built with MOD timidity support
/etc/timidity
/usr/share/timidity
/usr/local/share/timidity
/usr/local/lib/timidity
/etc/timidity.cfg
/etc/timidity/freepats.cfg

This problem will cause issues with some software, like EasyRPG: https://github.com/EasyRPG/Player/issues/180

The workaround is to activate the FluidSynth backend defining the SDL_SOUNDFONTS env variable.
This task depends upon

  • Field changed: Percent Complete (100% → 0%)
timidity++ package store config in /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg

SDL2_mixer looks in
$ strings /usr/lib/libSDL2_mixer-2.0.so.0.600.2 | grep timidity
/etc/timidity.cfg
/etc/timidity/freepats.cfg

No more "Couldn't open timidity.cfg" warnings, thanks!
