Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Windows on ARM CPU

« Last post by Mathias (Author) on Today at 07:57:51 »

Windows ARM, Maybe.. But I don't have a Windows ARM computer so until I get one its hard to develop something for it.

MacOSX, No, all UI and other parts in MC are Windows specific and would need to be rewritten. Would require super much extra work and I don't have the time for that.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Windows on ARM CPU

Hi!

Any plans for native version of MultiCommander for Windows on ARM CPU? If if that would be the case any chance you would make MultiCommander available for macOS in the future?

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Loop Playback Toggle for 'Play/Stop Audio File' Function

« Last post by total_annihilation00 on Yesterday at 17:11:49 »

Yes the Windows MediaEngine (that MC is using) is not the full Media Player. it is a core part in Windows for playing actual audio (.MID are not audio files.  but instruction on how to generate sound.)

So Sorry. Mid files will probably not work

That's a pity, I actually thought it would play though. I could still loop my MP3 songs…

No that .mid did not play on my Windows 11. Look like it is not supported by default. But maybe if some 3rd party codec is installed.

Oh I see, it plays on "Media Player Classic: Home CInema" app (MPC: HC, part of K-Lite Codec Pack (Standard Edition).) I have Windows 10 by the way. It's alright then… Would still be nice to loop supported file formats.

I think it is because that you use ECDSA keys

looks like libssh2 support that, but only if the code is build to minimal support Windows 10. (since it require Windows functions that does not exists on Windows 7/8)
Problem is that for now MC is built to run on Windows 7.

That might change soon.. More and more issues is poping up to support Win7/8

Hello,
there is a description in the attachement,  how I generated the certificate. Unfortunately, I am currently unable to try a different method :-(
PuttyGen was installed and used on Windows, SFTP server is running on Linux.

This is how I created keys

On Linux
1.  Generate keys on Linux

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096

Specify names for the file : id_mc (example)
Specify password if wanted

Keys are generate with the name  id_mc  and  id_mc.pub

2. Add public Key to authorized keys on the linux server, so you can login
cat ~/id_mc.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

3. Copy keys to host

4. in MC specify the Public Key (id_mc.pub) and Private Key (id_mc ) 
   Enter keypassword if you set any at #1

Sorry. I don't know.
I use it daily. And it works for me. But the whole thing is messy. There are so many different algorithm and cryptos.  Maybe you using some that the SSH code used in MC does not support or something.
I actually does not know. MC is using libssh2 with WinCNG for the SSH access https://libssh2.org/ , There are information there on what crypto/algorithm it support on that page

Btw
Something is not correct with the logs..
There is no
"Auth via public key for user" that is shown when trying to login using public key.
And there is no error from the verify of the keyfile..

I see if I can add some more error logging with the login phase. that can give hits on why it does not want to login
