Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

Nice too see you work on this gidzzz :)
I haven´t really tried it earlier.
I guess it´s a work in progress but I have to ask one thing regarding car view.When I swipe left I can see the listed songs from a specific album. Am I supposed to be able to tap on any song in the list to get it to play? Now when scrolled and I tap on a song in the list only the song in the top is played.
It would be nice if it was possible.

Anyway, nice work MAG and gidzzz :)
It seems snappier then stock i must say

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

Default player supports listing of tracks in right order acording to track number. But for different CDs not. So for example lifehous - deluxe edition has 2 CD's. MFAW sorts it like


Example: (cd 2 has only 2 tracks)
track 1 (cd1)
track 1 (cd 2)
track 2 (cd 1)
track 2 (cd 2)
track 3
track 4


Hope this nakes it clear =)
One question, can I use OMP next to the default player?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

hey.. firstly thanks to all of u 4 an excellent work...really a nice replacement of stock media player...
but it would be even better if it had an equalizer... and the sharing and delete button donot work... but a nice work indeed...thanks

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

All I have to say is WOW! Last update made it really useful. A 200+ playlist in previous version loaded for minutes, now it snaps in just seconds! Finally I can forget about stock MP :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

If they're running at the same time, the worst thing I can think of is that one of the players could fail to notice a change made by the other one and some view not being refreshed.

Last time I checked, sharing was working. I'm not sure about deleting, though -- I still haven't shown it much love. I know there's a bug with list not updating after deleting a song, but the file is really deleted. From which view do you try to share?

Yes, but I forgot about something. ;) Try the attached version.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

share and delete button in video mode do not work..

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

I have a little request,
could it be possible to hide the album art in the now playing window?
In portrait, I would like to see as many songs as possible, when I'm scrolling through them.

btw. for the newest version, can we still use the script in the first post or should we download gidzzz's attachment?

Thanks anyway,
AhBarnasha

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

and yeah one more thing...volume button in portait mode is absent...but whats new in latest attatchment..???

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

After running the script with --desktop-file ption, i cannot find the icon, wheather it be "menu" or "adding to the desktop menu"
EDIT:
NEVERMIND, icon did appear after second installation.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

I'm still not sure how, but I want to increase area for the playlist. For now, I like the idea of toggling between large and tiny cover art the most. MAG does not provide builds from my git, install from the attachment.

I think that's on purpose, it gives more space to all the other buttons. The only update is a fix for selecting songs from car and entertainment view.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

hey thanks gidzzz...but please please please make an equalizer like in other n-series phones..

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

i could recommend you to use only smaller album art in portrait... leave a landscape the same size.
we still need a tap on it to toggle between pls and slider.

still i must point out that slider and rest of the things in now playing (scrolling pls and selecting tracks) is not so responsive.

let me describe problem: when i want to scroll a track, it moves slider to desired time, than after a half of second, it put it back where it was, and it has not gone to the desired time...
maybe it is depending on a pressure (????)

and just to point out a small glitch: a slider is shrieked when a number of digits is increased in left of slider (current time)

aaaaaaand, some album arts it wont display (???)

all the rest works just fine ;)
keep up the good work

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

well, i finally tried this new mediaplayer a few days ago, and it works as i expected, perfectly! really amazing work guys

i have a bug/request, i was thinking if posting it or not, but as this was intended to be a fullly replacement for mediaplayer, i think this should be solved

the secondary text color (the gray text) should be taken from the theme color scheme, instead of being always gray

here you have an example of what i'm saying, with the open worldclock by cepiperez, look at the pictures, the secondary text in my theme is blue.

also another bug (i think that was already mentioned) is that the "now playing" icon (the blue square with the white circle with a play that shows at the right bottom corner) should hide when i press the list to browse the songs, and should be visible again when i release it.

hope i've been clear describing the bugs, i'm sorry but english is not my first language

once again thank you guys for all your work in this new open media player

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

It shouldn't be too far now from being considered stable.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

can anyone give me a step by step guide on how to install it and how to uninstall it after installing it. ( i dont want to replace the stock media player) would be very happy if someone could give their precious time to help me

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

Great work!

A real advancement on the stock player. The only concern about omp I have at the moment is that it's somewhat cruel on the battery. Omp is using around 70%, whereas the stock player only needs 30-40% playing the same track. Is that likely to improve?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

I've investigated it the first time you noticed this and the slider doesn't always send a signal when it is moved, I don't know why. However, signals for pressing/releasing are always emitted. They can be used in a workaround, but still I'd like to discover why it doesn't work in its current state.

Hmmm... do you have some more details?

Yes, I think I've fixed that today. :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

add an equalizer plzzzzzzz

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

I would really like to have a normalizer. I have a lot a of mp3's with different levels. Don't know if it's doable though.
Yeah,that'd be great

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

Thanks a lot, it would be nice if first post is updated regularly by someone by giving some forum permission/right.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

Its mention earlyer in the thread how to install.
And its not a good idea to replace tha stock player since this is still alpha

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

Great work, guys!

Could we help you with th traslation to different languages as stock mediaplayer provides?

I think I could help with Spanish

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

After a long time of holding back, I have finally installed this yesterday (daring to do it :-) )...have to say there was no reason for me to hold back..It is just great...Absolutely brilliant..Thanks everyone for what you have given us...Keep up the good (in fact great) work guys...

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

its a thread of 39 pages. can u please point out the page.i read the first post bt wasnt much clear. thank you:)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

There is also another reason to read throu the thread, you will get in to the bugs and stuff that have been disscussed throu the process since the initial release of OMP.
If you don know what you are installing you can endup with much trouble that might have been avoided if you had the knowlage of things that could go wrong.
Nothing that is not in Extras is safe to install if you dont know what your doing.

Anyway:
1. Place the archive somewhere on your N900.
2. Open the terminal and navigate to the directory where the archive resides (for example "cd /home/user/MyDocs" if you placed it in the main storage).
3. Extract the archive ("tar -xf omp_xxx.tar.gz").
4a. Navigate to the extracted directory ("cd omp_xxx") and run the installer as root ("sudo sh install_mediaplayer.sh --desktop-file").
4b. If it doesn't work (I'm not sure if sudo is configured out of the box), try "root", then "cd /home/user/MyDocs/omp_xxx", and finally "sh install_mediaplayer.sh --desktop-file".
5. Installer tries to start the player automatically, so you should hopefully see the result right away.

Good luck.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

once everything is perfect will it be included in cssu? then i will wait. u scared me :p

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

@gidzzz:
i have embedded album-art inside mp3 file... and it wont show.....

ACTUALLY, when i play the song, it shows me album-art for a fraction of a second, and than it just show default art for media player :/

about the responsiveness of slider: is it possible that it is because a way it is program executed maybe (e.g. not installed, just run via ssh command)???

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

That's because both MafwRenderer and MafwSource are sending different album arts for some reason (one's sending the correct one, the other's sending an empty one), the stock player only sets only one of the set album arts.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

gidzzz send a final merge request with all your changes from the last one, and I'll add you to the mainline repo committers list.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

I know it has been mentioned long time
omp cant play a video directly by a link, when open that link, omp closed at once, but stock player doesnt

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

My Wishlist: a view like this.


@gidzzz, MohammadAG...
Its possible to have something like this in the future?:o

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

Looks good, and basically I would like to see it, but OMP is stock player + portrait mode, candidate to appear in CSSU, so I doubt changing the layout would be good. On the other hand a skin-able OMP would rock :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

Whenever I try to open a video from filebox the media player open then closes and for some videos the media player only play the last song that was playing before

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

Like zdanee said, it's more about making a replacement for the stock player and I think there should be a stable base to work with before making radical interface redesigns, if any.

From the other news, it's about time for a now build and the accompanying changelog. :)

• Fixed excessive CPU usage by too many instances of the playlist state indicator being animated.
• Playlist state indicator is hidden while scrolling, dedicating more CPU time to smooth browsing.
• Colors aren't hardcoded anymore, they should match your theme.
• Adaptive loading for the playlist in "Now playing" window. Visible and sorrounding items are loaded first, so even if you throw your whole library at it, there's only little to no waiting time for the items to be filled with song info. I haven't had any problems for a few days, but keep an eye on your playlist and please report any inconsistencies if they occur.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

one favor request if it can store lyric.
It will be incrdible if the way read / play lyric look like ttpod,
thanx any way.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

One small request.
Can you make internet radio play right away, after clicked on it's name. Right now i have to click on it and then click one more time play. Or if you/MAG have disabled it, pls explain why, as i could've missed that.
Thanks in advance

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

After looking at the code, I think it's not disabled, it's just buggy. ;)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

Is there a timeline for adding UPNP support to OMP please?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

want a circle icon and repeat 1 function

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

The new version has indeed much lower power consumption. Not quite as low as stock, but there's no such thing as a free lunch, after all. Well done.

I've got one problem, though: Some time ago I've made some desktop shortcuts to directly start my favourite playlists. Exec line looks like this:
This works with stock player (though I've found no way to start in shuffle mode), but with OMP, only the first song in the playlist is loaded. Weird.
