Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

I use the mediaplayer as alarm clock, where it is started from commandline by this:
dbus-send --dest=com.nokia.mafw.renderer.Mafw-Gst-Renderer-Plugin.gstrenderer /com/nokia/mafw/renderer/gstrenderer com.nokia.mafw.renderer.play

Is it also possible to start OMP from commandline, and start playing last played song?

But I'll post the screenshots soon

A log probably won't be too useful, but who knows... A screenshot might give me a clue. Do those 'slots' appear in the main album browser, or after selecting an artist?

First of all, OMP doesn't do the actual shuffling, it relies on MAFW instead. I prefer to leave it this way for the same reason why one-repeat is still not there and why I'm reluctant to implement the queue system requested by FireyFly: it would either require watching the playback progress all the time, or wait for another song to start and then change the song again. Both solutions are ugly, vulnerable to delays and not in the spirit of the original media player (remember, it's just a replacement).

Second, is the current way of shuffling really that bad? In my opinion it's really nice. You can use next/previous button to travel through a randomized playlist, so it's possible to go back to one of the songs played before. Whenever you become bored with it, press the button to turn shuffling off and then press it again to randomize a new order.

Thanks gidzzz - it nearly works. It opens OMP and find last played song, but it doesn't start playing automatically. What did I miss?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

It's impossible in one D-Bus call. If you have to enter a one-liner somewhere, you can probably use a semicolon:

Code:

dbus-send --dest=com.nokia.mafw.renderer.Mafw-Gst-Renderer-Plugin.gstrenderer /com/nokia/mafw/renderer/gstrenderer com.nokia.mafw.renderer.play; dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.mediaplayer /com/nokia/mediaplayer com.nokia.mediaplayer.open_mp_now_playing

You can also specify a file to open and play, if that's of any use to you:

Code:

dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.mediaplayer /com/nokia/mediaplayer com.nokia.mediaplayer.mime_open string:"/path/to/file.mp3"

I also like the current way of shuffling. Sometimes there are songs in a randomized playlist that I want to hear again, pressing previous would take me back to that song instead of having to search for it after pulling the phone from my pocket. :) The only player that doesn't behave like this is the one in my other Nokia phone and I don't like it.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

Gidzzz,

I've tried to use that following command to play internet radio but I see black and internet connection has to be active.

Code:

dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.mediaplayer /com/nokia/mediaplayer com.nokia.mediaplayer.mime_open string:YOUR_HTTP_RADIO_LINK > /dev/null

I saw some empty slots at the end of playlists when I tried to open songs with FileBox.

I found another bug too, to reproduce it, scroll a playlist on Now Playing view and note the song you touched in the meanwhile. Now go press the elapsed/remaining time label and the song changes to the one you touched before.

As for choosing between elapsed and remaining time, will you make the label a bit easier to tap on?

My embedded album art still gets replaced by the placeholder image when I reset it.

Regarding the lyrics view, I think auto-scrolling and highlighting current line would be a nice addition.

Those are my somewhat important suggestions...

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

I just uploaded a small update:

Fixed songs being changed when toggling the time label mode.
Fixed (probably) a crash when opening the player through a desktop widget.
Updated translations.

The crash was vary hard to reproduce, that's why I'm not sure. Please report here if it still occurs.

OMP currently doesn't differentiate between audio and video streams, so it always opens the video window.

But it doesn't happen every time, right? I stumbled upon this in some other cases, but unfortunately it's very rare for me, so I'm still waiting for an opportunity to take a good look at it.

I'll try, but enlarging it vertically is probably all I can do.

If Tracker is too slow with extracting the image, OMP doesn't wait for it and leaves the placeholder image. However, as soon as Tracker is finished and you change a song, the proper art should be there. If that's not the case, I don't know what's going on.

This would require a karaoke-like format for lyrics. I think it's too much hassle for just a few songs, as those files are much harder to find.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

Hello to the brilliant OMP team.

I hadn't played with the settings or the playlist editing lately, until today, when I noticed two things:

1. I cannot change any of the settings! I ticked "enable lyrics" and saved. Going back to settings "enable lyrics" was unticked again. Same thing happened with all the settings parameters

2. I wanted to edit my playlist but the "edit playlist" option was not in the rollout anymore. There is only "add to now playing" "delete playlist and "save playlist"

Forgive me if those cases have been already solved in previous posts, but they are way too many to browse through

Thanks :D

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

I have noticed a bug all the time I open a file from the file manager i.e. the first time I open a file it just doesnt play (it show the name of the first file in the folder). and then when I open it the second time it works...

Please confirm the problem or is it only with me.

Thanks a lot... :)

Note: I'm using the latest version.. hope this might help.

Edit:
Request: Is it possible to select multiple files from the library (or all songs) and add them to the Now playing playlist/ new playlist...

I did this all the time on my old N80 ;) ... thank you

That's right. It happens in other cases indeed, e.g. when switching albums. Looks like the slots are some remnants of a previously played album.

Fine, it'd be more finger-friendly. The same height as the progress bar is good.

You mean you don't know where's a large database to download from? What about taking a look at either Minilyrics or Tunewiki, or maybe at some open source lyrics plugin that grabs lyrics from those databases.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

OMP is pretty stable now and more useful than the stock player.
What about a new desktop widget? The stock widget stopped
working after a reboot. Readding it made all the other widgets
deleted from the desktops. The alternative widget works, but is
a littel bit buggy. It does not refresh the titles from time to time.
Also it does not react to AVRCP when OMP is not opened.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

Hi! I've been using Open Media Player for a while now, and it's a very solid replacement for the stock media player. Thanks to the developers (gidzzz, MAG) for making this a reality. :)

I registered here in the forums because I think I have found a bug in OMP. I just have recently re-ripped my music into FLAC and loaded it into my phone. Whenever I am in the Now Playing view, I am not able to switch to another song by choosing a song from the playlist. I have to return to the Playlist view (the one with the Shuffle Songs button on the top of the list) just to change to my preferred song. Before, this was not a problem when I was using MP4 AAC and WMA as the file format for my music.

If it helps for debugging (and repeating the bug), I have kernel-power42 and CSSU Stable installed in my system. I also have the latest version of OMP (20111223) installed. I have tried rebooting the system to solve it, but to no avail. I ripped my music using Exact Audio Copy in Windows 7 using it the included FLAC codec from this application.

Cheers.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

Welcome known, and thanks for such nice start with verbose report :)

I've checked it using playlist with FLACs from EAC, and from "playing now", changing tracks via "forward" and "back" does work. Ho ever, changing any song by single or double clicking on song name (while watching son list, not lyrics, or slider with single sound, obviously) does not work. highlight just goes back to currently played track, without any effect. So, kinda confirming.

Kinda, cause it doesn't seem to be related to FLAC format - same happens with ogg and mp3 tracks. So, it seems that it's general bug, not only affecting FLAC.

/Estel

// Edit

I also got impression, that it was working in OMP before (regardless of format), so it may be bug introduced during fixing something else. gdizzz, we need Your help ;)

Thanks a lot Estel, for confirming this bug. That is what exactly happening to me. Concerning your last statement that this [event/operation] works before in previous OMP versions, I have no idea since I do not use the following music formats before. You can only presume, I guess. :)

Let's hope gidzzz can solve this in the next upcoming update. More power to OMP! :)

Indeed, it's broken only in 20111223. An update addressing this issue will land in the repositories within a few minutes. It's also got updated translations and enlarged area for toggling song progress display mode.

When checked and you open a song (or songs, works with "Open whole folders" too) with an external file browser, OMP will append those songs to the playlist, instead of replacing it (like in stock MP and OMP before).

Make sure you have write permissions for "/home/user/.config/MohammadAG/mediaplayer.conf". Or simply delete that file (or even the whole directory "home/user/.config/MohammadAG/", to be sure), it should be recreated with proper attributes.

It works a bit different than it used to. You can move items in the same way as in "Now playing" (press, release, press, hold and move, release). The rest is like before: cancel changes by closing the window or save from the menu.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

It seems with MiniLyrics you'll get the auto-scrolling lyrics for most songs. If it was only for some songs, I wouldn't have requested this.

Here you can find MiniLyrics coding: http://www.google.com/#q=http:%2F%2F...ics.com%3A1212

I kind of miss this feature after using it on LCG Jukebox for Symbian S60 and TuneWiki widget (that no longer works) for N900. It's good to use when you can't make out what the vocals are about. You don't have to search for the current line after doing something else.

Gidzzz are you going to implement this feature? Anyone else? Who's with me?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

I consider features from the original player and bugs more important, but big album art is not an invasive change (especially considering that it's portrait mode, so its look is not precisely defined by the stock player). I might give it a try, but I have some doubts whether it's possible to squash the interface that much.

Quote:

OMP queues only files recognized as audio, and judging from the question mark icons, WMP doesn't provide MIME (or MAFW cannot obtain it) for the files. If that's the case, the stock player probably has some kind of problem too. Maybe it's possible to disable the file type control, but in such case there would be nothing to prevent pictures being added to the playlist, for example. I don't have access to a Windows machine at the moment, so I cannot do any tests. Maybe there's an inconspicuous checkbox somewhere in WMP settings?

By the way, I just uploaded an update:

Working previous and next buttons in the video window.
Support for Bluetooth fast-forward and rewind (thanks to cybjit).
Video playback makes use of a playlist, which fixes some compatibility issues.
Updated translations.

Can you please fix the bug when resetting album art? :/
There's something that removes it, I mean the album art appears just for a split second when you start playing a song.
I've gotten the impression it takes several plays for album art to appear again to corresponding songs.
