Re: Another Media Player © for Maemo :)
 
Two things I really want from a good media Player:

1. Manual Playlist editing. God, I am fed up of "smart" organizing sorting in it's very own way the songs. I just want an option given a playlist with the songs A B C D with simple dragging or two buttons "Move Up"/"Move Down" make it A C B D. Or D B C A.

2. Equalizer. Equalizer. Equalizer. How can we not have even one player with even the most simple Low/Middle/Treble bands ?!??

P.S. Krum? Slavonic? Bulgarian?

Another area to concentrate on is proper support of various formats (like ogg and flac) and also on important but always neglected things like gapless playback. Maybe it's just me, but any new development effort that doesn't address these issues in any way is just pointless.
+1

I'm just writing something similiar you are describing in Java. The bad side is that Nokia's Java support is very stupid so I'm still waiting for better Java support.

A Video Player (front-end for mplayer?) with bookmarks and resume play would be great
There's a php script called mplayer-resume that that will do exactly this. Just add a line to menu.conf to create a bookmark option in the osd menu. Something like <e name="Bookmark" ok="get_time_pos"/> in the cmdlist section.

This is -- almost-- exactly what I was looking for.

A few questions:

1. Is PHP support already on the N800 or do I need to find it somewhere alse?

2. It would be nice to bind get_time_pos to one of the hardware keys, but I believe mplayer on the N800 already uses all of them. Any ideas?

[edit] Maybe the exit key could be linked to both exiting mplayer and getting the value for get_time_pos? But how?

(Loads media content with speed of a music player) I have Kugu and Ukmp but start up is hell the more songs you have the longer it takes to load, some might say why do I have them both, Kugu looks great and it's the best music player on any ones n800, UKMP I like the youtube feature other than that I just would like to touch my screen and hear my music or watch a video or movie when the program only takes about 5 seconds to load.

You will have to install the
php package.

You're right, there don't seem to be any free buttons. I suppose one of the pairs of seek buttons could be move into the menu (UP/DOWN or LEFT/RIGHT) to free something up. I've looked into mapping two commands to a single key, but didn't have any luck with it.

What really bothers me is that I can't get the mime settings to work for mplayer. I'd like to be able to launch it from the file browser. I really hate gmplauncher.

You can do that in Kagu. playlist songs can be moved by holding the album icon in the lower right of the screen and pressing up/down on the dpad.

We'd have buttons for this, but screen space is rather at a premium.

You can also Save custom named playlists in the latest version of Kagu.

I think that's an issue with the underlying sound system. So until it's built into the OS, probably not real easy to do.

huh. Scanning might take a while in Kagu (album art downloads and all that), but startup should always be constant time for the number of songs in your archive.

Dang. It seems so logical: whenever you exit a movie, the player automagically stores its position. No hassle, no worries, no buttons to remember...

Meh. It's not the greatest interface, but it works -- kinda. Truncating the filenames a bit wouldn't hurt it though...
