I noticed this late last night. I thought I would let someone else try it first. ;) Sounds great, so I'll install it now that I know it won't blow up my N900. :D

Re: New Media player home widget
 

mhm... i had to start the default media player and play one song to get the information displayed in the widget.

but now it's working fine.

to-do: album-art and opening media-player by clicking album-art, maybe a way to switch between repeat- and random-modes. :)

but nice widget. i like it :D

Just to clarify, the bug tracker for this project is an email link to Nicolai? I don't want to start spamming the man with bugs, or is that the SOP for these things?

I've found that using this widget, playing a playlist with the media player open, then closing the media player, causes the BH-214 bluetooth headset controls to stop functioning. Running the widget with the media player open, works great.

Hi,
yes I am working on a media playwer widget.
At the moment it only works while the mediaplayer is open
(or the stock media player widget is used).

I will make an announcement when it is more stable and
ready for testing.

regards
Nicolai

Nicolai
Thanks very much for your great work
I tried the widget. It works much nicer than the built in one, less resource, no lag, no freezing. Very nice indeed.
But I tried to use the stop/play button on my bluetooth headset (cheap one anyway) and it doesnot respond. The builtin widget responds well with bluetooth controller.
Is it because my buffalo headset not supported or your widget has yet this function included?
Keep up the great work!

Re: New Media player home widget
 

Hi,

new version 0.2.
Still a little bit unstable. New features:
- works without opening the mediaplayer application
- shows album art
- tap on album to open mediaplayer application
- tap on title label opens a dialog to select a playlist
(for me, the most important feature)

Can please someone, who has problems with the playbutton
with the stock mediaplayer widget, try if this problem doesn't
occur with this widget.

I don't know why there is a problem with bluetooth headsets, and
I can not test this (don't have one).

I had to trick the loading and unloading of this widget, due to
the nature of the mediaframework and how hildon-home plugins
are handled. So if you try to change the widget icons you need
to reboot your device (or restart hildon-home) to make the changes
visible.

Have fun,
Nicolai
