Re: [Announce] Music Player with Equalizer - symfonie
 
Nice Work!

Some feedback :)

- Auto landscape/portrait doesn't work for me. Only if I choose land/port.
- Something wrong with volume? I had to keep it as low as possible and it doesn't obey general volume control from status menu. Feature because of EQ? Volume level max is still dangerously loud for accidents :| At least for me (using headphones).
- Portrait mode is where this thing is made for :) So right now list accidentally scrolls to right when you are scrolling. I do not think that basic feature of lists where it gives user ability to move list beyond list area. Hard to describe but it gives too much of moving space and IMHO distracts scrolling/moving. Actually should work same way as in landscape mode.
-Going back from portrait to landscape makes icons rearrange.
-IMHO icons are not too small.
- Text though is bit too small because its height is limited by note icon. Bit bigger might be better but not too much

.edit
Sorry for those that you already mentioned in first post.

..edit
After using this for couple of minutes i´m just wondering why this kind of mode is not in default player. especially portrait. Damn. Just sweet. Like it should be. Much information on one eyefull! That's how everything should be on this screen! And you can still maximize it bit taking off some icons :)

Hi folks,

Thanks for supporting the development of this application, especially those who have provided suggestions to improve it. I have been very busy and will be like this for another week. So before then I cannot release any more updates. However, I have complied the list of features I am going to implement for the next update or future updates. Please be patient :)


- will fix browser all the way to the root
- will implement load and save equalizer preset
- will implement options to hide all toolbars
- will implement shuffle mode
- will implement repeat mode (1 song or the whole playlist)
- will implement playlist creating is coming but I need more time
- read meta information such as song artist and album name
- investigate this see if it can be solved: When I'm looking for a file in the list, the list can be moved from right to left that is making it difficult to control.
- more to come

Re: [Announce] Music Player with Equalizer - symfonie
 
was going to try this out but got this warning!

Hi,

The Qt 4.6 libraries in Extras-devel are starting to make their way to
Extras-testing as applications using them start to feel ready. However,
we should avoid them landing in Extras.

The reasons:

- Their own maintainers (the Qt team) don't want them in Extras. They
say they are not final and ready, and having them in Extras-devel was
the obvious way to get the feedback that is helping a lot getting them
in shape.

- When the Qt 4.6 libraries are final they will be integrated in the
Maemo 5 official release. We will share this plan in more detail before
that release comes so the affected developers are aware and can work in
sync. We all want to avoid any hassle to end users and if Qt 4.6 ends up
in Extras the risk of them getting in trouble with dependencies when
updating is high.

So please, don't promote Qt 4.6 apps to Extras-testing and if there is
any already there don't promote it to Extras. Don't worry, the Qt and
maemo teams are working at full speed to get that release/update out in
a reasonable time.

Re: [Announce] Music Player with Equalizer - symfonie
 
I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this but can you extend the equalizer up to 20khz? :) I was hoping to brighten the stock headphones by adding +2-3dB around 6-8khz.

Another neat option would be a finger-controllable curve-based parametric EQ that you can adjust graphically.

And a pony. :D

Re: [Announce] Music Player with Equalizer - symfonie
 
yes, a pony would be nice too :)

Re: [Announce] Music Player with Equalizer - symfonie
 
What is the difference to EasyPlayer? Looks very similar...

klausr 2010-03-27 15:38
Re: [Announce] Music Player with Equalizer - symfonie
 
@DaSilva: EasyPlayer has a different file concept that symfonie. It scans all music files a represents each directory containing music files in an own list entry. You can then show/hide the files containing that directory.

For example, if you have the following dirs:

.sounds -> Dire_Straits -> Brothers_in_arms ->Money_for_nothing.mp3,...

You won't see the dir "Dire_Straits" in your list, just "Brothers_in_arms" containing the .mp3s found there.

Symfonie has a real directory browser, you can "walk" through all dirs.

Besides that, symfonie is more advanced, e.g. it has an EQ (have no plans to add on in EasyPlayer) and supports potrait mode (will add this in the near future to EasyPlayer).
Symfonie uses C++/Qt, whereas EasyPlayer is written in Python/gtk+.
If PR 1.2 is out, I think about Qt... but as long as the gtk+ libs are provided on the delivered device, I see no reason to drop gtk+.

Re: [Announce] Music Player with Equalizer - symfonie
 
Hi folks,

symfonie has been updated. Here's the changes:

* Graduate volume resuming
* Limited file browser to home directory
* Added *.wma file type filter

I also have added some screen shots. Check them out :)

@rldstover48
With the latest version, you can choose to show *.wma file type in the file browser. Just go to menu -> File Types -> check the "*.wma" checkbox.

Of course, your N900 needs to have required codec to play wma files. I haven't tested the playback on my N900, so I can't tell you.

Re: [Announce] Music Player with Equalizer - symfonie
 
I can not comment about this application because ... all my
music is in flac!. You plan to add this file type?

Update:
With Symfonie I can see my network, but nothing else (I do not see subfolders or files ...)... In combination with "Wizard Mounter" I can see my network and even listen to each mp3 file. Great! Please add flac and the goal will be total!

Nice and snappy little app here, I think the best thing about it is the speed of everything. Will test further to see if this could be my default player.

Re: [Announce] Music Player with Equalizer - symfonie
 
I'm trying to install this, but i get an error "conflict with application packages: libqt4-maemo5-webkit (4.6.0~git20091218-0maemo1), libqt4-maemo5-network (4.6.0~git20091218-0maemo1),
libqt4-maemo5-xmlpatterns (4.6.0~git20091218-0maemo1)."

how can i get around this? (i got the same errors along with something with phonon when i tried to install QT MOBILE WEATHER as well)

Not a linux person, and a noob as well...so in simple english would be helpful :)

thanks!

A directory based music player with equalizer
===================================
This is preview package of a light weight music player written in QT. The player is still under heavy development, though basic media features are supported. Here's list of features included in this build:

- Browse file using directory structure (any folders as long as you have access to it)
- 8-band audio equalizer
- Sleep timer
- Resuming the playback from last opened state (still testing this)
- Landscape/Portrait mode (Toolbars still need some more work)
- Full screen mode
===========================================
Known issues:
- When changing view mode (landscape or portrait), toolbar buttons got mis-arranged (will fix this when I have time).
- High CPU usage (probably due to the equalizer). Solutions are: make equalizer feature optional or set higher process priority (is this possible?).
- "Auto" viewing mode is not working due to current QT support limitation


Updates

==20100401 (v0.2-2)==
* Uploaded program screen shots
* Updated window title
* Bug fix for graduate volume resuming (now should be working)
* Limited file browser to home directory
* Added *.wma file type filter


==20100309==
* Icons overhual
* Updated about dialog
* Added *.wav file extension filter

==20100308==
* Added *.m4a file extension filter
* Equalizer is made an optional feature now due to high CPU consumption
* Removed directory path for songs in item view
* Slightly increased item view font size
* Added *.mp3/*.mp4/*.ogg file extension filter
* New bug: Stacked window is now broken after adding menu to sub window

http://thecodecentral.com/i/s3.gif




The package can be found at http://maemo.org/packages/view/symfonie. It has already been imported to extras-devel, so anyone who has extras-devel repository enabled should be able to download it.

To enable extra-devel, add this to your App Manager's catelog:
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel

Be very caution that extras-devel is for people who want to test/try softwares which are not ready for releasing. Please read here for more information:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-devel

Background:
The original intent of writing this application was that I need a simple media player "just the way I wanted" - play mp3 files by folders. I didn't want to tag my music library nor to create play list manually. I use directory to manage all my music files because I can group them into exactly the way I wanted. Thus this application is created. So if you don't like it, please don't thumb it down because it is not meant to replace other music players out there.

Thank you for read this and I hope you will find this application useful :)
It would be nice if you make it clear on your first post that this is a fremantle (N900) app and is not for N8xx users.

@Dan
Clarification added.

@DaSilva
Are you referring the little triangle in the menu?

@ppriyank
I don't know what is the cause but you can try to run the following in the terminal as root:
sudo gainroot
apt-get remove libqt4-maemo5*
Install symfonie again

Notice that by doing apt-get remove you'll also remove other applications which depend on these packages.

Thanks, but i just reinstalled the latest firmware via NSU, and after that i was able to download/install everything :) so i guess the last time i updated my firmware OTA, it probably missed some files.

Thanks for the help though, now just gotta get that sygic as soon as i get paid :)

Re: [Announce] Music Player with Equalizer - symfonie
 
When I press "r" while in the file browser the app shuts down, instead of searching for files starting with "r", like the other letters seem to do. Is that normal?

code 2010-04-02 19:46
Re: [Announce] Music Player with Equalizer - symfonie
 
The player doesn't have a search function. If any shortcut key does something, it will be by mistake. I am planning to add toolbar equivalent shortcuts though. Also I am planning to add help file to document what each toolbar button and shortcut does.

qw3rty 2010-04-02 20:10
Re: [Announce] Music Player with Equalizer - symfonie
 
Interesting. In my very quick testing just now, typing letters definitely moves to the files starting with those letters, except for "r" and "n". Those two crash it.

It's really good to know that you are planning to eventually add proper search functionality. symfonie is shaping up to be the best music player on the N900!

DaSilva 2010-04-03 08:06
Re: [Announce] Music Player with Equalizer - symfonie
 
I mean that symfonie has no icon in the application menu (at least not for me) and because of this it is displayed only as a blue dot (default icon for Maemo applications without an icon).
It would be nice if you could add one...

R and N keys are shortcut keys which suppose to navigate to previous/next song. They were unintentionally added. On my N900 they function as they should though, no crash for me. The wierd thing is in the source code they are Ctrl+R and Crtl+N.

I am going to change them to left and right arrow keys in the future update.

I see. I have been looking for free icons but couldn't find one that fits. I am looking for something related to its name. Maybe someone here can make some suggestion?

Re: [Announce] Music Player with Equalizer - symfonie
 
I use this on a daily basis and I believe this can be the best muswic player on the N900 by a mile.

I have a few comments:

1. It does not remember its last song state / orientation / equalizer with leaked fw when Symfonie is closed and reopened. (well, not sure if this has to do with leaked fw that has Qt 4.6 but just an fyi) Is there some config file that I can check? (maybe somethng is not saving?)

2. Would like to see support for AAC audio files. (this would be handy as Recaller app records in aac by default)

3. Would like an option to click on a folder and play the entire contents of that folder in random or sequence. (even all the songs in the sub-directories of that selected folder)

4. Ability to pause music when headphone/earphone is unplugged. (such as what's possible suing headphone daemon or Mediabox app)

5. Ability to put favourite directories be shown at the main home screen. (my songs are all in the microsd and not in My Music)

6. Support bluetooth headset play/next/previous buttons. (eg. Nokia BH-905)

Symfonie cann't see music files under a subfolder. My music files are stored in the subfolder not the main folder.
Please let me know how to.

Hi there, I can cook up an icon for you if needed, what is the size and filetype you require. I am not a programmer, merely a simple designer, so would need this info for me to make you something...

DaSilva 2010-06-01 09:10
Re: [Announce] Music Player with Equalizer - symfonie
 
I am not sure if it was mentioned before but symfonie still uses the (now) deprecated libqt4-maemo5-* packages instead of just libqt4.
Maybe you can fix that as well with the next update?
Thanks :)

code 2010-06-08 11:38
Re: [Announce] Music Player with Equalizer - symfonie
 
Symfonie has been updated. This version has become much better than the previous version. Please check the package release page for more information.

I have recompiled the package so it now should work for PR 1.2 without libqt4-maemo5 packages.

Good point. Actually I wanted to it make to extra-testing too. I think this version is very much ready but I still need to test it some more for bugs.

I have promoted the packages to extra-testing:

If you like symfonie please help us test the package and promote it to extra.

Re: [Announce] Music Player with Equalizer - symfonie
 
Add some search function like ctrl+f and type song name. Some equalizer presets would be good like treble, bass, full treble and full bass, disco, rock etc.
