maemo.org - Talk - [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.

Thank you to give it a try. hope it will work.

Suggestion: add log mode: If enabled, the log is automatically saved (can be done by modified shortcut (> for dumping to a file + timestamp for the file))
If OMP is closed normally, the log is deleted. Otherwise it's saved

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

i18n is not complete:
I use m3u playlists with Cyrillic names and Cyrillic files listed in them. All of them are seen (nearly) as:
Ñ„Ñ‹Ð²Ð°.mp3
Ð¿Ñ€Ð¾Ð¿Ñ€Ð»Ð¾.mp3
Ð¹Ñ†ÑƒÐºÑ†ÑƒÐºÐ½ÐµÑƒÐºÐµÐ³ÑƒÐµÐºÐ½Ð³.mp3

etc.

Care to fix? Thanks in advance!

no. Encoding problem.
You can easily test this:

Code:

$ echo фыва.mp3 > кириллика.m3u

And put it on your device.

Cannot reproduce... you're pressing the save button before closing, right? ;) Do automatically downloaded lyrics persist for offline viewing?

I have tracked down the problem with playlist names, but the songs inside are displayed correctly for me. Can you confirm that they are garbled too? And that the song names are displayed with the file extension (".mp3")?

yes. i copied the lyrics in the space and saved it. den i closed omp and opened omp again. in the song i pasted the lyrics and saved it. it says no internet connection. the lyrics should be there even in no network right? but its not.

I suspect either file permissions or shortcomings of the artist/title hashing algorithm. What does "ls -ld .lyrics" show in the terminal? What is the song name?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

Something slightly different: Would it be possible to completely ignore "tracker" and tell OMP where to look for music/video files? Maybe even browse files by their folder structure? (I know that there are players out there that do that, but they have other downfalls)
Tracker can be really annoying (ignoring NoIndexFileTypes) and for some reason it doesn't index my *.ogm files :(

Hmm, I just noticed. Probably affects some like yours, but mine doesn't. OMP is updated quite frequently so try checking (via apt-get in terminal or FAPMan) whether there are updates available for it and try upgrading.

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.

I deleted all album art cache to see if it helped anything about the bug. Well, it didn't and still it doesn't load album art. Everything's gone, so I ditched embedded covers and started to use cover.jpg files instead. I was just trying to help by testing a possible bug fix.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

Since I've been using OMP exclusively for months, I've uninstalled the stock media player. However, Zoutube no longer works, so I guess I need to symlink OMP to the name of the stock media player binary. 1) Could someone please tell me the name of the stock binary, and 2) Can OMP handle all the command line arguments of the stock binary?

Estel

2012-01-29 05:49

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

stock mediaplayer got 3 binaries in /usr/bin/:

Code:

mediaplayer

mediaplayer.launch

mediaplayerrestore

I have no idea which one You need, and if all command line arguments are supported.

New issue (another stock to OMP difference):
I have screentaps click. When a player is playing, screentaps should become mute. It is so with stock MP, but not with OMP.

Hello.
This weekend I thought I could make a new icon for OMP that is more in line with the stock mediaplayer.

After a few suggestions I thought that simple as this is the best, feel free to include them in the package.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

@toxaris
good proposition. Currently used icon is... ugly (no offence).

I`ve noticed font problems with multimedia servers names: OMP doesn`t show polish characters (like "ł", "ś" etc) properly, giving trash symbols instead.

I just can't reproduce it, all the songs are displayed fine on my device. :c I also looked at the code and it appears to be UTF8-safe, so I am quite confused now.

I tried to make OMP nicely cooperate with a file browser ("Open whole folders" and "Append opened songs" in the settings menu) as a substitute for an integrated browser, but I am aware that it's still not as convenient as it could be, so the browser is very likely to come.

Speaking of missing functionality in this area, most notable is opening audio streams in the video window. Have you made OMP the default media player (as described in the wiki: http://wiki.maemo.org/Open_Media_Player)? If not, it could be the reason of Zoutube failing.

That's why I think I'm not free to include it after all. I'll probably upload a few bugfixes tomorrow and modify the old icon a bit, so it looks shinier. ;) If someone considers it ugly, I'm open to suggestions, but make sure it doesn't belong to someone else. And of course it's possible to change the icon on your own, simply replace "/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps/openmediaplayer.png".

That tracks had id3 tags, I am sorry for the confusion... again.
In russian id3 we have serious encoding problems (deprecated 8bit cp1251 and utf8 mixed).

Sorry.

I don't want to sound like negatron, but I don't think it's very useful for tracks, that we have already on device. Maybe, when recording few seconds of track via microphone (that we hear in radio, or so), but it's still a "gadget" only.

Of course, if someone is really willing to code that, and it won't increase memory footprint for casual use - why not.

Is it possible that this is not a problem with OMP then? Or should I keep looking for a solution? Does stock media player display everything correctly?

What worries me more than memory consumption is adding more dependencies, especially depending on a package that is only in extras-devel, in case OMP was to be moved to testing or CSSU.

Sorry, but Your suggestion is totally out of line here. Downloading and installing -devel stuff via post-install script of extras or CSSU program? WTF?...

@gidzzz
Isn't it possible to make OMP "plugable", i.e. make it such a way, that additional package - be it from -devel or whatever - can be installed, providing said functionality (tracks recognition)?

I'm not talking about real plug-in's system, just separating two things.

I guess splitting it into another executable and checking for its presence could do. Having a separate application for recognizing music is maybe even a better idea than other kinds of pluggability.

BTW: for people who are desperate for this feature, I recommend a player called Instinctiv.

Unfortunately this is somewhat more complicated than it may seem and will not appear in today's update. Moreover, I consider it a bug only in half, because I kind of like those clicks. ;)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

found one (very, very minor ;) ):
if you change the volume via screen (not hw-keys) and tap above the bar, it doesn't close the volume bar, it changes between playlist/current song;
while it closes volume bar in stock player.

and thanks for the great (and continuing) work!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

Thanks for pointing out the difference, but after pondering it for a while I decided to leave it the old way, because it gives more feeling of multitasking to the interface.

The package just finished building, so expect it to appear in the repositories in a while.

Enabled previous/next buttons for UPnP videos.
Added missing keyboard shortcuts to the playlist browser.
Fixed a bug with the progress slider sometimes being unnecessarliy disabled.
Fixed problems with UTF-8 in names of playlists and UPnP shares.
Fixed wrong song being selected when different kinds of files are present in one UPnP directory.
Shiny icon.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

@gidzzz: progress bar i now playing window, should remain static and with fixed width... now (when listening to over 100 minute mixes), numbers which state a current time in song shrink a progress bar when supress that 100 minute (or add another digit)....
same is with numbers that represents a overall length of a track (on a right side of the progress bar)

now.... i have something else in mind for the portrait orientation, and with viewing a playlist in now playing window... (just a something to think about):
first of all, thank you for listening my advise about shrinking album art in portrait by tapping to show playlist instead of progress bar, BUT now i have maybe a better proposition for that:
how about this for example:
you are in now playing window, and progress bar is shown... you want to see playlist (current), and you tap on album art, and it show you in whole display, a current pls, with no album art, and with only that familiar PLAY button in lower right corner, that you press, and go back to progress bar, and album art.

in that way, you see a lot more of the pls, and you don't even need a control buttons in that view (tap on song is play by default)

i can explain you graphically if you don't understand anything from my post :p :)

best regards ;)

Add new streaming bookmark in internet radio and all stations will be repeated twice.

Also I have three stations while it shows there are four (while in main view).

One more thing does anyone knows why my friends laptop (wifi turned on) is shown at the bottom left of the media player? What can I do with it, clicking it will take me to empty window with busy rotating icon at top.
