Meanwhile I'm just switching to "KFZ Profil" and start OMP with my QBWidget. For managing the fm transmitter stuff I use the fm friendly widget.
(Car profile was added via ProfilesX Extended Profiles Manager from Nicolai Hess
...He's my Guru! ;)

The QBWidget got an ON/OFF State. So, if touched it switches to my car profile and starts omp. if touched again, it'll switch back to general profile.
I also added notifications, just for the kicks. ^^

Here's the code I use:
Code:

[queen-beecon-header]
version=1,000000
checksum=1258816
[queen-beecon-exported-command]
title=KFZ
command=if [ "$QBW_EXEC_REASON" == "QBW_STARTUP_UPDATE" ];then echo "ON";exit 0;fi;if [ "$QBW_CURRENT_RESULTS_TEXT" == "ON" ];then echo "OFF";dbus-send --session --dest=com.nokia.profiled --type=method_call /com/nokia/profiled com.nokia.profiled.set_profile string:"KFZ" && dbus-send --session --dest=com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr --type=method_call /com/nokia/HildonDesktop/AppMgr com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr.LaunchApplication string:openmediaplayer && dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.Notifications /org/freedesktop/Notifications org.freedesktop.Notifications.SystemNoteInfoprint string:"KFZ Profil eingestellt. Hierdurch wird jeder Anruf nach 5 Sekunden automatisch angenommen und auf dem Lautsprecher ausgegeben. Desweiteren öffnet sich der OpenMediaPlayer!";exit 1; else echo "ON";dbus-send --session --dest=com.nokia.profiled --type=method_call /com/nokia/profiled com.nokia.profiled.set_profile string:"general" && dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.Notifications /org/freedesktop/Notifications org.freedesktop.Notifications.SystemNoteInfoprint string:"Allgemeines Profil wieder hergestellt.";exit 0;fi;

also I'm using the FM friendly widget and an invisible RDSNotify widget in the downer right corner. ;)
(just added a new invisible skin)

http://i45.tinypic.com/29ut2mu.png

//EDIT:
Attached the "invisible skin for the fmrdsnotify widget:
just copy the invisible.svg to /home/user/.fmrdsnotify and set the new skin in the options of the widget.

Something like the above script maybe?

I did something like that before last reflash, plus i added a line to invoke a python script (thanks m2cm2c) to skip songs and made a "kill" script to bring all to "normal" again. Both, start and stop scripts, had a desktop shortcut.

Just to make things clear - those video are, normally, working in media player, and this skipping video fenomena is not related to being unable to play something.

Why I know it's kipping through videos? Despite it doing it fast, sometimes, I see first frame for a fraction of second. It may be related to problem observed by merlin.

I remember stumbling upon something like that in the past, but I never could pin down the origin. I tried with going to the tasknav after exiting a video, but it's not happening. I guess I'll have to prepare some Theora or broken videos and also try with that.

Ideally if possible, make OMP do a light 'beep' like the FM transmitter in standby does; so you know playback will resume.

I could see this being a potentially useful option for videos too.
If you are interupted by a call mid-video, you many have to set the stand back up or plug in the TV out etc after the call.
While your doing this the video will be playing and you will have to skip back to see what you missed.

I thought of it and in my opinion even better would be music fading in. There would be 3-5 seconds before full volume is reached, the warning sound would be the music itself and it's also a neat effect.

Highly unlikely. OMP doesn't stay in the background if you close it, so it cannot resume playback.

I doubt it has any significant effect on battery, unless most of your songs are 10 seconds long.

I think it's too dangerous. If you want it badly, you could try with a simple script, which would start playback through D-Bus and then launch OMP.

Mostly I use OMP in the car, so I wonder if you see a chance for an option to start OMP directly with the car view. Maybe via a command line parameter which I can use with a dbus call?

Yes, good idea.

If MAFW reports an error, OMP often spits it out on the console. Run it from the terminal and watch the output when you try to play an .ogg, maybe that will give some clue.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 
if you still got ressources left, here's an idea of optimizing the 'car view' :)


Well, If you listen to all of your tracks shuffled, you might get to a song that makes you want to hear more from that album. so a button to quickly switch to that album/folder would be nice.

on the other hand, an button to switch back to play all tracks/folders shuffled again is handy, too.

And sometimes you would like to do some action on the n900 while your in car view, so an Quick Switch to N900 dashboard would be lot of help while you're driving.

What do you think?

Thanks for the tip, but output looks rather unhelpful:
Code:

18 - 35 0x0
0 - 17 0x41c0f0
NowPlayingWindow::updatePlaylist | 0 0 0
QNetworkReplyImpl::_q_startOperation was called more than once
query 0x41c0f0 complete
0 - 17 0x48a5e8
query 0x48a5e8 complete
18 - 35 0x0

The most strange thing, is that i calculates song playtime correctly (and playtime of whole playlist, made of .ogg files), but is unable to play it.
---

As for vide windows opening in series, it's reproducible every time, if You use video, that You're unable to play. In my case, it's Theora (but it should work and worked :( ), You would probably need one broken on purpose. Easiest way to have one - record something via camera-ui, and kill it without finalizing recording.

Console output of series video is:

Code:

X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
  Major opcode: 31 (X_GrabKeyboard)
  Resource id:  0x0
NowPlayingIndicator::autoSetVisibility
NowPlayingIndicator::autoSetVisibility
NowPlayingIndicator::autoSetVisibility

NowPlayingWindow::updatePlaylist | 0 0 0

NowPlayingIndicator::autoSetVisibility
NowPlayingIndicator::autoSetVisibility
NowPlayingIndicator::autoSetVisibility
NowPlayingWindow::updatePlaylist | 0 0 15
playlist type rejected, update aborted
NowPlayingIndicator::autoSetVisibility
paused position: 10
Metadata changed: "duration" = QVariant(qlonglong, 2626)
Metadata changed: "audio-codec" = QVariant(QString, "MPEG 1 Audio, Layer 2")
Metadata changed: "bitrate" = QVariant(int, 160000)
Metadata changed: "res-x" = QVariant(int, 640)
Metadata changed: "res-y" = QVariant(int, 480)
Video codec info unavailable, switching to radio mode
NowPlayingIndicator::autoSetVisibility

Funny fact - after trying to play "broken" video, it redirects me to radio stream (series of windows start after that, but in console, seems to be mentioned earlier - loading time, probably)

After watching videos, going back to main menu and pressing "now playing" on the bottom right, something strange is happening - many "unknown" windows are closed with system sounds of closing application. I think player trying to play video playlist in music player.

That would be fine for music but what about video?

Would this effect all system sounds like operating the volume control or work seperately.

I'm fiddeling with the carview.qml atm.
changing font sizes, colors and buttons.

This is what I got so far.:

I've changed:
Code:

Button { id: prevButton
Button { id: playButton
Button { id: nextButton
Button { id: quitButton

it seems the play and pause buttons are hardcoded somewhere else.
How can I set custom icons for play/pause buttons in car view?

and i wonder if it's somehow possible to set an background image for the car view. I would love to see my girlfriend or my car's emblem behind the Songview :)

Night and Day Mode would be cool as hell, too.

I would try myself if someone shows me the way.

//EDIT:
modded carview attached
+new buttons

copy the carview.qml to /home/opt/openmediaplayer/qml/carview
(save your original)
copy the buttons to /home/user/MyDocs/.images

//EDIT:
This is what I got today. :)

http://i50.tinypic.com/28tkf1t.png http://i46.tinypic.com/b7mgkl.png

...as I'm an pretty amateur, i can't make the "controls" background transparent. If I do so, The Metatext is under the buttons and I don't know how to move them elswhere on the screen :(

can confirm that bug.
i watch a video and then i get a sms, pause playback and go back to the videolist, switch via standard taskman to sms and then this "new" window starts appearing, so i have to close omp.

also appears when pausing a video and switching to taskma via ctrl+ back (well the delete-button^^)

I can confirm this bug!

The gpodder interaction does not work very well. It was perfect, until (I think) the "resume play on headphone reconnect" feature. When I open an audio podcast, it opens in videomode most times . Nothing is played then. If I retry, audio opens, but the podcast plays from beginning, instead from the last position.
Maybe a MIME problem?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 
Bug with many unknown windows still present after upgrade.
No need to press @now playing@, after playing some video (not always) and returning to video list or main interface, player is minimizing and 5-7 "unknown" windows are closing with system sound.
I have no CSSU installed.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 
Hello.

OMP rules.

However! For some reason AAC files will not play! If you select an AAC file from file manager it will open OMP and go to the now playing screen. This is as it should be. The problem is the file will not start. OMP shows there are 0/0 files to be played.

So. Click on AAC from file manager. OMP opens but will not play said file. In fact OMP shows there are 0/0 files to play. There are no errors shown on command line.

The funny thing is...if I change the file extension to mp3 it will play just fine...

Estel 2012-07-07 16:59

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 
Absolutely confirming it. I suppose it's related to tracker not being aware of .aac playback availability.

vi_ 2012-07-07 17:33

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 
But this file has not been 'tracked' it is in the tracker 'ignore' directory list.

It would seem it does not matter if the file is tracked or not as when the extension is played to MP3, it plays fine.

Estel 2012-07-07 21:42

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 
Because MAFW know that it can play mp3 due to this extension being registered in tracker, while aac is not :) I'm experiencing similar problem with .ogg - I can't play them, until I rename their extension (my problem is quite more complicated, as .ogg was registered with tracker, to no avail, and no one seems to have idea WTF).

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 
Well, AAC files work in stock MP so this argument makes no sense.

Yup, just confirmed it works absolutely fine in stock media player. This is a serious bug.

Ough! Good catch, my bad. I'm using OMP for so long, that I actually forget to check it in stock (or about stock existence, at all).

Confirming, same here.

I can confirm this bug. Unfortunately, this means OMP is currently not usable for me, as no (working) older versions are available in Extras or Extras testing.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 
I don't know if this issue has been already reported but, sorry, I have no time to read last posts in last 10 pages of this threads. Please, don't misunderstand me, with my job and my family, currently I have no time to follow all threads here I'm interested in.

I've noticed that "Video bookmarks" have been successfully added to recent OMP release. However, these video bookmarks appear to me under "Internet Radio" category and not under "Video" category, as it happens in built-in Media Player. Of course, it doesn't bother me (somehow, these bookmarks are related to internet connection and streaming, though they are video bookmarks); just for you to know.

Thanks a lot for your hard work.

gidzzz 2012-07-13 20:17

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 
I'm sorry for being absent for so long, but still I was able to make a few changes to OMP here an there. Unfortunately not many, but so much time has passed since the last update that I'm pushing a new version to the repositories anyway.
  • Searching in the video browser.
  • Fixed ghost windows popping up after returning from a video.
  • Added support for D-Bus calls: open_mp_main_view (from the stock player) and open_mp_car_view (exclusive to OMP).
  • Fixed uneditable text fields when adding a bookmark from the video window.
  • Made headers in the radio browser immune to filtering.
  • Added a few missing keyboard shortcuts.
  • Updated translations.

I tried various suggestions on how to trigger the bug with a burst of windows, but succeeded only with broken videos. Nevertheless, I suspect the fix is for everyone and I'm looking forward to have it verified.

Due to the nature of this update, open_mp_car_view is only half-finished. It opens the car view, but the list of songs is empty.

QML views are my least favorite part o OMP, so I'm not eager to do it. However, regular Now Playing could use something like that too and then hooking it up to the car view would probably not be much of a hassle.

Such button is in the main menu, which is only a few clicks in the top right corner away from the car view, so it's just adding unnecessary complexity IMO. I also wouldn't like to press it by accident.

Fading-in would indeed be bad for videos.

The time required to connect to a TV, take a seat or calm down after an exciting call can vary greatly, so maybe not resuming at all is the way to go.

Adjusting volume in MAFW affects the global level.

Icon for the play/pause button is set at runtime, the image specified in the .qml is just for offline preview. It is taken from the current theme.

Maybe a MIME problem?

Video window is opened in case you feed OMP a video stream, so it can be played immediately. If only audio is found, it should seamlessly switch to the radio window (but it does not because playback fails to start).

I think the problem is that MAFW doesn't like it when playback is started early under certain conditions (which are rather foggy to me, but I'll try to sort that out)..

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 
The latest build still does not open the audio window, when
gpodder calls it. When I try a second time, it works. But then
the playback is often at beginning, no resuming.
As I said, previous versions (a month ago) did all this without
problems, so it can still be a mafw problem?

gidzzz 2012-07-13 22:13

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 
The only thing I'm pretty sure of is that it's not something about MIME.

Blaming MAFW is just a guess after having a quick look at it. The symptoms are like those of a problem I had to deal with in the past. When playback refused to start, simply preceding it with a command to get playlist size (and do nothing with the result) magically fixed the issue.

I had a closer look today and this time no magic was necessary, only a workaround for some inconsistency in MAFW.

W: Ignoring Provides line with DepCompareOp for package binutils


I have exactly the same version as you do, that is
Code:

20120713-1
.
The output of the command is similar:
Code:

method return sender=:1.231 -> dest=:1.304 reply_serial=2
But other than that, nothing happens...

The player doesn't start at all? If it does start, is it OMP or the original? Does anything happen if you execute the command with OMP already running?

as for me, non player starts.

Possible reason for diviation:
Did you also edit /usr/share/dbus-1/services/com.nokia.mediaplayer.service to have openmediaplayer start as default?
Like explained in the first post.

Like in the wiki, to be exact.

I think this is what happens:
If you have the stock player there (/usr/bin/mediaplayer) and none of the players is running, making a D-Bus call will open the stock player. However, it has no idea what to do with "open_mp_car_view" and does nothing. Neither exits nor shows the main window, but it's still sitting in the background. Because of that, all consecutive calls will reach the stock player and there will be no visible effect, even with OMP running.

Try this way:
1. Make sure that the stock player is not hiding somewhere (execute "killall mediaplayer", for example).
2. Open OMP.
3. Call open_mp_car_view.
4. If it works, the above paragraph seems to be correct.

Conclusion:
You need to either launch OMP prior to opening the car view or make OMP (/usr/bin/openmediaplayer) your default player.

Sometimes OMP doesn't start playing automatically after selecting a song/playlist/video. Need to press play button. Only happening if OMP doesn't play anything.

Sorry, it was my fault. I always had OMP as default (as explained in the first post) but I forgot to repeat it after a reflash few weeks ago.
That is, the dbus call was calling the original mediaplayer that has no car.view functionality.

Thank you for help and again, sorry for misleading info.

Having a few problems with OMP occasionly, all are random and a cannot seem to reproduce them.

Please see attached,

First picture. This happens on opening OMP occasionly, it happened to me yesterday but also once back in May.
OMP opens but nothing in the main window works (play, skip etc.) also the text on screen is grey. This has happened with music in the default location and in my current location on the uSD.
Restarting OMP fixes.

Second Picture, has only happened once. I was using an application in portrait and switched landscape then opened OMP. The Now playing screen got stuck half way between rotations all functions worked but only restarting OMP fixed.

The last is the terminal output from a crash when I deleted a playlist via holding and selecting delete playlist.

I know there's not much to go on but I thought it best to post any issues with OMP so you are aware.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 
I just finished the missing half (well, actually it's a lot larger) of the update from a few days ago.
  • Display cover art when listening to radio, if provided by the station.
  • QML song lists are kept synchronized with Now Playing (e.g. early open_mp_car_view does not cause an empty playlist).
  • Reconnecting a headset does not resume playback if it was paused manually in the meantime.
  • Ending a call does not resume playback if a headset was disconnected in the meantime.
  • Fixed frequent failures when trying to open an audio stream.
  • Opening a whole directory does not rely on Tracker, making it usable for unindexed files.
  • Improved reliability of metadata in the radio window and reduced the number of queries.
  • Fixed the address field not being filled automatically in the bookmark dialog for new audio streams.
  • Fixed a problem with starting playback when opening a whole directory in presence of UTF-8 names.
  • Fixed problems with starting playback after building a new playlist while in the paused state.

vi_, does the new version change anything in regard to AAC?

mase, streaming should go past the video window now, but I wonder if it's resuming correctly (it has always worked for me, even if the initial attempt to start a podcast failed).
