Is there anyway to bookmark your location in the audio file (useful for podcasts). I know it was a star in the Chinook/Diablo versions but I can't seem to find the star or a method to bookmark the place.

Just be a little bit more patient. :)
The YouTube plugin is for the Diablo version and does not work with the N900 version yet.

Hi,
Nice stuff here. I have Zoutube and the ogg support, etc installed along with MediaBox.

I have some things I'm trying to figure out.

When the Vol slider on the left is at 100%, the Volume on the device is only 50%. So the volume is too low all the time.

Where do you fix that one at?

I have 51-1 FW by the way.

I can get mpg and flv files to play in mplayer but they won't play in MediaBox, how to fix that one? The FLV files do not show up in the browser?

Thanx for the nice bits you've done here!

Re: MediaBox Media Center 0.96 with UPnP and more
 

So the FLVs are playing but mpgs are not? The mpgs and everything else works in mplayer. I read there is someplace to set player backend but the file appears different in this release, I can't find it.

Also, I can't use it till the volume issue is resolved. When Mediabox is at 100%, the Phone volume is like around 40%. Volume works fine in the osso media player.

Re: MediaBox Media Center 0.96 with UPnP and more
 

MPEG ought to play fine too with the GStreamer backend. Is there anything special about your files? The filename extension perhaps? Does MediaBox list the MPEGs in the navigator?
Currently, the GStreamer backend is the only backend supported on the N900.

Volume control will be fixed in the next version.

Hey, nothing strange about the files. They play on a PC! They play thry mplayer on the N900. They actually show up everywhere with a thumbnail scene from the clip itself.

Where is the conf file for mediabox? How do I figure out what player is associated with what file? I think it's trying to use osso to play mpg files.

Thanx about the vol ctrl comment.

Re: MediaBox Media Center 0.96 with UPnP and more
 

The players.mapping file is located in
You can copy it to
and edit it there. Any entries in ~/.mediabox/players.mapping override the original settings.

But if MediaBox detects Maemo5 correctly, then the GStreamer backend is the only one that gets loaded. If the main window has a close button on the top-right then MediaBox detected Maemo5. If not, then we have a bug to find and fix.
Theoretically the mplayer backend might work on Maemo5 but is untested and not loaded. The osso backend cannot be used on Maemo5 since there is no osso-media-server.

Re: MediaBox Media Center 0.96 with UPnP and more
 

Thanx! So I moved the Players file and edited it. No matter what I assign as an MPEG player the results are the same. The file doesn't play. I changed the extension from mpg to mpeg, no change. Then I assigned random characters to the assignments and the files still play that were playing before. I never get any errors. I'm not sure it's using that player file.

Any suggestions? I did not reboot after changing the player file.

EDIT: My mistake, had the player file in the MyDocs/.mediabox dir.

Moved it, it's being read correctly now. But no love playing mpg. Seems strange. I enabled mplayer in the player file and it won't play, but mplayer playes the file from the command line. Seems like a mediabox issue
