A video editing application, like Steve Jobs showed during the iphone4 intro, would be nice. AFAICS the building blocks are there, like a gstreamer encoder plugin that is used by recording video's with the camera.

Re: Freyja Media Player
 

My player wouldn't play videos, it would focus on music like amarok.

Yes, i plan to add lyrics and album art support. Equalizer is not difficult to implement, but it wouldn't use DSP, so battery would be drained quickly. I intend to use phonon as audio backend. My first goal remains usability.

If somebody asks himself why don't i patch the original maemo player, well, ask nokia for sources and someone will.

I intend to do a sync software, or a plugin for amarok to sync music with n900.

I would buy it if you can provide stretch/zoom option....like the real player

Re: Freyja Media Player
 

What do you mean with that?

Re: Freyja Media Player
 

+playing by folder
+MAFW backend
+battery usage while playing with EQ on should be as much as the default media player.

I'd pay good money for that.

Re: Freyja Media Player
 

There is a Player for Palm OS an Windows mobile. It is called pocket-tunes. Same features and I would pay 10 $.

Re: Freyja Media Player
 

i personally don't like MAFW. It is full of Gobject stuff while freyja is Qt, and it isn't compatible with meego afaik. Phonon is the right path. It offers equalizer, but eq comes at a cost.

Also afaik mafw would limit some playlist features that i have in mind (like dynamic playlists). I'll see if it's worth it.

EDIT: it's not worth it. mafw is just a layer over gstreamer in maemo, and phonon uses gstreamer under maemo builds.

Re: Freyja Media Player
 

Wouldn't using anything other than MAFW would cause hiccups in the audio while the backlight is turned on/off or just using the device with the player in the background?

Also if the EQ would cause battery drainage, that would be a dealbreaker, sorry.

Re: Freyja Media Player
 

If it would match the close quality of coreplayer, i would as none of the current n900/linux players are good enough.

There is one that looks promissing and i hope will be able to kick coreplayer lack of n900 support in the backside, named mediabox.
It offers some cool staff already like youtube.

Re: Freyja Media Player
 

Nope, freyja process should simply be reniced to achieve that, and it will take care of that.

All EQs cause battery drainage, because they require additional audio processing. I don't think DSPs can do that.
