is it just me or this mediaplayer doesnt work with TV player by Demludi? It just opens the mediaplayer but no channel is streamed! however if i make the stock mediaplayer as the default then the channels are streamed!

this is a fantastic player by the way! thanks for all d efforts. i have a n9 but the music on n900 sounds much better!

I have a request of behalf of a friend (non-TMO N900 user).

Could it be possible to have an option to inhibit display blanking in Now Playing?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 
It is easily achievable by using Simple Brightness Applet. Do we really need to copy this feature into OMP?

Well I suggested this.
If you wish to only have blanking inhibit with the media player, you will have to toggle this on and off as required; which is a pain.

I also recommended sticking a BH-214 to his dashboard. I see no reason not to ask, a few applcations have this option.

The reason is he would like to be able to see the Now Playing screen while driving, this avoids the extra tapping the screen to wake it up for skipping tracks, checking artist, etc.

I suppose it could be an useful option for car view.

i think atm it is implemented; the playlist can be viewed in car view mode when you wipe from right to left and it stays.
(just a suggestion ;) )

is FM boost app still needed if i have OMP installed? does OMP boost the transmitter automatically?

OMP doesn't boost but AFAIK KP does make FM Boost obsolete.
Although for larger range transmitter you need the modified FMTX.

Estel 2012-08-26 04:01

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 
Nope, and additionally, modified fmtx binary doesn't have anything to do with transmission range. It allows, hoever, to broadcast on full frequency range (that is what sixwheeledbeast had in mind, probably), i.e. from 76 MHz to 107,95 MHz.

Modified fmtx binary was prepared by jacekowski, and is available on his website (google for that). If You run into problems finding it, jacekowski himself is often hanging on #maemo IRC channel.

// Edit

In any case, it have nothing to do with OMP :)

Is there any way through which we can play videos in almost all formats just like kmplayer in this omp ?

Estel 2012-08-29 23:09

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 
MAFW. If MAFW can play it, openmediaplayer will do. But integration in MAFW is off-topic here.

two minor glitches:

1. if you start music from the desktop widget and them open OMP using widget, the playback is stopped.

2. search a song in songs list by using the keyboard, play that song, go back to to songs to search for another one - the focus is not on the text input field, you need to click it.

BUT you could link to a file or folder on that FAT32 partition from your ext3-partition!

That should mostly work, but OMP doesn't strip special characters when creating lyrics files, so for example songs with '?' in title won't be saved on FAT32.

Unfortunately this is not simply a matter of calling pause() in an inappropriate place. I wanted to write only a few word of comment, but something slightly bigger came out, so skip to the last paragraph if you don't care about the details. ;)

An application which makes use of libplayback, but does not do the actual playback, is supposed to provide the PID of the real thing. However, it looks like neither the widget nor the stock player does it (nor OMP, because it doesn't make much sense if it was the only application to behave peoperly) and that might be the cause.

What happens is that OMP initializes libplayback to the playing state, the widget receives the information that some other application wants to play something, and as a result it pauses the music.

It doesn't happen with the stock player, because it does not request the playing state if it is started with music already playing. It can be observed by playing something in a libplayback-unaware player, starting Nokia's player and receiving a message -- instead of a silent *beep*, you'll get the usual sound and music interruption. OMP behaves differently: there should be only *beep* whenever it is open, no matter what happened before.

If the playback manager makes a good use of provided foreign PIDs, than the cleanest approach would be to rewrite the widget, but I still have to test it and I don't know if I'd have enough time for another project.

Doing what the stock player does wouldn't play well with "Do nothing" set as the exit action or Nicolai's widget, but fortunately the stock widget appears to send different things on D-Bus when there's playback going on, so I'll try to make a use of that.

Until it's fixed, you can disable "Prevent playback interruptions" as a quick workaround.

WIth fingers already on the keyboard, pressing Fn instead seems fast and convenient to me. If I made this automatic, quickly going a few windows back by using Backspace would be impossible and I don't think it's a good trade-off.

Use Mussorgsky

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 
One thing I noticed today was that settings for the headset are only updated when the headset is removed and then reinserted.

Example:-

I normally have "prevent playback interruptions" as "always" and "Headset button" as "Do Nothing".
Upon inserting my new WH-205 I pressed the button forgetting I had this disabled, due to the libplayback issue.
I changed the settings to "Never" and "Skip track" respectively, the button didn't work, until I removed and re-inserted the headset.

Is this the expected outcome?

But if I play the album the thumbnail is there.

I can confirm this, also locks now playing out until restart.

I did more tests and I think it's impossible to get this to work nicely without rewriting the widget. Using widget's PID when interacting with libplayback does not help anything, but that's not the worst problem. The widget declares that it finished playing only if you press its pause button, not even when the playlist ends. What it means is that whatever happens, unless you press widget's pause button, sooner or later you will encounter a situation in which you have to press the play button one extra time. It is perhaps possible to monitor D-Bus for widget's activity and use the collected information to decide when to take over, but I think it's too much effort to only please the desktop widget.

Instead, I have added an option to act in a way similar to the stock player ("Compatible" method) and it's enabled by default, because it can be disputable which behavior is better. "Reliable" method is what was in the previous version and it is called that way because it doesn't silence notifications based on presses of the play button, but on the actual playing state, so it doesn't get confused even if you change the state using another application while OMP is open. Although "Reliable" will cause the music to be stopped after clicking the stock widget, it should be less of a pain with today's update, because Now Playing will be opened, like in the stock player.

That said, it might be a good moment to list all changes for today's update.
  • Dropped the hack behind "Headset button action" at the cost of making this feature CSSU-only, but then it works also with "Prevent playback interruptions".
  • Added an option to choose a method of silencing notifications.
  • Added Dark Lyrics plugin.
  • Fixed UTF-8 in AZLyrics plugin.
  • Fixed problems with opening some streams.
  • Improved feedback when opening streams by bouncing the buffering bar.
  • Fixed outdated buffering info sometimes being shown after changing a station.
  • Prevented detached and dead windows from appearing when activating the playback indicator and something else shortly thereafter.
  • open_mp_now_playing_playback_on and open_mp_radio_playing_playback_on (used by the desktop widget) open the appropriate window.
  • Added the missing shortcut to close the album art menu.
  • Optified the package with debugging symbols.
  • Updated translations.

From now on, if you want to use "Headset button action", you need policy-settings-rx51 modified by Pali, which also remedies issues with "Prevent playback interruptions" enabled at the same time. policy-settings-rx51 0.4.10.8+0m5 is a part of CSSU T-maemo5, but if you don't want to install/update CSSU, installing the package from http://repository.maemo.org/communit...settings-rx51/ manually might also work.



Edit: Clicked the submit button too soon. ;)

With "Prevent playback interruptions" skipping worked that way and pause/resume was completely broken. With latest OMP and CSSU there shouldn't be any problems.

But if I play the album the thumbnail is there.

If the files are not named "cover.jpg", Tracker won't pick them up. If you play a song without a cover, OMP looks by itself for "cover.jpg" (in case Tracker failed for some reason or the cover was removed from the cache), "front.jpg" and "folder.jpg". Hopefully it explains what's going on.

Hmm, strange.
I use the method to include the cover in the MP3-File it self with with an application called MP3tag.
A few days I added 10 albums and some albums have thumbnail in the Albums-meny and some dont for no particula reason.
The are all .jpg, ~100kb and from 500x500 to 700x700.

There havnt been any problem with this before since a few updates ago.

Ah, I forgot about embedded art. I tried that today with a few songs, but there was nothing out of ordinary, all covers were available within a minute since SFTP'ing them to the phone. Maybe I'll also perform a more extensive later.

If album art for some songs does not appear even after playing them, does resetting help? (Press and hold the image in Now Playing to show a menu with that option.)

Does the stock player have any problems?

If you think it's a regression, you could try with an older version from http://maemo.org/packages/view/openmediaplayer/. If downloadable packages are not old enough, I can provide even more dated debs, just tell me which version you want.


End of a weekend is a good time to dump changes from git to the repository, so here comes another release. :)
  • Added an option to zoom videos to fit the screen.
  • Moved "Continuous video playback" option to the video window.
  • Slightly refined the appearance of already existing elements of the video window.
  • Eliminated the delay between pressing a key and starting searching.
  • Searching does not cause jumping to the middle of a list.
  • Volume buttons use icons from the active theme.
  • Added the missing animation frame in the playback indicator.
  • Updated translations.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 
Woot! This is awsome. I'm using my n900 to review video lectures and often have to pause to take a note. The simple overlay no longer obscures slide text. Perfect!

One feature I'd very much like to see is a 5 sec. rewind keyboard shortcut. Sort of like the Tivo DVR. Just a quick rewinder to queue back to a certain spot. Very useful for those video lectures.

//EDIT OH! "seek" is what you call it! 10 seconds using left and right arrow keys will do the trick, too!

Great job.
