Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

omp is a goog media player.
but it will be great with some features-
1.file system plugin (so we can play music from folder)
2.metadata editor (most of free music downloaded from internet comes with wrong detail about album name artist and track name.) it will be helpful for fetching correct lyrics.

thanks for this app.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

If you edit the default media player (details in the wiki) you can use any file manager to open files.
Use MussOrgSky

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

It works only for the subfolder of the song you open and it replaces actual playlist. I would like to be able to add a whole discography or several folders to the playlist. And I hate that a program only let me to use tags. I could live without tags, but not without folders (that is a reason for not wanting an Iphone XD). I have well tagged MOST of my songs, but I prefer to manage them as folders and files. I have ALL my 90Gb of music correctly organized and named on this way "Nightwish/2011-Imaginaerum/01 Taikatalvi.ogg".

For me, this is the best player for N900 except for that.
Maybe some of us who want that function could give some donations to who do it, so although it seems a hard work, he/she could be more motivated to make it real :) What do you think?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

OMP is just a media player, I'd prefer it not to do anything requiring superuser privileges.


I don't know how to fix it yet or if that's even possible with Qt, but I'll try a few things.


I'm afraid there's not much that can be done in this matter. Saved playlists could be loaded faster if I increased the chunk size, but gettings metadata in bigger chunks also means longer waiting time for each chunk to arrive, so if you scrolled to the middle of an unfinished playlist, it would take longer for the items to appear there.


1. Just like the equalizer, it's not OMP's job -- it needs support in MAFW.
2. I think it's doable, but there's already an external solution: http://maemo.org/packages/view/mafw-...titles-applet/


I can't reproduce it here and I have no idea how it is possible for now playing window to close itself like that. :eek:


It's possible that even though the editing of that file was done right, the stock player is still hanging around in the background and clinging to D-Bus. If that's the case, "killall mediaplayer" in the terminal should solve this kind of problems.


The first thing is indeed not in OMP, but the second is called "Append opened songs" in the settings and should be easier to use with the new opening dialog in today's update. I've got a filesystem browser in my to-do since like forever, but I'm still not 100% sure if I want it in OMP, so I usually dedicate time to things on which I've got a more solid opinion.



Those last three months were terribly busy for me, so the amount of improvements is not quite proportional to the amount of time since the last update, but I'm happy that I have found a moment before the end of the world to release a new version. ;) As always, the changelog is below and the package in the repositories.

• Added a dialog that appears when the player is ordered to open a file and asks what to do with it.
• Fixed a problem with empty items appearing in now playing.
• Fixed a memory leak that progressed each time a list with shuffle button was opened.
• Fixed a crash caused by closing the radio now playing window just after opening it.
• Fixed the default album icon not showing up whan browsing artists of a genre.
• Fixed a rare infinite loop when trying to recover from MAFW's failure to start playback.
• Fixed funny behavior of the window manager after opening a file when a dialog window is visible.
• Cleanups in the settings window.
• More resonsive keyboard shortcuts in confirmation dialogs.
• Closing a window that was used to add songs to now playing does not interrupt the song adding operation.
• Updated translations.

...But wait, there's more! I have also prepared a Thumb / GCC 4.7.2 package. It's a few kilobytes too heavy to attach here, so grab it from there if you want to give it a whirl.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

Thanks for this thumb version !
Did you get in touch with freemangordon in order to include it in the CSSU-thumb repository ?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

I think it seems to have happened since setting my phone application to portrait only.
So if OMP is in Landscape the phone starts ringing in portrait.
When the call ends OMP has a moment and jumps backwards from Now playing to Playlists view.
Unfortunately it is intermittant, only 5-10% reproduction rate.

I'll see if I can get more information, if I can get it to happen again.

Thank you very much for your update.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

I always feel guilty asking about additional features for something which has already been relentlessly maintained AND improved, but:

Is there a command line for starting a specific playlist in OMP in shuffle?

Mental note: when the transition is stabilized, the OMP wiki needs to be updated with info about CLI starting in car view, etc.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

I've got a bluetooth Nokia BH 221 headset, and if I press next, OMP stops playing. So I can't use it with my BT headset. With the stock media player it works fine...

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

I've just dropped a question in the CSSU-thumb thread.


MAFW can be controlled through D-Bus to a great extent, but I don't think it's a one-, two- or three-liner in this case. Someone requested such thing before the latest update and I've added it to my to-do, but I decided to make a release before it's implemented. Maybe next time.


I don't have any Bluetooth headset at all, but we could try some debugging. Run the following:
and, when pressing the button, watch for:
"some-button-type" should be "next-song". Does it appear there and is it the only detected button?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

I experienced the dissappearing now playing bug too. Sadly enough I have no idea how it happened and why it happened. Just as vague as this is, no logs or whatever :(

In reaction to sixwheeledbeast: I have my phone application locked to landscape but I havent had a call for weeks...

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

No issues so far with the latest version.
I normally have more calls/media player action during work. As this is holiday season I'll start to monitor it over January.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

I think you misunderstood me a little bit. I experienced it today with the newest version ;) Maybe I wrote down in a bit unfortunate way...

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

Not having any issue with the thumb version. Feels smoother than non-thumb version. Thanks for the thumb version.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

openmedia player not opening up with latest cssu testing+thumb.

Thumb complied or standard OMP?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

thumb version.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

Include USB mode switch, it intergrates perfectly it looks and works like a real Nokia upgrade rather than a hack.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

Many thanks for Thumb version.

Encountered bug in it. Took call whilst playing music. After call, music didn't restart and pause/play button was unresponsive. Back button seemed to restore normal functionality.

However, in a subsequent call, I was unable to hang up.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

i have found another bug: When fast forwarding a video; OMP some time stuck's after forwarding for few seconds and you have to leave touch forward button in order to forward again. This doesn't happen in default media player.

and this also happens in latest thumb version and in 20120917 build.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

I have been running OMP in a terminal since I mentioned the issue again (post 1327).
This "Now Playing disappearing" happened again yesterday but fortunately while the screen was on and I was looking at it.

Nothing comes up in the terminal so there no debug information in text form.
However it happened when:-

*Receiving a text message with the screen unlocked and on after just sending a text. Only Terminal / OMP where running, display at the task switcher.

*I had just put the device down on a flat surface, it was starting to rotate to portrait from the text I just did in landscape.

*hildon-desktop restarted.



After the heavy CPU load of the hildon stuff restarting then the Now Playing menu jumped back to Artists.

I know there's a lot of irrelevant information here. I am trying to be as verbose as possible. It has never happened on a text before normally it's calls.

I have tested restarting h-h/h-d/h-s-m while OMP is open and cannot reproduce.

Hope this helps.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

Maybe setting the lyrics font in prefs?
EDIT: by saying font I meant all the font options (size, family, etc.) Especially size.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

could you plz add a "screenshot" button in video player? Its very important

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

Nice shot SM,
+1 for this idea and IMO it's still a missing required feature 3:)
i would really appreciate doing it, thanks

Happy new year developers and supporters of open media player

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

I updated the russian translation by wow23.

P.S. Translation updated and added openmediaplayer.qm file, for translation put this file into /opt/openmediaplayer/lang and replace existing.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

I find interesting bug - in some video files shows an inversion of colors (blue instead of yellow) - while in the standart media player on the same files all show normally.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

i usually find this bug when i check ''Fit'' in options while playing videos in some formats. Uncheck Fit option while playing videos; colors will be normal again.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

same here;)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

Same Here full screen problem. i thought it was only me

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

I'm facing the same problem with the ''reversed'' colours after checking FIT option - any solution to fix this one?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

Been happening on my N900 since hell knows when.
It's not a bug in OMP I'm afraid.
It happens in KMPlayer also depending which player you have selected in settings.

If OMP uses that same player then that's your answer.

Can't seem to replicate it at the moment, but it has happened in KMPlayer with videos that are already almost full screen. Tap the "+" and the video switches hues.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

Hi,

Thanks for your open media player. I'm using it since quite some time :)

Recently I noticed a bug/missing feature, though. I put an audio book on my N900, which consists of 19 disks. The files are saved as ogg-vorbis files with the following meta data:

• track title
• track number
• disk number

The problem is, that the media player seems to ignore the disk number. Thus the order is like disk 1, track 1 followed by disk 2, track 1, ...

-- Sebastian

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

This isn't to do with OMP.
A good way to prove this is to check for same with stock MP.
OMP is just a GUI for MAFW.

I have this trouble with multi-disc albums.
Workaround is to have separate folders for each disc.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

Does OMP support ReplayGain?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

Today all Thumbnails disappeared in Albums view. The thumbnail is visable in Now Playing.
I did a reboot to see if that helped, it did not.
I have done a Rebuild Database in Tracker-cfg and still no Thumbnails in Albums view.

Anything to do about that?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

Ok guys, I don't think this has been mentioned before.

It would be awesome if the next OMP update would include the full-volume "blip" sound of the N9's music player.

It would be kickass.
