Well, I stopped trying to get it running. The stock Qt version is too buggy to get the C++ backend working correctly with the QML frontend in QuasarMX. The CSSU I had installed on my N900 had a similar problem. Perhaps the newer version work okay.

See last paragraph here for details: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...1&postcount=63

As soon as I have the update finished and published, I'll try to look into this N900 port again.

Can you perhaps send me a sample file? If you want, just send it to quasarmx@katastrophos.net, large files are okay.
Perhaps I can get it fixed in the upcoming update.
Thanks.

Re: QuasarMX - Awesome music player!
 
I am eagerly awaiting that update :)

One thing which came to my mind:
I would be great to have some kind of multi selection feature in the playlist, something like Filebox has. This would make managing playlists much easier. The workaround you suggested for stopping after a certain song seems quite inconvenient at the moment.

Hi All,

I have a silly question but, how do i update the music library? I uploaded some music but they don't appear in the collection. The stock player does this automatically. What am i missing?

Thanks,

me

Macros 2013-02-23 12:40

Re: QuasarMX - Awesome music player!
 
That's quite simple:
Go to the first tab (upper left corner)
Open the menu (lower right)
Select "Current Playlist" and
"Rescan Folders"

Having a huge collection its quite convenient that QuasarMX doesn't scan it every time it starts up. But maybe an by default enabled option to do so would be good as that confused me too when I started using it.

Re: QuasarMX - Awesome music player!
 
Thanks for this nice update. One thing i've noticed which is less nice: if for instance you have lyrics downloaded that you can read, if you lose internet connection, you lose the lyrics you had...
Thanks again, a must-have software

Thank you for the continued development of this application.

No features I would like to see made it into this version but I like the reduced power consuumption very much. In rare occasions i feel the urge to grab some music and venture into the night. Now the music lasts longer :)

Re: QuasarMX - Awesome music player!
 
how can i save a custom equalizer profile?

Mr.Pancake 2013-05-12 20:35

Is there a way to actually save the lyrics into a file our at least somewhere else so you wouldn't need a constant internet connection? I think I saw that when I was using AIMP, there was an option to insert and save lyrics. When you lose internet connection the lyrics disappear as well, that's not really cool. More pre-installed equalizer profiles would be great as well.

Keep up the good work.

@eviljazz,

Is there a way to get QuasarMX to display id tags/artist/song title/album title/ album cover photo data over bluetooth? For instance if I sync my N9 over bluetooth to my car stereo and use it for playing music, then that info/album cover art will show up on the radio itself. Thank you.

Came here to post the exact same thing. Supposedly the stereo supports it for Android and I assume since it's a BT specification, the N9 could do it too.

The current version of the BlueZ Bluetooth stack used on the N9 does not implement the specification that is required for this kind of functionality, namely AVRCP 1.3. The version installed on the N9 is 4.91. AVRCP 1.3 is implemented since 4.97 AFAIK.

There are two possible solutions:
1. Updating BlueZ via a CSSU
2. Investigating if sending raw data packets to the controller via BlueZ's pass-through mode is possible and feasible.

Debugging Bluetooth can be time-consuming and really aggravating. I had a similar problem on Symbian trying to implement this functionality using the Symbian Bluetooth API and I already sunk 2 days of work and debugging into it to absolutely no avail, which is kind of depressing.

I will see if I can spend another round of free time on one of the two options here. This will probably happen after the next bugfix and feature release.

Currently not possible, but I am working on improving the UI of the Sound tab and custom presets is on my list of things to implement.

Lyrics are being cached in a SQLite database, however it seems the current version does not probably keep the lyrics available when the internet connection is lost. I have to fix that.
The whole lyrics add-on will be replaced at one point in the future to avoid the whole legal situation (see Apollo Music Player on Android for reference).

Thank you as well. I'd be willing to throw some coin your way for future BT efforts with Quasar and in general.
Also, if you need some help testing, be sure to send a p/m my way. I would love to be able to help code but I'm not even at a point to start learning unfortunately.

Re: QuasarMX - Awesome music player!
 
Hi evilJazz,
I'm giving the free version of this app a whirl, I like the feature set a lot and I may purchase it.

I have a question regarding the playlist view and sorting. I manually tag all of my music on a computer with the program Mp3tag. I noticed that on an album that is tagged as 2 discs, the order in QuasarMX goes disc 1 track 1, disc 2 track 1, disc 1 track 2, disc 2 track 2 and so on. Would it be possible for you to implement a way for all tracks tagged as disc number 2 to appear after disc number 1's tracks?

Also, it seems like the audio has a tendency to skip when I'm using the Nokia web browser and QuasarMX at the same time. Is this normal? I currently don't have any modifications installer other than FasterN9, and I don't recall having any background applications open other than Wazapp.

Yes, this is a problem currently. The disc number tag is not read from the files, so QuasarMX is only sorting by track number. I'll look into it.

The audio skipping is caused by FasterN9. QuasarMX was not on the list of prioritized apps (all media apps). This problem has been resolved in the latest release 1.1.5 of FasterN9. Please update.

Hello evilJazz,
the equalizer settings impact also on the "other side" voice rendering through the N9 earpiece?
Besides being a great app, QuasarMX would also solve my problems for the low quality voice rendering (now it has a tinny sound)
Thanks

Yeah, sorry. I thought it was a good idea to provide some machine-translated strings as starting point. An Ukrainian colleague told me around 60% of it are complete and utter BS. I guess Bing has to improve the engine a bit. :)

Haha, that explains it.
Yeah, the translating engines aren't the greatest but can give you a good starting point. I've already asked for Kroll's help in some of the more technical terms because I haven't studied much of the technological jargon (more oriented towards everyday words, etc.)

Thanks for the starting point though. We might just be able to clean them up a bit and be good. The real chore is just getting it all in cyrillic honestly. Thankfully there's translit.ru.
