Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

Hi @MohammadAG !

Some times when I open video files from microb( I use option "Open with media player") the Open media player says File format not supported...
Can you take a look at this? thanks :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

It seems that file format you're trying to play is... Yes, you guessed it right, it's not supported! (By MAFW).

Yeah that strech video option will be very usefull if possible please add these features @gidzzz

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

I HATE video that is stretched to an aspect ratio that is not the one it was recorded in.

When I go to friends' places with a 16X9 TV where they've stretched a 4x3 program out to fill the screen, I want to throw the TV out the window and call the arsonists to burn down their home.

Yeah for some videos i myself obiviously wont enable it on every video, just on some which are boxed at center and some others. Anyways, you can always "not enable it" if you dont want it, thats why its good as a option.

Not going to invite you for watching movies anymore, sorry :(

Seriously though, I also don't see a point in stretching video without respect to aspect ratio... But, it is possible to achieve and requested from time to time, and we have spare space near the "zoom" button, so, why not?

Also, in some veeery rare cases, where video is converted with unusual pixel ratio (don't confuse with overall aspect ratio) and our player isn't recognizing embedded tags for it/tags are missing, video may be distorted when watched regularly, and "stretching" it may actually bring it closer to proper aspect ratio.

So, can never have too much features, as long as they're not mandatory to use ;)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

I'm opening a playlist with the file manager, it's just a file, each line of which is the full pathname of an mp3 file. OMP is playing them as Internet Radio stations, so I can't tap the picture of the globe to switch view modes from current playing to full playlist.

Any idea why this is happening? It didn't always work like this, it used to open playlists as a list of songs instead of Internet Radio stations. Sorry if my terminology is messed up, please let me know if clarification or screenshots are needed. This is version 20140326.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

will OMP support *.lrc ? refer to the mediabox

Mafw library has function for enabling/disabling logging at runtime, see: http://maemo.org/api_refs/5.0/5.0-fi...w-Logging.html

And nokia media player is using it:

Code:

$ strings /usr/bin/mediaplayer.launch  | grep mafw_log_init

mafw_log_init

mafw_log_init:done

But OMP not.

@freemangordon, @gidzzz: Can you look at it? We can at least reduce useless logs in syslog. Maybe looking into nokia mediaplayer.launch binary and check which which arguments it calling it...

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

Hm... did you know about example mafw application?

Here is relevant code:

Code:

   154d8:        fffe7ee8                         ; <UNDEFINED> instruction: 0xfffe7ee8

So it calling mafw_log_init(NULL) too:

Code:

   1543c:        e3a00000         mov        r0, #0

   15440:        ebfff781         bl        1324c <mafw_log_init@plt>

So I think we can add mafw_log_init(NULL) to OMP player/main.cpp too and this fix syslog flooding...

@gidzzz: Can you recheck if OMP doing same mafw initialization as above mafw example from SDK?

I do not have plans for that at the moment, but I do not have anything against it appearing in OMP either.

I have uploaded an update (20140418-1) with a bunch of changes from Pali:

Do not output MAFW messages to syslog.
Fixed a typo and updated the Slovak translation.
A few other changes under the hood.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

when checking autofit there is a bluish color , how about this?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

Latest version is working great! Thanks to gidzzz an pali!

Cpu load is really low and all the syslog flood has disappeared.

Also the "unsupported codec" message or the infinite wait before video playback has been completely solved with the stupid wrapper from post
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...postcount=1563

So, now all the video playback troubles are only due to the mafw-gst-renderer eating memory and hanging in an uknown "mumble state".

In fact the mafw-gst-renderer sources contain a section where it tries to detect video details (res, codec..) but any syslog reporting of this data is disabled..(this follows the general rule: any unuseful info is logged while all important details are not reported anywhere)

I have one little personal issue with OMP:
Music - All songs - Select a song from all the songs in alphabetic order typing part of song name - play

While playing the song i searched for, i would expect a way to play the other songs from the same album (since it shows also the album picture) but it seems there is no way to do it and you can only go back to the complete alphabetic list. (often i remember a song but not the album)
After this, if you have more albums with the same song, searching for a song an leaving it playing you obtain OMP playing 3 times (for example) the same song while the default behavior should be playing something related to the searched song but not 3 times the same.

Is it fixable? If yes, maybe CSSU could include updated where useful logging is enabled?

Also - considering that we won't (probably) see a possibility to fix mafw-gst-renderer anytime soon, maybe your method of using a small script linking to openmediaplayer binary, that kills mafw-gst-renderer before and after operation, should be incorporated in OMP releases? It's "ugly", but working fine, and the best thing we can have now, I guess.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

@gidzzz

one more request.
Since many things are changing into internet radios and search directories (see shoutcast) with the result that many internet radio bookmarks are not valid anymore, we are forced to search again our preferred streams to add them again with the usual tedious copy-paste steps. (...IF we can load that pages filled with javascript into our old mobile browser)

I would ask if it would be possible to add a search button to pass a search string to an external module or script that would give as result the link to the stream to be added to the bookmarks list (and eventually a load button to import a proper csv).

With this rough approach, we can find an easy solution to a problem with something that will be easy to fix/develop/customize in the future to follow new internet radios search directories.

An example of search script to start play with:

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

I know this is totally unnecessary but I was using my old n79 the other day and was wondering if scrolling lyrics could be implemented as well as a floating widget/application that displays the lyrics when you switch to other applications..kinda like how ttpod does it..it was quite cool

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

What the Mediaplayer has long wanted was a method of editing the order of tracks in playlists. Any chance of that being added to OMP?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

@TomJ
Probably this is the cause:
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6295

Anyway, it would be nice to have it fixed!

Another point is about tracks without any id3...
At this moment i can't see these tracks listed in OMP.

I can open the tracks with filemanager and listen with OMP that shows the complete filename... but i CAN'T find them listed as "no name" or "no artist" in the track list.

Could someone confirm this behavior?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

I have an issue with some tracks not having their information detected, instead being displayed as Unknown Artist - Unknown Album. Its sometime solved by rebuilding database/resetting tracker

In most cases its a single track from an entire album. If I get a chance I'll upload a mediainfo summary of an example track.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

Yes, above bug (sort by disc number) is really annoying for multidisc albums...

To turn either on from the Now Playing screens takes a minimum of 4 taps (3 if you have relevant desktop widgets, but a further 2 are then needed to get back to Now Playing); would it be possible to add simple on/off buttons for BT and FM on any or all of the Now Playing windows?

Probably this is the cause:

Anyway, it would be nice to have it fixed!

I don't see how that could be the cause; it relates to how tracks are displayed from the reading of their ID3 tags, whereas playlist creation seems to generate a simple text file in ~/mafw-playlists

(I say seems to be, as I've tries hand editing the files to chage playlist order, but OMP sticks resolutely with the original order.)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

(~OT) To check the id3 tags of mp3 and flac files, we need a proper tool.

eyed3 0.6.18 Just uploaded in autobuilder, should be available soon.

EDIT:
And the right sqlite command to show track's index:

sqlite3 /home/user/.cache/tracker/file-meta.db "SELECT ID, Path, Name, KeyMetadata1, KeyMetadata4 FROM Services WHERE Mime LIKE \"audio/%\" AND KeyMetadata1 != '' AND KeyMetadata4 != ''"

Yes, but if i'm not wrong it can't change the tags.
eyeD3 can change them and is easy to use to fix or tweak a bunch of files with a script.

IIRC, python-mutagen can also be used.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

Another future request: support for plugins. Stock nokia media player has support for them. There is e.g grilo plugin for filesystem access...

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

Is it possible to add '"video lock" feature for this app, it could be very convenient to have it in drop-down menu?
Thanks in advance.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

The lyrics.wikia.com algorithm malfunctions with artists with cyrillic names. For this track the lyrics can't be downloaded:

artist: Эпидемия
album: Дорога Домой
track: Феникс

The link is: http://lyrics.wikia.com/%D0%AD%D0%BF...B8%D0%BA%D1%81

It might be difficult to create an algorithm to handle this [1] doesn't have the latin alphabet part, [2] is case insensitive. And this is just a quick search. Although http://lyrics.wikia.com/Эпидемия redirects to the part with latin alphabet, the subpages don't. Maybe it'd be a good idea to allow users to override tags just for the lyrics download? It's quite serious, because OMP lyrics download is useless when it comes to Russian-named artists.

[1] http://lyrics.wikia.com/%D0%9B%D0%B5...BD%D0%B0%D1%8F
[2] http://lyrics.wikia.com/%D0%90%D0%BB...BC%D0%BB%D1%8F

PS. I did report this to Lyrics Wiki, but overriding metadata would be a very useful request, e.g. for titles like "$SONG_TITLE (Live)"

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

I've encountered a small issue with Internet radio streams handling. Every one need to be saved as "video", or it will won't work - even if we're talking about audio-only ones. The radio starts like video (black screen, etc), then moves to audio-only - if you pause it and try to resume, it won't work, again (due to being in audio-only mode, probably), and require being started as "video" one again, from scratch.

Cheers,

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

gidzzz, can you please state your attitude towards http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...postcount=1637 this bug? Is its state "please give me time", "won't fix", "I don't care" or whatever?

Btw. one of the other algorithms seems to go crazy recently. For example downloaded lyrics for "Skid Row - Monkey Business" start with

Code:

);var c=function(){cf.showAsyncAd(opts)};if(window.cfc();else{cf_async=!0; var r=document.createElement("script"),s=document.get

My providers order is: LyricWiki, DarkLyrics, AZLyrics, ChartLyrics

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

I have not looked into it yet, because I was quite busy for the last few months and it did not sound that serious to me, but finally this month I am planning to give OMP some love.
