Re: Kagu Media Player Released 1.0.6
 

Thank you very much. That's a bug and I've opened a ticket for it: https://www.guardiani.us/projects/kagu/ticket/99

I'll make sure it's fixed in the next release.

BTW, we probably won't be doing a release today. We're looking to slow down release schedules to be bi-weekly instead of weekly, so expect the next release around the 2nd. Check the roadmap for our progress: https://www.guardiani.us/projects/kagu/roadmap

Re: Kagu Media Player Released 1.0.6
 

First of all i want to congratulate your team for your wonderful app. I have got everything working and i am streaming internet radio through ad2p via mplayer . My question is is there any way i can make a playlist of 5 or so internet streams in mplayer and toggle the playlist with the next button on the bluetooth headset?? Well if it cannot be done atleast tell me how i can make a playlist of internet streams in mplayer . Thank you for everything!!

Re: Kagu Media Player Released 1.0.6
 

Sorry, Kagu currently doesn't support internet streams in the playlist yet.

Re: Kagu Media Player Released 1.0.6
 

disq,
thank you for your clarifications on how to use the playlist!
it seems to me Kagu is at a point where one would need a short "user manual", explaining the icons and the various functions they fullfill depending on the context... especially if you change the behaviour of the icons from one update to the next, the userwe already using the app are a bit lost...

My wishes for 1.0.7 as a hardcore KAGU user:
- please show the playback-buttons already when you first go into an album as it was up to 1.0.4 (at the moment the playback/pause/skip buttons on the right side are not visible when you simply select an album and did not touch CD+ to create a playlist)
- fullscreen-button as in all the other MAEMO apps (on top of the N800, not the "list" button) the usual full-screen button works as Start/stop at the moment, but I did not find out until some days ago... who is using this button???

Re: Kagu Media Player Released 1.0.6
 

I think the "Maemo Way" is to make a short video detailing functionality. Unfortunately, I don't own a video camera. Anyone from the community would be welcome to do this for us.


Hmmm... I don't understand this request. Could you elaborate? What would the playback buttons do when nothing is in the playlist?


I use it as it's quite handy to pause/play. This is how Canola does it also, BTW. Where would you have us put pause/play if not there?

The current plan is to keep pause/play where it is and make the menu button pull up a root menu consisting of "Albums (this is the current view), Artists, Genres, All Songs" and some additional functionality like "Minimize/Maximize, Turn Off Screen"

Re: Kagu Media Player Released 1.0.6
 

Actually, I just finished implementing Menu, Artists, and All Songs views today. I also moved the fullscreen toggle to an OSD button in the menu and changed the hardware button to pull up the menu.

We had a lot of requests for the All Songs view. If anyone would like to beta test this functionality, please feel free to follow the instructions in the Development Snapshot section of our wiki page. It's a mostly painless process. No compiling necessary. Just follow the instructions on the wiki.

Re: Kagu Media Player Released 1.0.6
 

I need this too, I'm afraid that I really can't make sense out of this app. I can't get it to play a single track. I have reasonable experience of media playing apps, for example UKMP performs flawlessly but Kagu is just not at all intuitive to my particular brain hardwiring. Sorry.

Re: Kagu Media Player Released 1.0.6
 

Seems to run OK. I am a little puzzle by the playlist icon and how to use it, maybe the time has come for a little info on howto use it. Zoom album function is "dead on"! You have Toggle Fullscreen as part of the menu, what about making an icon for that function and putting it on the left side of the screen in line with speaker?

Re: Kagu Media Player Released 1.0.6
 

I findI find that a little hard to believe considering that my 5 year old doesn't have any problems getting it to play music. You put music on the n800, scan it, start kagu, tap an album, tap a song, and it plays. Maybe you could describe what you're trying to do and which part of that process is failing?

Re: Kagu Media Player Released 1.0.6
 

I assume you mean the CD+ icon. It's pretty simple. It adds whatever is in the current list of songs to the playlist. I might be changing the look of this icon in some places before 1.0.7 as "CD" doesn't really have any meaning from the "all songs" view (new in the upcoming release).

Yeah, I could. I could also put the (not yet coded) "turn screen off" button there. Honestly, I'm not sure what to do with that spot long term. It's a rather odd location.
