Re: [port] Quasar : iTunes like Media Player
 

Sorry, can't help here since I do not own a Nokia device. Could debug all issues named here if anybody is willing to buy me a device. ;)

Care to elaborate? What exactly is slow? Downloading the cover art images or just searching for the cover art?

What you are using seems to be normal static playlists. This behavior is by design.
Instead use the dynamic playlist feature and add your directory. Then every time you add new files to that directory, just do a rescan via the Tools menu.

The stuff works on all other platforms I am supporting (Zaurus, Windows, OS X). I really wish I would be able to help here...
Perhaps t_moyashi can compile another build with full debug enabled in debug.h.
That might help tracking down some of the things if I get enough reports...
Thanks again for checking out Quasar and thanks t_moyashi for providing the build.

I installed quasar to N900, and it works well

Installation, this thread #65

I used the version on thread #1

It installed without any complaint, used up 5 MB of the precious /rootfs

It runs and does more or less like it runs on my N8x0, almost everything works, including the HW volume buttons :-)

Problems:
1) Cannot save playlist, no onscreen keyboard and HW keyboard brings up contact list.
2) Mplayer stopped when surfing web

Hope you still putting in effort on this player, one of my favorite. Thanks, t_moyashi and evilJazz

Quasar Media Player 0.96r188r31-maemo1 is now available in Extras-devel(diablo/Multimedia section).

Re: [port] Quasar : iTunes like Media Player
 

Thanks for the feedback on the N900.
I might have some cool news for you soon. :)

Re: [port] Quasar : iTunes like Media Player
 

Just a short update: I am in the process of porting Quasar Media Player from Qt 2/3 to Qt 4. This will add support for Maemo 5 (and earlier) and should improve the usability and offer the Maemo look and feel.
The port is a lot of work, so it might take a while to get it finished but I am hopeful. It is already working for the most part on my Mac, however not on my N900...
The Qt 4.6 version that is available for the N900 and the other internet tablets does not include the Qt3Support lib. I can understand why they do not include this support. Either way, I am taking the hard way of porting completely to Qt 4 without the compatibility and legacy support.

Great work, t_moyashi!
Can you do something with search area in portrait mode? 'cause I can't reach it.

Re: [port] Quasar : iTunes like Media Player
 

I've installed this tonight, mainly cos I'm sick of Canola crashing everywhere lately, and the built in player is functional at best, and I have to say that I like it.

Only comment would be that I think that the standard interface is a bit busy for a 4" touchscreen, and could so with a few less buttons etc.

I particulary like the coverflow - how do you toggle between full screen views of the cover-flow, playinfo, and the playlist screens. I would like to see an option to start full screen by default, and use the "full screen" button to move between the screens above. there probably is a way that I haven't found yet!!

I also like the playinfo screen - very nice.

thanks and keep up the good work
