So is that an app, or just a mockup?

Another nice theme, btw.

Re: Audio: YAMP Yet Another Media Player
 

well, Gstreamer is there and pressing the stop/play/ffwd, rewind, scrubbing bar and volume works: this make it a working app? Not really :), If Ill be able to do something cute Ill upload it and decide if keep it up: like I said I dont think another mp3 player is a big priority on the tablet, just another excuse for me to study a bit the platform.
thank for drop a note anyway :)

Looks slick!

Re: Audio: YAMP Yet Another Media Player
 

Looks nice. I just wonder if the name might get confused with the existing YouAmp app.

Re: Audio: YAMP Yet Another Media Player
 

Well, damn, why don't you throw that baby up here? If you make it as slick and pretty as your clock, then I'll use this media player :D

Thanks for sharing, btw :)

Re: Audio: YAMP Yet Another Media Player
 

I agree, looks awesome!

Re: Audio: YAMP Yet Another Media Player
 

YOOOOOO!!! That flip clock is the BOMB!!

THIS will be on when I go to bed at night. no doubt!!!

Re: Audio: YAMP Yet Another Media Player
 

the one thing i dont like about youamp is its inability to be pointed at a random file.

lets just say i hate these overly clever, auto-scanning library thingies ;)

Re: Audio: YAMP Yet Another Media Player
 

Oh sorry for the confusion :) I still didnt decide if the thing deserve a name: I just wanted a frontend for gstreamer ( I like how fast Gstreamer 'scrub' and I need for biga** podcast files) then like usual the things evolve a bit.
Since the application was not suppose to go 'in the wild' the name was just 'AUDIO' because would be the only audio player on my tablet but since the 'teaser pics' had a couple of nice comments now we need a name: any idea?
something italian like 'mammamiaplayer'?

Well, Im no good to judge my own works that's why I share them here, there is always someone nice enough to waste a bit of time to test and leave a comment :)
Anyway now the thing is begining to take a 'shape' and I guess I can upload something

too kind of you... :)


lol, I hope will not decide to ring in the middle of the night.



100% agree. This 'player' is another itch of mine: an application should start as fast as possible and be
always reactive and 'sensefull' (even more on a tablet).
Im my mind the thing should have 2 different 'playmodes':
one directly from the directory browsing (if I want play something on the fly, maybe something I just downloaded in some weird directory)
and one like a more classic player but with the scrubbing bar and the volume always handy. Ill see how I can manage the playlists
and multiple playing: I suppose the 1st step will be to play everything inside the directory and maybe automagically go down
trough the path. We'll see.

thanks everyone for the comments

k, end of the late night saturday session: seem the 4.00 am saturday release is becaming a tradition...
https://garage.maemo.org/frs/downloa...05/ap0.0.4.tgz
Python 2.5, pygame 1.7 and easy:
http://easy.garage.maemo.org/
I know, installing another 'lib' is a pain but 'easy' is small (just little python modules) and really handy to access the tablet functions: I used to call gstreamer 'by hand' and is simply a pain in the neck...

very 1st 'thing' out: like usual noone should use this for any reason anytime.
What the program do:
let the user go up and down trough the current directory no up or down trough the path, just the current dir.
Im testing the keyboard this time (Ill probably put the slide up and down screen movement later): I wish to keep on board the N800 but I dont know exactly the key mappings so Ill do some test with N800 owners.
Now It use the keypad up and down and the relative button ('return' for pygame[??]) to start the player and pause; space to stop the song (I know could sound stupid but is sorta usefull for me to use same key for pause and start). The screen buttons should still work from the previous version but I didnt test it too much
what the program dont:
regular player mode with the scrub, volume and coverart.
no portrait mode
no browsing trough directories
no playlists
no albums
no tage
nothing out of .mp3
(I know gstreamer can play more but I want keep simple now that the app is just taking the 1st breaths

Buona Domenica e felice Marzo a tutti...
