I couldn't find a thread about this excellent app so here it is. :D

I use my N900 as a video player very often and this app is the best gui for me.
But the latest 0.1-2 update changed so I had some questions to the developer...

1. Can it have kinetic scrolling? or at least keyboard scrolling?
2. The latest version plays the video straight away when clicked. (just resumes) I much prefer the original method of having a choice to start from beginning or resume. Was wondering why this was changed?
3. Would it be possible to have an option to sort the videos by name and/or last modified/created date?

btw. Now there is a 0.2-1 update.
It's now back to 0.1-1 original behaviour for start/resume.
Also, it has kinetic scrolling!
Did the developer see this thread? :p

Don't like it starts right away as well, feel its playing videos better with this version or maybe its the new FW Update, who knows?

Same here!!!

There is always a possibility that the developer changed the mplayer launch parameters or something. (just guessing)

NEW UPDATE:
btw. Now there is a 0.2-1 update.
It's now back to 0.1-1 original behaviour for start/resume.
Also, it has kinetic scrolling!
Did the developer see this thread? :p

I would love to know the full change log.. :)

Re: SiB - mplayer gui frontend
 

Yes, I commited a new version (0.0.2) of SiB yesterday, with support for kinetic scrolling. Also the issue where the video started right after single-clicking a file should be fixed now. And the UI should look a bit better now.

Problem magically solved... (before the big update)

Re: SiB - mplayer gui frontend
 

Could you try to remove the previous version of qt4.6 manually and then reinstall sib? Also, which firmware version are you using?

Re: SiB - mplayer gui frontend
 

Thank you. It's now much better. :)

Now to top it off, it would be great to have a sort function in the list. (By name, modified time, size etc) :D

Re: SiB - mplayer gui frontend
 

Btw, is there something that can be done to fix mplayer's issue with pan & scan function? If you try to "zoom" in to video with W & E -keys the picture somehow scales right but not all colours. Some colours are left without scaling and it makes the video look very weird.
