It's certainly a good idea, but Qt buttons don't have this built-in, so it's not so straightforward (but hopefully doable).

It's quite possible that it will be either hidden or replaced with something more elegant, but I'll probably wait with it until I stop peeking at translations or do a makeover of the settings window.

Thanks for the nice find.

Look for "Continuous video playback" in the settings window (after downloading today's update). Managing video playlists is on my to-do, but in "just an idea" section for now.

Are the descriptions in the wiki (http://wiki.maemo.org/Open_Media_Player) clear enough?

Or is it side effect of tracker problems?
After reinstalling Extra Decoders Support and its dependencies (just Ogg Support might have been enough, but I didn't care to do it one-by-one) everything went back to normal and I can happily play .ogg and .flac. I think updating Tracker cleared some info about registered mime types (you can maybe confirm that by running "tracker-info path/to/file.ogg" and looking for contradictions, IIRC that helped me with the solution), so they had to be registered again.

I think OMP has nothing to do with it. The playback is probably broken because MAFW is thinking that you're trying to feed it a non-audio file (and the reason is Tracker's incomplete mime info).



Woohoo! I have an update ready and although the changelog might not look spectacular at the first glance, it's a very significant release, because (if I'm not mistaken) it marks the achievement of all important features of the stock media player. Of course, many things need to be polished, but It should be quite possible to live completely without the stock player from now on (but don't think about uninstalling it yet )
  • Added an option to prevent audio from being interrupted by sound notifications.
  • Added support for video stream bookmarks.
  • Added an option to keep playing further videos when the current one ends.
  • Properly rotate the bookmark dialog.
  • The bookmark button in radio "Now playing" works.
  • Fixed an untranslatable string.
  • New translation: Portuguese (Brazil) by VGs and saponga.
  • Updated translations.

The first listed feature is enabled by default, to imitate the stock player. It will make things like SMS and IM notifications emit only a quiet beep and the music will keep going, without nasty gaps. The behavior can be configured differently for locked and unlocked screen.

The second feature sounds very humble, but it's rather extensive, because it includes separating audio from video stations, a button in video "Now playing", changes to the bookmark editing window and so on.

There's also one important thing regarding video bookmarks: it's quite different from the stock player. Nokia's way is to throw all videos into the video browser, no matter if they're stored locally or if they're just bookmarked addresses of video streams. In OMP, however, video bookmarks are accessible through the radio browser. Excluding "shuffle all", there are only 3 icons in the main window, so I think i makes more sense to divide media into {local music, local videos, remote music and videos} than {local music, local and remote videos, remote music}. Any objections? What do you think?

P.S. I'm sorry if I have written something stupid or forgot something in the update, I'm dead tired, will check for complaints after getting some rest (BTW, Estel, why do I have a feeling that you never sleep? ).
