To add more to the good news, I've got an update.
  • Support for pluggable, dynamically loaded lyrics providers.
  • Plugins for AZLyrics, ChartLyrics, LyricsDB (the old integrated provider, now improved), LyricsWiki.
  • Increased the space for lyrics in the lyrics editor.
  • Added a shortcut to save changes in the lyrics editor (Ctrl+S).
  • Saving empty lyrics in the lyrics editor deletes the lyrics file.
  • Changed the lyrics cache format and location ("/home/user/.cache/openmediaplayer/lyrics/"), and added a plugin to read lyrics from the previous directory.
  • Moved the configuration file to "/home/user/.config/openmediaplayer/openmediaplayer.conf".
  • "Open whole folders" option works for videos.
  • Fixed the endless loading icon after opening a whole folder.
  • Added a note in the settings dialog to warn about libplayback conflicting with the wired headset button.

There are two things that I'd like to say something about. First of all, if you want to keep your settings, move them to the new location:
Code:
mkdir /home/user/.config/openmediaplayer/;
mv /home/user/.config/MohammadAG/mediaplayer.conf /home/user/.config/openmediaplayer/openmediaplayer.conf
Secondly, you might remember that some time ago MohammadAG proposed plugins as a way of supplying lyrics. Finally that idea comes to life and the repositories too.

Lyrics providers can be configured in the main settings window. If you enable more than one provider, the first one in the list will be queried first, if it fails then the second, and so on.

The new offline cache is incompatible with the old one, but worry not. If you don't want to start afresh, go to the settings and enable the lyrics provider called "OMP pre-20120803 offline cache". Otherwise you can delete the old lyrics directory:
Code:
rm -r /home/user/.lyrics/
New sources of lyrics can be added quite easily (and only enabled plugins stay in the memory), so if there's a source that you'd like to see in OMP, let me know (or add it yourself: https://gitorious.org/qt-mediaplayer.../master/lyrics). Only online sources are cleanly supported for now, but another update might also enable importing cache of your favorite media player from PC, for example.

I can listen to a playlist on shuffle for a number of days, normally either "Most Played" or "Never Played".
After say roughly 5 days, OMP takes ages to open and when it does, magically I am back at the start of the playlist with all the same songs in the same order.
I know it's not got to the end of the list as I currently have 2457 never played tracks.
I am guessing this has nothing to do with OMP, correct?
If you mean that a random playlist does not span all songs and creates a loop, that's probably MAFW, because OMP only tells it to enable the shuffle mode and doesn't care what MAFW does with it. I don't know where the prolonged startup comes from.
