xmms-skins packages updated. when you have these packages installed, you have to select /usr/share/xmms/Skins in the skin browser to see the new skins.



Also, for your next release, you should put the xmms.desktop file into the "/usr/share/applications/hildon/" directory so that Personal Menu can "see" the application. Right now, a user has to enter the command for XMMS manually.
Done for the next release



For the minimize, if you would read a few posts before you would see that the menu entry is used to start xmms and also to bring it back. xmms works fine under other WM but not with the default shipped with the nokias...


XMMS folks for inclusion.
xmms is considered abandonware. It is not maintained anymore by its creators. Due to this and the complexity of the code, it has been removed from official Debian and Ubuntu repositories. I like xmms, I'll keep on using it. The new alternatives were very very buggy when I tried them. So I use the good old xmms.


Someone (not sure who) has released a different build that keeps an icon in the task list...
Do you know how to contact this person and eventually get the patch?
Funny I thought about the same thing yesterday. Creating a top level app that goes in the tasklist. I'll make some test, I'm not very good in hildon specific stuffs.


I have n800 with last 2007 OS firmeware. XMMS playng mp3-songs perfectly, but ogg load 100% cpu. Im trying Alsa, eSound and Crossfade output plugins, but no result. Any ideas about this?
Hum... the vorbis decoder has not been changed since some time.
Ogg decoders are always more cpu intensive than mp3 decoders. I just tried one ogg and the cpu is higher but still very low, and it played perfectly with several other apps running.
I have no real idea and the fact that I'm not running os2007 doesn't help. Can you try to reinstall some packages? (in a shell as root)
apt-get remove xmms*
apt-get autoremove
rm -rf /home/user/.xmms

apt-get install xmms
Try without any plugin first, with esd.
