thanks! it actually installed tonight via the app tool. though, i prefer to also keep local copies. this port is almost perfect --- it just needs the minimizing/ maximizing to work properly. right now, when i minimize, the app disappears, but still runs. overall, nice job!

Yes I tried the mad plugin. Works smoothly I compared with and without it running and it did seem to make it sound better. No hiccups. Not much to report in that, well, it works.

Now for the fun part. With the new OS2008, XMMS works with BT headphones. A bit "noisy" still but dang it ... I've got BT headphones!

Thank you both.

Yep the minimize is really the missing point to make it a usable application.

Also seen that the sound is not as good with mad plugin. I don't see how this could be. Maybe a combination with other effects. I have no clue yet about the differences mad/mpeg123.

I tried to fetch some bluetooth headphones yesterday but didn't find them in a shop. I'll guess I'll order them by internet.


There are still problems to get my packages, I'll have to dig why exactly.

Either way, nice job. I've been craving for an XMMS port for a loooong time --- the other audio players (in my opinion) aren't very good. Really, the minimizing/ maximizing feature is the only thing left (if it's at all possible.)

Can I maximize it again via commandline?

Any thoughts on what I/we may do next? Regards, Jim
I occasionally get the main screen to come up and not disappear after a few seconds, but it's virtually non-reactive. I click on a file directory designation with the stylus, then try various ways to add or get a directory reading of files within it, but nothing happens. Also, the small media-player applet is a real pain: hard to get rid of and almost impossible to read because of the small type face. Also, the fonts on the main screen aren't that much easier to read either. The zooming function has no effect. Through advice from another thread concerning a2dp, I'd like to try my a2dp headphones with xmms to see if they will work for me too. I can't get them to work with any of the other media players, although they used to work with Kagu before the new OS was installed. The current N800 media player situation from my standpoint is definitely a "work in progress." Thanks and regards, Jim

Great job and thanks for making this. When I try to change the sound using the equalizer , it does not seem to change anything. Is there something I could be doing wrong?

Did you switch the equalizer on? (left upper part: On/Auto)

Yes, it's turned on. It doesn't make any difference.

Yes, the rebel is right, takes a bit of time.. Actually I only tried it on the first release.

I have packaged more plugins. At the moment I don't have my device so I don't want to upload them yet.

->Visu plugins: 8bits goom (32bits xorg mode not available under my device), infinity. They run quite okay. Althought when using optimization, it doesn't make a difference. I don't know why yet.. Gotta read some documentation from arm and from gcc.. ughh
goom is really hallucinogenic

->More general plugins (~10), but unfortunately not tremor yet (as I'm not working on it, if somebody wants to do it, (s)he's welcome, contact me if something is missing)

The plan is to get back the internationalization and the minimize stuff.
