Yeah, but again, it's an upstream bluez/bluetooth-alsa/a2dpd issue that we have no control of (short of going digging in the bluetooth-alsa code base). We're actually changing the alsa volume while playing back A2DP audio, but a2dpd doesn't seem to care.

I'm just glad BT works, the volume control is not that important, since all the headphones and speakers that I use have their own volume controls. Luckily the BT stack you are using has a loud enough default volume, otherwise it might be a problem.

I got me a set of BT speakers to use here at work, and I've had Kagu going almost all day...flawless operation, and the sound quality is very hard to distinguish from a standard line in. The new playlist feature is great, lets me ignore the N800 for 3-4 hours at a time.

Can't wait to see what 1.0.7 brings to the table...

trevarthan,
I know it is not easy to integrate all those playlist wishes, but for me the recent changes from .4 to .6 did not really translate well into the real world. As it is now in .6, whenever I select one track, it is added to the playlist instead of being played back. Now I open on album, klick on "CD+", the Playback starts from track one, but when I am bored with this track and klick on track 4 instead, it does not jump to track4, but just "adds this to the playlist"...???
Previousely, when I was in playback and selected another track and presses PAUSE and PLAY, I could jump to this other track.. Any chance to combine this "older" behaviour with the Playlist programming? At the moment Playlists are anyway not really usefull, as one can not see the playlist and jump around within it...
just my two cents,
karl.

You can see the current playlist by clicking/touching the album cover on the lower right. And jump songs from there. Another touch to the cover will zoom in on the cover image, and third touch will take you to the song position screen where you can seek thru the current playing track.

So, to add whole album to the playlist and switch to the fourth track, click on the CD+ button, click the lower-right album image, click the fourth song.

(trev: maybe we should switch to the "Now Playing" screen if the album was added to an empty playlist)

Its good to know someone else in the earlier posts has the same problem i do. On the new updated firmware on the n800 kagu music scanner crashes and closes about halfway through the downloads. Then it shows you have no music. The only way to get music is to uncheck the download images selection, but then all the images are the default unknown. If anyone knows a solution to this problem i'd greatly appriciate it, i love kagu and the new features would greatly add to my experience.

Thanks in advance for any help

I would *really* like to see the backtrace please. SSH into your tablet, run `kagu-scanner`, then when it crashes, copy and paste the last 10 lines or so here. We want to do what we can to fix the scanner album art crashes, but so far nobody has sent us traces.

I would try to do the backtrace, but Kagu started working fine for me under mysterious circumstances. I had gone so far as to uninstall and reinstall Kagu and get rid of the language-learning files that I thought were causing my crash, and Kagu still didn't run. It went thru the scanning process ok but then crashed as soon as I tried to run an mp3 file. I had the feeling that somehow even though I uninstalled and reinstalled it, it was reusing some file that it had been using when it was crashing due to the language-learning files.

So I gave up, temporarily. Then, in a totally unrelated incident, I uninstalled and reinstalled Canola and discovered that Kagu was working again!

Is that just a coincidence? I am going to try Kagu with my language-learning mp3s soon and see if it crashes again...

Outside of this one problem, Kagu runs great!

However, I have one suggestion. I have a large number of book files for The Looming Tower, a great book about Bin Laden and his pals. When I load it in Kagu, I get one file after another labled The Looming Tower, with no way to tell them apart. When I load them with the default media program on my N800, they are numbered, so I can remember that I left off on 8 The Looming Tower, rather than having to count off as I have to do with Kagu.

Great program, though!

Here is a backtrace of the last 36 or so lines so you could see it seemed to me
working. Thanks.

I really enjoy this player, but have had so much frustration with it. It seems no matter how hard I try I can't get it to install properly. It seems to reside mostly with my application manager. I'm using a 770, and it has the latest firmware. When installing the 1.0.5 it starts to install, and in the last part of it gives me the error window that simply says "Kagu did not install properly" Oddly enough it still works.
Anyway the problem with the latest version is that my application manager refuses to recognize a new version actually is out. I have deleted the old version of the install file and downloaded it multiple times from the maemo webisite. Yet everytime it says I have the latest version installed. If I uninstall my old version, and click on the install file it says that its wanting to install the 1.0.5 version.

1.0.5 didn't install on 770s properly. This was fixed in 1.0.6. However, it seems like you're having maemo.org mirror problems or something as 1.0.6 isn't showing up. You could always download the .deb and install it as root via xterm with `dpkg -i ...`
