Maybe another bug : I can't play mp4 files with OMP (no problem with the stock media player)

is that normal?

Sorry if someone already answered that question... if I install this player, it will substitute the default player or I still will have boths?

Thanks!

Use the instructions on this post

But ignore this section if you don't want to replace the stock player!

To "replace" the stock player (if you don't want to do that, use the script below).
Place the binary in /usr/local/bin/
Code:
nano /usr/share/dbus-1/services/com.nokia.mediaplayer.service
Change /usr/bin/mediaplayer to /usr/local/bin/mediaplayer, note that this will cause mime_open to stop working until implemented.

Been using OMP regularly -- portrait view is nice to have in tandem with the portrait-mode open applications view.

Might be a bug, or just an unimplemented feature: when playing video, touching the TrashCan icon didn't do anything. In the stock player this opens a Delete File dialog.

If you did the change

Than to revert you should open console and type (I don't like nano... Please install leafpad from application manager before typing it into console if you don't have it in your system) :
1. gain root

Code:

sudo gainroot

2. edit file (this is one command)

Code:

leafpad /usr/share/dbus-1/services/com.nokia.mediaplayer.service

and make sure the third (last) line looks like this:

Exec=/usr/bin/mediaplayer

If you also want to have both Media Player and Open Media Player installed in the system (but use MP as main media player and have OMP just as additional option in applications menu), type this commands in this order into terminal:
1. You have to have wget installed, so:

Code:

apt-get install wget

2. You need to download file from MohammadAG (this text below is one command, someone should seriously do something with CODE box formatting on this site!:P)

Code:

wget http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/public/maemo/install_mediaplayer.sh

3. Make it executable

Code:

chmod +x install_mediaplayer.sh

4. Run it to do everything for you - don't thank me, thank MohammadAG

Code:

./install_mediaplayer.sh --desktop-file

And that's it, now you should see Open Media Player icon in apps menu, but also Media Player icon and files should be opened in Media Player by default (you may need to reboot your phone afterwards, I don't know, because I'm not using either MP or OMP too much). And honestly, if you couldn't figure it out yourself, you should preferably wait few more weeks untill stable releases of CSSU and OMP are released

If you really messed up somewhere, just apt-get --reinstall install mediaplayer to get the stock player back again

Yeah, it doesn't actually do anything right now.
