My guess is that your desktop runs out of memory. MediaBox is highly optimized to minimize memory
consumption and is about on par with YouAmp in terms of memory consumption, but some
graphics are stored on the X server side (Xomap) for best performance.
It would be interesting to know at what stage MediaBox crashes your desktop. Is it during startup, or when playing media, or... ?

Hi Pycage thanks for this neat work this svn version is working as the 95 V only thing left is the radio connecting to the net fails but i really like this. i have since removed every player, one question though upon release of version 96 do we have to update or remove completly this svn before reinstalling the new thanks.
Edit: using my newly paired bluetooth stereo to listen to music is absolute enjoyment really Thanks for the Effort, Hardwork and Generousity making it possible on the NIT, works flawlessly

First things first.
It's incredible work, pycage, kind of dream player for me. Thx for dreams come true.
Now it's time for many characters about the 0.96svn...
- Bugs:
1. UI/Code: Related to fast actions and switching (screenshots 1, 2)
2. Code: Image gallery thumbnailing. When image type is unrecognized thumbnail generating fails and the rest pictures in the list have no thumbs at all. (log 1). I'm not using Python (but planning to), so from my point of Java view a try-catch issue.
Not bugs, but IMO some improvement needed:
1. UI: In Browser view:
- Device icon is out of screen (some part of it is under the topbar). Some alignment needed, probably...(Or kinematic scrolling also?). Same in Settings.
- No D-Pad support (I guess yet).
2. Arrow in bottom left corner opens a modules menu, but doesn't close it when tapping it. But sometimes I want to return w/o looking for the modules I'm in right now.
Feature requests:
1. UI: "Now playing" feature somewhere in UI (it seems to be mentioned).
2. D-Pad Left/Right for Prev/Next.
3. Still shuffle and repeat (please, please, please... Just 2 little things to make it perfect
).
4. More settings to configure. E.g. for using MPlayer as backend.
5. Documentation for making themes... Just a bit... A piece...
6. I've got an idea of making a home applet to control MediaBox. I guess via D-Bus, so it would be nice to have a documentation about D-Bus messages and MediaBox.
If there is documentation, then I apologize for being inattentive.
7. Probably a kind of localization.
If you got to this point, thanks for patience
I can submit it all to garage page for any purpose and ready to help.
Best wishes.

Thanks for so much information.
looks ugly. I'm aware of this but it's not a show-stopper for holding back a release.
One day this will surely be fixed. But I cannot promise that it'll be fixed in 0.96.
instead. Keyboard support is planned.
There's no documentation yet.

At Garage:
Commited bugs: 2797, 2798.
Feature requests: 2799, 2800, 2801, 2802.
It all is about being out of the module, which contents is playing.
1. It may be a popup, when changing tracks.
2. A button (it's even more friendly then just a popup) somewhere on the bars to show a popup (or whatever... e.g dock/window like "Loading" one) with information about currently playing track and in which module, 'cause sometimes I get lost, when switching through the modules, where track is playing (e.g. Playlist/Player or Music). Also that popup can contain some control buttons (e.g. Prev, Next, Play, Pause).
Also I figured out something more
[Not in Feature Requests]
1. Volume. It would be nice to load the last volume level at startup. And to have the same volume in each module (it logically comes from previous idea).
2. Equalizer... Would be nice. But I'm not sure about libs etc, that can be used for it.

I'd second having the volume level maintained between sessions. Not worried about an Equalizer though. Seems a lot of work for no real benefit.
