The easiest way to re-index with version 0.96.x is to delete the .idx files inside /home/user/.mediabox/

In 2010.01 it will be easier, though, although hopefully not required.

Yep that's fixed it!

Just marking it as disabled did the trick, didn't even need to remove the mozilla repo entry or uninstall fennec itself.

Thanks a lot, will get testing the rest of the app

I have found this making things worse with full screen playback, at least in several cases. I thing it would be a good idea to have a configuration option for this (I disabled the downsampling by hand)

1) is the phone in silent mode?
2) is the volume low?
3) does the player window have a close-button at the top-right? (weird question, but there's a relation)
4) does rebooting the phone fix it?

1) i did have the phone in silent mode. which was the problem.
2) the volume of the files is either low or the playback is slightly low
3) yes
4) im sure the silent mode was my issue, i didnt think about it since the built in media player was working for local media.

thanks for you help and quick reply!

edit: ps: how strong is the MP4 particularly FLV containers support in media box?

It depends on the codecs you installed on your tablet. Installing the Zoutube app, e.g., will also install codecs for playing FLV.
My N900 plays MP4 and FLV just fine with MediaBox and also with MediaPlayer.

And for playing Ogg and FLAC audio there's the package ogg-support available in extras.

Hi,
Nice stuff here. I have Zoutube and the ogg support, etc installed along with MediaBox.

I have some things I'm trying to figure out.

When the Vol slider on the left is at 100%, the Volume on the device is only 50%. So the volume is too low all the time.

Where do you fix that one at?

I have 51-1 FW by the way.

I can get mpg and flv files to play in mplayer but they won't play in MediaBox, how to fix that one? The FLV files do not show up in the browser?

Thanx for the nice bits you've done here!

Do they show up in the Maemo media player? They ought to show up once Zoutube is installed. Maybe forcing tracker to reindex with

Code:

tracker-processes -r

will help.

Anyway, you don't have to rely on tracker with MediaBox. Find the folder containing the FLVs in MediaBox' filesystem browser and tap and hold down on the folder icon to open the menu. There you can scan the folder for media.

Thanx! That solved the Video question. Any idea about why I only get 50% Volume?
