Hmmm... that's not how it is supposed to work. Even single tapping should change the song. Maybe the playlist was still loading and the responsiveness was crippled.

It might be true, but I'm not sure if it's worth the effort. As soon as the lists are fully populated, I get scrolling that is almost as smooth as silk, even with over 2800 songs and the loading time seems to be more dependent on how fast MAFW can serve the requests rather than how fast QListWidget adds the results. Should I get more songs for my library? I just couldn't reproduce the general slowness I've been reading about...

Oh, and I thought it would be nice to post a new build. Here come the essential news:

• Massive speed gains when shuffling whole library. Still not as swift as the stock player, but it should be usable.
• I thought I fixed blank playlist in Now Playing before, but this time I hope it's for everyone.
• Playlist state indicator no longer pops up to cover the searchbox.
• It's possible to create and delete radio bookmarks.

nice nice nice!

ok, now i must ask for this: there is implementation of lyrics in OMP... end when you tap on album art, it switch from playlist, to lyrics, than tap again for progress bar...
my personal opinion is that it should have a settings that enable/disable lyrics in now playing (maybe i don't want that extra tap)... what do you think?
is it simple to integrate???
another thing: when in portrait mode, a playlist part in now playing is a bit smaller than in landscape (???)... when in landscape we see 5 songs/files (whatever) but in portrait, only 4... could a media art part be smaller (not much, just a little bit) so a more songs could see in playlist (5 or even 6)??? that would be much more "finger friendly",... this way you have your thumb on a relatively small area, and viewing pls is a bit difficult (depends how FAT is your thumb)

oh yes... another thing:
look at the difference between album art for OMP and stock MP

OMP


stock MP


on omp is kinda fragmented (not jitter-ed) , don't you think???

am I the only one that finds that all songs view is very slow, I mean when I choose a song it's not playing the one I chose and then the entire app goes so sloooow :s

There's no threading, it adds all items in the playlist then plays the song you selected.

app crashes on song/playlist delete & when fm transmitter is enabled from omp menu

anybody else experience this ?

I'm aware of that and I've got a possible fix, but I'm still investigating and looking for the best solution.

It should be fairly easy. I'll give it a try tonight or tomorrow.

I think that's a good point, but smaller cover art probably wouldn't look as nice. There's also possibility of removing the reflection, but I really like that subtle touch. In the future I want to implement editing of the playlist in Now Playing and maybe then I'll be forced to decide on the best way to enlarge the playlist area.

Covers in stock MP are smoother, but in OMP they look more detailed.

Pardon the noob question but I've installed the omp_20110917.tar.gz file. Now if I place that folder into the main N900 folder, what code do I need to input into X-terminal to update my OMP?

Put omp_20110917.tar.gz in MyDocs, then unzip it to there

X terminal:
1. root
2. cd /home/user/MyDocs/omp_20110917
3. sh install_mediaplayer.sh --desktop-file

Done

thanks gidzzz!

i have more suggestions to you (i see that you are currently maintaining this project):

could it be implemented a playlist creation "from folder"?
i think it was discussed somewhere many times, and it is thing that would be most useful for music playing etc....

i think i mentioned this somewhere before: type and search trough current playlist in now playing (very very useful!!!)

and i'm not thinking that i ask this for myself, but i think that these are suggestions to make OMP a better and more useful player!

keep up the good work! (too all dev-s)

gidzzz, what's your gitorious username?
