A new version of Helium is out.

This version is not submitted to the store (yet) since I felt it needs a bit more testing, especially on the interaction with media renderers. I’ve only two renderers that are not Rygel-based and one of them is severely broken when it comes to UPnP.

So please, try it out and report any issue you find either via its issue tracker at github or as a comment here.

Please see http://jensge.org/2012/09/helium-0-6-0/ for more information and the packages.

There's a bugtracker/feature tracker available at github: https://github.com/phako/Helium/issues

I'd really appreciate if you could test it with different players, TV's, loudspeakers etc, out there as my hardware access is rather limited and the spec for player control is a bit unclear on some points.

if you go for gpl license and free, it would be nice to have it in apps.formeego.org

P.S. to downlload from device — use MeeScan and QR-Code:

Thanks for your effort! Here's some feedback:

I successfully played movies from my QNAP 459Pro NAS (running Twonky 6.0.34) to my Samsung D6510 Smart-TV (Firmware 1.0.18).

I noticed that Helium shows a progres-indicator (time played) but it's not possible to use it to jump to a certain position. (I can do so on the TV, so it's not a file/player problem). Do you plan to add this? Maybe also for volume control? It would be very convenient so one does not have to switch from the N9 to the TV-remote and back.

I found the procedure to start playing not intuitive. I had to read the manual to discover the long press (was expecting the > on the
renderer page to start playing). It would be nice to have a feedback on the successful long press (vibrate).

Kind of the first one. You can't use them on the N9, but you can use the N9 as a remote control.

Volume control is planned, I need that as well. Seeking does work, although that's one of the grey areas in the specs. If you could use gupnp-universal-cp, the Intel UPnP inspector or the Coherence UPnP navigator (forgot the name), browse to your TV, a service called AVTransport and give me the content of the state variable A_ARG_TYPE_SeekMode I can probably fix that.

I found the procedure to start playing not intuitive. I had to read the manual to discover the long press (was expecting the > on the

This is going to change in a future version. Also I tried to add haptic feedback but it didn't work.

Just used it to control playback from n9 to TV, works really well. Is it possible to have thumbnails or use gallery view ? Right now it's bit difficult with only filenames.

Good hint. It's GPL and will be free of charge. I'll read through the submission process.

There should be thumbnails although they might be a bit small. With "from the N9" you meant the internal UPnP server?

A gallery view is a neat idea!
