chgu:

this 100% mplayer-issue is definitely NOT happening here on my N800. I have KAGU running since 18 hours now (with 3 hours of real listening) without exiting the application, and battery is still fine (just lost one "LED" on the bar).

looking at the cpu usage, I have 6% when kagu is not playing (mainly maemo_af_desktop using those 6%). when kagu is playing I see osso_media_server coming up, using just 2 cycles and 8% of total cpu usage.

cheers, karl.

There's an issue with escaping (or not) of XML/HTML entities: I've got an album by "Sam & Dave" which is displayed as "Sam & Dave" in the album list.

It would only happen with A2DP if it happens at all. We do our best to kill mplayer, but sometimes it'll hang and a kill signal won't work. It seems rare on my system though.

I think the Bluetooth-ALSA people are working out a new way to do A2DP so that we don't have to manage the a2dpd process at the application layer anymore. This issue will go away when that happens, I think. For now, just try to check every now and then if mplayer is running. If you notice a pattern, let me know and I'll see if it's a bug.

Well, bluez, the Linux bluetooth stack, has support for AD2P now.

1: Is there a config file that I can edit in Kagu to tell it to ONLY search for _.MP3_ files (ignore .ogg etc) and _ONLY_ search on the _external_ SD card and _ONLY_ in the sub-direcories under "/Music" ?
- If there is such a config file what is its name and where is it located?

2: I know that album art can be put into either "folder.jpg" or "cover.jpg" in the album's sub-directory.
- If both exist, with will Kagu use?

3: Is the "artist" photo stored in a similar way?
With the last release it picked up some very strange photos for the artists, and could not find some very well known artists so I'd like to put correct .jpgs for the artists to be used instead.
- If so, what must the filenames be and where are they stored?

I truly appreciate Kagu! I'm using it much more often than I expected.

Thanx again for a great utility.

I agree with SkwrHdz. When updating to 1.08, the scan captured all the .ogg files that Navicore seems to use for turn by turn navigating. This has never happened before. My quick solution was to pull the internal card out and do a rescan, but having the ability to choose where to scan, or turn off .ogg would be a great help. I've been using this 1.03 I think and love the work you're doing!

rogue,

the same happens to me (scanning my Navicore Voice files); in the WIKI I have posted a workaround to tell KAGU where it should look for files, scoll down to the "Details" section:

https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/wik...&id=304&type=g

its in the file: "path_a = '/usr', '/dev', '/proc'", I did not test this myself, but if someone has the time to do it, please post the results

SKWRHDZ: this would also answer your question reagarding scan locations. the other questions about album art I cannot answer, DISQ?

No config file yet, but you can always edit kagu-scanner.py if necessary. Existing ticket: https://www.guardiani.us/projects/kagu/ticket/109

I don't remember. And I don't feel like looking right now. Anyone else? I think I might have answered this elsewhere. Try searching the forum maybe?

Not implemented yet. Ticket: https://www.guardiani.us/projects/kagu/ticket/123

Thanks to you all for the excellent feedback. Kagu wouldn't be what it is today without your suggestions and comments.

Where do I go to find the file: globals.py

What do I edit out of , or edit in to

"path_a = '/usr', '/dev', '/proc'"

to have Kagu only scan for .MP3 files in the sub-directory '/music' on the external SD card?

Sorry, where can I find globals.py. I've done some searching, but can't locate it.
thanks,
Rob
