I also got on 3G continuously and on WiFi once "Timeout occurred while loading playlists!" error. Buffering on 3G still works though.

I assume that you did enable the pause on headset unplugged functionality via Settings? I have tested both with the standard N900 headphones and with Bluetooth Nokia BH-505 headset, and pausing did work fine with both of them.

The timeout error can occur now and then due to communications with the Spotify playlist servers. I am working on an approach involving caching of playlist data in the libopenspotify library, which I hope will help to eliminate this problem.

Yes, I did do that. I'm using Koss Porta Pro, doesn't seem to work nor with the Sennheiser HD 280. I also got again the Playlist-error, this time in WiFi.

I also have the Headphone daemon installed, can it be conflicting with this? I tested the Media Player and that was fine, the headphone-daemon stopped playback.

Thanks for the info, I will need to check if headphoned could have something to do with it (I have not it myself installed currently).

Great, thanks.

I happened to notice by the way, that there's some unnecessary spacing whilst holding the device in login portrait, see screenshot (I also attached the landscape just to compare the spacing).

Thanks for the info about the spacing, I had not noticed it myself..

I tried to install headohoned, but pause on unplug did still work with the standard headphones (did not test with the bluetooth model). Have you tried the playback controls?

Odd. Well, the playback controls within QSpot did work just fine, but I couldn't rewind the current track to the 0:00 (hint, feature request, hint

). I'd try with the stock headset but I've lost it and it doesn't seem to be a case with the headset in this case.

I also tried to print installed packages to .TXT but failed at it, I just got from:

Code:

dpkg -l|awk '/^ii/{ print $2 }' >pkgs_installed.txt

Error "Unexpected end of string".

Here's my installed packages. I have to warn you though, the list is long.

The problem is with ordinary headphones (i.e., without mic). The notification about removal is received different in this case (it works now ok with headset with mic). I will fix this as soon as possible, hopefully I can provide a fixed version for this later today..

* Added support for automatically pausing playback when headset is unplugged (disconnected); configurable via Settings dialog (off by default).

I hope you will enjoy the update.. Seek within track was not included in this version as there are some problems in the current libopenspotify implementation.

First of all I want to, again, thank for this awesome app! Without it this phone wouldn't simply be as good as it is. I can't seem to find the new version when I go update on HAM though?

And I found an slight error when I checked what version i was using: "Special thanks to Markus.... assitance with the ->graphicla<- design and layout." Rather small typo there

Edit: Found it now, don't know why it didn't appear the first time.

Just FYI, if you want, I can report all these issues to Garage too, so that we won't have the thread full of the.

Shall I do that, would be easier to keep the bugs-list up-to-date also?

Is it possible to show on startup the latest screen where you was before exiting qspot. With this you immediately can see which songs you play last. The feature that I mean is actually what happens when you startup mediabox.
