I installed a now playing from deb, grabbed the phone after installation reboot but nothing happens as if it was not working, what could be the cause?

I'm not offering .deb file for download anywhere, its available from extras-devel repository. So where did you get the deb?

The reboot with 0.1-2 is not intended, it is caused probably by a bug in dsmetool (I've seen similar issues with other daemons as well in certain circumstances), but its fixed in unreleased version of nowplayingd, by supplying a different flags to dsmetool (it gives up instead of rebooting).

I have no idea why the daemon would not be running after reboot, if deb was installed successfully, as its started by dsmetool, and given the flags in 0.1-2 it guarantees the daemon starts, or device reboots.

If you are installing unreleased 0.2 from GIT directly, then it might be a case where dsmetool has already given up and daemon won't be running. I'll look into it before sending 0.2 to -devel.

It is slightly unstable but believe it or not everytime you turn your n900 off with the widget on it freezes it. i dont know why but anyway all you should have todo is exit the widget out and put it back on. i know its lame but thats how it works for me and i noticed it only does it when the n900 is turned off with the widget on.

I also notice that when u do that and u try to play something or u remove it too fast while the phone is still turning on it resets all the widgets =(

Seems that nowplayingd isn't run after fresh reboot for me, with 0.1-2

Works just fine if I start it on my own. Is it being started by init?

There is issues with starting system currently. I've been extremely busy at work lately, and didn't have time to make changes in nowplayingd. I'm hoping I can release new version to -devel this weekend.

Hi Guys.

I'm using this lil' addition since day 2 i guess. I wonder if it's still that popular.
For me it is. And i thought if the devs are still interested to expand or update the "now playing notifications"

- Could you imagine a way to customize the the notifications position?
Like, pop it up on the bottom, left, right side of the screen... move it from left to right side.... scrolltext...
...something like that.

I also photoshopped together some styles of notification I could imagine.^^
tooo bad I'm just a graphics guy...




...any thoughts?
Would be great to see Tuomo or qwerty12 back in here.

Lota respect for you guys.
