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.
This was installed on my N810 as soon as Qwerty12 released it, and was one of the first on my N900.

Dunno about Tuomo, but Qwerty stormed off after a bust up last year, leaving some closed sourcemedia player control package with a massive rant.

1 thing I'd like to have the option of would be to have the artist and track announced. That would be nice when listening on headphones with the N900 in the pocket or pack.

My request would be that instead of showing some media player icon together with the artist and song, it would show the actual album art if available. Doable?

Edit: This is how it looks for me if anyone is interested

I'm interested.

How did you do this?

I can't get this to go to the HildonBanner, it only shows in the Task Manager and setting the time limit doesn't seem to take either.

I have this in my config file.


NPN_OPTIONS="-u -t 4"


Diablo. Version 0.1. And yeah, I even rebooted.

No, that didn't work at all.

It's not accepting anything it that config file.

I even changed the permissions to user/users for it and it's still not a go.

Any ideas?

have you tried editing it as root? If not, then try as root and it should let you..

What editor are you using? nano or vi?

Yeah, I edit it as root using Emelfm2.

I save the file just fine.

But for some reason, the option for Hildonbanner and the timer don't change the default settings.

Have you rootsh installed? If not, then install it.

Try editing it in Xterm;
1. open xterm from the utilities menu.
2. type root - this will change you to be the "superuser/administrator"
3. type nano /etc/default\now-playing-notifier -this will open the file for text editing in the nano text editor.
4. make the changes, and save by pressing ctrl-x - this will save and close the file.
5. type /etc/init.d/now-playing-notifier restart - This will restart the service and save you from rebooting.

test by opening mediaplayer and playing a music track. Note that the track needs the metadata like artist, title otherwise it won't display anything

I really don't get this.

sudo etc/init.d/now-playing-notifier restart
Restarting Now Playing Notifier:

It just hangs on this without ever giving me a new command line.

After running that and having this
NPN_OPTS="-u -t 2"
in my config file. No notifications anymore.

Here is my complete config file now.

# Default settings for now-playing-notifier. This file is sourced by /bin/sh from
# /etc/init.d/now-playing-notifier.

# -u will make now-playing-notifier use a HildonBanner instead
# -t <number> allows you to adjust the time that the notification is displayed on-screen for (default: 10)

# Options to pass to now-playing-notifier
NPN_OPTIONS="-u -t 2"

I receive notifications but they appear like so.



Current permissions and owners of the config file.



Thanks for helping me with this gazza.
