Re: N900 / Media Player / Random play really random?

 Surely the music player should shuffle the list, not just play random

I can't talk about Mediaplayer, but about MAFW.

MAFW is actually shuffling the songs. But there's a point I have to say.

Let's suppose you create a playlist with about 100 songs, puts shuffle
on and start to play, and stop after 28nd clip.

If you start to play again the same list from the beginning, those first
28 clips are maintained. To clear them shuffle should be put off and
on again.

If you want to see what Mediaplayer is doing, just use dbus-monitor to
track the messages.

 If you can prove that there's no legal issue with using the 'Nokia N900'
 brand with a third party application, maybe. Still, mafw-lastfm should
 work with any other device using mafw, so restricting it's app id only
 to the 'Nokia N900' now is not something I would like, at least not for
 the long term.
 


Maybe using Listening with p, where p is a used-defined string
that can be customized through the applet.

Re: Mediaplayer/GStreamer/Tracker: adding new file types?

 Hello all
 
 Using gst-launch with playbin2, I'm able to play .ts files on my N900 from 
 the command line.
 Is there any way to add this ability to the inbuilt mediaplayer? I guess that 
 this involves a few steps, but don't know how to achieve that:
 - Get Tracker to index .ts files as video files
 - Configure Mediaplayer to use the correct pipeline for this media type


Really, MAFW is in charge of playing things, not mediaplayer. And MAFW
is already using playbin2.

So you only need to configure tracker to index those .ts files in order
to show them as video files.

 But if the change is only inside the renderer, I don't see any reason
 why it couldn't work with the official mp, as they don't care anything
 about the pipeline.

MTR flavour creates a new source with its own uuid (gsteqrenderer),
which Mediaplayer doesn't handle.

MGR flavour replaces mafw-gst-renderer, reusing the same uuid
(gstrenderer), which is handle by mediaplayer.

So if you want to use it with mediaplayer, you must install MGR flavour
and remove old mafw-gst-renderer (to avoid conflicts as both are using
the same names).

Announcement: mafw-gst-eq-renderer initial version

2009-10-22 Thread Juan A. Suarez Romero
Hi maemoers!

After reading some complaints about lack of an equalizer in N900, I've
written a replacement for mafw-gst-renderer called mafw-gst-eq-renderer.
It is not part of official MAFW.

Roughly speaking, it is mafw-gst-renderer with a gstreamer's 10-band
equalizer.

There are two flavours: one intended to replace current
mafw-gst-renderer, and another one intended to coexist with the original
renderer.

If you choose the second flavour, default mediaplayer will not be able
to use it, as it only handles one renderer: mafw-gst-renderer.

Both flavours come with a Control Panel applet that allows to set
equalizer values, and with a set of typical presets (though you can save
your own presets).

 I see. Does this predefined set of directories perchance include the memory 
 card(s) mount point(s) in fremantle ? I'm asking this because there is a 
 growing tendency among packages (especially games) in extras to toss their 
 media files to mmc1 or mmc2, already wreaking havoc on Canola and 
 metalayer-crawler.
 

I think so, but not sure either.

 PS I don't suppose the trackerd monitored directories will be user-settable 
 in 
 finer granularity than mount points without manually editing config files ?

I don't know if tracker supports or will support that. But somebody could write 
a small program to do it ;-)

Mafw shows the clips that are provided by tracker, and tracker has
predefined a set of directories where to look for media files.

So the trick is to install those application's media files outside those
directories.

Thanks for your tip. But I didn't use any swap file.

Battery drain with Diablo 4.2008.23-14

2008-08-11 Thread Juan A. Suarez Romero
Hello, maemoers!

The battery of my N810 lasts a day after reflashing it with Diablo
version 4.2008.23-14.

Really I don't know why this happens. I've googled and seems this
problem is reported in several places.

Moreover, after a full recharge, I've flashed it, put the device in
offline-mode and removed the MMC card.

Without using the device at all, after one day it powers off due to lack
of battery.

I've repeated the process several times, even uninstalling all programs
that comes with flash, and no luck.

Any clue about why this happens?

 What packages you've installed on top of it?
 

None. As I said, I've reflashed it and nothing more. Even I've tested it
by uninstalled applications that come with flash. No luck.

 When the device is in offline mode with MMC out, if you run top in
 XTerm, does anything else besides the top, xterm (maemo-launcher) and
 Xomap show up using *any* CPU?

No, nothing.

 
 What if you disable all Home applets and close all applications
 also (if you already haven't)?
 

After reflashing it, I've powered on device, and left in standby-mode. I
didn't open any application, nor aplet.

No. Even I've formatted the internal card to have nothing.
