[ANNOUNCE] nQa Audiobook Player
As of 20. July 2010 epage has accepted to be the maintainer of this software.
Wiki page for Nqaap. Original content: I just promoted my project "nQa Audiobook Player" to extras-testing (again), so hopefully it should be available soon. * What? Nqaap is a simple audiobook player that has the following features:
** Setup
* View? http://www.pengworld.com/nqaap/playing.png http://www.pengworld.com/nqaap/menu.png http://www.pengworld.com/nqaap/Select_book.png * Why? On my S60 phones i really enjoyed the nokia audiobook player, and I was dismayed that it was not available for the N900. So I wrote nqaap for myself, and hopefully a few of you guys can use it as well. ** Problems with audiobooks in std media player.
Nqa is obviously not really a word. It could be short for "not quite a", which would make nqaap "not quite an audiobook player" which might be a good description at this state. "N-Q-A" sounds (to me) at little like NoKiA, and since nqaap is inspired by their player it fits somewhat. * How Written in python with gtk and tested on my N900. * What now Test it if it sounds like it is something that migth be usefull to you, and please report back with problems and suggestions in this thread. |

This sounds pretty handy. I'll have to look it up and see how it works for me. And thanks again for your effort.
After a quick try: Downloaded and moved my books to Audiobooks folder. The app didn't recognize a folder structure of Audiobooks/book/cd1/file1.mp3 , Audiobooks/book/cd2/file1.mp3 and so on. Changed the structure to Audiobooks/cd1/file1.mp3 , Audiobooks/cd2/file1.mp3 and had to delete the previously created indexes and current status from /home/~user/.nqaap/ to stop it crashing on start. Otherwise works great. |

Thanks for testing.
I should have mentioned that all the files for the books must be in the same folder (unless I should consider this my first feature request). I will update the first post, as well as the included documentation to include this information. I think I know what caused your crash and will fix it as soon as possible. |

Hi Pengman, and thanks for your nice application.
Just a small enhancement request for version 0.7.1-1 actually in Extras-Testing: is it possible to change the behaviour of your app when pressing the progress bar? Actually, all it does when clicked is to interrupt the audio flux for a bit: instead it should go to the point I've clicked. Actually the only way for moving through a chapter is to drag the selector, it should be nice to have a more finger friendly "click and go" feature. Thanks for reading, regards. |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] nQa Audiobook Player
Tried a few thing now that I'm not 5 mins away from leaving to work. The app/gui/maemo/whatever handles arabic and cyrillic. I think the maemo 5 is utf-8?
This is not a given though, as I have konqueror on my desktop giving me issues with some utf-8 non-romanic characters. Deleting the currently listened folder gives an error of : Code:

Anyways, I just pushed 0.7.2 with the "Click'n'Go" seekbar to devel and will try to push it into testing later. Is there a limit on how often I can move stuff from devel -> testing? If there is I must consolidate the releases a bit more. |

Pengman-
I am going to try as well since I miss Nokia Audiobook player. The question for me is: what does nQa have that Pannucci lacks? If it just allows one to load up a whole folder instead of one book at a time, that might be enough. Fred |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] nQa Audiobook Player
just testing this now after downloading Pilgrims Progress. I like the sleep timer. Am going to try listening later but it looks like a useful app. Well done Pengman for the hard work.
