if u are really commit to them try to split the time u expend in them more equally.

most of us think u really stopped developing this. thanks for not dropping it.

Think MAG will decide how he uses his time. He isn't paid from anyone over here, so don't tell him how to work, just say thanks en be grateful . . .

Hi all. Hacked the entertainment view into a car view, and thought I might share. I had these goals in mind:
* No distraction - keep only the essentials
* Good visibility - Artist/Album/Song readable at a glance in difficult light when shuffling and discovering something new
* Controls (especially next-button) usable without looking

Attached screenshots:
* Default view
* Tap text to hide it and show a clock for privacy:)
* Swipe right-to-left for playlist

If you'd like to try, unpack the tar.gz in /opt/mediaplayer/qml. Be warned that this nukes the default entertainment view:
# root
# cd /opt/mediaplayer/qml
# cp entertainmentview.qml entertainmentview.orig.qml
# tar xzvf /PATHTO/carview.tar.gz

BTW: Hacking those qmls is fun, highly recommended! Just close and open the entertainment view after your edit - no restart needed. Best start mediaplayer in the terminal to see errors and make use of console.log.

i did say thanks and its just an advice, i am not telling him to do it.
it sometimes nice say yes, i am working on this from time to time. especially if u have many projects.
i am software engineer, i dont code, i just direct, if ever stop reporting i would be fired since whole project its on the my shoulders.

one the problems with open source it's there is no commitment. if u are not to commit to it, its better to drop it an give it to someone else.

Exactly, it's your job, it's his spare time. Period.

I'm looking forward to trying this out! I've tried many different media programs on my phone but they're all not quite right somehow - too fiddly to use, unstable, or (as in the case of Instinctiv) needing an internet connection or it locks up trying to find album art.

But one thing that instinctiv does well is it's modified ("instinctive") shuffle mode. If you skip a song it is less likely to 'randomly' choose a similar song later on. It I'm not sure how it works but i imagine if you skip a song it assigns that song's genre a point, and biases the random selection to the genres with the lowest points. Something like that.


Anyway great work!

I'm trying to compile latest version of mediaplayer from gitorious.

I type in scratchbox :

qmake mediaplayer.pro

He said i need to set Qt Creator path but i don't use Qt Creator.

Anyone has a solution ?

Thanks

I find a solution.

1. install libqt4-dev package in scratchbox :
fakeroot apt-get install libqt4-dev
2. Add this line in external-includepaths.pro
QTCREATORINSTALLPATH=/usr/local
3. Change scratchbox's target
sb-conf select FREMANTLE_ARMEL
4. Compile Media Player
qmake mediaplayer.pro
make

You could just take out the include(external-includepaths.pro) line in the .pro file.
I'll change it to warning() rather than error() later.

CepiPerez, I've went over the patch, it just needs some de-maemo-ification (like hardocded paths (/home/user)) and some layout changes (so it matches the coding style), as well as some variable name changes and I'll send it "upstream", major thanks for it

Anyway, here's a binary for those interested
http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/mediaplayer_cepiperez

Code:
wget http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/mediaplayer_cepiperez -O /usr/local/bin/mediaplayer
replaces the one installed from the first post.
