0.9.7-28:
winamp skin cutter and engine fixes. also added action to randomly load skin from the list in ~/.oscp/skins.dat (click the clutter bar)

tip: put the skins in some dir (fe. /home/user/MyDocs/skins/) then do:

ty again and again

@KotCzarny
Out of curiosity... Why don't you tag your builds with the version number?
It would be easier to check if there are updates or not.

Then, i'm still hoping you would prepare a deb for the extras-devel repo ;-)

@xes: i don't understand what do you mean by "i'm still hoping you would prepare a deb for the extras-devel repo":

i'm updating it quite often, so check those links if you don't want to repeatedly do apt-get update

also, you can check your pc build with: oscp -h|grep build:
oscp by ariel/KotCzarny v0.9.7 build: 20150307_195529

also, it would be nice to know how many people installed it and tell what they like and what they don't

@endsormeans: good to hear, which features do you like? what do you stll miss? have you tried random skin feature?

The big issue to me is that remote (and its gorgeous skins, BT buttons etc) doesn't launch (and close) the core automatically. So, I need either to let core demonized all the time, which is a waste of resourses, or starting and closing it manually every time, which is a bit annoying. BTW, how I can launch core from a winamp skin ?
Other than that its just perfect. Starts fast, doesn't eat much resources , all interfaces are clean, configureable keyboard shortcuts rules, easy playlists handle and so on.
@kotCzarny, your motivation and coding skills are pretty amazing. Thank you very much for all that.

remember that random skin mode doesn't need them organized, just full paths of the files you want it to choose from so you can simply create bunch of smaller lists then cat them together into ~/.oscp/skins.dat

album art: maybe, personally i just run the player in shuffle mode and do other things, but as i said 'maybe', don't know how it would display without hogging the screen too much
equalizer: maybe, it eats cpu and is easily available when you connect to hifi, but is viable with headphones. but it's in the TODO list already
visualizations: osc integration is also in the TODO
fireworks: see visualizations
popcorn: video play is a bonus, but you can play vids with core on pc connected to tv and control it from n900/n8x0

@saponga: when core is in STOP state it doesn't eat many resources and linux happily can swap it out when not used, so you don't need to launch/kill it repeatedly. when you launch it from gui it's already starting in daemonize mode so you can close gui and it will reconnect after relaunch
as for launching from winamp skin. hum, i'll have to find the place for the button. but as i said, it connects automatically to the last core it was using, so don't kill the core every time and it will be as you want

I'm very sorry for the confusion but your builds don't appear in the latest packages page:
http://maemo.org/packages/
i have to check why.
