I'm sorry for being absent for so long, but still I was able to make a few changes to OMP here an there. Unfortunately not many, but so much time has passed since the last update that I'm pushing a new version to the repositories anyway.

Searching in the video browser.
Fixed ghost windows popping up after returning from a video.
Added support for D-Bus calls: open_mp_main_view (from the stock player) and open_mp_car_view (exclusive to OMP).
Fixed uneditable text fields when adding a bookmark from the video window.
Made headers in the radio browser immune to filtering.
Added a few missing keyboard shortcuts.
Updated translations.

I tried various suggestions on how to trigger the bug with a burst of windows, but succeeded only with broken videos. Nevertheless, I suspect the fix is for everyone and I'm looking forward to have it verified.

Due to the nature of this update, open_mp_car_view is only half-finished. It opens the car view, but the list of songs is empty.

QML views are my least favorite part o OMP, so I'm not eager to do it. However, regular Now Playing could use something like that too and then hooking it up to the car view would probably not be much of a hassle.

Such button is in the main menu, which is only a few clicks in the top right corner away from the car view, so it's just adding unnecessary complexity IMO. I also wouldn't like to press it by accident.

Sounds good.

Fading-in would indeed be bad for videos.

The time required to connect to a TV, take a seat or calm down after an exciting call can vary greatly, so maybe not resuming at all is the way to go.

Adjusting volume in MAFW affects the global level.

How can I set custom icons for play/pause buttons in car view?

Icon for the play/pause button is set at runtime, the image specified in the .qml is just for offline preview. It is taken from the current theme.

Maybe a MIME problem?

Video window is opened in case you feed OMP a video stream, so it can be played immediately. If only audio is found, it should seamlessly switch to the radio window (but it does not because playback fails to start).

I think the problem is that MAFW doesn't like it when playback is started early under certain conditions (which are rather foggy to me, but I'll try to sort that out)..

I wonder if you have "Open whole folders" turned on in the settings. If yes, then what happens without it?

Of course, it doesn't bother me (somehow, these bookmarks are related to internet connection and streaming, though they are video bookmarks); just for you to know.

I explained it here (the last paragraph) and the feedback was 100% positive (although only one person cared to share an opinion

The latest build still does not open the audio window, when
gpodder calls it. When I try a second time, it works. But then
the playback is often at beginning, no resuming.
As I said, previous versions (a month ago) did all this without
problems, so it can still be a mafw problem?

The only thing I'm pretty sure of is that it's not something about MIME.

Blaming MAFW is just a guess after having a quick look at it. The symptoms are like those of a problem I had to deal with in the past. When playback refused to start, simply preceding it with a command to get playlist size (and do nothing with the result) magically fixed the issue.

I had a closer look today and this time no magic was necessary, only a workaround for some inconsistency in MAFW.

I was testing it with this:

Code:

dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.mediaplayer /com/nokia/mediaplayer com.nokia.mediaplayer.open_mp_car_view

Only after every single smallest bug is squashed, every reasonable feature implemented and provided I don't have any other things to do.

I'm excited from the dbus call to launch car view directly (I proposed it here few months ago), but when I try the command you specified, nothing happens...

Anyway, thank you.

No problems with this command whatsover here.

Code:

dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.mediaplayer /com/nokia/mediaplayer com.nokia.mediaplayer.open_mp_car_view
method return sender=:1.265 -> dest=:1.262 reply_serial=2

I have exactly the same version as you do, that is

Code:

20120713-1

.
The output of the command is similar:

Code:

method return sender=:1.231 -> dest=:1.304 reply_serial=2

But other than that, nothing happens...

The player doesn't start at all? If it does start, is it OMP or the original? Does anything happen if you execute the command with OMP already running?
