media player control via hardware buttons
 

here are my questions:

Is the media player widget open source????????

I know that the media player is closed source, but if the widgets for the media player is open source, and whether you may be able to make script or deamon , which will allow the hardware buttons to control play, pause, fast forward and rewind, stop, next - previous song ... ?

hmmm????

if someone could make something that made half-pressing the camera button control the music that would be awesome.
for example single press to play pause, double press for next song.

There is a way to control the hardware buttons on the N900, but I wonder: if you can not control the media player alone, you may be able to control the widget instead...

again: hmmm??? O_o

increase and decrease the volume with the buttons when the device is locked is a feature of pr 1.2 but i'd like to see next/previous track with hardware buttons comming too

Re: media player control via hardware buttons
 

well, yes...
you can decrease volume by simply taking the earphones out of your ears, and if you want to play next track, you must unlock the phone... :P

Re: media player control via hardware buttons
 

so...
may i ask question again (please don't be mad at me) : can we control media player widget with hardware buttons, and how can we do that???

if someone know, please reply! thx! :)

please, does anybody know if it is posibile????
thx ;)

You can already skip to the next and previous tracks using the hardware keyboard's left and right arrow keys.

Re: media player control via hardware buttons
 

no idea how to do it, but what would be good is:

- long press of zoom (-/+) buttons to change track
- double press power button to play/stop

Re: media player control via hardware buttons
 

huh, didnt know that........ space is stop/play

but whole idea is that phone is locked

Re: media player control via hardware buttons
 

i know... but i want to do that with a volume buttons (and camkey button for play maybe....)
that would be cool... so i know that MP app is not open, but maybe MP widget is.... but, i couldn't find anywhere a prof for that... :P

Re: media player control via hardware buttons
 

half press camera plus volume to ffwd rew next track, would be cool

Re: media player control via hardware buttons
 

anything of that would be cool,... but... IS IT POSIBLE????

Re: media player control via hardware buttons
 

I don't know about buttons, but you can control the multimedia system (including the player). There is an API for it: http://maemo.org/api_refs/5.0/5.0-final/mafw/.

Re: media player control via hardware buttons
 

what???????
O.o
sorry slobodsky, but i don't understand.....

Re: media player control via hardware buttons
 

It's because this is a programmer's point of view, not the user's.:)

I don't know how to get signals from the hardware buttons when the phone is locked. I think it's possible, but I don't know how to do it.

There is an official library for controlling the media player. You don't need the sources of the player or the player widget. But someone have to write a program for it.
