Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

xes, could your trackerfiles be corrupted? U could try tracker-cfg and rebuild databases, or just reinitialize tracker via xterm (not as root), maybe it helps - maybe not

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

What repos are you lot using?
FAPMAN and HAM are not finding any updates for me for me at all. I've got extras and extras-devel enabled in both Application Managers.

Hmmmm, wasn't aware of that myself. Is there two versions flying around then or has stock O/S support now ceased?

there are now two version of OMP available. 1 is compiled for CSSU-Thumb and one is for everyone. DEB file which is attached in gidzz post is for CSSU-Thumb users. Latest version for everyone (stock maemo, CSSU-Testing and CSSU-Stable) is in extras-devel. If you can't download it from extras-devel, you can find the deb file HERE (taken from extras-devel repo).

Cheers panjgoori.
I'll give that a whizz later. Gonna have to redo all my catalogues to make sure I got the right ones too.

This bug with second launch happens very often (I set OMP as the default player, instead of stock player),
approximately 90-95% of cases. But if the player is already open, the song played normally.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

Trying this out and I like the look of it, think you've done a great job. I do however have one issue, for which I have a workaround, but thought I'd mention it anyway.

I'm using the thumb version, but accidentally installed the non-thumb version first and saw the same behaviour when I initially opened it up, so it's in both.

I have a load of ogg files, and it seems that some of them are picked up by the music indexer and named, and sorted correctly by artist and album.

However many aren't (this may also occur for mp3s but I have many more oggs and haven't yet found an mp3 in the list) and instead are lumped into Unknown Artist and Unknown Album.

I'm think that this is a tag issue as I did do a load of re-tagging of files sometime in the past. However, this is the first player to not pick up the information in these files (eg Someplayer sorts and labels them correctly).

Also, when playing, in Entertainment view, the correct artist and album names are displayed.

I don't tend to use playlists much and tend to listen to albums as a whole, so my workaround is to use "Whole Directory" setting and select album folders from a file manager.

Using mediainfo I can't see any difference in the tags.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried the tracker-process -r option. After restarting OMP it re-indexed the media, but now it doesn't see any of the ogg files.

Was the inclusion of them before a by-product of using SomePlayer or similar?
