Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

the problem is not a track number or the metadata
i fixed the sorting problem in the Qt Creator...

- singlealbumview.ui
- singleplaylistview.ui

i enabled the option "sortingEnabled" in Object: songList -> Class: QListWidget

- singleartistview.ui
- singleplaylistview.ui

i enabled the option "sortingEnabled" in Object: albumList -> Class: QListWidget

after this modifications all files ( albums, artists, songs, etc. ) are sorted correctly

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

No, they're not. It causes the lists to be sorted alphabetically, thus it only works if you have a number in every title. If you have correct metadata, it actually breaks the proper order.

Moreover, I've got 5 files: "101.mp3", "102.mp3", "103.mp3", "201.mp3", "202.mp3". They have no metadata and in the browser they are displayed in the correct order (it's only 5 files, might be random ;) ). Maybe it's not just that you don't have track numbers assigned, but rather have them assigned incorrectly.

So, I'd rather say check your metadata.

Edit: Yep, it was random. :p

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

short mp3 file description:

filename:

101 Artist - Titel.mp3

metadata:

titel: 101 Artist - Titel.mp3
interpret: Albumname
album: Albumname
genre: Pop

no Tracknumbers are defined in metadata

the quintessence is, that he sorts the songs acc. the metadata "titel" from 1, 2, 3, ... till z ( my experience with no assigned tracknumbers )

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

I've fixed that locally but my git setup is messed up right now (for qt-mediaplayer at least).

Anyway, QListWidget shouldn't do the sorting to match the stock player, MAFW should, you can pass "+title" in mafw_source_browse's sorting parameter to get a sorted reply (one of the lists does this already, singlealbumwindow.cpp I think)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

Exactly. :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

There were some good things brewing on git and I think it's about time to post a build for people who don't like compiling. ;)

• Option to enable/disable lyrics (I decided to disable by default, as this is a feature depending on Internet connection).
• Smarter playlist (re)loading and small bugfixes in "Now playing".
• Smooth cover art and thumbnails.
• Changing cover art also generates a thumbnail for album browser.
• Cover art detection supports "cover.jpg" and "front.jpg".
• Fixed lyrics reloading.
• Fixed shuffle always starting with the same item.
• Fixed playback not starting after shuffling an album.
• Improved sorting order when browsing an album.
• More bugfixes, this list is already too long. :p

And one last thing... There was a strange bug when choosing a song from "All songs". I'm not sure if I really fixed it, so I've got a request for people with big libraries (about 3000 songs, more is better): go to "All songs", scroll to the very end, select one of the songs and see if playback starts correctly.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

Thanks alot for investing your time in this :)

Is it possible to make OMP take CD Number Sorting in the IDv3 tags under consideration? it messed up quite a few of my albums.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

Does stock player do that? Unless I overlooked something, MAFW doesn't support fetching such metadata and things get a bit complicated. It would have to be extracted manually and slow things down. Although one album might have not enough songs to make it noticable.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

Sorry for asking but is --desktop-file suppose to add an icon to the desktop?
When I run sh install_mediaplayer.sh --desktop-file i get this --->
NowPlayingIndicator::autoSetVisibility
Is the omp.png supposed to be entered somwhere in the command?

Thanks, looks really promising :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player
 

"--desktop-file" installs a file that can be picked up by the menu system, so OMP is available from the applications menu or can placed as a shortcut on the desktop, just like any other shortcut. "omp.png" icon is copied automatically to its destination if you use "--desktop-file".
