maemo.org - Talk - [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

i could recommend you to use only smaller album art in portrait... leave a landscape the same size.
we still need a tap on it to toggle between pls and slider.

still i must point out that slider and rest of the things in now playing (scrolling pls and selecting tracks) is not so responsive.

let me describe problem: when i want to scroll a track, it moves slider to desired time, than after a half of second, it put it back where it was, and it has not gone to the desired time...
maybe it is depending on a pressure (????)

and just to point out a small glitch: a slider is shrieked when a number of digits is increased in left of slider (current time)

aaaaaaand, some album arts it wont display (???)

all the rest works just fine ;)
keep up the good work

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

well, i finally tried this new mediaplayer a few days ago, and it works as i expected, perfectly! really amazing work guys

i have a bug/request, i was thinking if posting it or not, but as this was intended to be a fullly replacement for mediaplayer, i think this should be solved

the secondary text color (the gray text) should be taken from the theme color scheme, instead of being always gray

here you have an example of what i'm saying, with the open worldclock by cepiperez, look at the pictures, the secondary text in my theme is blue.

also another bug (i think that was already mentioned) is that the "now playing" icon (the blue square with the white circle with a play that shows at the right bottom corner) should hide when i press the list to browse the songs, and should be visible again when i release it.

hope i've been clear describing the bugs, i'm sorry but english is not my first language

once again thank you guys for all your work in this new open media player

It shouldn't be too far now from being considered stable.

Great work!

A real advancement on the stock player. The only concern about omp I have at the moment is that it's somewhat cruel on the battery. Omp is using around 70%, whereas the stock player only needs 30-40% playing the same track. Is that likely to improve?

I've investigated it the first time you noticed this and the slider doesn't always send a signal when it is moved, I don't know why. However, signals for pressing/releasing are always emitted. They can be used in a workaround, but still I'd like to discover why it doesn't work in its current state.

Yes, I think I've fixed that today. :)
