From the other news, it's about time for a now build and the accompanying changelog.

Fixed excessive CPU usage by too many instances of the playlist state indicator being animated.
Playlist state indicator is hidden while scrolling, dedicating more CPU time to smooth browsing.
Colors aren't hardcoded anymore, they should match your theme.
Adaptive loading for the playlist in "Now playing" window. Visible and sorrounding items are loaded first, so even if you throw your whole library at it, there's only little to no waiting time for the items to be filled with song info. I haven't had any problems for a few days, but keep an eye on your playlist and please report any inconsistencies if they occur.

thank you for fixing the "now playing" icon and the color schema

but i'm still seeing some hardcoded colors, in the main scren and the now playing screen

here some screenshots (see gray text, should be blue)

once again, thanks for all your hard work =)

This works with stock player (though I've found no way to start in shuffle mode), but with OMP, only the first song in the playlist is loaded. Weird.

Sorry for being a bit off topic, but I had more or less the same issue regarding the shuffle feature (stock media player).
I was able to solve the issue by enabling shuffle after starting playback. Try the following lines:

Code:

run-standalone.sh dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.mediaplayer /com/nokia/mediaplayer com.nokia.mediaplayer.mime_open string:"file:///media/mmc1/music/Mix.m3u"
sleep 5
run-standalone.sh dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.mafw.playlist /com/nokia/mafw/playlist/1 com.nokia.mafw.playlist.shuffle string:"is-shuffled"

Remaining issue was that playback always started with the same song. I solved this by "pre-shuffling" my playlist with a bash script (I know that's a bit wired, because playlist is shuffled twice). I'm also not using the mentioned "fixed" sleep value. Instead I'm requesting the playback status and enable shuffling as soon as playback starts.

Hope that helps.

Stay off-topic all you want if this is the result. Thanks a lot, that really helped.

For me, stock player only loads the first song and I can't even play it, but I guess that doesn't matter, because now OMP supports it.

Shuffling should work too, if the player is set to shuffle.

Ooops... All the themes I have installed have gray as the secondary color and I didn't know about a few places to check out. Hopefully this time everything's alright.

To sum up:

Support for opening M3U playlists.
Removed more hardcoded colors.
Small adjustments to the look of "Now playing" window.
Radio playback starts automatically.
