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

Starting a playlist directly now crashes OMP immediately with this error:

I get segfault when I try to delete an album. Maybe something to look into.

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.

Maybe it is a good idea to look at osso-calculator CSSU replacement here, lines

Code:

#ifdef Q_WS_MAEMO_5
        if ( name.at(0).isDigit() || name == "calc_bv_tr_decimal" )
                setObjectName("HILDON-WIDGET-hildon-accent-button");
        else
                setObjectName("HILDON-WIDGET-hildon-button-stylus");
#endif

By setting objectName to something which starts with HILDON-WIDGET- you are automatically applying hildon theme for that widget. Of course one needs to have CSSU installed this to take effect

Anyone experiencing not saved settings with the latest gidzzz's version (haven't tried any other version tbh)?

Edit: Running omp as root saves settings. I think it is a permissions problem, as first run was as root. Anyone knows where omp keeps it's settings?

Edit 2: It gets the settings from /root/.config/MohammadAG/mediaplayer.conf but it seems that without running the app as root from terminal it is not accessible (makes sense if running as user, but I think that running an app from menu gives it root access...) Will try to investigate further...

Edit 3: Copied manually mediaplayer.conf from root to user and works fine!

I don't get what's the real benefit of this. Wouldn't I still need to get the secondary color from QMaemo5Style::standardColor() and assign it to a text, just like it is done now?

I followed your instructions from this thread and also tested with FileBox, but I'm unable to reproduce that.

Probably.

That's been already asked and answered here a few times... This application doesn't do any playback on its own, so it's not a place for an equalizer.

Is this happening with others too...?

Yes, I'll look into that.

Most probably not, depends on the case. It is not only about the colors, hildon themes use graphics too. So you can just check what gtkrc style is used for each widget in stock MP and use the same, without parsing resource files and including support for every possible theme. And have in mind that when user changes the theme, OMP will immediately use new shapes/frames/colors/graphics/etc. Another benefit is that sapwood(hildon theme engine) caches images, so no extra memory is needed, while loading pixmaps from QT wastes memory. Try it , you will see it is very useful. And 99 percent of the code related to themes is removed.

NOTE - for now only QPushButton, QCheckBox and similar(all buttons in general) support this feature. If it is not enough and you think you will need additional widgets to support this(QLabel?), PM me, I will implement such support.

Yes, I've noticed the same problem.

I've edited my post with a solution. Try this:
Run mediaplayer as root, save some settings and exit. Then run this as root:

Code:

mkdir /home/user/.config/MohammadAG/
cp -f /root/.config/MohammadAG/mediaplayer.conf /home/user/.config/MohammadAG/

ignore folder exists error on first command.
