I have now used OVP properly during my train trip to work and here's my findings/requests/gripes: (loving the app btw!)

1. While playing a video, if a call comes in and after hanging up, the video starts back from the beginning. (I guess that's related to the meta info issue you are referring to. Hope you can figure this out soon as it can get quite annoying. hehehe.)

2. Is it possible to disable auto-rotation and lock it to landscape during video playback? I would like an option for this as it can get really annoying it constantly changing orientation while I'm carrying it in my hand while walking etc. I rather it be fixed full screen landscape while playing. (even for task switcher thumbnail)

3. Is it possible to make the video names to just always display the "file" name. (it seems to sometimes show some embedded name instead which I don't want. This also happens with default video player)

4. Also, can the video file name auto-scroll sideways (can scroll fairly fast) so I can see the whole thing?

I have noticed that with some videos (in particular YouTube videos in 480p). In those cases, I get the following error:

I'm not sure why it does this. I don't have a sim card in my N950 (the device won't reliably hold a 3g signal), so I haven't tested for this behaviour. I should set the video to pause when a call is received.

You can lock the orientation to landscape-only, but the setting is applied across the application, rather than to video playback specifically. I can add another setting easily enough.

I use the title that is reported by the tracker. I can change it to use the filename.

I'm not sure about doing this for all videos in the list simultaneously. Having said that, there are only a few delegates instantiated at any one time, so it shouldn't be too bad. I can set it so the animation only takes place when the view is stationary, so it won't affect scrolling performance.

do i need to install anything else for this to work? i am not seeing anything on the screen when a video is playing, audio is fine.

EDIT: OVP can play the other video that came with the device (the dolby soundscapes clip) but not the nokia pure video

I have all my videos on dlna server. N900 could play them, N9 not

Nokia (or someone else) should do DLNA support for N9 also.

Does it support WebM?

There's no official port of Qt on either of those platforms.
And seriously, Qt beats those SDKs to the bone.

I doubt a guy like Marxian NEEDS Qt although it is awesome. C# is simple enough that is an assumption though
