You can just post any bugs here.

Looks great!

I'm quite a modest video player user with mobile, but I do use it... I only need few videos in the phone that I watch. The stock video player is just great for me except for one thing: it's damn hard to seek to a wanted position, as there's no "jump 10 seconds forward, 5 seconds back" buttons or something similar, so that position can be changed more accurately. I think Jakiman already had commented on that.

Well, once the auto-rotation during video playback can be turned off (It is super annoying), maximum brightness can be set (I hate how you can't set desired brightness in N9. I don't care about battery life, I want max brightness!) and resume function working (for obvious reasons), I will be a very happy chappy. =)

For now, is there a way to launch multiple instances of OVP? This will allow me to open a different video on each one so that I can pause them and resume playback of more than 1 video.

I've already included the option to lock orientation during playback in the next update. I also have the scrolling titles and the use of the filenames rather than the embedded titles.

I'm not sure if there is a way to force enabling of multiple instances from the command line. However, you can always edit the .desktop file located at

**** you no good devs should work with crap like WP!

I would mind pay FOSS devs continue working with Maemo+ŚwipeUI+Qt. I hope this app will be uploaded to nokiastore and Marxian makes good money on it! (Hint: With lowest possible price every damn intresed person buys it

Android and WP can burn in hell!!

You are my hero. Awesome job Marxian.

Now some other final touches I would like you to consider.
- Sorry for being so demanding. Hope you don't mind.
- I watch a lot of videos with my N9 on the go.
- Persistent resume function is still on top priority for me...

1. While playing a video, if you tap the screen once, the video controls show up. Can this be made so that it doesn't auto-hide? I do a lot of seeking back/forth and so it gets very annoying when it just auto-hides after a couple of seconds. I would like it so you tap video to show the controls for as long as you like, then when done with it, tap video again to make it hide. (this should also fix the annoyance where you can't go back to the list while the video is paused as the back button doesn't show up while video is paused in landscape mode and only option is to play the video again...)

2. When the video is minimized, the live thumbnail reverts back to portrait mode even though I've locked it to landscape only during video playback. Can this be changed so it stays in full sized landscape-oriented even for the live-thumbnail?

3. Is it possible to have another thumbnail size / view for the list? Like a mini-thumbnail mode where you see a tiny thumbnail on the left and show file name on the right like a list view? Like this sorta. (hope you get what I mean ) It will allow to see more of the longer file name even without scrolling and can fit more videos in a single screen.



btw, I can confirm that it now auto-resumes the playback to the right point after an incoming phone call.

Also, do you have any paypal donation link etc?
I can donate a small amount... (at least $5 for now. =P)

I will add persistent resume as soon as I figure out how to do it. The API I'm using atm doesn't access the correct attribute for the resume position, so I'll have to access the tracker some other way in order to retrieve/set the value (and file a bug against QtGallery).

I will add an option to disable auto-hiding of playback controls in the next update.

The task switcher forces the application into portrait mode when minimized. I don't know of a way to override this, except on the N950 when the keyboard is open.

I can do that easily enough. I'll add it for the next update.

Thanks. My PayPal donation link is here, although I may follow mikecomputing's advice and submit it to Nokia Store for 1 euro, so people can choose to support the project that way (plus it will be exposed to people who don't visit TMO or install applications from non-store sources). The free option will always remain.
