I have a request for OMP.

I'll set the scene...
Listening to music in the van via OMP, incoming call interupts the music.
Answer the call, I have to turn the volume up on the radio to hear the phone conversation.
Call comes to an end person hangs up/I reject call.
Instantly before I can react, music resumes at ear bursting volume.
Quickly have to hold the volume down button on the radio.

Is it possible to make OMP delay resuming playback for * seconds?

Ideally if possible, make OMP do a light 'beep' like the FM transmitter in standby does; so you know playback will resume.

I could see this being a potentially useful option for videos too.
If you are interupted by a call mid-video, you many have to set the stand back up or plug in the TV out etc after the call.
While your doing this the video will be playing and you will have to skip back to see what you missed.

something similar to above post happened to me yesterday.

While getting ready for work, I was listening to music using a bluetooth speaker and OMP. Before i left my house, I paused the widget, turned off bluetooth, and closed OMP. When I got to the office, I received a phone call. After pressing end button, boom! the music went off, i panicked, i had to hold down the speakers so it won't be too loud. Then I was able to hit pause on the media player widget.

is this caused by OMP?

Sorry if it was already requested, but can we have an option to disable album arts at all on "now playing" screen? I don't like spending CPU cycles on them

I am sure I had this issue with the MP widget using MP a good while ago. I have reflashed since then and never had an issue.

The only time I have something like this happen with OMP is...
If you listen to music with the headphone jack connected (plugged into a vehicle's radio) and take a call. Then remove the jack mid-call (because you have parked up to get out).
When you end the call the music resumes, because it has not realised the headphones have been unplugged while on the phone.


Have you tried "Car View"

One more small request if possible.
Any chance of an option to make OMP start playing on opening the application?

A couple of releases back.
It lacked some functionality present in the default view and it looks like it's still loading images in the background.

Have almost stopped using the stock player especially after the tweaks that made searching and playing music, loading video thumbnails almost instantaneous..Thanks a lot for that and the regular updates!
If someone could plz clarify, am not able to use the physical keyboard to search for videos while the same works for audio..Makes it cumbersome to browse thru hundreds of vids..
Sorry if someone already raised this earlier as I cldnt find the answer..

Same here and I agree
I can confirm that, text search is not available for videos.

Hi.

I made an QB Widget to switch to a car profile +turn on the FM transmitter + open OMP
Mostly I use OMP in the car, so I wonder if you see a chance for an option to start OMP directly with the car view. Maybe via a command line parameter which I can use with a dbus call?

that sounds really good. May you share the code?

sixwheeledbeast | # 1080 | 2012-06-29, 15:08 | Report

This would be useful.

Something like the above script maybe?
