Yes - when you run the script the second time, as the root user, the script will apply the change (ie. remove rswitch) that is detailed in step 7. The script, when run as root, will also install the three deb packages that were downloaded when you first ran the script as the non super user.

The script should be fully restartable - that is, if you have a network error or file system error (ie. lack of space) you should be able to rerun the script until successful completion.

If you follow my instructions as I have listed them in post #26 you should end up with a fully installed a2dp solution - the only thing you need to do is identify your BT address.

NOTE: The two lines in my instructions that begin with "#" are comments - you don't need to enter these at the xterm prompt. If you execute the lines that are not comments as I have specified them, you should be good to go in a few minutes.

Hello. I just installed latest Kagu version. I succesfully scanned my memory card, but when I try to launch the player all I get is a black screen and need to manually close the application. Any clue of what is happening? I tried launching it via command-line and I see a couple warnings about joystick and cdrom modules not loaded but no errors are shown. I get the black screen and that's it. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

You're the first user to report such an issue. Can you tell me about your tablet? Info I need:

1.) What IT OS version?
2.) 770 or n800?
3.) Do you have python 2.5 installed?

Those cdrom warnings on startup can be safely ignored, BTW. Also, you might try a reboot of the tablet. perhaps it's in an odd state?

as it says in the instructions:

Code:
sudo gainroot
If you haven't installed the becomeroot package, you can by adding the following repository to application manager then installing the package "becomeroot":

Web Address: http://eko.one.pl/maemo
Distribution: bora
Components: user


I'm about to start a new thread with details of a modified (simplified) a2dp installation process. I'll soon remove all previous instructions from this thread and point to the new thread.

EDIT: See this thread for full install instructions. Please comment in this new thread if you have any problems or suggestions.

I've got a2dp working nicely now but does kagu support playing random files off the memory card or can you only queue up an album at a time? If not, I'm going to look at adding that as I know python quite well and I'll send a patch if i think it will be useful to anyone else...

I find the performance a little poor at present but I have 180 mp3s on my memory card which might be causing it (loading kagu player seems to take 60 seconds or so).

Thanks,
Nick

Not yet. It's not that we don't want to, just that we haven't had time yet.

Yes, please do so! I think you'll find the code base very sane and serviceable. You can find SVN checkout instructions here. When you've got a patch, send it in an email to jesse@guardiani.us and I'll look it over.

Try the new 1.0.2 release (just released today)! It has a bunch of performance and memory enhancements over the old 1.0.1. BTW, we've got a new thread for 1.0.2 here.

I'll get on to it then... I've already had a look through the code so I'll hopefully get something done shortly...

I was actually using 1.0.2 but it seems that the song collection I had was causing Kagu to run really slow. That said it was a completely random selection with probably 100 different albums and only a couple of tracks in each.

Good work so far... just a few more features and I'll be really happy

Thanks,
Nick

Sorry about that! I moved the guardiani.us domain to a new server along with moving the kagu site to http://kagumedia.com. I must have missed that file in the move. It's back now. Please let me know if you notice anything else broken.

Thanks!
