I don't know if I can answer all of your questions, but I think I can help with a few of them.

You might need to add the default directory in the Skin Selector window. I think I had to since I think the default is to show only "/home/user/.xmms/Skins". Click the "Add directory" button and navigate to "/usr/share/xmms/Skins/", then click the OK button. Hopefully you should now see some skins in the upper window.

I think there's a way to import presets from WinAmp into xmms. I have never tried it, but you might look at these instructions.

I have the same problem when I run xmms. HOWEVER, when I use "xmmsctrl" to run xmms, the playlist STAYS. See my post above for info on creating an icon to run xmms using "xmmsctrl".

I don't know the answer to that question. I'm hoping that a newer version will address this issue.

AFAIK, xmms wasn't compiled with hildon support, meaning that you need to either use an external keyboard or try to get some other input method working (such as xkbd or xvkbd).

Two possible problems:
(1) Which packages did you install? If you installed too many, it won't work. I never really tried to figure out which package was causing the problem, but in the end I installed these five packages: xmms, xmms-flac, xmms-mp4, xmms-skins, xmmsctrl.
(2) Did you set the Output Plugin to "eSound Output Plugin" as suggested in the first post? That fixed it for me. You may need to reboot?

Thanks, everything works cept for the equalizer presets (no biggie), the always on top and the keyboard problem. How are people using the scrobbler plugin if they can't type? External BT keyboard?

For the equalizer presets, I followed the instructions given in the link above and they worked just fine for me.

Always on top is _very_ annoying, but I didn't compile the program and I don't know how to fix it. I move it off to the side when necessary, and "minimize" it the rest of the time.

I haven't used the scrobbler plugin so I don't know what it requires. But keep in mind that n810 users don't have "keyboard envy" like us n800 users.

The visualizations are not working for me. Nor are the levels showing under the track time.

Hi!

Sooooooooooooooo fun

(edit) xmms running fine with a playlist of 36,100 sids (that's about 2400 hours )
(edit) for stereo sound, hit ctrl-P, select the XMMS-SID input plugin, select Configure, click 'ok' to get rid of the top window, then on the right hand side click 'stereo'.

I'm running XMMS 1.2.10 on an N810 running OS2008 (Chinook 2007.50-2)

I installed the following yesterday:

• xmms
• xmms-flac
• xmms-mp4
• xmms-skins
• xmmsctrl

I'm seeing the same issue. The volume and balance sliders move, but have no affect on the audio.

The D-Pad "up" and "down" buttons seem to be recognized, but in an odd way. Pressing the "down" button sets the volume slider to 0%, but has no affect on the audio level. Pressing the "up" button sets the volume slider to 1%, but has no affect on the audio level.

The "Escape" (curved arrow) hardware button does nothing within XMMS.

The "full screen" hardware button activates the "pause" function.

The "+" and "-" buttons activate the next track/previous track functions.

Any suggestions for getting the volume control working within XMMS? It's very difficult to use the program without an easy way to adjust the volume.

Try it first without any other programs running.

Also make sure to set the Output Plugin to "eSound Output Plugin". That fixed the volume slider for me. (You may also need to reboot?)

That's it exactly! The D-Pad volume control and sliders for volume & balance now work fine, and the vizualization now displays. No need to reboot.

Many thanks!

<tease>hmm, i see you use xmms for at least 2 months and haven't fixed those gtk1 dialogs? i did it already also i have found a fix for a segfault when trying double size mode</tease>
