Thanks Onyros for the kind words, I appreciate.
And to all the people in the thread.

So after a long busy time, I've packaged the skins that Onyros found, it's in xmms-skins-others.

Also, based on the idea of qwerty12, I've remapped the hardware keys to + and - volume. Having some unexplained problem with pause but should be fine in the next hours, you'll have to update your application list and install version 6 of xmms.
edit:done

Capsule, did you manage? I have no way of testing for 770 or OS2007 sorry. OS2008 should work.

Btw I tried to run crossfade for gapless playing and I didn't manage. What's the trick?

Cheers

Thanks for all the wonderful hard work you've done Free XMMS is one of the most used applications on my N810.

Just one question about this newest version... Has anything changed besides the addition of those skins and the remapping of buttons? I grabbed those skins and installed them myself a while back and I use KDE to map buttons for XMMS so I'm wondering if I need to upgrade or not.

Thanks!

Thanks!
Xmms developpers are little genius, they really did an amazing job when creating this application.

For your question, nothing else changed, here's the changelog:
The advantage of having the xmms-plugins-others package is that in case it gets updated (anybody has more skins to advice?), you'll get it directly from application manager, no need for looking at this (too) long thread.

Haven't you mapped keys to the general volume rather than xmms? I don't see how you can map it to xmms as there is no way to change volume from outside.

Ah I just realized I forgot to package the equalizer_slow_like_hell stuff, have to do this.

On a n800, we still have 2 hardware keys left. What should we map them to? Hum? Opinions?

After a long hiatus, I have reinstalled xmms on my n800, and I'm still faced with the same dilemma(s) I had formerly. The screen I see on bringing it up has a "Play files" designation at the top, with "Directories" and "Files" screens alongside each other. First problem I have is the font size is so small I can barely read it (even with my reading glasses!), and the second, obviously more serious problem is -- how do I work the darned thing? If I click with my stylus on a directory listed in the "Directories" window, nothing happens. None of the files in these directories is then listed in the "Files" window. Basically, how do I scan and play my music???

Close xmms - Erase directory /home/user/.xmms and retry.
What device/OS/theme do you run?
Did you install anything through redpill?
How do you start xmms?


First, hidden directories (ones which begin with a dot) are not shown (either comes from the widget or I can patch that, I'll look at this). As the usual music on devices go to MyDocs/.sounds , you won't see the directory .sounds on the left pane, but you can enter MyDocs and scan this one.

Scan:
It's directly from xmms, not from the big white (awfull) window.
You need to open the playlist window. Bottom left, there is "ADD". Press it and while pressing move up to dir. Then choose your directory to scan


These almond skins are really beautiful.

Actually, I've said complete stupid things again I've edited the changelog which was completly wrong and upper keys does work with ALSA (only fast forward/rewind don't due to strange time error)

If you manage to remap one of the remaining hardwsre keys on the n800 to "queue" selected song, I'll stand on my head and sing the Marsellaise. Backwards.

Free: Thanks for the quick response, even though I'm still having difficulty.

1. I've removed the .xmms directory from /home/user (and I am conversant with directories beginning with a dot).

2. In trying to install xmms I've never (yet) had to resort to the Red Pill mode.

3. My device is N800 and my theme -- who knows? It's the standard.

4. I start xmms through the Extras menu.

5. Now comes the tricky parts (for me). "Open the playlist window." Isn't that the one I'm in, with the white screens? There is no "ADD" on the bottom left, but there is one on the bottom right. And from here I'm not able to find a directory to scan. In my case, all my music is on two mmc's not on any .sounds file in MyDocs! And I can't seem to get into the media (or any other) directory. In short, how can I enter ANY directory to effect a scan. (Also I notice that no keyboard comes up if and when I might want to type in a file name, or anything else for that matter.)

Call me bewildered.

I'm having the same problem(s) also, and my music is also on one of my mmc cards. I think I gave up and uninstalled xmms, but I do like xmms a lot and if I could get it working I'd give it another try.

Grabing my tranquilizers

Ok for your configuration

Look at the copy screen I made. Take some minutes, relax and I'm sure you'll see an add button ;p j/k
When you find it, press it. KEEP IT PRESSED, GO UP TO 'DIR'. Now you'll see your filesystem, go to /media/mmc and click OK.
Yes, xmms GUI is very dense because it does almost everything.. It's art.


/media/mmcXX


Forget about this feature, no text input without virtual keyboard. You don't need this for adding files/dir. It's a pain for creating playlists (you have to create them with editor out of xmms)

Hope you manage
