@trevarthan: I've been considering most of the ideas you have. I will be implementing them slowly. Although, I am curious why would you want to have the play/pause button larger. I intended the rocker middle button to be the primary play/pause button (thus the button on screen is merely for displaying status)
I will be implementing the #1 part for the next release. I've wanted to do #5 and #10 for a long time, just haven't thought it's really that important. #9 is definitely high up in my to-do list. I will try to release on Wednesday.
#6 cannot be really implemented without a current song view. I Won't be doing that for quite some time. It would be interesting though. Or maybe I could do that for songs that are over 15 minutes long. Hmm.. I'll consider it for a soonish release.
I take it that #4 is out of the interest for drivers. Tuomas Kuosmanen has been asking for the same feature.
@jmk:
ukmp doesn't have any configs at all yet. You can just uninstall it and re-install. Also, remember to check that you have python installed on your device.
If it's still not opening, open xterm and run /usr/bin/MediaCenter.
You should be able to see on the command line what seems to be the problem. Please let me know what it was, as I'm very eager to try to keep the application as stable as possible.
Where does UKMP store its configs? I want to do clean install. It just doesnt start anymore when i upgraded to 1.1.
I just realized that if there is a corrupt cover file, that might cause some problems starting ukmp. In that case, delete your cover files in the installation. Also, if the sound system is jammed somehow, or your MMC card is in read-only mode, you may need to restart your n800.
I don't think it has a config. Everything is hard coded. It stores cover images in
/media/mmc1/covers if it can. Run `MediaCenter` from an xterm and post the message
it gives when it dies (all of it). Chances are that it's a unicode issue with your id3 tags.
Python is quirky about that.
One question ... playing ogg files, the music stops at the end of each track, rather than continuing onto the next track in the list.
Is that expected behaviour at this stage of development?
Cheers,
Mike.
It's what I call a missing feature
I don't have oggs myself, so testing of ogg support has been so far done by a single file, thus I didn't notice such a problem. I'll fix it to Wednesdays release 1.2.
1.2 version includes Party (or queue) mode. Also supports cover.jpg files in mp3 folders. Will skip any folders titled: Maps. This improves living besides maemo mapper. Accidental clicks in cover view are handled a bit better.
Unfortunately, OGG play next song automatically functionality didn't cut it to the release. Maybe the next one then.
Also, I couldn't include the deletion functionality yet, as I haven't figured out a nice way to do it. As anybody can guess, deleting involves one line of code in pretty much every language, so it's not that it's hard. Also this is up for the next release if possible. I'll be
Hmmm.... looks like 1.2 reads my cover.jpg files into memory, then attempts to resize them and write them out to /media/mmc1/covers/. Unfortunately it isn't writing my cover.jpg's as proper jpeg format files, therefore it can't read them and I can't open them in Gimp on my desktop PC.
In addition, I didn't receive an email notification for your post yesterday, although I'm subscribed to this thread as "instant email notification" and I've received notifications before. Odd.

...i also can't see my cover.jpg's (I can see only a CD symbol).
But the N800 picture viewer is able to open the "new" cover files!
