Re: Kagu Media Player 1.0.10 Released!

After upgrading from 1.0.9 to 1.0.10, I found that Kagu would stop after playing just the first track from my playlist. Is anyone else seeing this? It may be relevant that all my tracks are Ogg...

Re: UKMP 1.6 is out

I'm very much enjoying UKMP 1.7 on my N800.

Sometimes, though, I feel that I could use a manual; I'm not sure how to do things that should probably be obvious.

For example (1): how do I quit...

Re: Mplayer and keyboard questions

When I had this problem, it was because I had missed the option for generating an index, when running mencoder.

Red face Guile-Maemo Metronome

I've written a very simple, visual-only metronome application. It's written in Guile Scheme, so requires a few prior package installs, some of which can't be done using Application Manager. It also...

Re: MPlayer which version is suitable

Thanks Serge, that was the clue that I needed. I recently switched to a different computer for doing encoding, and it looks like seeking doesn't work for all the files that I've encoded since then. ...

Re: MPlayer which version is suitable

Is there a known reason for seeking not working with some files?

Seeking usually works for me, but for one particular file it doesn't: nothing happens when I press the D-Pad left, right, up and...

Re: Using N800 for financial web sites

I regularly use my N800 (and also 770) to access my bank's website. Works beautifully. My bank is Lloyds TSB, so not one of the ones you list - but I hope this report is somewhat positive.

Re: Does your N800 have a touchscreen issue?

Well I don't have a fixed screen yet, but the guys in the service centre were familiar with the N800, and seemed confident that all that was needed was to replace the screen component. They don't...

Re: Does your N800 have a touchscreen issue?

Thank you.



Which is fine, so long as there is an effective procedure for handling an individual return. As it happens, there is a Nokia service centre less than 5 minutes walk from my house,...

Re: New Media player for N800 / IT 770

Aha, I see! I had assumed incorrectly that you would be using libid3, as I believe that is pre-installed on the N800.



Thank you!



Yes, I can see the attraction of a pure Python approach.

Re: New Media player for N800 / IT 770

Re: New Media player for N800 / IT 770

It looks as though you would get this automatically if you used taglib for tag access instead of id3lib, and there is (apparently) a Python binding for taglib. See...

First is the GStreamer / Media Player / mime type support for...

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out

For what it's worth, I was impressed by how smooth the upgrading was.

Re: A maemo-ized UMPC

I don't see this at all. I'm using the --preset=good option of 770-encode.pl; perhaps that's a significantly lower resolution than you are using?



Agreed here. Mplayer is better though.
