To add more to the good news, I've got an update.

Support for pluggable, dynamically loaded lyrics providers.
Plugins for AZLyrics, ChartLyrics, LyricsDB (the old integrated provider, now improved), LyricsWiki.
Increased the space for lyrics in the lyrics editor.
Added a shortcut to save changes in the lyrics editor (Ctrl+S).
Saving empty lyrics in the lyrics editor deletes the lyrics file.
Changed the lyrics cache format and location ("/home/user/.cache/openmediaplayer/lyrics/"), and added a plugin to read lyrics from the previous directory.
Moved the configuration file to "/home/user/.config/openmediaplayer/openmediaplayer.conf".
"Open whole folders" option works for videos.
Fixed the endless loading icon after opening a whole folder.
Added a note in the settings dialog to warn about libplayback conflicting with the wired headset button.

There are two things that I'd like to say something about. First of all, if you want to keep your settings, move them to the new location:

Code:

mkdir /home/user/.config/openmediaplayer/;
mv /home/user/.config/MohammadAG/mediaplayer.conf /home/user/.config/openmediaplayer/openmediaplayer.conf

Secondly, you might remember that some time ago MohammadAG proposed plugins as a way of supplying lyrics. Finally that idea comes to life and the repositories too.

Lyrics providers can be configured in the main settings window. If you enable more than one provider, the first one in the list will be queried first, if it fails then the second, and so on.

The new offline cache is incompatible with the old one, but worry not. If you don't want to start afresh, go to the settings and enable the lyrics provider called "OMP pre-20120803 offline cache". Otherwise you can delete the old lyrics directory:

Code:

rm -r /home/user/.lyrics/

New sources of lyrics can be added quite easily (and only enabled plugins stay in the memory), so if there's a source that you'd like to see in OMP, let me know (or add it yourself: https://gitorious.org/qt-mediaplayer.../master/lyrics). Only online sources are cleanly supported for now, but another update might also enable importing cache of your favorite media player from PC, for example.

I can listen to a playlist on shuffle for a number of days, normally either "Most Played" or "Never Played".
After say roughly 5 days, OMP takes ages to open and when it does, magically I am back at the start of the playlist with all the same songs in the same order.
I know it's not got to the end of the list as I currently have 2457 never played tracks.
I am guessing this has nothing to do with OMP, correct?

If you mean that a random playlist does not span all songs and creates a loop, that's probably MAFW, because OMP only tells it to enable the shuffle mode and doesn't care what MAFW does with it. I don't know where the prolonged startup comes from.

He gidzzz,
Thanks for another update. I wanted to update the translation I maintain, but the term like "Lyrics providers/Only local cache" are not translatable (yet)?

Gidzzz I sometimes get the message "="en" dir="ltr"> after OMP tries to fetch the lyrics. I tried both German and English translation. Any clue?

Playing a shuffled playlist before the playlist has complied the songs list, causes OMP some trouble.

Code:

Tried this a few times, either ...
*the player locks up with grey text
*starts playing with grey text (but no buttons work)
*playlist starts fine but doesn't completely complie the playlist so only some of the songs "325" of the 2420 are included in the playlist.

If either option 1 or 2 only a restart will fix.

Looks like the LyricWiki plugin failing to detect that lyrics don't exist. I will fix that for an update later today or tomorrow.

Do the lockups happen often compared to just incomplete playlist? I tried a dozen times and couldn't reproduce any fatal case. Does it depend on the playlist type (automatic/saved)? How long did you wait before restarting the player?

Less often.

Just tried it now and got the more often "option 3" now

Code:

$ /usr/bin/openmediaplayer

MainWindow::onSourceUpdating( progress = 0 , processed_items = 0 , remaining_items = 0 , remaining_time = -1 ) 
MainWindow::onSourceUpdating( progress = 100 , processed_items = 0 , remaining_items = 0 , remaining_time = 0 )

Open OMP
Select playlist
Select Never Played
Select Shuffle
Only 325 songs out of 2417 in the playlist.

If I get the not responsive "grey text of doom" issue I normally wait one track (3 minutes or so) then give up and restart.

Hope this helps.

I tried again and again, and again with different settings... and still there's no grey text. :<

As promised, I just uploaded an update that should fix LyricWiki, but it takes care of some other bugs as well.

Fixed LyricWiki plugin not recognizing missing lyrics properly and made it ignore incomplete lyrics.
Fixed a crash that could occur when rapidly switching songs with online lyrics active.
Somewhat faster (mainly more responsive when searching) radio browser, video browser and UPnP browser.
Headers in the video browser are not displayed if there's only one category.
Made playlist browser headers immune to filtering.
Got rid of the imported playlists header and an empty playlist appearing even if there are no imported playlists.
Restored seamless refreshing in the radio browser that probably got lost a few updates ago.
Updated translations.

Okay so I can't reproduce grey text only happen when you least expect it

Still have to wait for the playlist to load the 2417 songs before pressing shuffle or the complete list is not played.

I have all my music on uSD but I can't see that making a difference.
All settings checked (except lyrics and continuous video)

I have modified OMP's .desktop so it always runs a terminal if I get any more silly things happening I'll let you know (with debug info).

/usr/share/applications/hildon/openmediaplayer.desktop

Code:
