[enclose789]

It appears to work on mine, though I didn't try it out very thoroughly. I'll give it a good run and see what it does.

Thank you adf!!

Hi, eviLjazz,

I am thinking of porting this to Debian EABI. Would that be possible? Thanks.

Hi, zdevil,
Yes, it is possible, because I just got it compiled and running on my 3200@Debian(EABI) (with some small tweaks in the .pro and the Makefile)!
Cheers,

Here a screencap of my Debian (armel) build:
 quasar_debian_armel1.png ( 39.54K ) Number of downloads: 31


And the Debian package has been uploaded here: http://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showto...st&p=170927

Thanks, eviLjazz for this great app!

it always shows the information that "mplayer could not be executed or was not found on your system. Would you like to specify the location of the mplayer binary on your system?"

So I go to "tools" --> "configuration" --> "mplayer", I specify the location as "/home/Qtpalmtop/bin/mpegplayer" (I cannot file a file called "mplayer"), then re-play the song. But the same information still shows up.

I still could use the original "Media Player" on my 6000L, please tell me how to specify the location of the mplayer binary. Thanks in advance.

The mplayer I have installed is: mplayer-bvdd version 1.1.5-1. It installed links to itself in several places (/home/Qtpalmtop/bin/ being one of them). I think I downloaded it from here:

Hope this helps.

Thank you the_oak, it works!! Now I could play the mp3 and mpeg files. (I thought that the original "mpegplayer" and "mplayer" are the same file, please forgive me for making such silly mistake.)

But I could not play the mpeg in landscape model (fullscreen). When I played the mpeg files, it shows a small screen (about quarter of the whole screen). I had tried to add "vop=rotate=1" to mplayer.conf on my Z (I refer to this topic "Video playback on the 6000 - OESF Forums"
http://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showto...6000&st=30), however, I could not add those words in it because my mplayer.conf shows malformed characters when I open it with Zedit.

Could someone please tell me how to make it play MPEG in landscape model?? Thanks in advance.

If I remember right, this fb.modes file was necessary. Also you need to check one of my posts in this thread for mplayer options in Configuration settings for Quasar.

I’m so sorry for disturbing you, please do me a favor once you are available again.

Ha, we cited the same thread with different pages.

If I remember right, this fb.modes file was necessary.

Yes, I had already created this file in /etc/.

Also you need to check one of my posts in this thread for mplayer options in Configuration settings for Quasar.

Do you mean this?

For other SL-6000 users information, the mplayer settings I used are:
-vo fbdev -fbmode qvga -vm -vop rotate=1

If yes, I had add this setting in mplayer configuration already. But it doesn't work, I guess it could be that I have not add "vop=rotate=1" in my mplayer.conf successfully.

Due to the mplayer.conf always shows malformed characters when I open it via Zedit, I need someone help me to add "vop=rotate=1" in it and then give it a try. Any suggestions?? Thanks a million!!

I didn't mean that you were disturbing me, I just had an appointment to get to.

If yes, I had add this setting in mplayer configuration already. But it doesn't work, I guess it could be that I have not add "vop=rotate=1" in my mplayer.conf successfully.

I did not enter those options in mplayer.conf. I entered them in Quasar's Mplayer tab on the Tools >> Configuration menu.

My mplayer.conf (in /home/QtPalmtop/etc/mplayer) only contains the following:

CODE

monitoraspect=4:3
#monitoraspect=16:9
#monitoraspect=3:4

Within the Quasar program, click on "Tools" then "Configuration". On the MPlayer tab, put a check in the box beside "Use additional options:"
and put

-vo fbdev -fbmode qvga -vm -vop rotate=1

in the box

My Mplayer location simply says: mplayer

the_oak, thank you very much, now I can play the MPEG file in landscape mode !!

for other 6000L user's reference, below are the steps that I do for my Z (under SharpRom) for playing the musics via Quasar Media Player:

1. Install mplayer-bvdd version 1.1.5-1 (http://atty.skr.jp/pub/zaurus/mplayer/mplayer-bvdd_1.1.5-1_arm.ipk)
2. Install Quasar Media Player.
3. According to gab74's statement, creating fb.modes in /etc/, and it contains the following:

CODE

mode "qvga"
geometry 240 320 240 320 16
timings 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
endmode

4. According to the_oak's statement, creating mplayer.conf in /home/QtPalmtop/etc/mplayer, and it contains the following:

CODE

monitoraspect=4:3
#monitoraspect=16:9
#monitoraspect=3:4

5. According to the_oak's statement, within the Quasar program, click on "Tools" then "Configuration". On the MPlayer tab:
(1)Put a check in the box beside "Use additional options:", and put
"-vo fbdev -fbmode qvga -vm -vop rotate=1"
in the box
(2)Keep the box which below "Mplayer location" simply says "mplayer"

Thanks again, the-oak, you had made my dream come true
Further thanks to eviLjazz and gab74!!

[the_oak]

ZDevil, thanks for porting to Debian EABI! I've updated the download page to point to your binary deb package.

ofels, any news on the OpenEmbedded/Ångström package/recipe?

Btw, for those eager to know what's next, you can always check the Trac timeline for the current status or my Twitter page for more recent information.
I was also entertaining the idea of having nightly builds of Quasar. Right now I'm experimenting with some new features, so it's too early for that, but we'll see...

[johnla]

F*CKIN BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing work!

The recipes are in, now they must be included in the feed build which I forgot to add *sigh*
