Kino2 0.4.2 Is Out

mplayer only recognizes version 1 of mp3 tags, that maybe your problem. Make sure you have both versions present in your files.

All MP3s with ID3v1 are working just fine now. (AAC is a different story. Oh, well.)  Thanks!

Regarding AAC - run mplayer with -v (verbowse) parameter and paset output here. I may be able to add support for AAC tags to kino2 if mplayer parses them:

Code: [Select]
mplayer -v -identify your_aac_music_file

Not here, ask mplayer developers. I don't touch mplayer sources, I just use the binary

The mplayer doc says:
"MPlayer is a movie and not a media player, although it can play some audio file formats"
There's a couple of OSS libs that read ID3v2 and APEv2 tags, want me to investigate?

Well, you can, but I will not add this to kino2 anyway, only if it gets merged into mplayer code. I don't want to complicate kino2 even more - I want to keep it a font end to mplayer.

more feedbacks from 6k users:

1)screen is painted after playback. have to open something up or rotate to refresh the screen or fumble around to find the correct button. no biggie, but kinda annoying.

2)what's the erasor? button next to "-" and "up" buttons for? Everytime I click it the kino GUI freezes. I'm able to open the console to kill kino2. The icon is still on the bottom bar even after i killed kino2. However the next click of that icon bring's kino2 back alive.

3)I'd like to see a toggle in front of "options for mplayer". So I don't need to delete and retype the whole thing I pass to mplayer when I test different combinations. currently i put a "#" infront of my advanced options to deactivate it.

4)the -vf scale=480:640 maybe quite a stretch for 6k without hardware acceleration or overlock.  let scale=360:480 maybe more realistic under the current status.

5)it took 1-2 sec to load the "preferences" page, is this normal?

The scaling issue is a bit depressing.

Worse, i don't quite undestand how these things are done on a 6k.  For example--if I want to play doom, i use the "zoom" feature  which presumably executes some qcop stuff I haven't looked up and re renders the screen to 320x240.  Is this done the same way scaling in mplayer is done? I understand that mplayer scaling is a matter of remapping 1/4 vga to vga, for example. Does the "zooming" simply do the same kind of remapping to a vga screen, or when zoomed is the Z actually drawing a qvga display without any intermediate steps?

I realize this is imprecise, but I'm not sure what if any difference there is,and thought that maybe if zooming made the 6k a real qvga device that kino could benefit from using that feature.

This happens for me too when I run player with fbdef video driver, even on C750. Will see what I can do...

This button removes all items from the playlist. And it even works for me

Good idea. However your workaround is almost as good

Yes, the preferences GUI is pretty complicated, so it takes a while for QT to build it and then load with settings...

Playlist frustration solved!

Every time I opened a playlist, Kino2 would shut down after listing the songs.

I figured out that if I use the Enter key to select the play list, Kino2 will shut down after it imports the playlist. If I use the space key it is happy. (I often do everything with the keyboard, never pulling the stylus out.)

Very odd, but maybe it is a Qtopia thing. Just thought I'd point it out in case others find the same issue.

Very strange, but thanks for reporting , I'll look into that.

Thanks for all the hard work on improving this application! It works now without any problem fullscreen on my Sharp ROM SL-C760.
I am particularly pleased that I can use Kino to listen to streaming audio. I was able to enter a URL from Shoutcast and listen to it even at 128 kps.
After entering a URL, the audio stream is added to the playlist. When I save the playlist, I see that the URL has been added to the file, but when the playlist is opened again after re-starting the application, Kino is unable to import the URL into the playlist (only my local audio files appear). I would really like to see the playlist feature better support audio streams.
There has been much discussion in the past about the absence of a good program for listening to streaming audio on the Zaurus. I hope to see this feature improved in a future release.

Hi,

it would be very nice to see a kino2 version which displays album covers during mp3 playback. eg. if kino2 finds a picture file named like the album id tag in the same directory.The Archos PMA430 player does this - its great!

This seems to be a bug, thanks for reporting.
