I used the home-button to get back to xterm to see what it was doing and it's outputting printf's for (I'm guessing) the number of seconds decoded so far, but too many per second (once per second would still be useful as a debug/status thing, but wouldn't use up all the cpu time). It doesn't matter, of course, since most people won't start it from xterm and it'll quickly go to /dev/null. Even with the slowdown, my 770 doesn't skip while playing.

Hooray. I had to do it from the command-line to find the problem. UKMP requires python2.5-gstreamer (or the python2.4 version). This is on a fresh install of os2006, otherwise I would have had it installed anyway. Just thought it'd be a good prerequisite for the .deb, too.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the media player / youtube downloader/viewer, Konttori!

Earlier today I thought of something which could improve on the player fairly easily. Since i like to leave my n800 in my pocket I find that I always locking and unlocking the touchscreen. The only problem is, if i locked the tablet while i was in track view then the 'touch screen and keys active' dialog that appears in the top right hand corner of the screen blocks the albums button for about 2 seconds. Normally when i unlock the tablet it is because i want to change the song and so this slows me down. The two easiest ways i can think of to fix this are either to reposition the button to the bottom left or to make the button larger so that it can still be pressed even when the dialog is up. I apologise because of how nitpicky this comment is however, I think that it will improve the experience for everyone.

I have tested it quite a bit on the python 2.4 install and asian font rendering just didn't work. Considering that python 2.5 install pack seems to have roughly the same pygame version, asian stuff is just out of reach for a while.Konttorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13624128995827387189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25111815.post-22151979213683762382007-07-25T15:35:00.000-07:002007-07-25T15:35:00.000-07:00My wet dream is kinetic movements for browsing.......My wet dream is kinetic movements for browsing....pleeezAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25111815.post-35073588780792290862007-07-25T15:02:00.000-07:002007-07-25T15:02:00.000-07:00I was refering to the id3 tags.

From x-term, I get the python error message about pygame - is it possible to either add pygame as a prerequisite (so it gets installed by app manager first automatically) or at least come up with a message window about what needs to be installed before ukmp will run? BTW, I've been using uktube for several versions now and that works fine, but the mediacenter part hasn't worked for several versions. I was too lazy before this to figure out why.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25111815.post-73813507728195439912007-07-24T18:27:00.000-07:002007-07-24T18:27:00.000-07:00really nice improvements!you're doing an amazing j...really nice improvements!<BR/>you're doing an amazing job on this app!<BR/><BR/>i just have a question though...maybe i didn't find how, but is there a way to have a seek bar when it's playing an mp3? because i have some 1:30 hour mixes and i don't want to play it from the beginning each time??<BR/><BR/>really nice work anyway!<BR/>thanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25111815.post-2876699211077258822007-07-24T11:11:00.000-07:002007-07-24T11:11:00.000-07:00could you add 'pl.youtube' prefix into uktube?could you add 'pl.youtube' prefix into uktube?Imrahilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11695649502525674753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25111815.post-44405639981864862972007-07-24T06:10:00.000-07:002007-07-24T06:10:00.000-07:00looks nice, but the packaging is still broken. cre...looks nice, but the packaging is still broken. creates a /debian dir in the rootfs.disqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101763717080341551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25111815.post-71207848558154869892007-07-24T03:41:00.000-07:002007-07-24T03:41:00.000-07:00Hey, that looks really nice, great work again. :) ...Hey, that looks really nice, great work again. :) That type of scrolling is certainly something we are looking into.roopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16987319469718232169noreply@blogger.com
